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.

Enjoyed our one-night stay in Swords at the Old Borough. Lots of good window shopping along the street and in the large mall across the street (which includes a movie theatre). Super convenient locairon to the Dublin Airport and local historic and scenic sites north of Dublin.
