4/10 Fair

Thanks but no thanks
Not as per expectations. It is not a bad facility overall, but be advised. There are only five parking spaces and you can get blocked in by double parking quite easily. The very nice competent security guard helped me park my car in a suitable space the moment one became free, but without him it was impossible. It is a Wetherspoons bar, I was not aware of this on booking, be advised quite busy and exuberant. Room was clean but dark with only a skylight no window.

Nice overnight stay
Boutique hotel above a bustling pub in a historic building. Beautiful architectural features. Pub is a local hangout. Easy walk to Swords castle, restaurants & shopping. 5 min from airport. Enjoyed our stay. Parking lot is tiny, so if you arrive in late afternoon, they’ll have to give you a voucher to park offsite.

We spent our last night in Ireland at The Old Borough. It's an interesting old building that has been renovated into a nice pub and inn. The room was spacious with unique decor and comfortable bedding. The shower worked well, though it did let a good bit of water out onto the floor. Otherwise, the room was comfortable and quiet. Parking is very limited, but we lucked out and were able to park at the property. Street parking is available, but it is a busy street. The Old Borough is on the main street through Swords, and is a short walk to the castle and many good dining options. It's a very short drive from Dublin Airport, so super convenient if you've got an early flight. After a week of driving around the North & West of Ireland, The Old Borough was the perfect place to stay before flying out the next morning.

We were freezing in our room. We had been out in the rain all day and trying to warm up. When I went down to the front desk to ask if there was a trick to get the heat on, she told me they control the heat and it wasn't due to go on but she could put ours on earlier. I found this strange, especially when I'm the guest and if I'm cold, I want to be able to put my heat on.

Great location convenient to airport. Large room. Good bed. Clean. Perfect for one night before heading home.

Loved the decor. Pub downstairs definitely popular with locals and prices for food and drinks very affordable. Within walking distance of two historical sites (12th century castle and church). Lots of little shops and pubs within easy walking distance. Quiet and quaint. Operating the lift up to our room was a challenge and climbing into the deep tub in our room would be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but all good otherwise.

Very cozy atmosphere. Staff was great. They could use additional breakfast items. Fruit on the menu, but didn't have it available twice when I tried ordering it. I will definitely recommend this hotel to others.

The Old Borough. Swords Co Dublin
The room in the photo is the one we got and it was massive with a large bathroom with bath and walk in shower. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. What a great team they are. As we were visiting family The Old Borough will now be our default hotel to stay in along with the rest of the family.
