It was very secure. There was an individual bathroom (shower/toilet/sink/vanity) in the dorm as well as a larger communal washroom on the same floor. They offered tours and discounts to guests as well.

Great location, friendly staff, comfy bed (not claustrophobic-feeling at all!), clean facilities, overall great experience!

Everything was great. New, very clean, private female bath in female dorm room, location (Bursas(?) bus station right around corner), restaurant adjacent when “orange alert” storm hit Dublin.

Thanh

United States of America

It was super duper comfy, I think I slept better in there then in my own bed at home. The beds also have a curtain which gives extra privacy while also protecting from people turning on lights while you sleep

Stayed in the bed cubbies with curtains which were great; a 10-bed room. Plenty of space in the room and love the mini cubbies for shoes!!! Room had a private bathroom with shower and there is a light that shows in the room so you know when it’s occupied. AND, there was a bank of women’s showers and toilets on the floor so I never had to wait for either! Lobby was a comfortable area to sit/eat. Bus station and location of Airlink Express bus drop off and pick up are both within a 3-minute walk!

-pillows too flat -can be a bit noisy when someone is singing or drinking downstairs but it’s not at a popular bar street so still acceptable -a bit hot once you draw your curtain -needa press the water button every few seconds during shower it’s acceptable for me as long as the water is hot enough
I stayed in 10 pods women dorm for 5 nights -Location, can easily walk to the opposite river side(trinity college, temple bar) and The Spire, also super near the tram station, have supermarkets nearby -Spacious, got lots of space to open my big luggage in room -very modern design as a whole -with lift -privacy is high -although there’s only one toilet inside the room, there’s a shared one just outside my room -staffs are all nice and willing to help

Like always the facilities are really clean, and we can see that the staffs is acting to keep it that way. Everyone is always so smiling and friendly. Although I think measure needs to be taking for people that leave the common showers and toilets in miserable ways (common lady shower rooms on the 1st floor).
Not my first time staying at Jacobs inns. I really like the new menu, and that you guys added the Irish breakfast, for the morning and all day.

Well.. we had a renovated twin room and the heating did not work first. Friendly reception fixed it but still it too long time to heat up. At night heating was off and turned on super loud and hot at 6AM. Off again during the day.. The fan in the bathroom was also quite noisy and broken so it was not turning off. Bathroom no heating in January freaking cold! Again reception was friendly but said nothing can be done... even though it’s a hostel I expect some solution? A free drink, different room, any gesture counts. Being cold for 2 days wasn’t quite nice :/

Jess and Ella can’t be from this world. They are too nice, too thoughtful, too incredible! Jess is the sweetest in Ireland and made me feel so special during my stay, always making sure everything is fine! And if wasn’t for Ella I wouldn’t have one of the most incredible experience of my life because my card didn’t worked so Ella provided hers to book their amazing tour to Galway, The Burren and Cliffs! Highlight to the doorman, whose name unfortunately I don’t know, for being extremely nice, smiley and attentive. To Vlad and the night shifter Igor for being attentive and for ensuring that we are having the best staying possible. The pods were AMAZING and beds super comfy! Beautiful terrace and overall facilities! Extremely easy to connect and meet and make new friends. This place has beaten 4 stars hotels from personal experience and I will definitely be back because I felt in home there!

Get super annoyed by the other men who stay in other pods. They were extremely loud and two of the man opened up my curtain in the midnight. No hairdryer provided bathroom, no plug near the mirror which is very inconvenient. I’ve been to quite a few of pods stay in different country and this is the worst I can say.
They fulfilled my request for getting the bottom row
