Hostelworld says

Jacobs Inn is set near Connolly Station and Busaras, Dublin's main bus station, making this location convenient for travellers going to and from the rest of Ireland. This hostel has been with Hostelworld for more than a decade and guests frequently compare it favourably to a hotel. Visitors tell us the walking tour is a great way to hit the highlights of Dublin if you're only there for a short time. We like that all the rooms are ensuite and judging from the reviews it seems our guests do, too.

The environment was so neat! We sat in the bar area for a while and jammed out to the karaoke songs. The beds were cozy and clean! Eat room had a key code so it felt super safe. Would totally come back here!

Bathrooms were amazing and clean. The Pod situation for the beds is really clever and feels very private even in a room with multiple people. The only problem is parking during the day but it seems like that's an issue all over Dublin and overnight parking seems sketchy and limited, but doable on the road that the Hostel is located on. Free parking is from 7pm to 7am.

At first, I thought this hostel was great, but as my stay continued, I realized there were a few things I found not to my liking: the location is in a back alley where homeless people can gather, anyone can sit in the lobby it seems which made me uncomfortable a couple times, a gentleman entered the female only dorm I was staying in (an error on the staff’s part but concerning), and not as many gathering places as I would have liked and the ones they did have were kept separated. Overall, okay.
