Guest Reviews
- Chirathi (10/5): - Great place to stay for a night!
- Maureen (10/5): - Friendly staff, great price, all the amenities, conveniently located, clean. Could use a new shower head, but even with that, I'd 100% stay here again and recommend others stay here too!
- David (8/5): - Nice location, friendly people, excellent amenities l.
- BHAVIN (2/5): - Property is highly run down .... not suitable even for a night .... It was dirty and untidy .... would never recommend to anyone ....
- Eric (10/5): - Our stay here went quite smoothly, and the breakfast included was a great bonus. We’d be happy to stay again!
- Sophia (8/5): - I stayed for 2 nights. I felt incredibly safe while staying here. I also appreciated the breakfast vouchers. Across the street was a park that was lovely to walk around. It could have been a little cleaner but overall I am very happy with my stay.
- TETYANA (10/5): - It’s in a beat
- Holger (8/5): - Für Dubliner Verhältnisse günstig, nettes Personal, ruhig in einer Studentenunterkunft gelegen, sauber, Verkehrsverbindung gut mit Bus, ausser Sonntags früh, dann sind die Verbindungen etwas lückenhaft, also unbedingt vorher im Netz oder am Aushang an der Haltestelle schauen.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Suited a one night stay for a concert. Buffet breakfast available and beds were comfortable.
- Charlotte (8/5): - The actual accommodation was perfect for my friend and I! Nothing to complain about there. However the only thing that’s worth mentioning was the staff in the students union bar and restaurant. We were asked for ID before being able to buy drinks at the bar which was absolutely fine, although one of the workers proceeded to tell us they weren’t right and that our drivers licenses should have a Union Jack on them since we are from Northern Ireland. Quite taken back by this to be honest but we let it slide and proved it was us on our id’s by showing our Facebook profiles. Another worker made our drinks but got the order wrong so when I kindly corrected him he did not seem happy and started shaking his head. Didn’t feel welcome in the bar so we went back up to our room. Despite that we had a really nice stay at DCU accommodation.
- Ariane (10/5): Very nice option - It was a great stay! Very convenient with buses to go from the airport and to the city center. The price is very good and the breakfast is complete with lots of choices. The only problem was that we could hear people party outside quite loudly, so I wouldn't recommend to anyo e having trouble sleeping! Also, the mattresses were quite hard.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bad customer service - Overall our stay was totally fine for the most part, however we tried to check in 3 times and everytime we asked staff dismissed us and started speaking to each other. We waited for around 45 minutes after check in time and we were still being ignored by staff. After a changeover of staff we asked again and we were checked in within 5 minutes of speaking to another member of staff. Staff were asked to help us but just blatantly ignored us to talk to each other. The room was clean and we had no issue, however we feel that the staff should be more accommodating as even the manager ignored us when we were waiting for the 45 minutes to check in.
- john (10/5): great - great place to stay,excellent public transport to city centre,good bar for food and drink at main door of residences
- Gill (8/5): - Well situated for the airport. Excellent bus routes into the city centre. Reasonably priced.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great - For the price of this hotel I will pleasently suprised. Clean room with private bathroom
- Lisa (2/5): Mould/ Disappointment - Our room was compact, no blinds, no curtains at the 5ftx5ft window that overlooked a courtyard and a stairwell. We were unable to have the lights on or change in the room (this would have been classed as indecent exposure). The shower room had mold on the ceiling and tiles. We reported to reception the blinds and curtains were missing on two different occasions, 2 nights we slept without and coverage on the window. The night before we were taking an early flight reception decided to offer another room, so we moved late at night. The new room had blinds and curtains and faced a forest so no curtains needed. Least to say they declined a refund. The 2night stay cost £200+ for a mouldy shower room and room without any curtains or blinds. Needless to say they care more about money than their customers.
- Mahlia (8/5): - Lovely room and nice, clean kitchen. Staff were super friendly and helpful! Breakfast was a nice touch too. Room was extremely hot and having the window open meant that we could hear the international/summer camp kids all night who were very loud! Not the hotels fault ofc but don't expect a peaceful night's sleep lol
- Catherine (10/5): - A lot of international students staying which meant they were very noisy but all quiet by 1 am. Good option on a budget, clean rooms
- Mike (10/5): - This is a great place to stay in Dublin. Close to bus stops that will get you into the city centre. Nice and class to the airport.
