I stayed at the DCU All Hallows Campus dorms in Dublin and had a good experience overall with no complaints. It’s about a 30-minute bus ride into the city centre, which was very manageable. The area was quiet and felt peaceful, making it a nice place to relax after a day out. Breakfast vouchers were included, and the breakfast itself was good.

Beautiful campus and clean, quiet rooms. I had only one night before an early morning flight from DUB, so selected a small room with a shared bath. The facilities were all lovely and it would have been fine, except the person in the other room arrived around midnight, banging about and talking to a friend. I asked if they could keep it down, but apparently they couldn't until after their shower around 1 am (and on a Tuesday). Not sure if a room with private bath would have been any quieter - just something to be aware of. The bus to DUB was easy to access (but you do need coins), and the neighbourhood had lots of good options for dinner.

Really great find. The property is surrounded by beautiful grounds so is really quiet. It’s only a short walk to the main road where there are regular buses into the city. The rooms have everything you need and are clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a cost effective stay in Dublin .

Nice campus, good basic accomedations

Fairly quiet basic accomedations located on a nice campus with lots of well kept grassy outdoor areas. Pretty good basic cafeteria style breakfast included. Because of our early flight we arrived before check in but we had lots of common areas inside and out to spend some time, and they stored our luggage. Close to bus routes that will get you to the airport or to the city centre in 15-20 minutes. Multiple grocery stores, small cafes, takeaway restaurants, and pubs nearby. Staff were helpful in answering our questions. Room was on the small side but comfortable and clean. Shared bathroom was clean, well maintained, stocked with shampoo & hand soap, and had a heated towel rack. A nice alternative to staying in the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Honestly this is a great place for the price. It’s a solo dorm style room because they are just that, dorms. The only 4 star for me is the air conditioning, there is none. However, that’s most of Europe for you, especially old institutions such as this. Additionally, I had an issue loosing access to my card one night and security were some lovely gents and helped me out, went above and beyond.

I would prefer to have a discount on the nightly rate than breakfast vouchers which I can't use. I consider 8 am quite late in the morning for working people.

Basic but expensive

I know Dublin hotels are ridiculously expensive at the moment, but the price for what you get here is mad. It was the cheapest place we could find not too far from the airport but it was still €25 in a taxi. It is basic student accommodation, with the addition of a kettle. You have to pay a €10 deposit to borrow a hairdryer from reception. Place was clean but the shower curtain didn’t go around the whole shower so the whole bathroom floor got soaked

Don't expect what you read on their website

The website said there was a bar/lounge /restaurant and a TV in the room NONE of these were even an option let alone have a choice. This was just a room with ensuite facilities. OK for 1 night stays but not for 4 nights as I had booked expecting at least a television in the room. Cleanliness was ok but I had a dirty cup left on my table for all of my stay after having a coffee on day 1 and the bathroom toiletries were not replenished throughout my stay. There was a 'canteen' for breakfast which in fairness had a reasonable selection of both hot and cold food, however trying to find this the first day was almost impossible with little or no signposts/directions. Had to ask for an Iron multiple times before finally getting one within a minute or 2 so why that couldn't have happened first time I don't know.

I enjoyed the stay, the breakfast was fantastic, it could not have been any better. The single room was clean but shower and WC were down the corridor and very basic bordering on unsuitable. The historic backdrop was amazing and it was very easy to get into town on the bus or bike, this made it easy to tolerate the shower and WC facilities. I was sad to leave, that has to say a lot for it. I would definitely stay again for the historic value, breakfast, price and ease of getting into Dublin.

Beautiful grounds, splendid building but tiny room

The grounds and buildings that greet you at DCU All Hallows’ are impressive. It’s like stepping back in time. Service at reception was friendly and the breakfast both plentiful and tasty. We booked a double room with shared bathroom - the room was tiny and the bed barely a double which made for a slightly cramped stay and not particularly good nights sleep. Next time I would definitely ask for a larger room.

The guy on reception was amazing and helpful. The room at first had a shared bathroom and you couldn’t swing a cat in it, so we asked to be moved and he did he was great. The second room was bigger and we had our own bathroom but there was paint coming off the skirting boards and we was directly opposite the door to that floor and could constantly hear the door slam and people talking outside our room. We did not have our room cleaned on the following day and as we got back late it was to late for them to do this

The stay of two halves!

It was a stay of two halves. The first room we stayed in we wouldn’t recommend. On arrival we were given keys to The O’Donnell building, which didn’t work, with timings I had to leave to pick up my sister so the keys were swapped but we’re not tried until we returned. When we returned, we were very disappointed by the rooms. They were not like the pictures in the booking information. They were basic, no en-suite, no towels, the toilet and showers were down the corridor, with lock entry. Plus there were several flights of stairs and my sister had a broken back. The room had the feel of a quasi carehome/cell. With poor fittings, or veneer finishings, eg new wardrobe doors on very dated fittings. It wasn’t a pleasant night. We were able to speak to the receptionist in the morning who after seeing the booking details, moved us to the main building drumcondra house which was exactly as the pictures on booking.com and had en-suite, towels etc. So the second half the of the stay was absolutely fine. We weren’t expecting 5* and were really happy with the rest of stay and it is great value for money. The campus is set in beautiful grounds, car parking is included and it’s an easy 5min walk to high street with a great Thai restaurant if you don’t want to head back into Dublin. The included breakfast is served in a beautiful garden atrium room. It has everything eg fry up, which are perfectly adequate but not the best quality ingredients. It’s great value when your in the right room!

The building was interesting, the room was ckean and the breakfast was excellent. But the lift was broken, and it was difficult hauling our cases to our 3rd floor room,and then climbing those 77 steps several times a day. When it had been repaired, no one told us, so we never did get to use it.
The key system, cards in electric slots, was defective. We had to replace our cards a few times, and other people did too. We had to leave the (shared) bathroom door ajar so we could get into it in the middle of the night.
The people on the desk were always friendly, and apologetic for these deficiencies, but they couldn't do anything about it.
