It was great stay I'm vegan very less breakfast options but other than that all okay it was too hot in this time of year ( July) and only a few people got usb fans for their pods they ran out of stock but in this price point I believe the best available thing in Dublin city centre handy from all places

Overall, a really nice hostel. Located in a great area, clean and basically all you need while in Dublin. However, if you’re not someone who does well with heat, I’d recommend looking for a different place. There is no ac in the room and the pods get extremely hot. At most they only have half a window open, at least that’s how it was in my room, hence poor air circulation. They do have small fans they provide guests but unfortunately they were all taken by the time I got there so it’s not a guarantee for everyone.

The pictures online were deceiving and I didn’t see a notice that there was no AC in the rooms. We could not stay there as it was sooo hot!!! Had to leave and find a hotel down the street. The staff was friendly so nothing against them, we just couldn’t and didn’t stay so a waste of money. Had to pay additional to the hotel around the corner which was great.

The room was ridiculously warm (outside temp was only 17 degrees). The staff knew it was a problem, and no one in the rooms could sleep, yet the staff did nothing.

My advice would be to only visit during winter so you don't burn alive in the pods in summer.

The location is great, as the bus station is right at the corner, several bus stops nearby, and walkable distances to restaurants, grocery stores, and busy areas. The staff are all very helpful and polite. The pod in the female dormitory is at the right size; I really appreciate there are a handle, a hook, a small side panel, and a small, portable desk-size fan. They are sufficient for hostel stays. The bathroom inside the dorm is very clean; the shower room is also clean. Many thanks to the cleaning staff and to my roommates who helped and respected the environment.

Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy my stay at Jacob’s Inn, I arrive on the Friday quite late on and the staff were super nice, made my way to the room and it was like a furnace, the room was boiling hot and the pod itself had zero air flow and I spent all night sweating sooooo bad that my covers were drenched and I literally got no sleep, there as the smallest fan in the far corner of the 10 man room which had absolutely zero effect and the one window that did open only opened about 2/3inches. I do appreciate that there was a heat wave but it made my stay pretty unbearable as it was the the same for all 3 nights I stayed. I’ve pretty much had no sleep at all the full weekend I was there.

The facilities were pretty tired to be honest, everything worked and did the job but it was tired.

Bar was really good and lovely and the staff again were super nice.

Everything was clean and I seen a cleaner every night I was there.

Wonderful hotel, beautiful shared spaces and restaurant. Nice organized activities BUT the sleeping quarters… the sleeping « coffins » were sooooooo hot. We could only crack a small window, there was no air circulation in the room and it was really suffocating, and not all beds had a little fans. There was only one bathroom for 10 beds and the shower was overflowing. The bathroom was always dirty with water on the floor. There was another cents bathroom on our floor but not for us ladies. Also, the trash can in our room was full for 2 days and no one came to change it. On the bright side, there were two lockers per bed with codes wich was really convenient and easy to use.
If it was not for the heat in the room and the lack of showers/area to get prepared, I would choose this hostel in a heart beat.

This hostel is a bit more expensive than others in the area, but the individual pods were private and kept the noise to a minimum in the dorm, They do get hot but the hostel offers fans to use at no charge, although it takes up your only USB plug. The ladder for the top bunk was tough to use, and I almost fell a couple times. Bed is more comfortable than other hostels. There is a 13 euro buffet breakfast which looked good with lots of options, but no kitchen in the hostel, and their common space is next to the bar area and is very loud and busy. There is a chillout room which has a kettle and microwave, but it is a windowless room with a few tables. Paid laundry and luggage storage on-site. They do have bed-assigned lockers in the dorms that are electronic combination, which is convenient. The staff are hit and miss - if you are nice to them they are nice to you, but they often look worn out and frustrated. The bar downstairs was very popular in the evenings with the younger crowd singing karaoke.

