Pub/hotel near the Dublin Airport.

It was a hotel on top of a pub. Not fancy, but comfortable. Order everything from the bar including food, drinks, and hotel room. Not much parking and a little hard to find, but we felt secure, had a good dinner, and enjoyed the pub atmosphere.

Great spacious room and near airport

First time in a “Spoons” hotel and completely satisfied. A lovely big room and bathroom and even an iron. Handy for a bus to the airport too.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

You really must consider this property if you need somewhere close to the airport that is excellent value. Good size room, comfy bed, great bathroom and excellent beer and food options. A lot to like!
Evan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Kevin, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Limited space, hot room, adequate food.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great room with plenty of space, high ceilings and exposed brick, AC, and great modern bathroom fixtures. Check in at the busy bar was a little odd but went quickly once we found a free staff member. Noise from the pub didn't carry upstairs. The pub is good for a few inexpensive drinks. Good spot to spend one night before an early trip to the Dublin airport and at check in they arranged for a cab to pick us up and drive us to the airport the next morning.
Julianne, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty hotel with poor service. Really disappointed. Hair in the bed and in the sink, and old toenails at the coffee table. Really bad.
Mikkel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything for our stay was absolutely great. The only reason I gave a 4 star for customer service was bc it was a little standoff-ish at first until they got to talking to us after a bit. Wasn’t sure right away how our stay was going to be perceived. Other than that everyone was kind and helpful
Stephanie, 1-night trip

Great bolthole for the airport.

Nice area and convenient pub restaurant downstairs. When restaurant is busy it can be tough to find an employee to help with the room

The staff was friendly and very helpful. Would recommend it and will stay there again when I return! Very close to shopping.
Karin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and very convenient being over a bar and restaurant. Our room was located next to the beer garden area so it was quite noisy until about 1am. We had a flight in the morning so location was good to get to the airport early
Meredith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional
