Jacobs Inn Hostel, Dublin

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.

• Fantastic central location : near O’Connell Street, the bustling heart of Dublin city centre. Everything is super walkable: shops, restaurants, pubs,and major sights are just minutes away. • The airport bus stop is within easy walking distance :made getting to/from the airport hassle free! • The entire place is very clean and well-equipped overall. • Each bed comes with : plug/power outlet, shelf, reading light • Beds feel spacious, not cramped at all, with good privacy (curtains/pods make a big difference). • Personal lockers : easily fit carry-on suitcases or large backpacks. • For such a prime spot in the city centre, the price is an absolute bargain. incredible value for money!

At first, I noticed some noise: people walking/talking in the hallway, doors opening/closing, and a bit of street noise from outside. It bothered me a little but I got used to it and it didn’t affect my sleep.

4pax dorm had own Bathroom and Shower Excellent value @last Even hostels in Dublin have had extortionate prices this past 3 years.

Surrounding Area quite run down

The location was great, there were many stores and cafés nearby. The bar/hangout space was really nice, and I sat there a lot. The pod was very comfortable, and had enough space. Also, it was good that there was a light indicating if the bathroom was occupied. The other questes in my room made my trip, I met many amazing people. <3 Overall my experi

I am used to other countries, so maybe this was a culture shock, but I think the customer service could've been better: everyone was quite friendly, but there was not always someone available, and they did not greet you when you got in or say thank you in the reception or in the bar. The breakfast was decent, but not worth the 12€. The items could be covered somehow, so that cheese, hummus and bread would not dry out and warm up so much. I was not happy with the cleanliness of the bathrooms: there were no hand towels, there was dust on the floor, and the shower drain got clogged multiple times. I faced some inconveniences: the pod could use an additional shelf in my opinion. There were not many outlets to charge your phone/laptop downstairs, which would be nice since many people are working and hanging out in there.

The location was good and the pods in the shared rooms are good for privacy and comfort.

In the shared rooms there is only one bathroom, the wait was too long so I just used the shared womens bathroom

the location and the staff when I realized I left my data socket, I contacted the property and the reaction from staff was quick and they found it and kept it for me to come back to take it 6 hours later of my stay!

hygienic

clean warm

no kitchen!

The breakfast was not included But the location was really good, the staff, the cleaning

The room was cold and bed was not soft

Nice hostel in a great location.

Staff were lovely

the showers turned off every 30 seconds which was annoying

Great location, clean pods, and the bathroom being inside shared rooms was great. The fact that they have a live band and bar is a nice plus.

The luggage storage was expensive as it charges a euro for every extra hour. The live music was quite loud and wasn't to my taste.

Interior design is nice, love the restaurant area.

Long stairs to the rooms and many doors to go through. Rooms only have one toilet for 12 people, which may create inconvenience when sharing. Chillout room is difficult to find and lack basic amenities (e.g. water source) and too dark.

Convenient location for those traveling. Tram and bus stops are nearby. The train and bus stations are also nearby.

Great location.

Location and cost

Staff wasn’t friendliest people also extra charge for bag storage and basic items like towels

Very comfortable pods. Plenty of space downstairs to hang out.

No kitchen, just a microwave in a room but nothing else.

Modern and clean

The capsules were great, much quieter than your normal bunkbed

Charging to keep your bag there before you check in is disgraceful. Never had that in hundreds of stays elsewhere. Should just have a safe room like everywhere else

It's what you would expect from shared rooms. It was okay, the price was just

Very central location. The bar downstairs was nice and the sleeping pods were comfy and private. Lockers were roomy and everything was clean. Very good value for money.

The rooms were a bit small, but you probably won't spend much time there anyways. Only kettle and microwave so you will be eating out alot.

Rooms were excellent

Breakfast could have done with bacon and beans

Great location in the center of Dublin, comfortable rooms with big beds, and easy-to-use lockers. A lot of choice for breakfast, a great deal for the price.

There were no chairs in the room; it would be convenient to have some. No hairdryer in the room, need to ask in the reception and leave a passport as a deposit. Towels for an additional price.

Great location, every important thing is close to the hostel.

The only complain is my roommates didn't speak proper English but that's the least you can worry about :)

Staff and location and facilities were awesome

People that were in my room. From 6 people during night, anytime one was awake and come and go.. alots of noise and I didn't have good sleep at all. Mostly drunk people came during night with alots of noises.