Stayed over for the night due to an early morning flight and needed somewhere within a budget. It was good for what the price was! Very nice and would certainly do it again.
Staff at the desk were meh.. don’t really like to comment on people but the help wasn’t as great they seemed more laid back and wanted to enjoy music playing during the night then helping with locker and room issues but other then that it was good

There’s a bar crawl meet up in the bar downstairs nightly. I didn’t join, but my roommates really enjoyed it! Fantastic hostel! If you’re opposed to loud music I do not recommend on the weekend as they do live music in the bar downstairs.

Upon entering, great first impressions were made. The reception staff were so lovely and the restaurant/bar area was spacious and captivating. I noticed a poster for a group pub crawl which I thought was a brilliant idea (I already had plans so was unable to attend it though). The room exceeded expectations. My individual pod had more than enough room, charging station, a shelf and a hook. The bed was comfy, and there was a locker where I could securely leave my belongings. The only minor flaw I had with my whole stay, was that the pillow was too thin, they may have gave an extra if I asked so that is nothing against the hostel. I definitely intend to return and would recommend to anyone seeking a conveniently situated stay with a good atmosphere.

Felt only negatives were showers and taps which turn off water every 10 seconds. Apparently this is to save water but there’s much better ways like maybe having it turn off for a minute after 3 mins of use. It ends up being super frustrating and you can hear others in your pod and those next door banging taps every 2 seconds to get water going. Have to pay for towels taken every day.

Also there’s no pool table and the social area besides the bar is actually very small. Not super social hostel, not for younger vibe I would say.

Overall the room, pods are clean and bathroom is reasonably clean.

Note that it’s not the safest area outside of the hostel itself, walk towards direction of main city if going out. Hostel itself secure.

Very clean, helpful, friendly staff. Pods are clean and pretty comfortable. Connolly station is just around the corner. O'Connell street is a ten minute walk. Pods and entrances to any area are secured by key codes. Can't speak on the food, wanted to try actual pubs/restaurants. Reception can get busy, but they are attentive. Mix of young/older ppl. Not a youth hostel. Lockers in the room to store your stuff, you set your own code.
I'd definitely recommend if your a budget traveler.
It is a noisy area, trains/luas go past. Not good for a light sleeper.

The dorm room I was in had a lot of wasted space. One whole area had a full length mirror and nothing else which could have been put to use as a second bathroom - 10 ladies and 1 toilet is not a good design or a couple of chairs! There were 2 sinks in the bathroom which would have made more sense to have outside on the wall across from the pods as that was wide open OR used taller lockers (gym type) against the wall instead of the small ones under the bed.

Such a cool space with tons of security features. You need a code to get basically anywhere. The \"board game night\" was a lot less mediated than I thought it'd be. There were basically just a few games on a shelf and it was up to us to get anything started. Still, I met great people! Though this was my first hostel, I bet there are more social hostels out there. Not a problem though! The pod itself was roomy enough, and the two lighting options within were appreciated. The shower turning off every 15 seconds definitely discourages you from staying in there too long, but is pretty inconvenient. Overall, I would definitely return!

First good things and mostky what I look for in a hostel: The bed was ok. Bathroom clean.
Nownthe problems?
Chill out room was horrible. Smelled horrible and not clean, no paper towels/tissues, nothing.
They charge for the luggage room if you arrive early and it is a good amount so I would suggest reserving a separate luggage storage place for that.
The check in system is inefficient (yes, it is computers), when I checked in, two staff members were there and although there was a queue for the computers, they did not help which defeats the purpose of having two people at the reception. Had to wait for 15 minutes just to check in. And of course they proceeded in talking with their 'friends' thereafter.
Asked for earplugs for two nights in a row (which they mentioned will be available for free) and guess what? They were out.

Unaware that my electoral ID was not classed as valid so had to seek help from Garda Station right beside us, even the officer on duty seemed annoyed as it has my face and name on this ID.

No TV in room and areas for socialising in hostel closed too early not much of a nightlife etc which was disappointing.

Expected more food variety and places to eat inside not takeaway which we couldn't even have in the room. All drinks also banned from having in the room, otherwise it was fine as long as you don't plan to have a night in and relax.

