Latroupe Jacobs Inn

I’ve stayed in a few hostels in Dublin but this was my first time to stay in this one. In terms of cleanliness the room and bathroom was spotless. The sleeping pod was roomy and comfortable. The storage space was ample and had a keypad so you don’t need your own lock. I stayed on the third floor so the noise from the bar wasn’t obvious. Two things bring this hostel down for me. Firstly the check in. The member of staff told me I needed my passport despite me only travelling from another part of Ireland. I queried this as nothing in the booking information had mentioned it but she was quite insistent that my ID card was not sufficient. I showed her the info I had been sent which clearly stated government issued ID and she relented but let’s just say I got the bare minimum of information after that. Second thing that lowered my score was the shower, it works on 15second intervals. You have to repeatedly press the button which is a pain when you have a head full of shampoo. In the end I used more water than normal and my shower took forever. Would I stay here again? Probably but there are better hostel options in the city that I’d choose first.

I stayed at Jacobs Inn Dublin in 2026 for my first ever visit, and let me start with the most important thing: the rooms were spotless. Like, “mom would approve” clean. Fresh bedding, tidy bathrooms, no mystery smells — honestly top tier for a hostel. Cleanliness is my main priority when I travel, and they absolutely nailed it. Now let’s talk about reception — because WOW. The staff were fantastic day and night. Whether I needed directions, recommendations, or just reassurance that I hadn’t completely messed up my travel plans, they were friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. 10/10 humans. The social side? Elite. We had a chaotic but legendary game of Jenga that somehow turned into karaoke… which then turned into a full party night. I came for a bed, I left with a voice hoarse from singing and at least five new “best friends.” The vibe when it’s good? It’s GOOD. Now to keep it real. The bar area, unfortunately, wasn’t in the same sparkling condition as the rooms. It felt like it needed more regular cleaning and attention, especially after busy nights. The breakfast was also a bit disappointing — some of it tasted stale, like it had been waiting for a second chance at life. And then… the grand finale. On my last day, I managed to get a small electric shock from a faulty socket. Nothing dramatic, I’m still here to write this review, but definitely something that needs urgent fixing for safety reasons. Despite all that — and I know that sounds wild — I would actually return. The cleanliness of the rooms and the incredible reception staff made a huge difference. The atmosphere has so much potential, and if the bar maintenance, breakfast freshness, and that rogue socket get sorted, this place could easily be one of the best hostel stays in Dublin. Would I come back to see if the issues have been resolved? Honestly… yes. Because when this place shines, it really shines.

地理位置

淋浴，花洒拿不下来，不方便。

Availability and location - I was badly stuck at short notice. It is budget accommodation, and provided everything I needed.

The dorms aren't for the claustrophobic.

Safety

Do conforto dos quartos, do atendimento dos funcionários e da localização.

Podia ter o check-out mais tardio.

Es un lugar limpio, seguro y bien ubicado. Las cápsulas son cómodas, los lockers amplios.

El desayuno que ofrecen no me parece que valga la pena.

Great location!

Zajebiste miejsce. Bywam tam bardzo często i nigdy mnie nie zawiedli.

Struttura spettacolare! Tutti gentilissimi!

L'atenció del personal, el bar i els espais comuns, la situació, la caixa forta...

Un bany per massa gent i a vegades es monten cues.

A good place at fair price to spend the night

Wonderful bed. Very near train station as I needed.

Poor breakfast.

The staff were so accommodating with everything I had asked

Great hostel right in the city centre

The lounge area

Broken shower

😘😘

The charging port at the bed 🛌 space was not working

Super nice hostel. I would definitely stay again! super comfy beds and clean with usb charging portes even inside our pods and had a bathroom inside the room as well. had lockers with personalised codes for our stuff that could easily feel a 10kg hand laguge and a big bag pack (choose the 10 female dorms room). Super friendly staff and the bar area with its magical music jams at night was really great. Breakfast was also worth it. I felt completely safe and it was my first time staying in a hostel. it had paid lockers after your checkout to leave your stuff there if needed as well. I recommend it!

It would be nice if possible, with ok of course an extra cost, to use the fridge if needed for a product or two of small size. I asked to put some sealed cheese on the fridge and they declined it ( I did it this summer in Paris in a hotel, they just marked my name on the product and i took it the next day and that's why I thought it would be possible) a small stool in the room would have been handy as it may be helpful to sit down to pack your stuff more easily.

Nice and straightforward, good location

The lobby, chill area and bar was a lovely calming feel.