- Mark (6/5): - Very noisy in the evening and at night, some days better than others, bed was very uncomfortable, 2 single beds bolted together and no tv
- Jenni (8/5): DCU Ireland - When we finally got our rooms, they were clean & tidy.
- Sean (8/5): Check-in Delay - Check-in at 3.00pm was extremely slow as a lot of the rooms and key cards didn't appear to be ready. There wasn't enough check-in staff on duty so a long queue formed.
- Paula (10/5): - Very helpful staff, check in and out was easy. Clean, great location and good price.
- Phyllis (8/5): - The stay also included a traditional Irish Breakfast in the cafeteria…pretty cool experience room was basic but met our needs. Would stay again
- Shelby (4/5): - I really wouldn’t recommend staying here. Beds are uncomfortable and the housing is awkward. A private room but shared common area with another person in their private room. Can hear the other private room going to the bathroom. It’s not worth the price. It’s far from everything. Book a real hotel.
- Jacob (8/5): - The beds were not particularly comfortable but other than that it was very nice
- Karen (10/5): - Limited food options in the evening. Good transport links into Dublin centre. Would certainly stay at DCU Glasnevin again.
- Christine (8/5): - Very quiet, excellent breakfast, easy walk to the bus line. Basic room, but worked for what we needed.
- Mark (4/5): - The room was poor quality and no hot water and the staff didn’t care
- Verna (6/5): - No TV in our room. Two ceiling lights and one didn’t work half the time. No hand towel the first day.
- Jan (10/5): - Value for money. Easy commute into Dublin with plenty of regular buses
- Colin (10/5): VG budget option - Very good budget option close to the city centre. Very neat, clean rooms with all the basics covered. Accommodation was set in a very modern building in pleasant open countryside
- Andrew (10/5): Brilliant - Excellent accommodation and facilities, pleasantly surprising for the price. Would definitely stay again
- Stephen (10/5): - Having been priced out of Dublin city centre hotels, I decided to give DCU Rooms a try. And what a find! Spacious rooms, quiet location, comfy beds and great transport links. Glasnevin also has great places to explore especially the botanical gardens and national cemetery. Highly recommemd
- Farnaz (4/5): - Small and old bathroom. Shouldn't have expected more.
- Fraser (8/5): - DCU rooms are pretty good, they are Dorm rooms so some limited on facilities, but for a nice quiet room with a comfortable bed and a bathroom it’s very nice. Would definitely stay here again.
- Brett (2/5): Disgusting…. Go Somewhere Else! - Unfortunately, our room was totally disgusting. Water damage and mold around the bathroom sink and even worse on the shower soap dispenser, walls, and ceiling. Floor tiles were cracked and cut your feet if you didn’t step over them. The shower drain backed up really badly and barfed gross black chunks back into the shower pan. It appears the newer shower pan was installed on top of the old? Incredibly shoddy. Side table lights had burnt out bulbs, windows were stuck closed. We’ve stayed in student accommodation all over the world, including in other dormitories in Dublin. We weren’t looking for a 5 star hotel; but for the high price being paid, a clean room in good repair is expected.
- Rebecca (8/5): Suitable to sleep - We stayed for a few nights and found it was lovely and big campus. We weren't told where to have breakfast and we got lost trying to find it, then we didn't get told what we could eat in terms of our coupons and we didn't get to eat the following two days after paying for it. The room was standard but good enough for staying in for sleeping, the sink was leaking, the tap was cracked and we got soaked in the rain and the radiator didn't even turn on. Was not happy but least we got them dry the old fashioned way. The nubar club was nice and cheap for food, the sharer we had was delicious and the pizza. Overall a pleasant enough stay
- Kris (8/5): - Economical, staff not giving clear directions to room. Map helped but doors out of lift need to be labelled
- Thomas (8/5): - It was €75 per night so it was fine for what it is - a student apartment. I was on the ground floor beside the building entrance so a lot of young people congregated at night and they could be a bit loud. I wish that security came around a bit more. But overall it was fine - you get what you pay for. Excellent breakfast.
- Daniel (8/5): - Nice staff, right in campus. No dishes in the kitchen.
