This hostel was great! Quiet, clean, and safe. The bunks are similar to Japanese sleeping pods. It's a box, completely closed off with a curtain at the end. There was a sick person in the room and I was confident I would not get sick with how blocked off it was from the other beds. The bed was comfy, I slept well. The hostel was easy to find. Look for the giant white building (can't miss it) on the river Lifey, down the street to the right, through the park, and near the bus/train station.

Overall very solid hostel. My only complaints are that the showers were on a 15 second timer. I know this is to conserve water but 15 seconds is a little short especially when it was really like 5 in actuality. Also the plugs on the bed did not work so I had to charge my phone in the center of the room. But the pods were nice. Everything was clean. Staff was lovely

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.