Cleaners were in early, changing beds etc. it would be ideal to start that after check out at 11am as there was already disturbances from others staying in the hostel.

The staff were very kind and always willing to help. The hostel is in a great location, close to many bus stations and stores. There are regular events at the bar, which makes it easy to meet other guests. Everything is clean, and breakfast is available every morning.

I didn’t like that it wasn’t possible to rebook within the same month after staying for 10 days. Also, on some days when there are events, the music from the bar can be quite loud in the rooms, although it fortunately stops at 11 pm.

emplacement super, proche des transports et à 15 minutes de marche du quartier Temple. Il y a presque toujours du monde dans les espaces communs et plusieurs activités sont proposées le soir.

excellent

At 9h00 the cleaning ladies came into the common room and started cleaning the other pods, which was a bit unpolite and invasive even, without previous mention.

Le petit déjeuner n'est pas incroyable, l'auberge fait aussi bar et organise des soirées mais attention, si vous voulez dormir je vous conseille de bon bouchons d'oreilles, on entend la musique très fort... La chambre n'était pas parfaitement propre, les lockers fonctionnaient mal et payer aussi cher pour une telle auberge de jeunesse ne vaut pas le coup.

The place, people, was very clean

The location

Sb stole my headphones Not possible to even step outside to order a coffee, very bad for travelling alone

Las camas comodisimas . Las duchas muy bien . La sala común muy linda . El personal muy amable . Dormí mejor que en mi casa 😂😂

No había leído que no tiene cocina . Me sorprendió . Igual hay un microondas y para mi corta estadía fue suficiente 🙌🏻🙌🏻

price

the staff was extremly uninviting, unwelcoming and rude, nobody was interested in informing me about the hostel (I was not told about breakfast options for example, those girls were more interested in scrolling their phones) nor the city (and I hadn't planned my trip). I even got an undecipherable room code and had to go down again to inquire. The lounge was extremely noisy (noise could be heard in the room), the "quiet" room was EXTREMELY stinky. The worst was the temperature. It is January, WINTER and the heating did NOT work, I was going all the time downstairs to inquire, one girl said they would turn it on at 8pm, then at 9 pm, then at 10 pm. It was freezing and you could not dry your clothes as it was raining outside constantly. Even if the heating was eventually turned on at night, it was not for the whole night and it was still cold, I was sleeping in three layers. No possibility to stay in the room during the day at all. The worst hostel experience EVER and the reviews had been so good. So misleading!

Muy bien

Tenía abierto las ventanas por la noche, las había cerrado y luego estaban abierto, por tema de de frío, pero no sé si fueron las otras que estaban

Breakfast was great, staff very friendly. Nice atmosphere.

Rooms were too hot in the evenings because the hearing was in full blast and we couldn't turn it off. Had to open windows whichnoet it lots of noise from outside - our window overlooked the back of the police station (which we thought was quite numerous and didn't mind this so much), and a train track…so that disturbed us a bit.

Nice and well organised place

Nothing, the hostel is super good

The location is super! Walking distance to city centre.

The property could be a bit more clean, hallway upstairs is narrow and stuffy.

Great location, big lockers for storage, comfy beds and curtains for privacy.

The receptionist were kinda rude and not helpful - they basically didn't share any information about check out, breakfast, activities etc. The wifi was also a bit slow.

Clean and chilled place. Staff lovely. Stayed for 1 night in a female only dorm it wasn’t full but other ladies seemed respectful of noise. Took earplugs which helped. Breakfast good value for money. Would recommend.

8/10 quiet at night

No kitchen to bring and cook your own food

Είναι σε πάρα πολύ καλή τοποθεσία τα λεωφορεία Είναι κοντά. Εξυπηρέτηση πάρα πολύ καλή πάρα πολύ ασφαλείς σούπερ μάρκετ πιτσαρίες και άλλα επίσης είναι δίπλα το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα για νεαρά άτομα ζεστό νερό για μπάνιο με αφρόλουτρο και σαμπουάν στην ντουζιέρα το μπαρ στο ισόγειο είναι πολύ ωραίο.....!!!!

Είναι δύσκολο το να βγεις από το κρεβάτι όταν είσαι κάποιας ηλικίας και το 1 μπάνιο για 10 άτομα κάποιες φορές είναι κάπως δύσκολο.

