We enjoyed our stay here. We just needed a place to sleep between flights and it was really easy to a late night check in. The convenience of the restaurant was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. Super close to the airport. It's located on the main street in swords so there's lots of other options for food & coffee alone the main street as well!

Good location if wanting to stay outside of Dublin close to bus stops and quick way to get to airport. Charming hotel overall, but could use some touch ups inside the hotel. Bar was lively and most, but not all, staff were friendly. We spent most of our time in Malahide which was a cuter town not far away.

The room was clean and spacious. We did find that the food was subpar. Our burgers were cold and we were missing parts of our meal. A decent hotel to stay at but I'd suggest finding supper and breakfast elsewhere.

Very happy with the bar and restaurant. Uncomfortable sleep though. The bed was so worn it was visibly concave when I walked in. It was a very uncomfortable night sleep.

Was not a good experience, the room was just ok. The TV didn’t work, the WiFi didn’t work - there was nobody to contact to highlight this - no reception area. For £110 for bed only this was a truly very poor experience, will not be staying here again!
