Jacobs Inn Hostel, Dublin

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.

Nice common areas, good location, easy access. Beds are comfortable.

On my last night, there was a couple arguing in my room, next to my bed. The guy woke up twice during the night screaming and banging the side of my bed. I emailed reception as I was too scared to leave my bed. In their reply they said they sent someone to the room during the night but it was quiet then so they couldn’t do anything. So I guess they did what they could. This last night affected my overall stay and that is why I’m giving lower rates. + bathroom in the room was quite dirty

Good location, comfortable rooms, good amenities.

Would’ve liked a common kitchen area perhaps water dispenser, microwave and hot water.

The capsule is much better than a typical bunk. Capsule system provides privacy and comfort.

In my opinión 70 euros I have paid per night IS expensive for that. Even looking at the hight cost of the accommodation in Dublin, unafordable for much people. But in general is a good opction and I know in other days It IS cheaper

It’s safe since you have your own pod, and it’s not noisy.

The lockers don’t really lock your things anyone can put a new code twice and open your lockers.

pods privacy clean

no kitchen

i enjoyed the decorations, it was a quick and easy check in and you had your own little pod with curtain which was great

simply just it being a little far out

Storage room was quite expensive

The security and cleanliness were phenomenal. I also loved having a large area to hang out and relax or grab a drink without going down to a pub was wonderful. Staff were always helpful and kind as well!

Prices were a little expensive, but that was totally understandable given the high quality of the place and the amenities that were provided.

Booked a double room, loved the comfort of the bedding, pillows and bed. As for the bathroom the big rain showerhead was put to full use blasting away the Dublin hangovers, lovely big towels and good quality toiletries to use, particularly liked the body wash. Great big window so it was very nice arriving all wearing then chilling on my bed basking in the sunset, makes for a very bright room- in a good way! Good quality radiator. All things mentioned were of 4* quality, maybe not the mattress but yeah, great job for a hostel private as they can be horrendous value for money with awful amenities

Lack of a keycard, having to enter every door by putting a pin into keypads that were absolutely woeful, very frustrating,especially with a desperate need for the toilet. Selection of snacks and drink in reception could be a bit better but it's hardly a complaint, just think there's room for improvement. The area doesn't feel the safest I'll be honest, didn't concern me in the slightest but may do if you're female.

Neat and clean comfortable at good location

The lady on the reception is looking good but actually very rude unprofesional and i reached hotel by 12.45 she said check in time is 3.30 so you have to wait how come i took a flat and then airport to hostel and then she told me to wait more 3 hours then after 5 min she left and i ask the guy who replaced her he alot me a room straight away when i reached the room all bed was clean and available always first experison is last the manage ment should ask her about this behaviour

Clean and good vibes

Lack of facilities - like access to a fridge and quiet working space

Great location!

Great hostel right in the city centre

The lobby, chill area and bar was a lovely calming feel.

Cleaners were in early, changing beds etc. it would be ideal to start that after check out at 11am as there was already disturbances from others staying in the hostel.

The staff were very kind and always willing to help. The hostel is in a great location, close to many bus stations and stores. There are regular events at the bar, which makes it easy to meet other guests. Everything is clean, and breakfast is available every morning.

I didn’t like that it wasn’t possible to rebook within the same month after staying for 10 days. Also, on some days when there are events, the music from the bar can be quite loud in the rooms, although it fortunately stops at 11 pm.

At 9h00 the cleaning ladies came into the common room and started cleaning the other pods, which was a bit unpolite and invasive even, without previous mention.

excellent

They got different events every in the bar

No kitchen and no fridge

Clean, comfortable and safe

Was all excellent

The vibe and I watched a life band

Checking out

You get what you pay for. Keeping that in mind, I thought this place was excellent. I stayed in a capsule dorm. Clean rooms and bathrooms, comfortable and clean beds, good wifi, nice common area and decent breakfast. Great location very close to city centre.

Considering the price - nothing.

Clean and friendly and warm

Great location, big lockers for storage, comfy beds and curtains for privacy.

