訪訪客Hostels around the world need to take note of what a real hostel is — and that's Jacobs Inn Hostel in Dublin. Located in the center of Dublin and easy to locate, you're greeted with friendly, warm staff who can help you with anything you need. Advice on landmarks, restaurants, events, they have an answer. The commons area is packed full of people working, socializing or just simply relaxing. Music is not too loud so communicating and working is made easy. It's very atmospheric and it's a great place to make new friends on your travels. It's amazing decorated and their bar/dining area is incredible. Breakfast is served and you're offered a good variety to choose from. The rooms, or pods, are clean, well-maintained and the bathrooms are neat. You're afforded privacy in a modern fashion.
訪訪客We arrived to check in at agreed time and had to wait 2.5 hours for our room. We weren't the only ones. The day after our arrival the same thing happened, a lobby full of disgruntled guests waiting for their rooms. As a consequence we missed the first thing we had planned for our stay in Dublin because we couldn't get in to our room to get showered and changed. The room was very clean and comfortable but unfortunately one of the double mattresses had a dip in it and was uncomfortable unless we used pillows to make it level. We were in Dublin to celebrate my 50th birthday and my ftiend had arranged for a bottle of fizz to be on the room on arrival. This had been forgotten in the rush of getting rooms ready and my friend had to remond them. She had paid for this online but the hotel tried to charge her for this again on departure. The hotel brasserie was bright and attractive and the Irish liqueur coffees were wonderful. The hotel is fabulously located and has so much potential. It just isn't OK at the moment. Hopefully this will improve. Having said all of this - I would give the hotel another chance if I returned to Dublin. We all have our off days.
訪訪客I stayed in a 4 bed mixed dormitory. Beds were very clean, and there waa enough space to store my travel belongings. There was no noise from other rooms, and the shower and toilet inside the room was clean and functional too. 15 to 20 minute walk to Temple Bar, another 10 minute from Temple Bar to Trinity Collegr. Had no problem walking from the accomodation to other points of interests in Dublin. Overall, a great value for travellers. Tip: Do reserve breakfast. The bread is warm if you go in the opening hour, and you can eat enough to last for both breakfast AND lunch while walking all day. Save the lunch budget for better dinner.
訪訪客Lovely budget hotel about 20 mins walk from Temple Bar area. Upon arrival nothing was too much and a warm welcome from Diana , giving us a coffee as we had come in on an early morning flight. Rooms were clean and basic. Comfortable bed , lovely clean shower room with powerful shower. A bit tight for room but it was only a base to get our heads down and change. There is a vending machine for morning coffee … easy walk into town… just follow the tram tracks , and easy for the Guinness Storehouse and Jameson Distillery. Excellent value for money if you’re going to be spending most of your time away from the hotel , but comfortable enough to unwind for a few hours too.
