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.

I’d warn anyone against this hotel and will certainly avoid weatherspoons in the future.Due to our flight being delayed 3 hours we didn’t arrive at the hotel until 12.30.am but we were assured this would be ok . We’d booked a triple room but when we arrived it was clearly set out as a double with double bed only ,2 cups, 2 glasses etc .
We were exhausted as we’d been travelling some time but had to chase back to the bar to find staff to ask if we were in the wrong room. The rather unengaged staff member reluctantly came back to the room with us and didn’t know what to do . He said possibly we could check the sofa. He stood with folded arms watching as my very tired husband and daughter struggled to set up a sofa bed .
Surely this should have been set up for us . No one goes to a hotel snd expects to be constructing furniture snd making beds .
No apology nothing .
Well not go there again
Expedia were hopeless too as I sent a complaint in but just got a reply saying they were looking into my request to waver a charge . Which they still haven’t replied too

Nice location near shopping mall and a few good pubs in addition to their own bar and restaurant all within walking distance. Rooms are well designed and comfortable, though the air conditioning unit in our room periodically made grinding sounds — seemed only when adjusting to new set temperature— and did not happen while sleeping at night. Surprisingly quiet in room considering above a busy pub. Parking is not guaranteed and is very limited on premises, and not a-lot on street either— we parked in a pay lot a half plovk away until a space opened in front of the property.

The town of Swords with the castle,church, tower was interesting. The staff at the old borough was rude from the minute we arrived at around 1 from the citylink bus. Stopped at the registration desk in the bar. All he said is check in is at 2! Okay can we stow our bags? They did. We ate at the restaurant. We've eaten at weatherspoon before in Scotland. This food was not horrible but not good.Couldn't get the Internet to work so ordered at the bar. The wait staff was slow and you could tell they didn't want to be there. Went for a walk around town After lunch tried to get on the WiFi to order a taxi for the next day to the airport. Couldn't. We checked in at the bar again and a nice man checked us in and I asked about the WiFi again. The same person who was rude to us was rude to him and said no Internet I called engineering. The nice man called and ordered us a taxi. We never had WiFi during our stay. Our room while not only dated and in need of paint was as clean as housekeeping could keep it clean. There was a horrible smell of mildew, black mold as soon as you walked in the door. It was definitely coming from the carpet probably from the shower area as that part of the carpet was wet most of the time. The smell permeated the room and made our stay the worst experience we had in our two weeks in Ireland. Overall we had booked this room to be close to Dublin airport before our flight the next day. We liked Swords but this hotel was misrepresented on this website.

“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.

There is no actual \"front desk\" to check in at. The bar/restaurant handles that. The staff was very helpful during check un and during our one night stay. 10-15 minutes away from airport. Restaurant food was mediocre in quality. Prices for beer/wine and mixed drinks were very inexpensive, the lowest I have seen anywhere. Room was no frills but comfortable. If you need a place for a night or two arriving/leaving Dublin airport this will do it. Parking is limited.

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.

Really good spot to stay in the Swords area. The room was very well appointed and more roomy than some hotels we experienced in Ireland. Really nice bathroom and comfy beds. Very clean and the staff were very helpful — the manager even showed us to our room. No real lobby area in the hotel (check in is at the end of the bar downstairs) and minimal parking onsite, but we didn’t care about that. Area around the hotel is walkable and full of great shops and restaurants. There is even a castle just down the street! The Old Borough is not the Savoy, but it is not pretending to be either. It is a very good hotel and an excellent value. Would definitely stay there again.

Location is very convenient to shops and restaurants. The rooms are above a pub, but I did not have any issues with noise from the pub. I
did hear noise from a nearby room, and I don’t think the occupants were being particularly loud.

Parking was difficult - the lot is extremely small, and I ended up parking on the street in a pay to
park area. Parking on the street is free after 6 pm and before 8 am, which happened to work with my arrival and departure times. Probably your best bet is the parking on Foster Street a few blocks away.

My main complaint with the room was that it did not have a window, though there was a skylight with an electronic shade. Overall it was a comfortable stay at a decent price for the location, but a small room with no window may feel claustrophobic for some guests.

The room was great. It was roomy and had a lot of character. It was fairly quick and fun to check in with the bartender instead of waiting on a clerk in a stale reception area. Everyone we encountered was friendly and efficient.
The only bad thing was the bedding. The room was slightly chilly, the way we like it, but there was only a comforter. It was fabulous, but after a while it got too warm and with not even a sheet, we were hot and cold all night.
The area's numerous shops were busting with activity, and Swords Castle, a little gem in various stages of reconstruction, was just a few blocks away. There was a shockingly large shopping mall relatively camouflaged in the neighborhood just across the street.
It was super quick to get to the pub from the airport and the taxi ride was cheap and friendly.
Know that there are just a couple places where you have to traverse a couple stair treads with your luggage. We were traveling light, so it was no big deal.
The old lift to get our bags up to the room was a hoot, the inviting stairs were quick and scenic overlooking the beer garden, the food and the ale were delicious and inexpensive, and overall it was a great place to stay on our layover to Rome!

