Lock in a great price for Jacobs Inn Hostel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The general layout of the Hostel and it central location. It looks more like a hotel than what can often be the normal set up of a hostel. I choose the location because of its close proximity to Connolly train / Dart station. It is one minute from the station. The helpfulness of the staff stands out.

Pat, Ireland

The staff was superfriendly and security ist very important in this facility. You did get a guest pass, which had to be shown in the evenings before you could go upstairs and to your room. The free walking tour is a definite must-do!

Sven, Austria

There was a mix-up with our reservation and when I brought it up with the staff they were quick to fix it which was great. The location is pretty central and easy to access the airport.

Hr, Canada

Very secure and helpful staff. Very close to everything.

Amanda, Canada

Really relaxed atmosphere and perfect for a weekend in Dublin with friends, very welcoming staff too when we arrived. Will definitely stay here again!

Angela, Ireland

The cleanliness of the place was exceptional and thatbis important.

Gerry, United Kingdom

Staff were very helpful and friendly, clean rooms, blackout curtains on each bunk, with sockets/USB plugs and individual lights, large storage units under bunks for personal belongings to be stored safe. Clean bedding. Couldn't fault it. Would stay again. Right next to the main bus station, and s 5-10 minute walk to the Main Street. Amazing Thai restaurant right outside the hostel too!

Laura, United Kingdom

Location of the property is amazing, very close to public transport and the city centre can easily be reached on foot.

Jimme, Netherlands

It was close to everything that we needed. Nice friendly bunch. Price was good and experience was great

Chrisl88, Ireland

It had great staff, humorous, creative and yet took us seriously. They were friendly with my two sons too, so that put them at ease. The place is modern in a great location, where you can walk 10 minutes to city centre. There was a great mix of young people and families from all over the world. The lounges and eating areas were modern, clean and comfortable. They provided for cooking and putting your food in a commons kitchen. The breakfast was great for those who got up early and good for those who just made it in time. They encouraged us to go on the free tour and we were impressed with the pro- Irish, cheeky rants of our tour guide. The desk people recommended pizza from around the corner and it was delicious.

“Overnight Stay in Jacobs Inn Hostel.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • En Suite Quadruple Room (2 Bunk Beds)
- • Stayed 1 night
눇I have stayed in many youth hostels in Europe and further afield but never any as clean as this!!! We had a 4 bed ensuite room at a very reasonable price (£117 per night) , especially for the location. Our room had 2 sets of bunkbeds which were very clean with fresh white bedding. Under the bunks there were 4 wire cages for the occupants to place their belongings. These could be padlocked for extra safety. The bathroom consisted of a shower, toilet and wash hand basin, again spotless. Towels and a hairdryer were provided. There was also a free safe in the room which was big enough to hold passports, Ipads etc...The staff were unbelievably friendly and extremely helpful! You cannot park at the hostel but they will provide you with a reduced price voucher for a Q Park-this cost £12.50 for 24 hours which is excellent value for central Dublin. Breakfast was included but we did not avail of this. Apparently it consists of cereal, tea and toast. As we were travelling with our children we were anxious about safety and cleanliness, however some hotels aren't as secure or clean as this hostel!! We would highly recommend it and will stay here if we return to Dublin!!

“Loved it, and so did my family. A great way to end our 15 day adventure trip to explore our roots.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • En Suite Quadruple Room (2 Bunk Beds)
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Under the beds are big cages that hold peoples stuff, a great idea but noisy if your neighbours come in late. They didn't enforce smoking away from the front door, so at times the lounge would be very smoky from cigarettes.
눇It had great staff, humorous, creative and yet took us seriously. They were friendly with my two sons too, so that put them at ease. The place is modern in a great location, where you can walk 10 minutes to city centre. There was a great mix of young people and families from all over the world. The lounges and eating areas were modern, clean and comfortable. They provided for cooking and putting your food in a commons kitchen. The breakfast was great for those who got up early and good for those who just made it in time.

“Would Stay Again”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • 1 Bed in a 12-Bed Mixed Dorm
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Pillow was flat. Shower is one of those that you push and it runs for like 10 seconds, then you got to push it again. Not a deal breaker--just annoying.
눇Wifi was good. Each room had a bathroom/shower attached to it. Each bed has their own personal curtain with light/plugs for electronics. Clean--can definitely smell when they clean in the morning. Laundry on site. Offer pub crawls. If your flight is late at night/early morning--they offer an airport shuttle for you.