- ELIZABETH (6/5): - The elevator was not working, the tv was not working. You cannot use the spad or other facilities from the campus Generally the hotel's prices are very high in Dublin. I was shocked how small are the rooms and overpriced
- Federico (10/5): - The campus is very beautiful, and the staff is very nice and friendly. The bus takes you to the city centre in 15 minutes and cost 2€. Considering that the room costs half the price of a similar room in Dublin City centre, is definitely recommended.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not fit for purpose - Old, tired, dirty, stained. Gym and swimming pool not connected to hotel.
- Brooke (8/5): - The room was very spacious and was exactly as pictured online. Perfect for two people travelling together, a bus at the campus edge took us straight into town which was easy. Funnily enough the only complaint was the water pressure was far too hard! Other than that our stay met expectations.
- Ron (8/5): - It’s a good place if you aren’t planing to stay at your room
- Claire (10/5): - Great place to stay, friendly staff and great breakfast
- Anne (8/5): Excellent Value for money - Accommodation is hard to find in Dublin at the minute. This accommodation is clean, well serviced and excellent value. It is a student residence so not a traditional hotel format but in many ways this is so much more attractive. Guests have access to a small shared lounge area as well as your room and all the facilities of the university campus. Excellent value for money - well done DCU
- Suzanne (8/5): - Price was good but trade off is without a car you need to take a bus into the city centre. Staff person on duty for check-in seemed put out and angry at all of us waiting. Line up to check in was slow. Cafeteria staff were very nice. Breakfast was included.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - It was okay, not the cleanest but good price and fine for 1 night.
- Stephen (10/5): - Good value and super friendly and helpful staff. Advert on this site was misleading as it stated that some services at the accommodation were available when this was not the case.
- Verified traveler (2/5): BE CAREFUL BOOKING- ONLY PART TIMERS - I can only say, they are not there in the evening and they do not answer their phone, so was useless for my late plane arrival, could not get access. Hotels.com (operator was somewhere in America) was equally unhelpful, taking over half an hour to say they could do nothing, could not organize alternate accommodation and did not make a refund. Overall a very poor show.
- Adam (8/5): Enjoyed my stay - No one was around , it was so quiet and that was great. For the price the room was excellent. Its basic and it met my expectations. Its hard to find at first if you go by public transport from the airport. The location is decent and it's got a store on site, there is a pharmacy nearby too. Only one small thing, the double bed was 2 singles and there was a noticeable lump down the middle where the 2 beds met.
- Matthew (10/5): Clean, safe, economical stay - Recommended - Perfect for a transit stopover but I would stay here again for other reasons. Staff was polite and prepared. They sent me with a brown bag breakfast since I was going to miss service in the cafeteria the next morning - very nice touch! Rooms are college dorms so are very basic but comfortable and very clean. If you want luxury and service pay much more and stay elsewhere. It's on a college campus and so the area is transportation rich - lots of public options into town or to the airport. There is a small grocery on campus just a few minutes' walk and other shops in the area. Security of the building and of the campus area was good. The wi-fi worked great. It's a little tricky to find but with a phone map and some preparation it's doable. Reception is at one location (the sport complex), your room will be in another building a short walk away. Bottom line: I'd stay here again and would recommend to friends. This place is nothing fussy or fancy but is really great if you want a clean, safe place to stay.
- Bernd (8/5): - The price / Value ratio is quite good. I understand now why Venice has banned Suitcases with wheels. All night long someone is pulling the suitcase through the court and waking up every one with the window open. Very annoying
- Ashley (6/5): - Just what we needed for one night's stay however our room& bedding had such a terrible smell upon arriving. We opened the window all night but that hardly helped. The beds are uncomfortable & the pillow was so thin we woke up with neck pain. The college bar had great service, good food & cold beer. Price per night should not be as high for what you are getting.
- Sarah Anne (8/5): Good value for money - Good value for money but not the most comfortable or the cleanest. Breakfast was very basic but decent. Rooms very cramped but decent for the price.
- Olivia (6/5): No sleep - Knowing i was staying in a dorm room, i wasnt expecting luxury. Although the front desk service personnel were great and the room was secure, clean and adequately provisioned, the bed was like sleeping on a skeleton! There was NO comfortable position given the springs poking through. There was a pretty good cafe on campus nearby where I enjoyed a good moderately priced meal. However, thanks to no sleep, i was able to sleep on the plane trip back to the States.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The lobby and accommodations were great! Kind staff, but the rooms are very lacking. There was no air conditioning so during the night it was very difficult to get any sleep.
