Although not central to the city, it was well serviced by bus, very clean, friendly, and very accommodating. The beds seemed to be quite old and were not very comfortable. |

Basic room but clean. It is cheap but it is not exactly near the centre. If you want to go out until late you will need a taxi. |

I would say this accommodation is suitable for backpackers or those on a budget. The facilities were there - bed, shower, towels but it is furnished to a minimum. clean. Typical student accom i guess. The room was painted breezeblock and smelled of stale cigarettes. It was also quite far from the city centre. It did suit my purpose but if i could redo the trip i would have paid a little extra and stayed elsewhere to make myself more comfortable...my student days are definately behind me!! |

Price Students partying under my window (Friday night). Carpet wet outside of BR door, probably from shower overflow, slight odor in room from wet carpet. |

Good order and system, no foreign people running around, we liked the system with the dooropeningcard. No problems with noise. Sorry that we were not allowed to dring any spiritus. The restaurant was closed. No cookingmateriel ore anything in the kitchen (we knew that before booking, but hoped there was just a little bit) |

Value for money. Good internet access in my room. Desk and chair. Use of refrigerator, electric jug. Helpful staff [although I found I had to prod a bit to get answers [some of which were on a brochure in the room but my first room did not have that brochure].And when I asked, paper plates. It is further in time from the city and the airport than stated. A bus to town takes minimum 20 minutes. A bus to the airport at least as long. The information about airport buses also does not seem complete. For example I saw 3 buses marked "airport" pass the college but the staff told me I had to walk at least 10 minutes to catch the bus. Also bus 104 occasionally passes the college. If staff provided the timetable that might be able to be made use of. The swimming pool price is ludicrous. Euro 10. Sure you have access to the pool for the day but most people would only want to swim some laps and then go. Euro 2 per hour and they would have got Euro 2 instead of Euro 0 from me. |

Well-connected to city centre, e.g., Bus 13/13a (but only after you know/learn their very remote address and how to reach DCU Accommodation on the Campus, which is not very accessible and no clear signs on the street/near bus station). Relatively cheap simple en-suite rooms. NO TV, breakfast or Internet access. Hot water not always available. Be prepared for a cold shower sometimes. No wired Internet in rooms unlike what is advertised. Bought a LAN cable (they can also hire you one for 5 Euros) but the socket in my room was dead; no connection. No room WiFi either. Room not cleaned on second night. 'How to find the hotel/walking directions from bus stop' not clear on booking.com site or DCU site. Google Map directions provided by booking.com very misleading; put you one block away where nobody knows anything about DCU accommodation. |

It is only available for students not for family and others. Room facilities (bed, tv, wardrobe, refrigerator etc.) can be improved. |

The room was small but comfortable, functional and clean. Good value for the money. The staff were very helpfull It is actually quite hard to get from the airport to hotel by public transport, especially when carrying heavy bags. The bus service was infrequent. The spa looked great but was closed from 6pm until 10am so no opportunity to use this facility |

Clean, very friendly staff, many bus connections to Dublin city centre (and a night bus connection in the weekend!), excellent kitchen facilities with cosy sofa sitting area (ask for utensils like plates and stuff at reception!), supermarket on the campus (though of course closed on Sundays and festive days), free internet access (max 15 min as there is only one computer) the swimming pool and sauna close way too early in the weekend (17:30h) |

I liked the facilities and space in the room, internet access, the attention was good, the park in front of the campus, the kitchen and the atmoshpehere. The cleaning was not good, the kitchen was not fully equipped. The transport at nicht is not so easy nor cheap. |

Too far from the airport to be a viable budget option when you figure in taxi costs of €17 each way. |

International atmosphere,Organization of the whole college very impressive, activities going on in the campus very interesting indeed to see and give an idea of how much there is to do in Dublin city and at the DCU University.Nice to see a mix of generations in campus. Coffee shop is very expensive for a campus. While breakfast was excellent, service at the self-service buffet was rather slow. Perhaps this could be organized in a better way? But food excellent esp.choice of fresh fruit salad. |

We loved having an apartment with a comfortable living area, our own normal-sized bathroom and a kitchenette. The included breakfast was wonderful. |

It was quite comfortable, parking facilities, a lot of space. Sport activities. The entrence price of the swimming pool is too expensive ( 10 Euro ).The breakfast starts late (8a.m) for people like me who has to leave the campus before 8.I could not use the voucheers that I bought for breakfast . I was not remboursed neither. I keep them as a souvenir. |

A bus stop at walking distance with a connection to the city center every five minutes. Well priced hotel with just all what we needed, a bed and a bathroom. |
