DCU Rooms

Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Simple accommodation in the university campus. You can feel the beat of the student's life. We liked the possibility to stay close to our daughter-student. The apartment was big and reasonably equipped

Disappointing

Very Poor

  : It was spacious and had good utilities in the kitchen.
  : Not enough beds for three people even though I paid extra because even though it says under twelves are "free" it actually means two single beds for three people and thats 30 euros extra for a cot bed. I paid and still had no bed for my child. No reception on duty, only a security guard with poor English and it took the guy in the sports hall a few attenots to contact him so we waited an hour to check in and he also couldnt do anything about lack of beds. The worst part was there was no heating all night on a freezing cold October night and because of this, there was no hot water for a shower. Lifts didn't work properly, no clear over night parking, had to ask random people where that was and how to pay.

  : Location was good, price was one of the cheapest in Dublin
  : The room was uncomfortably hot, it was very worn, the loo roll holder was hanging off the wall

Pleasant
Traveller Type:
  : your question was how was your breakfast? nobody told us that breakfast is not available on Saturday
  : information as regards its distance from the nearest bus stop, approx 20 minute walk, hardly convenient for dublin city centre

Disappointing

  : Proximity to airport.
  : Finding the room took a long time. Getting out today the locked gates to get to the airport after midnight was worrying as no one seemed to know who to contact to get out. The room was so stuffy and there was no fan or aircon. The windows could not be opened. The students who live there were so noisy during the night. I would not recommend this as a stay to anyone.

  : Liked the quiet and proximity to the airport - yet taxis to and from were costly 25 euro each way - making the room cost too high. No amenities - just a small shop closing at 8. So you have to go there to sleep only which is what I wanted and slept 12 hours. Room rate should be around 60 - 80 euro
