I needed an overnight stay before catching a flight the following morning. All the airport hotels were ridiculously expensive (170+ euros) and then I found this option to stay at DCU for about 75 euros. Managed to get the bus from the airport to DCU which cost 2.70 euros [NOTE they only take cash on the bus and they do not give change, luckily I had 8 euros in change to cover my bus fare to DCU and back to the airport the following morning] Bus stop was right outside DCU when getting dropped off. Note the bus stop for pickup when going to the airport on the other side of the road + a small walk away. There is a bus stop directly across from the DCU entrance but this is drop-off only. You also have to flag the bus down to stop otherwise it will just drive past you !! Had received good instructions via email telling me where to find the accommodation reception, so found it no bother. Staff were great at checking me in and giving a map of the campus to get to the accommodation block. Room was basic (it's a student dorm so I expected this) but it was clean and provided a bed/bedding and towels for the shower/bathroom. I was also able to pop in a use the campus bar to get a drink. All in all, it served my purpose really well in that I had a bed for the night and a shower for the morning at a reasonable price. Would certainly use again.

Service desk was great. Room was a student room as expected. All fine. Dcu was very busy and many of the young folks were very loud next door and just outside our windows. Screaming and hollering.. otherwise it was good.

The room was clean and well maintained and ideal for college students and/or solo travelers on a budget. It has 1 single bed, a study table and a bathroom. I got a 10 euro coupon for breakfast the next day and that was pretty good and includes hot and cold items and coffee/juice etc. It opens at 730am. There’s also a Euro Spar market and subway across the street from the main entrance and a store and pharmacy on campus. Overall a great deal for your money!!

The location is great, is was near our family and bus lines to Dublin. The room prices are good but you’re staying in a tiny dorm room. It was nice and quiet when we stayed in May. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The maid service made the beds every night but forgot to replace towels. The worse thing about the whole experience was the in room bathroom. It needed total renovation. The grout was in terrible shape, the toilet bowl was rusted and the sink was beat. There’s also no bathroom fan available and some signs of mold. Our room was ground level and the window faced a maintenance area where some workers smoked. Overall it’s probably a ok experience for prospective college students. The DCU campus was busy even offseason but it’s very subpar for a hotel room for parents or any adults.

A horrible experience and difficult to find.

Not only did the address provided NOT get me to the building, but once the cab driver found the place, there was nobody around to let me into the room. Yes, I came in quite late, but I was assured in advance by two people that the security guard would be available. When I asked a person walking by if they'd seen the guard, they said it's not safe to go wandering around to find him. That was scary. And then, once the guard arrived and I was in the room, it smelled terrible and I discovered the toilet was backed up and didn't flush. Being ultra-prepared, I had even checked their own website to see "how to get there" and all it said was they were close to the airport and to take certain buses. They didn't explain that you couldn't drive onto the campus, and that you needed to skirt around to access from the rear. The address given led to the front gate, which is the opposite side of the campus from the dorm building. Overall a horrible experience, and I'm SO thankful to my Uber driver for sticking with it and finding the dorm building. The only reason I'm giving it 2 instead of 1 star is that it was the only place in Dublin that had a bed for under 120 euros, and it did feel great to finally sleep after a long flight. Even if it was in a stench-filled room with a broken toilet.
