It was a handy location for an early flight
I didn't find the room very clean. It served its purpose but dont think we'll use it again
Location was good
Cobwebs in the room had to be moved by bath towel Breakfast could be earlier not 10am Girl staff very rude but manager was pleasant
The room was very clean, staff were friendly, and location was very easy to find.
Cerca del aeropuerto y en el centro de Swords
Love the central location of the 44. The rooms are comfortable + quiet despite being on the main street.
Flight was badly delayed so it was early in the morning when I got there + went straight to bed. There were no towels in the room but didn't realise until next morning when I went to have a shower before I went to the hospital for my appointment. There were towels later when the room was made up while I was out.
Ideal location for airport stay, bus stop across the road, bus route direct to airport in 10 minutes. Also close to restaurants, shops etc. Comfortable bed, linen. Friendly staff.
Shower was not hot, or even warm unfortunately, and poor drainage in shower and sink. Perhaps issue was just isolated to my room and it wouldn't put me off staying again as everything else was very convenient.
Great location. Well appointed room.
Can’t think of anything.
Central location
Très bon emplacement et près de l’aéroport de Dublin. Musique traditionnelle irlandaise dans le bar et bonne ambiance.
Pas de stationnement à l’hôtel, mais il y en avait à proximité
Wir haben die Unterkunft gewählt, weil wir einen frühen Rückflug vom Dubliner Flughafen erreichen mussten und haben mit dem Taxi 10 Minuten bis zum Terminal gebraucht. Wichtigstes Kriterium perfekt erfüllt! Ansonsten: Ruhiges, sauberes und bequemes Zimmer über dem Pub, sehr freundliches Personal, gute Anbindung mit dem Expressbus ins Zentrum.
It was very comfortable and close to everything and parking was easy
Very nice room. Easy to get to the airport using public transport.
Loud noise and sometimes a little cigarette smoke entering the room from pub patrons can be really annoying. The price is ridiculously high. Checking in with the bartenders would be fine except they’re overworked tending bar. No Beamish served. Breakfast not served at a reasonable time and the owner couldn’t care less about it
Kurzer Weg zum Flughafen.
Die Betten waren zu weich.
Clean, inviting & the pub is a friendly community center. Situated close to the Dublin Airport, Swords is a walkable and interesting town.As a retirement age woman traveling alone, I always feel safe and well cared for here. Highly recommend!

Very stuff rooms
Schöne, saubere Zimmer, sehr freundliches Personal. Unten im Hotel ist ein Pub, dort kann man lecker essen. Check-out um 4 Uhr morgens hat prima geklappt.
Unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Es war als kurze Übernachtung vor dem Rückflug am frühen Morgen gedacht, wurde aber zu einer weiteren schönen Erinnerung. Die Lage ist prima, trotz Straße und Pub im Haus ist das Zimmer ruhig, selbst auf dem Balkon. Schöner Park fußläufig erreichbar. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Das Essen im Pub war lecker und es gab Livemusik (zum Abend unbedingt einen Tisch reservieren!). Das Zimmer war sauber, das Bad verhältnismäßig groß und gut ausgestattet. Die Betten waren bequem. Die Unterkunft ist mit 2 Sternen angegeben, fühlte sich jedoch wertiger an als so manche 4-Sterne-Unterkunft.
Als Checkout wirft man die Zimmerkarte im Flur in einen Kasten. Diese Karte scheint man jedoch auch für das Tor nach draußen zu benötigen - gut, dass wir um 4.45 Uhr morgens darauf geachtet haben. Entgegen der ursprünglichen Auskunft war auch kein Portier zu sehen.
La habitación muy cómoda y prolija. La ubicación es excelente.
Al tener un pub en la primera planta, se escuchaban las voces de los clientes. Pero no hasta muy tarde.
Cute building, ideal location close to airport with bus stop right out front, clean modern room. Check in at the bar!!
No AC so room was a little warm, but opening the windows meant the cig smoke and noise from bar came in until midnight.
The location was good, close to the airport and outside of Dublin
Our room was facing the Main Street which it was very noisy, if you’re a light sleeper maybe get a room on the back. No elevator, so be ready to carry your luggage up the stairs. Also no parking outside the hotel, we parked on a public parking like a block away. Paid $9 euros for the overnight.
Que estuviera en un pub
El ruido de la calle y los portazos.a altas horas de la noche, teniamos la escalera de.incendios en frente con la puerta abierta y entraba frio por debajo de nuestra puerta
It is on Swords Main Street, close to many bars and restaurants.
Central to everything we need, pub has a great atmosphere and the food is superb, the breakfast is amazing.
The only problem I had was the shower was either to hot or freezing but every else was superb

Great location friendly helpful staff just what I wanted
Nothing all was good
carino e accogliente il pub sotto hotel.
Stanze troppo strette e sulla strada. Un po' rumoroso
Staying in Swords is a 10 minute drive to the rental car return. I much prefer staying here than one of the big airport hotels. Swords has a nice little main street with plenty of shops and restaurants. We stayed here the last night of our vacation and had a great time hanging out in the pub/restaurant on site. Dinner at the restaurant was very good as were the pints.
Hôtel agréable Personnel sympathique Choix de cet hôtel sur une nuit par rapport à sa proximité avec l'aéroport et son coût rapport qualité / prix