- umbreeny (8/5): - Quiet, comfortable and fairly close to the airport. Excellent continental one breakfast/lunch meal per day. Friendly and cooperative staff. Super safe, with secured buildings and rooms. Late check-in was huge help...there's security and front desk staff available 24*7. The only disadvantage is poor access to public transportation, requires a 20 minute walk from campus to the main road. I had the staff arrange a cab for me and paid 20 Euros for a smooth and comfortable ride to the airport instead.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Cheap and clean. Beds a bit flimsy. Staff great. Don’t have anything else to say about it but apparently reviews here have a minimum character limit.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent staff was friendly clean I would recommend
- Lorraine (10/5): Great stay - Lovely staff, lovely room and at a great price for a busy sporting weekend in Dublin.
- Hsiaoping (10/5): - An excellent option for a budget travel. No complaint for its cleaness. The front desk is super friendly and helpful. Although its room is quite simple, you can almost find anything you needed on site. Another plus for this place is the free meal vouchers. Two vouchers for two guests every day, which gives you almost free breakfast and lunch. Will stay here again.
- Wendy (10/5): - We had a Very Good stay at dcu! The room was clean and had all the comfort, we were Not to far from the city and close to public transport.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Booked one room for 2 with a double bed. Got 2 rooms with single beds. Very basic.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The one and only positive attribute this place has is it's proximity to the airport but even that would not be enough for me to ever stay there again
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The security was very good and the campus very attractive. There was easy free parking and good (unsecured) wifi. It was disappointing that there was no television either in the room or in a common area in the building. The kitchen was very poorly equipped. The only cutlery was teaspoons, the only crockery was mugs. There were no plates, no dishes and no cooking equipment whatsoever.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Only problem I had with the room was that the shower was over flowing other than that it was good
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Was a lot nicer than I was expecting. All u need for a cheap wkend away
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It’s clean and the staff were lovely. I would stay there again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed for 1 night room was basic but very clean free wi fi worked well breakfast was excellent for price couldn't complain, would use DCU again.
- Gillian (8/5): - Accommodation is very basic but rooms were clean, friendly service..! Cheap and cheerful..!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Check in was at 3pm which was a bit late to be honest. We came over from the UK for a gig at Croke Park. Whilst we were aware of the check in time i feel an early check in could be possible if needed at an extra charge as late check out can be given. We waited from around 10.30 till 13.30 for our room as there was hardly anywhere local to explore. Its a bit of a trek from the main road to the campus. Anyway onto the room. The room itself was clean. However it was very basic. No television and very awkward positioning of plug sockets. The bathroom was a shocker. It wasnt spotlessly clean but it was passable. But where the hell was the bathroom light??? There was no fitting to even suggestion there was ever one in place. Nothing. No lighting zilch. This resorted in a very awkward moment where my friend pooped on the toilet with the door open because she needed light. That wasnt what i needed to hear. I just dont understand why there was no light in there. The oddest accommodation i have stayed in to be honest. Staff were friendly, the breakfast cafe menu was poor. Ok for a quick visit overnight if not going to be on the premises long. Pretty much cheap and get what you pay for. Only booked as everywhere else was practically full for the Westlife concert.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Not an economical choice for airport stopovers because the transportation by bus is difficult (about a 20 minute walk with luggage) or requires a taxi. Signage is lacking and difficult to follow.
- Niall (8/5): - Mainly good. Shame about the chaos for breakfast on Monday. Shop opening hours were poor also. Guests should be encouraged to use communal reception room with small kitchen.
- John (4/5): - Excellent breakfast options. Terrible shower drain and room cleanliness.
- Frank (10/5): Honest value for money. - Great value alternative to staying in a mediocre hotel in Dublin for a ridiculous rate
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff very helpful, very basic facilities, no heating provided
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I dodn't like the kack of signage, the complicated walkways which are closed off due to industrial digging, as well as poor information given to me by the expedia booking agent who said that i could stay in the same room for two nights even though i had two seprate reservations, instead i had to pack up and check out and then wait 4 hrs for my other room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was very comfortable and staff was nice.Thanks a lot.
- Manu (4/5): - Last night before we checked out the staff came up with a brilliant idea to test the very loud fire alarm around 9PM without any advance notice. Testing the fire alarms is an important procedure however it needs to be coordinated and timed properly! It shouldn’t be too much to ask if the accommodation office would advise guests of such inconveniences when checking in.
