The Old Borough Hotel - Wetherspoon

Swords close to airport.  The accommodation was located directly opposite shopping centre.  Easy access to public transport into Dublin. Good facilities our room was very clean, and despite having some concerns about the potential noise level it was very quiet.

I stayed here for a gig in Dublin, its not my 1st time here, and it never disappoints. The girl at check in was so.polite and friendly, I waited at the bar and she was very efficient in checking me in. The food is excellent and very good value.

Room looked nothing like the photos, needs updating - nice to have the bar downstairs with lots of food options

The hotel needs a full refurbishment as all decos and furniture were old and dirty. Lighting was very dim and pipes were smelly. Not worth anything.

We loved the “old” look and feel of this place…all of the wood and beautiful architecture. The check in process could definitely be improved. It’s not clear on arrival exactly where to go and it turns out that reception is just a closet area inside the bar/restaurant. Perhaps better signage would help. We found the bar staff to be quite unfriendly. No smiles or small talk. Quite cold, actually - as if we were bothering them. On the flip side, they have a fantastic food and bar menu and the prices were the best we saw during our two week trip through Ireland. Food was excellent! Oh and added bonus was the “lift” to our room. So cool. The room was tiny but suited our needs just fine. Bathroom was big, bright, and spotless. We chose this location due to its proximity to the airport and it made our travel day that much less stressful!

We enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfortable and the room was cool. We had a great time with the locals in the pub below and the food was good too. Definitely a great advantage being so close to the airport for an early flight. Would stay here again in the future.
