Jacobs Inn Hostel, Dublin

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.

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

Location Location Location

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.
