Pauline, Ireland

Large rooms, great location, easy to check in/out, soft beds (and you don't need to take the sheets, etc off in the morning :-)) and the bathroom was large and clean.

Rose, United Kingdom

I liked the privacy screen within the beds and the underbed lockers, also the location is fantastic opposite the main bus station and one of the main rail stations

Rhys, United Kingdom

I always liked this hostel. So it's my first choice when I go to Dublin... It has lift, all commodities and the space is really nice. It's close to the bus station so it's perfect fine.

Márcio, Portugal

Excellent location - easy walking distance to Temple Bar and to the 3Arena. Warm spacious room. Very friendly staff. Luckily we got a parking space right outside the front door.

Deborah, United Kingdom

Rooms were great, very modern and spacious. Staff went above and beyond for the guests and were always really friendly. Great security procedures on a night time and the perfect location.

Rosie, United Kingdom

Probably the best hostel I've stayed in. Really good rooms, beds and staff are great.

Paul, United Kingdom

The staff was very kind and helpful. Following a special request that we have sent before arrival, we received an upgrade of the room (thanks again, Fran)! We have had a 4 bed bedroom, with privative bathroom. The recently renewed bathroom was huge and very clean.

Alina, Belgium

The location was superb. The staff were nice and the room was very clean and spacious.

“Well run value for money hostel in central Dublin.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • 1 Bed in a 8-Bed Mixed Dorm
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I could have done with breakfast going on later and the arrangements for left luggage are somewhat convoluted.
눇A well run hostel, a cut above the average for Dublin in terms of facilities. A substantial continental breakfast if you've got time to do it justice. Curtains over the bunks is a nice touch. Excellent value for money and a first class location almost next door to the main bus station and tram stop and over the road from Connolly main line station. Some good bars nearby or you can walk to Temple bar for the full works. Try the Porterhouse - they brew their own beer. My session there probably had something to do with why I nearly missed breakfast! Excellent craic. O' Connell Street not far way and the shopping area beyond that are all walkable.

“5⭐️Hostel in DUB better than your expensive hotel room”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • En Suite Quadruple Room (2 Bunk Beds)
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉small and cramped elevator 😬Can't fit more than 3-4 people with luggage
눇We usually stay at the Hilton but it was last minute booking and cant get any room at the Hilton. I was skeptical about this place. Hostel? Noisy and full of smelly hippy travelers? I need hand sanitizer everywhere I touch? Bed bugs? Eww! Boy! I was so wrong!! This is a hip 5⭐️Hostel. Reception area is clean and tidy. Strong Wifi everywhere! Staff are friendly. Information brochures are visible for visitors. We took private room for family of 5. Room is spacious for a hostel. Wood flooring and their bathroom is like staying in a Hilton Hotel. Fluffy duvet and clean sheets with clean pillows. No Aircon but you don't need one. Just crack the window and you will have a cool breeze. Another big plus is, the window is controlled by a switch and not hand crank thing that you see in most old run down hostel. Breakfast is included but we didn't try because we had an early morning flight to catch. I was told it was also good. They also have a big playroom area and they offer free Irish dancing lesson on the day we checked in. Unfortunately, we had other plans that night. Free parking on the street. They also offers tours for students or travelers- check their brochures or blackboard. Short walk to grocery stores and shopping. This place is the middle of everything. I'm one happy and satisfied customer and highly recommended to everyone- students, single, couple or family. Forget Hilton, Marriott or those fancy hotel. Save your money and stay here instead. Thank you Jacobs Inn Hostel and booking.com. ❤️

“solo traveler, first time in a hostel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • 1 Bed in a 12-Bed Mixed Dorm

눉If you take the airlink bus from the airport DO NOT walk in the direction the bus is going, the hostel is around the corner in the other direction. Talbot street do not equal Talbot pl !
눇There are other hostels closer to the city center, but this one is right near the bus station. I image that makes it a better spot if you are travel to other parts of Ireland for day trips. The under bed lockers and bunk bed curtains made getting a good night rest a bit easier. I would definitely book this hostel again. Added bonus – hard boiled eggs and Nutella during breakfast.

눉The beds were on the uncomfortable side and I had trouble sleeping in them. But it's a hostel so wasn't that big of a deal.
눇Super friendly and helpful staff. 2 minute walk to the bus that goes to the airport. Close to almost everything downtown. Can easily walk everywhere. Clean rooms and nice breakfast in the morning.

눉- I ask questions before 2 days arrive, but I go the answer after I stay for 2 days! you need to keep your security paper with you if you will back after 11. This is not a bad thing but need to remember.
눇I leave in the 12-bed room. +each bed has drapes which could isolate yourself! +each bed has electric including plug and USB and light! +bathroom is in the room wich is clean! You also can find more bathroom and toilet outside the room. +breakfast included! (toast and cereal milk, coffee juice)! +friendly staff

눇Booked a private room and had 4 beds all to myself, private modern bathroom and breakfast included. Close to tram, train and buses. Area would be a bit dodgy at night but I didn't go out. They gave you a security credit to enter if late. Staff that I met were helpful and friendly, didn't get to eat the breakfast provided cause I left quite early.
