Our trip to Dublin was really nice, but it was really hard to find the DCU! The signs weren't very helpful at all and the description on the website wasn't either! The room was really small and had only a chair and a small table and a bed, but that was pretty much all you needed for a few days.... More

This place is perfect for many different types of break. Unlike what other people have said, it is very convenient to the airport. You can get a bus, costing €1.60 from the airport to within 1km of the university. There's also a shopping centre located at the bus stop, with clothes shops and supermarket. It's easy to walk to the... More

Stayed in a room at DCU for 5 nights in August 09 while attending an international conference there. My room was part of an 'apartment' which consisted of a number of rooms off a corridor - bedrooms with ensuites plus a common room with kitchenette, dining table and chairs and some lounge furniture. This was a great setup for our... More

Don't bother staying here. This is a college dorm, and not a very good one. It is small, sparse, dirty, and in a horrible location. Dining facilities on campus typically close early, and there is no convenient dining option nearby. The room had a small bed, built in desk, and small bathroom with a very dirty shower. My stay was... More

I changed the room because the young people made so much noise on the pedestrian street I couldn’t sleep. The second room was more modern and more spacious. Breakfast was great, although it was a bit strangely organised. You had a voucher valued... More

DCU has recieved both good and bad reviews. To me, the goods overshadow the bads. Actually, there aren't too many negatives to point out, at least not to a young student traveling with the intention to explore. First things first; location. The University is situated fairly far from the city center - at least for walking. Getting to and from... More

We booked this via Ryan Air website through Expedia believing that it was a 3 star hotel situated in the grounds of the university. It's not!!!! This accomodation is student accomodation sold to the general public under false trading description. After arriving at the airport , at midnight, amass thousands of other people we eventually found a bus that would... More

Good points were the friendly and helpful receptionists , clean towels every day and fantastic breakfasts. Bad points were the foreign students - mainly Italians who shouted outside the residences late at night/early in the morning as they returned from socialising, the different lot of Italian students who congregated noisily in the courtyard at 4 am on our leaving day...
