I had a reservation for two nights and completed check-in, but the room was unbearably hot and simply not suitable for staying in. I spoke with reception, and they agreed that the temperature was a problem and mentioned they had received similar complaints from other guests. Unfortunately, the hostel was fully booked, so no alternative room was available. I had to cancel my stay and find a hotel at the last minute. Based on this experience, I would not recommend staying here.

My main complaint is how hot some of the rooms are. The windows need to open more or adequate ventilation needs to be installed because some rooms are unbearable. It can be a cool 19C outside but super hot and stuffy inside, and the large windows in some rooms have been screwed shut for some reason. Fortunately I've been able to change rooms both times I've been assigned a hot room. Also the 15 second timer on the showers is brutal especially after a long day.

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.