Cleanness Comfort Private bathroom within the room. I tried a couple of hostels in Dublin, but this is my go-to for females who prefer the females only dorms. Very quiet and comfortable, amenities within the room. Restaurant & chill out area.. Luggage storage even if you checked out.. I book whenever I have early stuff to do in Dublin, so I spend the night there & carry on with my stuff on the next morning..

Staff very friendly, super clean room , good facilities in the lobby , good price ,

The location was excellent for city centre but a little nervous walking outside towards centre a lot of people hanging about , but good Garda presence

Beautiful and clean

Bathrooms were always busy

Staff were helpful especially Massimiliano who made arrangements to improve my accommodation. The location was good and safe. The room was comfy so the bed. I slept well and the guests I shared it with were polite and respectful too. Outside there's a tram connecting you with the airport coach as well as the main attractions.

You have to consider it seriously if you're capable of sleeping and putting up inside the bed pots. It's like a tomb niche. I couldn't so I was offered a different type of bunk bed less claustrophobic. I don't like the fact of you having to check in/out online and refused to do so. I want people working and keeping their jobs instead!

Good quality hostal

Quite expensive for an hostal Not the best location

privacy. window in room. Lovely staff who are all very nice and helpful. STAFF EXCELLENT :)

shower water turns off within 3 seconds. No soup or shampoo in showroom. Lowe bunks request in advance comes with an additional fee. Rooms could be cleaner and bathroom. No coffee machine in reception.

Location and nice staff

Box bef very small

Customer service

Room size

I have been staying here for the last couple visits to Dublin because I really like ot. It is close to O'Connell street where you can get buses or trams anywhere. The pods are quite cosy with independent light and usb-a and USBC plugs to charge your devices. Entry to the room is done via codes so you don't have to carry keys around with you. In the 10 pod room where I stayed there is a bathroom with shower, on the same floor there is also a shower room with three more showers. I was doing my own thing since I have been to Dublin before but they help people organise morning walking tours and pub crawls in the evening which is quite cool. Lots of great places to eat around as well.

Nothing to not like just be aware Dublin is not a cheap destination.

modern look, close to train station and with pay car park nearby, city center within walking distance

Staff attitude tends to be cold when checking in, even I had done the online check already, they still referred me to the self-check-in iPad without clear instructions. They tend to let you figure yourself out instead of helping out when seeing guests struggle with checking in or figuring the app out. Lift hidden in a deep corridor, which is not very easily accessible, considering the scale of the property, one guest lift is insufficient. This is that kind of new hostel without any key or card but ask you to use your phone all the time to access all the doors and rooms. As a solo backpacker, I find it can be quite challenging if you lose your phone or run out of battery.

Location is good. 5 minutes walking to late night airport transport bus. Good option if you are going to catch early morning flight. Dublin is not a big city, almost all the tourist points is in walking distance.

No kitchen.

The location was wholesome. Just in the centre of city, bus station was hardly 1 min by walk, and all the food places were within 10 min walking distance. The pods were comfortable. Shower was warm. They have Live Music in evenings after 8pm, but I couldn’t attend that as i was on my business trip. Overall good experience. Recommended.

The charging spots were not working inside pods. There was only one mobile charging spot in the entire 4 pod room. They should keep hair dryer in room as all hotels/hostel does.

cleaning was perfect

location and space

Good vibe , close to city centre and train station

Nil

The hostel was easy to find and a perfect base for a city trip in Dublin; everything was within walking distance. The neighborhood didn't feel unsafe to me. The staff were always friendly and happy to answer all my questions. The cleaning staff were also friendly. The cabins in the bedroom offered a lot of privacy. They weren't very long, but since I'm short, they were sufficient for me. It's true that the cabins get very warm (been there in november!), but with short pajamas, it wasn't a problem. The safe offered plenty of space and was easy to use. The bathroom was clean, but that of course also depends on the other guests in the room.

Breakfast was fine. The only thing I personally missed was baked beans.

The price

It was incredibly hot to the point that it ruined the whole experience. If the heat gets fixed it's a really good place. It's just to hot to sleep properly

The property is very conveniently located for walking and public transportation. I felt safe walking back even at night. The pods were very cozy! (like some other people mentioned it can get hot in there!) Everyone in the room was super respectful. I’ve never stayed in a quieter hostel room. It was a very mature atmosphere both in the room and the coworking style common area.

The shower in the dorm with the en-suite was pretty frustrating. The water runs for less than ten seconds with each push of the button, (Hack: lean back on it to keep it depressed while rinsing your hair.)