The receptionist were kinda rude and not helpful - they basically didn't share any information about check out, breakfast, activities etc. The wifi was also a bit slow.

Breakfast was great, staff very friendly. Nice atmosphere.

Rooms were too hot in the evenings because the hearing was in full blast and we couldn't turn it off. Had to open windows whichnoet it lots of noise from outside - our window overlooked the back of the police station (which we thought was quite numerous and didn't mind this so much), and a train track…so that disturbed us a bit.

8/10 quiet at night

No kitchen to bring and cook your own food

Clean and chilled place. Staff lovely. Stayed for 1 night in a female only dorm it wasn’t full but other ladies seemed respectful of noise. Took earplugs which helped. Breakfast good value for money. Would recommend.

Stayed 12 bed dorm with pods. Comfortable bed. 2 light options. Charging point.. Privacy curtains, shelf, towel rail, and clothes bracket... Security locker and spacious showers room in dorm... Nice ambiance spacious reception area.. Chilled our bar... Touch key pad to access all area..

Buffet breakfast overpriced, especially hot food which was limited to 3 products with fried eggs and sausages overcooked...

It's close to the city. Rooms are clean.

No towels, unfortunately

location = great cleanliness = great the sleep pods were amazing. they provided privacy & comfortably. i like how they had assigned hooks in the room that went with your bed number too.

facilities = NO kitchen (only a microwave) staff = fine but not really seeming like they wanted to be there / help out

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Everything is excellent

The guesthouse has a relatively good location, close to public transportation, with plenty of shops around. The staff is well organized, and the room is spacious and comfortable.

The Wi-Fi signal was very poor in the other room and barely worked.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The location was quite close to the city center. Breakfast could be purchased for a reasonable price and the bar was also very nice, offering a wide range of drinks and a few snacks. Overall, a very good place for a fair price.

Our room was facing a very busy street and was close to railways. As trains passed by quite often until very late at night it was very hard to fall asleep. The walls are extremely thin - we could hear our neighbors as well as people passing by our room so it was often noisy. This place also lacks security - you get a piece of paper which includes your room number, code for the security door as well as code for your own room - basically a paper that includes all necessary information for someone to rob your room may you lose this paper.

Was a good experience.will come again.

All good

Great location. Very reasonable price for a couple of nights away. I was lucky to have quiet dormmates as well! Breakfast was well worth it for the price as well.

It was a nice lively place.

My bed wasn’t cleared and done up for the second night.

I like the chill areas and staff always ready to help. Breakfast is very good.

Maybe missing some kitchen appliances on the chilling area

The location is excellent, the bed is comfortable, and each bed has its own locker, which is very convenient for storing personal belongings. The bathrooms are reasonably clean — you can’t expect perfect cleanliness in a shared room with ten people. The staff is very kind and helpful. Overall, it’s a very good place for a short stay: well located, right next to the Garda station, and also very close to the Dublin Express pickup point.

The place is mostly frequented by young people, so you can’t expect complete silence. Guests are coming and going at all times, which creates a certain level of noise. That said, it’s nothing that completely takes away from the experience — you just need to be aware of this before booking.

Everything

Only allowed stay 10 nights

It was clean, the staff was helpful, and the breakfast was quite good.

The beds were too small, especially the length of them.

The lack of a kitchen for guests use to prepare food

Good vibes and friendly staff

That there no kitchen available to be used by guests to cook their own food,

Very neat

The team is very inclusive and caring and will guide you with things to do around Dublin. Lot of activities are recommended by the front desk, Wi-Fi is great and check in and check out is seamless and smooth.

This is not the best neighbourhood so might be a little stretchy for a solo female traveller if you scare easily enough. My uber driver described the neighbourhood as interesting with lot of drinks, homeless and addicts on the street adding to the intrigue of the neighbourhood.

All was well. Staff were great. Professional and receptive to needs based requests

Nothing

Location is in the centre and really walkable. Everythings clean, pods have enough privacy. Love the bar under.

Luggage storage could be cheaper.
