Overall experience was pretty good but as a solo traveller i didnt really end up meeting many people here as the dining area is very large and spread out. If your looking for more of your own space this is the place for you.

Lovely hostel, right beside Garda station so nice and save. Facilities are great, food and bar on premises. Only issue was it was very warm in the room at night so people opening the window and it was a little noisy with street sounds. Overall I was very happy with the stay, breakfast and price was great

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.
