Hotels near Dublin City University in Dublin

The hotel has a good location, very close to the city center. There are three dissatisfactions: First, I booked a double bed, but it turned out to be two single beds pushed together, which was not as good as a double bed room. Second, the room is too small. You have to walk sideways and there is no place to put your suitcase. The bathroom is smaller and bumpy. Such a small room is only suitable for one person, but it is charged as a double. Third, there is nowhere to hang the washed clothes. There is no wardrobe, only a clothes hook to hang coats and hats. All in all, it was an uncomfortable stay and not worth the price of 1,000 yuan a night.

Lovely budget hotel about 20 mins walk from Temple Bar area. Upon arrival nothing was too much and a warm welcome from Diana , giving us a coffee as we had come in on an early morning flight. Rooms were clean and basic. Comfortable bed , lovely clean shower room with powerful shower. A bit tight for room but it was only a base to get our heads down and change. There is a vending machine for morning coffee … easy walk into town… just follow the tram tracks , and easy for the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery. Excellent value for money if you’re going to be spending most of your time away from the hotel , but comfortable enough to unwind for a few hours too.

This hotel is incredible and I’m so happy I took a chance and made a reservation despite that I wasn’t sure as it was my first time visiting Dublin. The hospitality, the facilities and the location right in the heart of the city was PERFECT! They even help me schedule my tours and coordinate everything! My birthday was a Wednesday and the reception team sent me a sweet note, a box of chocolates and tickets for complementary drinks. This detail I will forever remember it and a special thank you to Dylan and Karen for showing up to my room and surprise me on my bday. Hope everyone can get to experience what I did this week. Thank you, Thank you Thank you!!! Going back home feeling happy, blessed and in love with this beautiful country. I will be back for sure 🇮🇪 Take care, Carla from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

We stayed at the Beckett Locke in July 2023. After having a bad experience with another hotel we decided to book and check in at 10:30pm and as soon as we arrived we felt like we were home. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment which had so much space! The bed was comfortable and the block out curtains were great and we both slept so well. Having a washer dryer machine in the room was an extra bonus. Would highly recommend staying at any of the Locke accomodation (we’ve also stayed at a Locke in a London which was equally good!)

The front desk was also kind and polite. I needed to print my Ryanair flight ticket, so I asked them to print it for me, and they were happy to do so. The room also had a bathtub and was clean. There was no toothbrush as an amenity, so it seems better to bring it when staying.

Point A Hotel, what can I say. Well presented inside and out, the access to bedrooms locked behind a key card, the bar and breakfast area also immaculate. As you enter your bedroom it is well organised and has everything you need. The bed was a firm mattress but that was perfect, a surprised samsung 43” TV was waiting to be watched from the wall. With LED strip lights and mode lights all around the room and a decent air con to go with. The room had a safe but i never needed to use it. The one LED strip light on the curtain track was losing its stick and i had to reattach it everytime the curtains where opened. Speaking of which the arrangement I felt was weird as it typically goes curtain than net curtain from inside looking out, this hotel went net curtain then curtain. Maybe you do get some rooms with a view, i most certainly did not, considering how close it is to the heart of the city and Temple Bar. My window view consisted of an opposite rooms window and exterior build walls and a steep drop down below. If you are looking for a well presented hotel with decent sleep quality, this hotel is for you, if you are on your own this hotel may not be for you, due to its lack of hot meals at breakfast and throughout the day. For a hotel at £180 a night, you could easily get a hotel with a hot food breakfast and evening meals nearby, the price structure like the rest of Dublin is overpriced for what it is, one of the cheaper priced hotels but still not worth the price. The breakfast was ”okay” you had a selection of 2 cheeses, 3 sandwich meats, 3-5 pastry options like pain au chocolat, croissants, scones, sausage rolls and mini bread rolls / baguettes. Was some cereal options too, a choice between orange juice, apple juice and ice water, then your usual hot drinks choice. It was all fresh and well presented, i just wish it had a cooked option too. In terms of location, ignoring the building opposite that was a form whiskey shop. It was great, right around the corner from O'connell Street, where it was incredibly busy, multiple shopping centre esque buildings along each side street, with id say 10 minutes you can be in Temple Bar area on the South Side of the River by foot. With such easy access to trams, buses, taxis near enough on your doorstep, and the far enough away from Temple Bar to not hear it, but close enough to go there was ideal. In quiet traffic from the airport you can make it in 15minutes. So to summarise, it was a good, but overpriced

I stayed for four nights with my teenage daughter on a mother-daughter trip. Got a great rate booking a few months in advance, and I am so impressed with the value received for the price. We were given a room with two beds on the top floor facing the courtyard- it was quiet and comfortable. I brought earplugs after reading some reviews about noise, but we didn’t need them. The bathroom was updated and the shower was great- hot and nice pressure. The beds were a little “creaky” but comfortable, and the linens were cozy. The hotel staff were helpful, the restaurant was good for breakfast (although we chose to eat elsewhere most mornings) and Darkey Kelly’s pub on the first floor had great food and music. The location is fantastic- we were able to walk pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. I really can’t find a single fault with this hotel for the price. Would definitely stay again.

This is a decent hotel by Irish standards but still has all the usual pitfalls of hotels in Ireland. We arrive at 3:30 to be told room isn’t ready and checkin isn’t until 4pm in any case. Annoying but no biggie. We got a family room which was quite spacious with a great view of the golf course and coast. Bathroom wasn’t great - shower not v good. Pillows big and hard. Food at the hotel the usual fare of big hearty portions of the standard offerings ie fish n chips, burgers, Caesar salads etc. That’s ok after a game of golf but when on holidays for a few weeks, I crave menus with something light and inventive. The staff were all helpful and polite. The hotel is definitely the best option in the locality

We had booked a private room with a double bed. The staff is very friendly, really not noisy for a hostel (at least our floor on the 10th). New with USB sockets integrated into the sockets, towels and shower gel/shampoo provided in our room with light detector in the bathroom. The bedding is honest but that of a hostel.... but clean! Elevator and breakfast room. For the price compared to others it's a very good place for a few nights in the heart of the city.

Stay city aparthotels are clean, comfortable, & practical! The waterfall shower and convenience of having a kitchen were highlights. I was staying with a large group of college students on a class trip which is just inherently kind of annoying but we were treated just like any other customer. Demi, Kayla, & Vicky were so helpful!
