Jacobs Inn Hostel, Dublin

The beds were extremely comfortable and private. They had nice lighting and outlets. The rooms were organized well and I felt like my stuff was safe, especially with the locks.

My room had a private bathroom which was nice but late at night I wanted to use the communal bathroom / showers and it had a weird smell and hair everywhere.

Everything was fine for a hostel - clean enough & comfortable enough

Machine issues delayed checking in

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was very good, you could go everywhere you needed by foot. Rooms were cleaned daily. You have nice options for food and entertainment in the lobby and a rooftop where you can hang out.

The USB ports in my bed did not work and there were no regular plugs by the bed. So i had to charge my devices during the day in the room or somewhere else. Also there were traces of mold on the ceiling of the bathroom.

Good staff, well-equiped bar and cafe-restaurant, location very near Connolly Dart station.

I rated this hostel 8 mostly because I did not like the pod beds. If these do not bother you, it deserves a 9. Also, the hostel did not have not male and female bathrooms on every floor. The female washrooms were on the first, the male on the second, so I you were a female on the second floor or a male on the first, one had to go a long way if the bathroom was occupied.

I was a bit worried about staying in a dorm as an older traveller, but it was very quiet and clean and the pods are quite private too

It would be great if there was a kitchen area or even just a kettle where you could make a cup of tea or coffee before the bar opens

Very convenient and comfortable. Beds were in privacy pods and there were free lockers to use during the stay and paid (cheap) luggage storage even after I checked out.

Clean and had a nice bar

Beds a bit narrow

Location, price

Its a good clean hostel, it's in a quiet area. But a few minutes walk to the town centre. It has a nice bar. I also like the extra privacy you get with a pod style bed - nobody can see you sleeping

The location was perfect, so close to everything I needed. Pubs was next door and a few more nearby, supermarkets were just around the corner and transportation was not a problem. Some bus stops weren't very clear but you can just ask around. The accommodation itself was clean and comfortable, although the plumbing was rather noisy when you used the water taps, bin was far too small for 10 pods in one room.

Just noisy plumbing and small waste bin, everything else is good.

Young vibe. Feels safe. Great people.

Excellent place! Worth it. Good place and enough privacity for a hostal. Also great people in there

I reserved for my first days and was planning to stay at Dublin for a long time, so I had a big suitcase and didn't had enough space for my stuff at the rooms. If you are traveling light this is a great option for you!

The accommodation offers excellent value for money and is situated in a favourable location. The beds are comfortable and maintain a suitable temperature. The cleaning staff are helpful and attentive, while the reception team are welcoming and professional. Having previously enjoyed a brief stay here, I returned for a longer visit and am pleased to confirm that I continue to have a positive experience, making this an ideal choice for extended stays.

The bathroom extractor fans need a clean.

Lively atmosphere in the lobby, clean beds and rooms, free ear buds too (for noise cancellation at night), large lockers and friendly staff. Very near to city center and red line tram.

Some smokers outside the rooms.

I was a bit hesitant about the location because of some comments, but there’s nothing weird about it. The police station is right behind the hostel! The hostel is huge, and the common areas are really nice!

No one explained to me at reception that the code changes every Monday or where I could find the women’s bathroom. It’s not a big deal, but those small things really help people feel welcome.

Very nice place thats why i Always come Here.

The hospitality is Always good

I loved the pod concept! It was super comfortable! The bar and lounge areas were also great!

The location did feel a little bit sketchy, especially at night

Absolutely lovely staff ,very clean, safe ,enjoyable . Fabulous breakfast and even bands playing in the bar . Very chill friendly hostel you will feel cared for . The best place Dublin can offer . The staff need to be applauded .

I have no negatives at all .

The hostel was amazing, cheap and have a nice atmosphere One of a best in Dublin

No shared kitchen

the pods are good, the interior is well thought out.

the lockers to store your luggage are every expensive (3-4 euros p/hour + 1 euro for each extra hour). The woman's dorms are always more expensive than the general dorms. I would never stay in a general dorm again (which I did a week earlier), drunk, smelling, loud men are to be expected because many people come to Dublin to party. Also, in the woman's dorm's shower (as opposed to the general dorms), the water only runs for 15 seks, so you have to press the button a lot to get a proper shower. I did not like the breakfast.

the beds

If there was a small kitchen area, with a microwave or something similar

Location

Small lift.

