The Old Borough by Wetherspoon | Hotel in Swords

Chose this location for proximity to the airport for an early departure. If you’re brining luggage in to organize, it’s extremely inconvenient. No parking -(spaces are all taken by employees). Sketchy dark pay lot close by. Check in is carrying luggage thru a crowded bar, and trying to get the attention of a bartender. Then carry the bags up flights of stairs , again thru a crowded bar. If you’re looking for convenience, check elsewhere.

Great stay at this inn. Easy check in. We liked the pub and menu.

Very happy with the bar and restaurant. Uncomfortable sleep though. The bed was so worn it was visibly concave when I walked in. It was a very uncomfortable night sleep.

Stayed before. I had a lovely room that time It was a bit sticky the day I arrived The air con was difficult to regulate so either too cold or warm The tv only had around 5 channels

This is 100% not a 4 star hotel. The reception is a closet in the bar, the room is tiny, it's a very old building and way too pricey for what you get.

Good location, typical bar/restaurant area. Room was tastefully decorated but had a few scuffs user marks. Would definitely stay again

Was a perfect hotel. Very helpful and polite staff. Clean rooms. Easy booking in and out. Would definitely recommend

“Near the airport” isn’t usually an indication of a good area, but Swords was recommended to me as a place to stay before flying out, by a Dubliner I met while touring the rest of the country. Food, beverage and lodging prices were actually lower in Swords than any of the places I visited in rural western Ireland, though the people were more urban in their conduct. My room had a cathedral ceiling and a fireplace, plus both a bathtub and a shower, and I could park right in front, off-street.

This hotel does not have a reception, you check in at the bar. We arrived to find out that the bar and restaurant were closed due to a plumbing problem. This was an annoyance since we had planned to just eat dinner there and get an early night before our flight home. Instead we had to go out and find somewhere to eat. The room did not have a window, just a skylight, but seemed clean and functional. We left early to head to the airport so no idea if breakfast was available. I would not choose this property again.

Great location. Very walkable and the rooms were surprisingly quiet. The staff was extremely helpful and kind but the room was than expected. It was a bit run down and smelled of old cigarette smoke in the bathroom.