Map at reception not worth a look at either as doesn't give much area information for close to you other than street names which was hard to read sober

A nice clean hostel, and good option for staying in Dublin. The pods were nice and the room was clean. The bathroom was very spacious. However, the water in the sinks and shower only ran for about 10-15 seconds. It made it excessively difficult to take a shower. You had to either hold the shower knob down, or press it literally every 5-10 seconds. The location of the hostel was ok, the area was a little dodgy. Definitely a lot of homeless wandering in that area. It did have very close train/tram stations. Pretty easy walk into the main parts of the city too. You also had to pay quite a bit for luggage storage on early arrival/late departure. I had to pay over 5 euros for about an hour and a half of storage. Majority of hostels I’ve stayed in have had free storage rooms. There were certainly some noisy crowds within the hostel, but thankfully my room was pretty quiet. Overall pretty solid hostel option for Dublin, definitely better than some of the others in the area.

The front staff were incredibly helpful, helping me to book tours. Shout out to the gentleman who helped me book the Sheep Dog presentation. Fantastic.

This was my first time experiencing a Hostel. The property was clean. The staff was helpful. They even emailed me that I left my eyeglasses there. The one thing that made me uncomfortable was that they chose to place me, a woman traveling alone, in a room with two men. To be fair, they were great gentlemen. The only thing that drove me crazy was the snoring. It wasn’t the actual bunk mates. It was the thought process of not putting me in a room with at least one other woman or putting a woman in the room with me.

My first experience of a hostel. The whole place was clean and tidy. Buffet breakfast was quite limited. Bread, eggs, sausages and hash browns. No bacon, black pudding or white pudding (something that Ireland appears to be famous for).
My only complaint comes with the people who were in my room. One of whom had set an alarm each morning and they either continued to sleep through it or had left their phone in the pod while they were in the toilet.
Staff were very polite and very helpful when needed.

If you visit in the summer be prepared for the heat. The windows don’t open much and it was hot in the room. They put a small table top fan in the 10 bunk room as if it did anything much. Can’t sleep with the bunk curtain closed as you’ll just burn up. Crazy to not have any sort of A/C in the rooms.

The train station and Garda stations are both across the street so there is a decent amount of noise if you aren't an early riser. Be sure to ask for earplugs.

Clean Hostel, Friendly Staff, Fun Spot

I was only in Dublin for a very brief stay, and chose the Jacobs Inn because of its proximity to public transport and multiple options for dead-of-night airport rides.

I didn’t get the chance to really interact or hang out with anyone because I was only in Dublin for ~34 hours (half of which being sleep), but the location seemed to draw a great mix of folks from all over. There was plenty of activity at the bar as well as a few events organized. I didn’t partake, but there seemed to be plenty of options at breakfast.

Staff was very friendly and made for a smooth check-in process. They were available for any questions, and the cleaning crew was on their game. While not entirely uncommon, it is important to know that towels are not included and come at a cost of €2.50 (with free replacements).

The facility itself was clean and well organized, and I found the sleep pods to be as well-appointed as a sleep pod could be (a shelf, multiple lighting options, and a couple usb-a ports. There was a locker and a cubby directly underneath my pod, power outlets nearby, and a full en-suite bathroom (with full gendered facilities down the hall).

I don’t always stay in hostels, but would absolutely give future consideration to the Jacobs Inn.

Great stay

I stayed in a mixed 10 bed pod from, all was fine, as expected.
The ensuite was an added extra not that I managed to get in there because it was always in use as expected when sharing with 9 other people. This was fine, there are shared bathrooms on each floor and they have two loos, four or five showers and sinks.
Its a great location for Dublin and the bar, chill areas were good too.

Great hostel

A bit nervous sleeping in a dorm, being not in my 20s anymore, but the pods made it very private and a great cheap option for visiting Dublin. Only downfloor to the pod was that it only had two USB-A ports. No USB-C or plug to charge your devices. However there was plugs by the lockers, but it meant your phone wasn't secure when charging. Also 1 pillow was a bit of a nightmare for me. I had zero issues though and staff were really friendly. Highly recommended hostel, even for those not in their prime anymore.
