Guest reviews

I’ve stayed in a few hostels in Dublin but this was my first time to stay in this one. In terms of cleanliness the room and bathroom was spotless. The sleeping pod was roomy and comfortable. The storage space was ample and had a keypad so you don’t need your own lock. I stayed on the third floor so the noise from the bar wasn’t obvious. Two things bring this hostel down for me. Firstly the check in. The member of staff told me I needed my passport despite me only travelling from another part of Ireland. I queried this as nothing in the booking information had mentioned it but she was quite insistent that my ID card was not sufficient. I showed her the info I had been sent which clearly stated government issued ID and she relented but let’s just say I got the bare minimum of information after that. Second thing that lowered my score was the shower, it works on 15second intervals. You have to repeatedly press the button which is a pain when you have a head full of shampoo. In the end I used more water than normal and my shower took forever. Would I stay here again? Probably but there are better hostel options in the city that I’d choose first.

I stayed at Jacobs Inn Dublin in 2026 for my first ever visit, and let me start with the most important thing: the rooms were spotless. Like, “mom would approve” clean. Fresh bedding, tidy bathrooms, no mystery smells — honestly top tier for a hostel. Cleanliness is my main priority when I travel, and they absolutely nailed it. Now let’s talk about reception — because WOW. The staff were fantastic day and night. Whether I needed directions, recommendations, or just reassurance that I hadn’t completely messed up my travel plans, they were friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. 10/10 humans. The social side? Elite. We had a chaotic but legendary game of Jenga that somehow turned into karaoke… which then turned into a full party night. I came for a bed, I left with a voice hoarse from singing and at least five new “best friends.” The vibe when it’s good? It’s GOOD. Now to keep it real. The bar area, unfortunately, wasn’t in the same sparkling condition as the rooms. It felt like it needed more regular cleaning and attention, especially after busy nights. The breakfast was also a bit disappointing — some of it tasted stale, like it had been waiting for a second chance at life. And then… the grand finale. On my last day, I managed to get a small electric shock from a faulty socket. Nothing dramatic, I’m still here to write this review, but definitely something that needs urgent fixing for safety reasons. Despite all that — and I know that sounds wild — I would actually return. The cleanliness of the rooms and the incredible reception staff made a huge difference. The atmosphere has so much potential, and if the bar maintenance, breakfast freshness, and that rogue socket get sorted, this place could easily be one of the best hostel stays in Dublin. Would I come back to see if the issues have been resolved? Honestly… yes. Because when this place shines, it really shines.
