Jacobs Inn Dublin

Dublin City Centre, Dublin

Just a 5-minute walk from Dublin’s lively Temple Bar entertainment district, this modern purpose-built hostel offers affordable accommodation within the very heart of the city. It specialises in group hostel accommodation for schools, universities and low-budget tours to Dublin. Very great place to stay. I was surprised with the bed arrangement, they are like pods, so you cannot be disturbed by others. There is also a small place to put your luggage, you dont need a lock yo secure them as they work with a pin.
