Brilliant. Clean, comfy bed, and lovely hot rain shower. Lovely friendly staff and 10 mins to the airport. Super handy. If you get a taxi to the airport, it's around 16 euro. Easy! Mall is right in front of the hotel, and it's a big mall with lots of lovely shops.

“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.

Clean, comfortable and stylish rooms with a decent sized bathroom and a lift to get to the upper floor. Bathroom also had a tub/shower combo You'll be extremely lucky if you can park at the facility. If not, you have to park about a block away. Ordering food/drinks in the bar/restaurant has to be done from a QR code on the table. Menu is limited and you're virtually invisible to the staff while sitting at your table

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.

Parking is advertised as available but they only have 6-8 spots. The manager explained it's not "guaranteed". We had to park in a municipal lot nearby. Our room had no windows!! It had a skylight, but that just doesn't feel the same. It was rather unnerving. I'm just glad I am not claustrophobic.

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.
