Binary Hub

I stayed here for a period of four months from January-May 2023 while studying in Dublin. While the accommodation itself is acceptable, only stay here if you are absolutely fine with maintenance men coming into your apartment at any and all hours of the day with no warning. The workers were apparently externally hired and not a part of Binary Hub staff, though they typically did not wear any type of uniform/form of identification other than occasional white overalls worn by the painters. They would constantly enter apartments without knocking or announcing themselves, and there would be little communication (and sometimes even none at all) from management about when they would be coming in to do work. Living in a female-only apartment, it is absolutely terrifying to open your bedroom door and see a grown man in a sweatshirt standing in your hallway or kitchen, or to be making lunch and suddenly see a man walking through your front door. Typically they would announce themselves when entering individual rooms, but even then the amount of time given between the announcement and the door being opened was incredibly minimal, and sometimes even involved opening doors and then announcing themselves afterwards. Additionally, they would often sing, swear, and talk extremely loudly in the apartment beginning at nine in the morning and occasionally lasting until five at night. These disturbances happened for a period of several weeks consistently, and then periodically throughout the rest of the semester. Despite several residents complaining, sending emails (to which no response was ever received), and even putting up signs in the hallways, nothing ever changed and no action was ever taken to make residents feel more comfortable. Though the workers themselves could be nice, their actions were extremely unprofessional and the Binary Hub staff had no concerns whatsoever. As it is now the week of final exams for my studies and I am still having to deal with maintenance workers coming in unannounced and doing work when I should be studying, I am at my wit’s end with this apartment. Also, the walls are lime green. Take that as you will.