Top! Ik was hier sinds 2007 voor het laatst geweest, en het hotel en bar is helemaal opgeknapte.maar de zweer is nog steeds het zelfde, en het bultje voorbij als thuis komen!
Ik kan hier niets over zeggen, omdat voor mij gewoon alles goed is.
We liked it was right in the middle of Swords village,brilliant location
Posizione a 10 minuti di auto dall'aeroporto, sulla strada principale vicino a tutti i negozi e pub. Facilità di check in e check out, stanza abbastanza spaziosa anche per lettino per bimbo di un anno, bagno grande e comodo. Il pub era aperto ma non c'era musica dal vivo, abbiamo dormito tranquillamente per poterci svegliare presto per raggiungere l'aeroporto.
Unkompliziertes Einchecken, freundliches Personal, super Pub mit Restaurant.
Das Zimmer für 3 Personen ist sehr eng. Unser Zimmer lag zur Straßenseite, extrem laut in der Nacht, trotz geschlossenem Fenster.
Great location and staff were lovely to deal with
N.A
The hotel is very well located and has a pub attached, which is very convenient. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The only downside was the noise: we could hear doors closing quite often, which made the room a bit noisy at times. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
Excellent value and friendly staff
Staff was great , especially when we arrived
Room windows were just above the terrasse of the pub which was supposed to close at 00:30. But people were still loud at 2am
It's so easy to get to and from the airport. The town is great and has fun pubs with live music. The hotel is in the centre and easy access to everything you need. It was really clean and spacious for a room in Dublin. I would definitely stay there again.
Nothing in Dublin is good value for money!
Hotel molto vicino all'aeroporto (10 minuti di bus), in una zona tranquilla, ben collegata con l'aeroporto e con il centro, e servita di tutto. La camera, sebbene datata, era accogliente e dotata di tutto il necessario. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Nonostante l'arrivo in struttura in tarda notte, ci hanno accolto senza problemi. Consigliato!
La moquette aveva delle macchie e dalla finestra filtrava la luce.

Was not very clean
Location and staff were amazing.
Everything was good8
Personal supernett. Vor allem der Nachtwächter war top. Hat uns sofort nochmal reingelassen, da wir nach dem wir schon los waren noch mal zurück mussten um was Vergessenes zu holen. Lage zum Flughafen sehr gut. Hübsches Städtchen.
Teppiche nicht mehr so ganz sauber
Good location on the main street through Swords and if staying local to Dublin Airport, there are lots of regular buses that pass right in front of the hotel. Decent size room and bed was comfy. Good shower.
A little pricey for 1 night. Windows don't have a latch so are either open (and therefore could be easily opened from the outside) or completely locked closed so I didn't want to leave mine open when not in the room for security reasons.
Friendly staff, very clean and comfortable, great location for the airport
Great base for seeing the City and the coastal towns such as Malahide and Portmarnock. Room was clean and modern. Fantastic breakfast and great value.
A little more storage such as a bedside set of drawers would make it perfect alongside some water bottles.
Rooms were clean and fresh. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and helpful.
No chairs in the room. Breakfast not included and doesn’t start til 10am. You have to pay for parking on the street.
This was our third time staying and we're booking again for November. Staff are very friendly snd very helpful. We requested rooms near the stairs/lift because of my mobility and they accommodated us. Definitely one of our favourites to stay.
Czysto i schludnie. Pokój z łazienką ok. Dobra lokalizacja. Na dole pub.
Brak krzeseł. Brak wtyczki eu, trzeba mieć swoją przejściówkę.
Conveniently located. Quiet, clean, comfortable.
Very central to the shops and swords castle
There wasn’t anything we didn’t like
every thing location staff comfort food
every thing was perfect
Top Lage, easy Check in und out

Excellent staff, food was great, good location.
Would have liked advance notification and info re.parking options and what apps to download for on/off street parking. I would have also liked to have known there was no fridge or AC facilities in room.
Staff were great , comfortable sleep , lovely shower and great location.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had food here also on our arrival which was very good. Will definitely stay here again.
Location, food, clean rooms,
Everything was lovely
The cleaner knocking down your door at 845 in the morning.it was the second time I stayed and that happened they woke you up so early to get you out .But everything else was perfect.
La posizione e la pulizia della camera.
Il prezzo alto e la moquette che deve essere necessariamente sostituita, piena di macchie e polvere com'è. Scarico del bagno da rivedere.
Great parking across the road (public you need coins ) Nice room nice staff 👍
Traffic
The location was perfect
Bit noisy
Locations is central.
Room was some place that seemed like an attic. Heat was extreme and no way of opening windows fully. Room was smelling like drainage or something.
Great size room, very clean with everything I needed - except a fan. Friendly welcome on arrival with an easy check-in and out. Shower good with toiletries provided. Great location on the main street - easy access to the castle, shopping centre and bus route to the airport and Dublin.
The main light in the room wasn't working so I just had to use bed lamps at the night to see. Wasn't a big problem. The room was boiling - but it was a heat wave! With the window open it meant I could hear the noises on the street outside. The duvet was also very thick. A sheet and a fan would be a good addition in hot weather.

Small room, no chair to sit or bedside tables.
Centras.
Dušo nubėgimas užsikušes,ventiliatorius tualete užsikišes. Jei jie juos ir valo,tai galbūt tik kartą per du metus. Įsiregistravus tenka susimokėti dar kartą. Nes. Administratorė nelabai supranta kaip veikia booking platforma. Už antrą susimokėjimą eurus gražino. Vasara. Numeryje karšta kaip saunoje net su pilnai pravertais langais.
Buena ubicación tanto en el pueblo como para ir al aeropuerto. Las habitaciones estaban limpias y los baños estaban también muy limpios.
El hotel se supone que tenía parking pero no tiene. De las dos habitaciones, una tenía la luz fundida y olía a humedad, la otra bien
Many surprises beside the castle in the neighborhood. Felt safe. Restaurant/ Pub comfortable. Attractive surroundings. Simple & easy
Front rooms noisy with traffic & new construction
Ideal for night stay close to the airport
For it's purpose of an overnight it was good
Breakfast was not served eary e ought.
