The location was great, I loved the friendly service even checking in at 1:30am. The luggage storage options were great and secure and all the staff was friendly. I was surprised my how clean the beds and bathrooms were as well.

Nicole United States of America

location and the modern feel are f the whole place. the bar/dining area is awesome. we were lucky enough to be there on Tuesday night and got to hear the live music. I hate to give such praise because I want this to be a hidden Jen that no one else will find and be my secret. true ply a place to pick in the center of town and near the rail stations and metro lines.

Christopher United States of America

Great location, near public transit, nice staff, clean rooms

Kimberly United States of America

For a hostel - definitely best and most private experience in a hostel possible in Dublin, and very good location. Feels very safe, great lockers, plugs, lights, access levels and pods and facilities for a hostel traveller.

Moniek Netherlands

Own pod and locker to store your belongings safely.

Steven United States of America

I really enjoyed the accessibility of the location, the cleanliness, the ease of check-in and luggage storage spaces. I liked the big cafe/bar and a place to hang out before going up to our rooms if we were coming back late from the bars. It was really beautiful and I appreciated the security!

Daria United States of America

Fantastic hostel and staff! Can't say enough good things.

Jeseka United States of America

Very nice ! Jacobs Inn was our first night in Dublin and it was a great place to drop our bags and hit the town. The aesthetic/design of the space was very well done and everyone was friendly :)

Megan Canada

Very lovely hostel, with super accommodating staff and good atmosphere. Even though I booked very last minute and they were still able to place us in the same room, which was an unexpectedly positive experience. The rooms were really big and the pod beds offer you good privacy too! Easy to check-in and check-out and they have a luggage storage facility too! The bar area is also nice, breakfast is great value. Would definitely recommend and come back here.
