I took Dublin Bus from the airport, 1.90 euro, and had no difficulty finding the DCU Accommodations. Check in was simple. Bring a network cable with you or get one from them for a 5 Euro deposit. My room was on the ground floor and was clean and bright. White cement walls, desk, chair, bed and ensuite shower, sink and... More

If you wish to listen to, and cavort with, European under 18's and under 16's drinking alcohol, running riot, vandalising, throwing glass bottles around and screaming/shouting/singing and disturbing the peace till 5am without reprimand from the accommodation office and campus security then this is the place for you to stay.

Dear Dr. Wilson, Firstly I would like to apologise for the delay in replying to your post. We have had a few changes in personnel and unfortunately your comments only came to light recently. I am very disappointed that your experience while staying in DCU was not a good one and I would like to express my sincerest apologies for... More

This is a University. When you book accommodations with the word University in the title, that should give you a big hint. That being said, our accommodations were that of a dorm room. We are a fairly young couple so two twin beds, desk, tv, internet access fit us perfectly, especially since all we needed was a place to sleep.... More

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

My fist room was a bit out-dated room on street level and wasn’t cleaned after previous visitor. 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
