Good stay, only missing parking space
Very nice hotel, super friendly people, comfy rooms. Only issue is the parking space, very limited and some people parked behind our car, blocking our exit...but overall good stay in the middle of town with access to shopping and restaurants. Thank you!

Rooms are above their very busy hotel/restaurant but rooms well sound proofed so didn’t hear noise from hotel/restaurant. Room was quite small and very hot with no external windows to open. Modern and clean with nice bathroom. Hotel parking was limited and was full but paid parking around back was ok.

Our stay was great. There is a very busy bar downstairs but the rooms were clean and quiet and nicely appointed. Parking was tight in the lot but we managed. A quick walk to The Old Schoolhouse for dinner- it was a great spot to stay before heading to the airport in morning.

We loved The Old Borough experience. It was wonderfully restored. We loved the original fireplace in the room. Hospitality was very evident, as were thoughtful optional touches in place.

Nice overnight stay
Boutique hotel above a bustling pub in a historic building. Beautiful architectural features. Pub is a local hangout. Easy walk to Swords castle, restaurants & shopping. 5 min from airport. Enjoyed our stay. Parking lot is tiny, so if you arrive in late afternoon, they’ll have to give you a voucher to park offsite.

Staff were friendly, room was hot and stuffy
No window, AC wasn't working. Incredibly stuffy and hot overnight. No top sheet so had to choose between no blankets or a down comforter.

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
