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

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.

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.

I liked the accomendation, but not for the price I paid. It was just a simple student housing and I paid the price of a hotel. Not worth the price, but nice nontheless

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Loved the room. We were just unlucky to be there when there were 5000 students coming to the University to play sports and etc. On top of that, they hung outside our window screaming about something ! It was 1:15am .........if they were not there, it would have been perfect!

The main reason for me to choose this location was because of the free parking and the price. Though the room was what I expected for the price, the breakfast that was included was above my expectations. Its part of campus and was great! Bottled water, juices, cold cereal and all the Irish breakfast items are included.

Noisy environment. ..groups of foreign students loud and disrespectful of quiet times, especially late at night Very substantial breakfast at convenient times..room basic, but clean Excellent public transportation close by Helpful and friendly reception staff Suggest other DCU accommodations, at similar high season affordable rates

The location was perfect, chose this spot because it was close to the airport for an early morning departure. Was somewhat difficult to find the building, signs near the street would have been helpful. The room was moderately clean, and the beds were tiny and creaky. Was a good idea, but would not stay again.
