What guests think
At DCU Glasnevin, guests describe simple, student-style rooms with generally good value, friendly staff, and easy bus links to the city and airport, while campus nightlife, hard beds, and occasional issues like missing TVs or minor faults can affect comfort.
The campus setting is outside the center, and some guests felt safe walking in the area. Breakfast is frequently praised, with cafeteria vouchers noted, though on-site evening choices are limited and some found the breakfast logistics unclear. Expect a basic, value-focused stay on a lively university campus.

We stayed for a few nights and found it was lovely and big campus. We weren't told where to have breakfast and we got lost trying to find it, then we didn't get told what we could eat in terms of our coupons and we didn't get to eat the following two days after paying for it. The room was standard but good enough for staying in for sleeping, the sink was leaking, the tap was cracked and we got soaked in the rain and the radiator didn't even turn on. Was not happy but least we got them dry the old fashioned way. The nubar club was nice and cheap for food, the sharer we had was delicious and the pizza. Overall a pleasant enough stay

It's ok. But due to mach was quite expensive. Evening time not possible to buy anything like water or so. Not any drink or food machines. The whole city seems to stuck in the 90s of last century. Vistors bus card only to buy physically in special shop only.

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

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.

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.

It was €75 per night so it was fine for what it is - a student apartment. I was on the ground floor beside the building entrance so a lot of young people congregated at night and they could be a bit loud. I wish that security came around a bit more. But overall it was fine - you get what you pay for. Excellent breakfast.

Stayed 3 nights
We stayed for a few nights and found it was lovely and big campus. We weren't told where to have breakfast and we got lost trying to find it, then we didn't get told what we could eat in terms of our coupons and we didn't get to eat the following two days after paying for it. The room was standard but good enough for staying in for sleeping, the sink was leaking, the tap was cracked and we got soaked in the rain and the radiator didn't even turn on. Was not happy but least we got them dry the old fashioned way. The nubar club was nice and cheap for food, the sharer we had was delicious and the pizza. Overall a pleasant enough stay

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.

Limited food options in the evening. Good transport links into Dublin centre. Would certainly stay at DCU Glasnevin again.

It was €75 per night so it was fine for what it is - a student apartment. I was on the ground floor beside the building entrance so a lot of young people congregated at night and they could be a bit loud. I wish that security came around a bit more. But overall it was fine - you get what you pay for. Excellent breakfast.

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!
