Accommodation at Dromroe Village

We were announced that has been a decision taken to close the Cappavilla student village over the summer (for economy reasons).

We were invited to choose between the other two student villages, Thomond and Dromroe. Gabriela Avram (the local organisation chair) and Miriam O'Riordan(the student volunteers coordinator) together with Dolores Hanly, the business development manager of Limerick Conference and Sports Park ,visited both villages yesterday and decided to host our guests in Dromroe village, which is the closest to the buildings where the conference is taking place.

This means you won't have to walk over any of our beautiful bridges to get to your apartments, but if the weather is good, you'll get the chance to do it anyhow.

In Dromroe, the buildings are named after trees (they have birds names in Thomond and flowers names in Cappavilla). Each apartment consists of six bedrooms with double beds, each of them with its own bathroom en suite, a comfortable living area, kitchen and TV.
The cost of a room is 58€ per night, and a breakfast basket is brought to the apartments every evening. If you want to share the apartment with specific colleagues, don't forget to mention their names on the booking form.

The village has a Village Centre with a large arts space and two smaller meeting rooms, a convenience store, a self-service launderette.

Ciaran's Café, a famous vegetarian restaurant, is located in the village; besides the excellent vegetarian dishes, they also serve freshly-squeezed vegetable and fruit juices and good coffee.

The village reception can help you get a taxi if you're planning to go into town or you need one for getting to the airport.
