Ok Imma be honest.
I've only been here for a one night stand on my last night in Dublin, so I can't really say THAT much, buuuut I liked the entrance door and entrance room. I enjoyed going up with the lift. I liked the other doors and the room of my date was very cozy and nice...

Despite the quality of building and friendly staff, Kavanagh court suffers from serious mismanagement and poor hygiene.
The room and the unit were full of hair on the ground when I arrived.
The clogged drain of the bathtub led to an awful experience in the first shower. It was crystal clear that no one had cleaned the room before delivering it to me.
Residents are in charge of cleaning the common area, and there is no extra cleaning service or waste removal.
They deliver parcels with 2-3 days delay. A friend of mine sent a book to me via Amazon Prime. While she received the delivery confirmation, I never received the book.
Be careful of the locked doors even when you haven't close them. Once, it happened to me that I went to Kitchen and my door room got locked automatically at 00:30 while the key and my phone were inside the room. I was lucky enough to find someone to help. Otherwise, I should have slept in the Kitchen.
I booked for the gym twice, and when I attended, I found out they didn't give me door access—several requests for such a small thing were time-wasting and disappointing.
Internet connection was poor with repetitive disconnections during online meetings. I found a studio flat and moved 12 days sooner than finishing the contract because it was hard to bear.
However, they even did not accept my male friend to stay there in the residual contract days on the pretext of the (girls-only flat). I was surprised how I had been accommodated in a girls-only flat without any notice! I recommend them removing the rainbow flag from their office. They not only assume people's gender but accommodate them in gender-segregated flats without even letting them know! Trinity College needs to review the eligibility of such accommodations more strictly. Not recommended.

I stayed in Kavanagh Court for one semester in the fall of 2022. It is not located in the poshest neighbourhood, but by no means is it sketchy. It is well located to amenities. Parnell Street (mini-Chinatown) is right across the road. Talbot Street (pubs and Lidl) and Henry Street (shopping) are all within a 10 minute walk. And Trinity is 15 minutes away by foot, or 10 minutes by the tram. The room is newly renovated, but if you are stickler for cleanliness do clean your room upon moving in. The facilities are decent, and the management does try to make life easier for residents. If you are an exchange student coming to Trinity, Kavanagh Court presents itself as a wonderful option.

Kavanagh Court is well located, as you are in the city center and not far from landmarks, grocery stores, good restaurants, etc. It is quite new and well maintained. You have a lot of storage in the bedroom. I would recommend booking a bigger sized room if you can though, especially if you are tall.
I've been living there for two years and I must say that at some moments, especially last year, it could get chaotic. However, they have always trying to accommodate residents as best as they could. It got much better in the last months. My room were always cleaned when I moved in.
The boss Regan has also been really helpful for the issues I've encountered since January (rebooking for the summer, flatmates' behaviours, stuff breaking and being repaired immediately).
The new systems they have started to implement are very user-friendly and efficient (like booking the hoover, forms, etc).

Partner stayed here while studying abroad, rooms and facilities are all new as of probably over 1 year ago. Safe and secure area the cafe out the from does awesome pizza and coffee. Directly across the road you can catch the bus to the airport is only €3.30 instead of using the 747 bus €7 just takes a little longer.