- Donna (8/5): Great place to stay for a short visit - This was a great stay however, the hot water did not work one morning. Maybe it was too early (5:30) but it worked great the following day. It is in a college campus and there were a lot of groups. Breakfast was very good. If you’re looking for an economical place to stay, this is fantastic! It is a twenty-five minute bus ride to downtown and a five minutes walk to the the bus stop. Overall, it was an excellent stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and well organised Great transport links to the city Good breakfast choice
- Alejandra (10/5): - The assistant in the reception was very friendly. Room cleaning good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Proximity to town. Restaurant difficult to find for breakfast
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean, good sized room, powerful, hot shower, good breakfast and friendly staff.
- Mrs (2/5): - Rooms are very basic, although bed are quite comfy. Get the key from the reception we had to wait more then 45 minutes!!! Very poor service, but the staff were friendly. Parking places are very limited... Breakfast available from 7.30 which is very late. We can’t use this service as we had to be at the airport for 7. I personally not recommend this accommodation for anyone. (Unless you’re a student) and you just want a couple of hours sleep.) It worth to pay more for sure and stay somewhere else. Definitely won’t stay here again....
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The facilities thatbare available are ok. Theres olenty of onsite amenties sich as a bar, restaurant, bank, shop etc. The rooms are very basic. The problem for me was the noise levels. I could hear the person in the next room or across the hall like they were in my room. My room also looked over a court yard and it was very noisy on a night with groups of people gathering outside.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Dorm rooms resemble prison cells, it wouldn’t have bothered me too much if it wasn’t SO expensive. I have stayed in nice hotels for less than the cost of staying here. I wanted to use the gym in the morning but was told that’s an additional €20!!!!! Absolute madness. Would NOT recommend and will not return.
- Dr Gerry (2/5): Wide berth - Disaster- moved from twin en-suite rooms due to essential maintenance to single room dorms with shared toilet/showers. Miserable thin mattress and 1 flat pillow. Paper thin wall left it noisy all night and people starting knocking on my door from 6am thinking I was part of their entourage! Went on past 8am. Booking process was a farce! They moved our party of 8 to a facility that hadn’t capacity to accommodate then tried to move us back. A very poor service, employees I dealt with were polite however and tried their best. Overwhelmed and poor follow up.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Didn’t end up staying here. Could not contact anyone at the university to try and change/rearrange the dates. Not pleased.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Basic student rooms, but if its a short trip its ideal. Felt like being a student again, and the campus was clean, modern and had amazing food to other. Busses ran every 5 mins at the top of the road, and only a 15 min ride into the centre. Its next to a park too which is lovely. Also had a convenient store and pub down the road. Will come again for sure.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very comfy and friendly staff. The breakfast was really nice
- Maureen (10/5): Great stay ! - A lovely place to stay. Good shower, free parking, great breakfast, very friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Campus setting was neat. Not much more to say, we got there late in the day and caught our plane early the next morning.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - It’s student accommodation, so it was never going to be 5 star-it’s cheap and cheerful. The rooms were clean but well used and a distinct smell of ground in gym bag didn’t help. That said, ample free car parking, breakfast included and all the staff/ students were lovely and very helpful.. if ur not super fussy it’s fine for 1 nite but as my student days are long behind me, I won’t be rushing back!
- kathy (8/5): Great vibe - Great breakfast & wifi. Allow approx 30 minutes to bus to downtown; bus stops close & frequently. Guests can pay to use sports facilities but at €20/day its a bit expensive. Would stay again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Christine's stay - Really convenient and easy to book. Staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Matthew. It was a really nice stay
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Dorm like setting, with a private bathroom/shower. The room was near a bank, which was on site, and a small shop in which to purchase snacks and drinks. An on site coffee shop made purchasing continental breakfast easy. There was a restaurant on site for hot breakfast. We received 9.95 Euro tickets which could be used at anytime during the day at either facility. a pub with food, and the staff was efficient and helpful. Laundry facilities were affordable and easy to use. Public transportation to downtown Dublin was within walking distance, and a three day or week pass could be purchased at the convenience store. A cab to the airport was affordable, although the cab driver over charged us when we were taken to the college. Highly recommend this convenient, clean, traveler friendly "Bed and Breakfast".
