We’re not told about the lift so dragged our luggage up the stairs. When checking out we did take the lift and once down we couldn’t open the door. We were stuck in lift for 8-10 minutes until we were able to flag down someone walking by and they notified management…need better instructions!

Loved the decor. Pub downstairs definitely popular with locals and prices for food and drinks very affordable. Within walking distance of two historical sites (12th century castle and church). Lots of little shops and pubs within easy walking distance. Quiet and quaint. Operating the lift up to our room was a challenge and climbing into the deep tub in our room would be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but all good otherwise.

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.