Stayed 12 bed dorm with pods. Comfortable bed. 2 light options. Charging point.. Privacy curtains, shelf, towel rail, and clothes bracket... Security locker and spacious showers room in dorm... Nice ambiance spacious reception area.. Chilled our bar... Touch key pad to access all area..

Buffet breakfast overpriced, especially hot food which was limited to 3 products with fried eggs and sausages overcooked...

Personale poco professionale e servizio deludente. Al check-in ho ricevuto indicazioni poco precise e mi è stato persino consigliato di andare a cenare in una zona poco raccomandabile. Inoltre, non mi è stato spiegato che per rientrare la sera fosse necessario utilizzare un codice di accesso. Di conseguenza, una sera rientrando tardi ho dovuto bussare più volte; il ragazzo che mi ha accolta, invece di verificare la mia prenotazione, ha insistito nel voler vedere la card cartacea con i codici della stanza, creando una situazione inutile e spiacevole. La receptionist italiana bionda si è dimostrata approssimativa e per nulla preparata: non sapeva nemmeno se, per una camera singola regolarmente prenotata, fossero previste pulizia giornaliera e cambio biancheria. A seguito di un errore commesso da un’altra collega, invece di scusarsi mi è stato risposto testualmente: “sei ancora in tempo a trovare una soluzione per i fatti tuoi”. La posizione della struttura non è sicura: a pochissimi passi dall’ingresso sono stata molestata prima da un ragazzo visibilmente sotto l’effetto di droghe e successivamente da due persone in evidente stato di ebbrezza. Colazione provata una sola volta: c’è un po’ di tutto, ma nulla che giustifichi il prezzo di 13 €. Impossibile pagare in contanti: a quanto riferito, la proprietà non accetta banconote da 100 €. All’arrivo la stanza era fredda perché le finestre erano state lasciate aperte. Letti scomodi e prese elettriche insufficienti (inesistenti in bagno); ho dovuto richiedere due adattatori, nessun armadio! Infine, episodio molto grave: trattengono i documenti d'identità, il passaporto ( l'unico documento che avevo) è stato trattenuto fino al check-out come garanzia per gli adattatori elettrici. Ho dovuto chiedere esplicitamente il permesso per riaverlo per pochi minuti, esclusivamente per poter effettuare il check-in del mio volo. Esperienza complessivamente negativa, non all’altezza delle aspettative né del prezzo pagato.

Every thing perfect

I didn’t have any problem

Le personnel est à l'écoute et très sérieux Ambiance de l'établissement génial

Beaucoup de va et vient dans les couloirs la nuit, portes qui s'ouvrent et qui se ferment. L'isolation phonique des chambres peut être à améliorer.

It's close to the city. Rooms are clean.

Ljubazno osoblje, svakodnevni sadržaji ...

osobno, meni je sve bilo ok

Mooi, schoon hostel, lekkere bedden. Prachtige algemene ruimte met bar.

Het hostel was minder sociaal dan ik had verwacht. Jammer dat er stond dat er activiteiten zouden worden georganiseerd maar dat niet echt gebeurde, of mensen die al in de algemene ruimte zaten daar niet echt voor werden verzameld. Ook was er op zaterdag onverwacht een prive-event bij de bar waardoor de helft van de algemene ruimte en de bar was afgesloten.

Esta cerca de algunas cosas

El personal muy pasota , les comente que en mi habitacion habian todos los dias dos dias creando disturbios y sin parar de hacer ruido , les escribi tambien por booking y ni me contestaron ni me ofrecieron una solucion al problema , no he podido dormir nada en las dos noches que he estado alli

Location, Staff and Ammenitites. Everything surprised me positively.

It was my first time staying in a hostel where each person has their own pod. You can choose to stay in a female only pod - and it was the best decision! The pod has everything you need: lighting, power outlets, and a curtain. The girls I met there were really nice and friendly, and everyone was respectful. The bathroom was tidy. I took a hairdryer free of charge at the reception. They have different activities going on in the evenings at the bar downstairs, really nice! The night I had stayed there was a band playing live. All in all I would recommend this place for a short stay.

I found it inconvenient to dry my hair with a hairdryer in the evening because all the girls were sleeping by 10pm, and it was the time I only returned to the room. There were no plugs in the bathroom, only in the bedroom where the pods were (which is an Irish safety regulation). I ended up sleeping with wet hair. So I guess there are things like that you need to consider when sharing a room with others. Has nothing to do with the property per se.

The atmosphere, people and the room. The hostel is plenty of young people, close to the city centre and police station. The building is modern.

The code of my room did not work so well

Ok
