The most private hostel bed I've ever had, you have a little nook with a curtain by your feet. Great people and great activities, staff was nice too. The only downsides: location is only a 4/5 compared to other hostels in Dublin as you have to walk 15min to the city centre, and the pods get really warm - i wouldn't go here in summer. otherwise perfect!

Was a decent place to stay, stayed during the week so it was a third what is cost on the weekend. Not very social from my experience. The pods are nice and roomy, the top bunk wasn’t horrible nice wide ladder to get up. A tad far from some things but there is a tram station close.

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.
