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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

NIGHTMARE. First time to give feedback on a hotel as a Expedia Gold member. It was my worst experience and I wonder why Expedia list it in hotel section. This is a UNIVERSITY DORM with a hotel level price! I was fooled by the picture. The room is just TINY. The picture shows you pretty much the entire room. Their front desk is only for 8am-8pm. The wall is paper thin. You can hear everything from your neighbors. The bed is terrible since it comprises two mattresses with different thickness. The surrounding is terribly noisy with college parties all night. But students there are awesome and front desk staff are also nice. In conclusion, the property itself is ugly and highly over-priced.
