Why we recommend it
Jacobs Inn is a hostel on Talbot Place in Dublin 1, now operated by the Latroupe group as Latroupe Jacobs Inn. It offers a mix of private rooms and dormitories at budget prices in a central location north of the Liffey, and it suits backpackers, students and anyone keen to keep accommodation costs low.
Rooms cover a range of needs. Private rooms sleep two people and have their own bathroom, which makes them a good option for couples or friends who want privacy without paying hotel prices. Dorms come in several sizes, from small rooms with four or six beds to medium dorms with eight beds and larger dorms with ten or twelve, all with a shared en-suite bathroom. Bed linen is included, and towels can be rented in the dorms for a small charge.
The hostel has a bar that opens every day and a terrace with city views, which are good places to meet other travellers. Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 11:00. Reception is open 24 hours, Wi-Fi is free, and there is luggage storage and a laundry service, which helps if you are travelling for a long period. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00, so use the luggage storage if you arrive early or leave late.
Jacobs Inn suits solo travellers, groups of friends and younger visitors who want a sociable atmosphere. Light sleepers should consider a private room or a smaller dorm. Bring your own towel to save on rental, and a padlock is useful for securing belongings in a dorm. If you are travelling as a group, booking a whole dorm can be a good way to stay together.
The location is convenient for arrivals and departures. Talbot Place is in the north inner city, a short walk from O'Connell Street and the Liffey, and guests note that the hostel is close to the tram route. From here you can walk to Temple Bar, Trinity College and the main shopping streets in around 15 minutes. For enquiries and bookings, call +353 1 855 5660 or email [email protected].
If you plan to stay for a week or more, ask at reception about the laundry service and keep valuables in your bag or a locker.
