DCU ROOMS GLASNEVIN - CAMPUS ACCOMMODATION, Dublin

The campus is situated in a quiet, leafy area next to a large public park. Buses are frequent (every 20 minutes) and provide easy, cheap access to the city centre (20-30 minutes) and to Dublin Airport (direct bus 19, or bus + taxi). Taxis to the airport cost around €20-€25; to the city centre around €20-€30. A number of restaurants and shops are within a 1 km walk, including Macari's, Le Petit Cafe, and Eddie Rockets. The Slipper pub is just outside the main entrance.

Rooms are set in apartment-style blocks, with 2-7 rooms sharing a lounge and kitchenette (stove, microwave, toaster, fridge-freezer, kettle, tea/coffee). The rooms themselves are basic and functional: a bed, wardrobe, desk, safe, and private bathroom. Some double rooms are two single beds pushed together. Bed sizes can be narrow (single or small double). There is no TV or tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Noise can be an issue, particularly from student groups in the courtyards and from external events - rooms facing away from common areas are quieter. The building has lifts and ground-floor rooms are available on request. The accommodation is suitable for tourists, families, and groups, but is most suited to those needing a clean, safe, budget-friendly base.

Breakfast is provided by a campus restaurant a 3-15 minute walk from the rooms. The voucher (worth €10.35) covers a set number of hot items (one per type, up to five total) plus a hot drink, cereal, toast, and fruit. The restaurant offers a full Irish breakfast, continental options, and a vegetarian/lactose-free choice. The on-site bar and restaurant serves pizza, pasta, and pub food at student-friendly prices, and is open until midnight (Mon-Fri). There is also a snack bar and vending machines on campus. A minimarket is available for self-catering supplies.

The DCU campus grounds include outdoor furniture, a garden, and a picnic area, as well as a children's playground and a tennis court (additional charge). A swimming pool and gym exist on campus but are operated separately; day passes cost approximately €25 per person. The surrounding parkland offers walking and jogging routes. The on-site bar has pool tables. The location is close to the Botanic Gardens and Glasnevin Cemetery.

Wi-Fi is free in all areas, though signal strength can be variable in rooms. Daily housekeeping is provided free of charge. Luggage storage is free, allowing you to drop bags before check-in or after check-out. Laundry services are available for an additional charge, and there is a launderette on site. The property offers express check-in/out, a safety deposit box, and 24-hour security with CCTV. Meeting/banquet facilities and fax/photocopying are available. The reception can assist with taxi bookings and printing. A minimarket is on campus for essentials.