This was an unusual experience - neither good nor bad. The hotel was quite close to the airport which is why we chose it (early morning departure). There are plenty of restaurants and other businesses around, and a very busy pub at the hotel itself. Our check in was done quickly and professionally. Our room was an accessible unit and had a tiny sink. Since our stay was over a Saturday night, there was noise from a nightclub for a few hours in the middle of the night. Nothing that a pair of earplugs couldn't handle. Free parking was a bonus. We did not eat at the pub - the food did not look appetizing and to be truthful the clientele could have been lifted from an episode of \"Absolutely Fabulous.\"

The hotel reception is odd. You walk into the main floor bar and the ‘reception’ is a small office at the end of the bar. The elevator is the weirdest one I’ve ever seen. I rode it once, and thought I was stuck until I figured out how to open the door. Some instructions would have been useful. I didn’t ride it a 2nd time.
Nice basic restaurant and bar on the main level. One of the few places I visited that provided ‘normal’ sized meals instead of ludicrously oversized sandwiches like many places serve.
The breakfast options were limited. I usually just have a pastry or brown bread and coffee or tea, but no pastries, scones, or breads were available.

The young lady that checked me in was very nice and as helpful and she could be. We felt like we had the same experience when having dinner. You order with a QR code and have very little interaction with staff. The bar/restaurant was pretty busy, which we were there on a Friday night. Parking is a nightmare. There are very few parking spots - maybe 10 at best for the bar/restaurant and hotel. We were told to either park in a spot blocking someone in and move our car later that evening (when it thinned out) or park somewhere else. All in all the hotel was nice and clean. Staff were great.

I booked this property for it's location as it was a 10 minute drive to the car return at the airport and I did not want to stay at a generic hotel chain for our last night in Ireland as that makes me feel that my vacation has ended a day early. This hotel provided a lot of local flavor as I did not realize the whole first floor is a local pub! It's huge and does not play music as its clear everyone there is here to talk to each other. The food is like local diner or pub food and is inexpensive. The drinks are also a deal. The hotel \"reception\" is a closet at the end of the bar. The parking in front is extremely tight and fits all of 8 cars. The bed was a bit on the small size as were the rooms but we did get another day of Ireland vacation in so I met my objective in booking here. Its within walking distance to the Old School House restaurant where we went for dinner and across the street from a mall so it was a good location which was important to me.

Room was nice, comfortable bed. The hotel is above a pub, while there is good sound proofing when people leave the pub at midnight they hung around for awhile after this making noise. Also it seems that there was some movement with the kegs at this time.
Something to be mindful of, despite booking with a confirmed pay at the hotel local currency agreement via Expedia, I was charged in my currency prior to my arrival. This was inconvenient to me as I had money reserved in euros on a different card. I called the hotel initially and they advised this was a mistake and they could refund this on arrival, and I could pay at the hotel. When I arrived the woman was quite rude and advised they have started charging guests before they arrive as people were not showing up, and nothing could be done.

Parking is a challenge. The lot holds enough for maybe a dozen cars. Confusing check in process. Walked through restaurant and checked in at bar. No reception. Room was large and spacious. Sleepless night though as they have an automatic opening skylight they opened and closed by itself all night long.

The hotel is on top of a bar, but it was quiet. The room was quaint. No mini fridge though. And no air conditioner. It was a little warm. Had no windows, but did have a skylight.

Very quick check in, room is amazing.
AC was perfect. Location is great, got into the city and back very easily as stop is right across the street. Would 100% stay here again.

I chose The Old Borough by Wetherspoon because it’s close to the airport (10 minutes), but it didn’t meet my expectations. Getting into Dublin was inconvenient—40 minutes each way and $30–$40 per ride. The property itself felt outdated and crowded, more of a local bar scene than a comfortable hotel environment.

The room had no windows, only a skylight connected to a loud AC system, making it dark and difficult to ventilate. The television wasn’t a smart TV, so streaming wasn’t an option. I also found there wasn’t a comfortable lounge area to relax before an early morning flight.

On a positive note, two of the check-in staff were very kind, especially one gentleman in the evening. Still, overall, I was disappointed and wouldn’t choose this hotel again.

Picked this place because of proximity to the airport. Last night in Ireland. Arrived around 4 pm. They had our room ready and even had the right request of handicap accessible room. Was a little worried based on previous reviews. Check in and out at the bar was easy. Close to shopping, the castle and other quick activities. Did eat here for dinner. Food was good and reasonable. Does seem to be a local hangout, probably of the good value on drinks and food. We got lucky with parking. Parking is free for hotel guests but first come first serve. Only about 8-10 spots. If you snag one keep it. The air conditioning was the best of all the hotels on our trip. If that is important to you then it was the best. Would stay again in the same circumstances.
