Team Accommodation in Dublin: Shared Homes and Multi-Apartment Stays

Bringing a team to Dublin for several weeks or months means finding somewhere that works for the people as well as the company budget. Separate hotel rooms are not the only option. A three-bedroom home or a combination of apartments can keep colleagues together, provide space for everyday living and offer better value when the arrangements suit the team.

At EirStay, we can discuss both approaches: our three-bedroom homes for smaller groups and our multi-unit Donnybrook collection for teams who want to stay in the same area with more independence. Here is how to decide which approach fits your assignment.

A three-bedroom home: keep a small team under one roof

For colleagues working on the same project, a shared home can be a practical alternative to separate hotel rooms. Everyone has the same starting point each morning, a kitchen for meals and somewhere to spend time outside the bedroom after work.

We have two three-bedroom properties that can suit team stays. Sandford Gardens in Dublin 8 is one option to explore, with three bedrooms, a private garden and space for up to five guests within its advertised sleeping arrangements. Contact us for details of our other three-bedroom home and the options for your dates.

For a company placing three colleagues, a three-bedroom home may allow each person their own room. That is different from assuming everyone can have a separate bed at the maximum guest capacity. Tell us how many people are travelling, whether anyone will share and whether each person needs a private bedroom, so we can check the actual layout with you.

A house works especially well when colleagues have compatible routines. If the team works different shifts, needs more bathroom privacy or prefers separate living spaces, several apartments may be a better fit.

Donnybrook: several apartments, one team location

We also manage multi-unit properties, which gives a company another way to house colleagues together without everyone sharing one home. Our Donnybrook collection includes two two-bedroom apartments and one one-bedroom apartment.

The two-bedroom apartments can suit pairs of colleagues who each want a bedroom while sharing a kitchen and living area. Booking both apartments may work for four colleagues seeking four separate bedrooms, subject to the room arrangements and both homes being available for the same dates.

This approach keeps colleagues in the same neighbourhood while giving smaller groups their own space. It can suit project teams, staff attending training, visiting specialists and production colleagues staying for several weeks.

Donnybrook is a southside Dublin 4 base worth considering for work in Donnybrook, Ballsbridge and the wider south city. The best choice depends on the actual workplace, start times and transport needs—not just a postcode. Send us the office or site address so we can discuss the location with you before you book.

Add a one-bedroom apartment for someone who needs their own space

Not every member of a team has the same requirements. A project lead, visiting specialist or colleague joining for only part of the assignment may prefer their own apartment.

Our one-bedroom Donnybrook apartment can be considered alongside the two two-bedroom homes. Across all three apartments there are five bedrooms, offering a potential arrangement for five colleagues with a bedroom each, if all three homes are available and the layouts suit the group.

You do not need to book all three. Tell us which people are arriving when and we can check a suitable combination. Do not assume that an apartment can be added later or an existing stay extended: additional nights and units need to be confirmed.

Where the value comes from for a company

Putting colleagues together can offer good value, particularly over a longer assignment. The useful comparison is the total cost of accommodation that meets the team's needs—not simply the lowest headline nightly rate.

• Shared accommodation costs: compare the quote for a house or apartment with the cost of the separate hotel rooms you would otherwise need. Divide the total by the number of colleagues and nights to get a meaningful per-person comparison.
• A kitchen for everyday meals: colleagues can prepare breakfast, packed lunches and dinner rather than relying on eating out for every meal. Actual savings depend on how the team uses the space.
• More manageable travel: a shared address or a small group of apartments in one area can simplify pickups and daily coordination. Check the commute to your specific workplace before choosing.
• A simpler accommodation brief: discuss the group with one EirStay team rather than approaching separate hosts for every colleague.
• Space for an extended stay: separate living and sleeping areas make it easier to settle into a routine during weeks away from home.

We do not promise that sharing will always be cheaper. Dates, length of stay, occupancy and the available homes affect the quote. Ask us for the full price, what is included and the payment and cancellation terms, then compare like for like. Check any company travel-policy requirements before committing.

Match the accommodation to the assignment

Small project team: consider a three-bedroom home when colleagues are comfortable sharing communal space and the workplace is practical to reach.

Team needing more independence: consider the Donnybrook apartments when colleagues want separate living spaces but a common neighbourhood base.

Film or production assignment: account for early starts, late finishes and staggered arrivals. Our production crew accommodation guide covers the wider planning brief, while Prep, Shoot, Wrap looks at changing needs during an assignment.
