Jacobs Inn Hostel

21-28 Talbot Place

Description

HostelCulture says

This is another long running Dublin hostel and it knows how to be a really good hostel. It's quiet big and as such offers an extensive range of room types, private and dorms, and all are spacious and ensuite - which is particularly rare in hostels in Dublin. The self-catering kitchen is large, very functional and sociable, common areas are comfortable and their outdoor common area on the upper-floor offers a nice setting to chill out and absorb the city from above with fellow travellers when the Irish weather behaves itself. It's very convenient for airport connections too. We recommend!

“Excellent hostel but a walk to attractions”

Rating: 5 Reviewed on August 04, 2025

An excellent hostel. A few mins walk to Connolly station, although 15-20mins walk from a lot of central Dublin attractions, so if that’s important you may want to stay closer to the action. Pods...

“Great pods, terrible air flow”

Stayed here a few years ago and really enjoyed the place as it gave a great balance between privacy with the pods, social/events, and an alternative to Dublin’s fairly spendy hotel options...

“Very helpful staff!”

Helped out when it was late at night and I missed the last bus home by less than a minute. I slept comfortably. I had not stayed in a hostel since like 19 years ago and was surprised that it looked...
