DCU Rooms

I needed an overnight stay before catching a flight the following morning. All the airport hotels were ridiculously expensive (170+ euros) and then I found this option to stay at DCU for about 75 euros. Managed to get the bus from the airport to DCU which cost 2.70 euros [NOTE they only take cash on the bus and they do not give change, luckily I had 8 euros in change to cover my bus fare to DCU and back to the airport the following morning] Bus stop was right outside DCU when getting dropped off. Note the bus stop for pickup when going to the airport on the other side of the road + a small walk away. There is a bus stop directly across from the DCU entrance but this is drop-off only. You also have to flag the bus down to stop otherwise it will just drive past you !! Had received good instructions via email telling me where to find the accommodation reception, so found it no bother. Staff were great at checking me in and giving a map of the campus to get to the accommodation block. Room was basic (it's a student dorm so I expected this) but it was clean and provided a bed/bedding and towels for the shower/bathroom. I was also able to pop in a use the campus bar to get a drink. All in all, it served my purpose really well in that I had a bed for the night and a shower for the morning at a reasonable price. Would certainly use again.

Clean and simple. Could've used one more pillow. And better bus info to get there from the airport. Breakfast good as well

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.

Great place to stay for a night!
