DCU Rooms Glasnevin - Hostel

minimalist but sufficient if difficult to find other options when US flows down in Dublin. no hot water so showers take less time ;-)

Great opportunity during Summer when is closed. Good public transportation.

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.

Great place to stay for a night!

Friendly staff, great price, all the amenities, conveniently located, clean. Could use a new shower head, but even with that, I'd 100% stay here again and recommend others stay here too!

Nice location, friendly people, excellent amenities l.

Property is highly run down .... not suitable even for a night .... It was dirty and untidy .... would never recommend to anyone ....

Our stay here went quite smoothly, and the breakfast included was a great bonus. We’d be happy to stay again!

I stayed for 2 nights. I felt incredibly safe while staying here. I also appreciated the breakfast vouchers. Across the street was a park that was lovely to walk around. It could have been a little cleaner but overall I am very happy with my stay.

Great location, very friendly staff. Perfect for few nights. Simple but clean rooms.

It’s in a beat

It was a great stay! Very convenient with buses to go from the airport and to the city center. The price is very good and the breakfast is complete with lots of choices. The only problem was that we could hear people party outside quite loudly, so I wouldn't recommend to anyo e having trouble sleeping! Also, the mattresses were quite hard.

great place to stay,excellent public transport to city centre,good bar for food and drink at main door of residences

Well situated for the airport. Excellent bus routes into the city centre. Reasonably priced.

For the price of this hotel I will pleasently suprised. Clean room with private bathroom

Our room was compact, no blinds, no curtains at the 5ftx5ft window that overlooked a courtyard and a stairwell. We were unable to have the lights on or change in the room (this would have been classed as indecent exposure). The shower room had mold on the ceiling and tiles. We reported to reception the blinds and curtains were missing on two different occasions, 2 nights we slept without and coverage on the window. The night before we were taking an early flight reception decided to offer another room, so we moved late at night. The new room had blinds and curtains and faced a forest so no curtains needed. Least to say they declined a refund. The 2night stay cost £200+ for a mouldy shower room and room without any curtains or blinds. Needless to say they care more about money than their customers.

Lovely room and nice, clean kitchen. Staff were super friendly and helpful! Breakfast was a nice touch too. Room was extremely hot and having the window open meant that we could hear the international/summer camp kids all night who were very loud! Not the hotels fault ofc but don't expect a peaceful night's sleep lol

Very noisy in the evening and at night, some days better than others, bed was very uncomfortable, 2 single beds bolted together and no tv

When we finally got our rooms, they were clean & tidy.

Check-in at 3.00pm was extremely slow as a lot of the rooms and key cards didn't appear to be ready. There wasn't enough check-in staff on duty so a long queue formed.