It’s handiness to where i needed to be

Its location is not in Dublins best area but groups of people would be fine; the solo traveler less so

The pods/rooms were clean. The staff was great. Bar was fun.

It would be nice to keep the smoking patio open to avoid having to stand out in the alley way late at night.

Cheap, good breakfast

10 people in the room

There nothing that stands out.

The shower is push button stay on 5 seconds not good. I would'nt advise buying breakfast i felt it was very poor quailty for €13 euro. The hot food has been cooked and left to stand to long everything was cold. The fried eggs are the worst i've seen. I say nothing is cooked fresh. Very disapointing.

Great location in Dublin, pretty social, easy to meet people! The beds are comfortable and private.

It was a little hard to share one bathroom with 10 people. Also a little frustrating you have to pay for luggage storage (I’ve never had a hostel charge for this before) and towels.

There were a lot of rooms and we all fit in a couple rooms. They allowed children as well.

That you had to pay for towels and games in the common area (like playing pool)

Location and mixed room system and especially three pub crawl we did

Smeel of the room and I woke up because of the staff they were cleaning while we sleeping didn't like that at all especially when they were shouting

Location was great. Pretty easy to get around town starting at Jacobs inn. The pods are an awesome setup. Lots of intimacy.

They advertise the luggage room without saying that it cost 5€ +1/hour after a little bit of time. Was still useful to drop of bagages but I would've liked to know

Location, karaoke and breakfast

Guests who eat inside room, bang doors, leave food trash over tables

Location proximity to town

It is in a slightly rough area and some areas would out you on edge travelling!

The in-house bar was a very nice, especially when the live music was on ( Tuesday and Wednesday night). The rooms for the 10 beds were very spacious and the bathrooms were very good.

My only complaint about the facilities was the showers, which were similar to the showers in gyms or pools. Definitely not a deal breaker, more just an annoyance the anything

The location is good, close to everything. The breakfast is great. The room was clean.

Constant noise coming from some ventilation system in front of the window. Could be quite annoying without earplugs.

Great location in the centre of Dublin. Sleeping there feels very nice since the beds are made in a "pod" style so it gives a lot of privacy. There are also lockers where you can put your things in that have an automatic lock. Great place for solo travellers.

Toilet and reception

Nothing

The pods are very comfortable and private. Cleaning was also great

They charge you for almost everything, towels, keeping luggage after check-out...

The location was perfect.

Not all rooms have en suites.

This was my second time there and I will be staying again every time I have to come to dublin. Its a really great hostel in very convenient location. Pods are ideal for privacy and rest. Affordable dinner options and train station are very near. I am a wheelchair user and it works for me really well. However public footpath between the hostel and train station is a bit tricky to navigate (as many walkways in Ireland) and no hostel's fault. There is very limited parking near the hostel.

The bar has great offering but the pricepoint is a little bit too high.

Nice place, would stay here again

Some things should be in better condition, like the locker-door

Close to the centre. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean.

The staff member who did my check in was too busy chatting away with some guy, without acknowledging my presence or talking to me while checking me in. I felt like I was bothering him.

The bathroom was spacious and had 2 sinks so more people could use it at once.

The in-house bar was very nice, especially with the daily activities, such as on Wednesday night when they had karaoke.

I found the showers quite annoying with there 15sec stop, like a gym shower, but definitely not a major issue

Excellent location, excellent facilities

Not entirely a huge fan of code-dependent everything but that's a me thing so can't fault them on that!

Cozy place to stay at

Sheets had some stains and hair in them

Location is good being near the tram stop and bus stops, and it’s not in Temple bar so it isn’t as disruptive late at night. The bar downstairs is excellent, there was some great live music. And the pub crawl offered through the hostel is great.

The shared bathrooms can be a little crowded at times

The vibe, the cleaning, the quietness

The 15 seconds shower. This is awful, come on

Good privacy Comfy bed Nice common spaces

Terrible value for money Only 1 bathroom for 10/12 beds

For a hostel, the room had 10 beds, but each bed was equipped with a curtain, which ensured a good level of privacy even with other people in the room.

This hostel had a nice and cozy vibe. The dorms were really nice.

My locker in the room didn’t work properly. Also the luggage storage in the lobby was not free.
