Best Swords Hotels

"We stayed here after a long flight into Dublin Airport and were surprised how close it is to the airport! Less than 10 minute drive to a lovely little town with many nice restaurants and bars. You can also drive into Malahide in less than 10 minute too. The hotel itself was lovely with a large room and nice bathroom. The staff were very friendly and there is parking at the hotel. There is a bar on site so it can be a little loud but there wasn’t noise too late at night so I wouldn’t let this put anyone off staying here"

"Need to know: It is currently 2.5 pounds per person each way to ride the necessary airport shuttle bus. Dublin Airport imposes a long walk on everyone using any of the shuttle buses, which stop much closer to the bus station than the airport (however, you can't get a cab because the distance is too short). In addition, Dublin Airport has a very confusing entrance/exit area definitely designed to make it impossible for vehicles to get anywhere close to the terminal, but also making it virtually impossible to make sense of the signage and twists and turns when using public or for-hire transportation. You need time, both in and out!! I downgraded to ”4” for Location because we had to pay for the airport shuttle - the more expensive, name-brand airport hotels do not charge. Also, breakfast is not included at the Premier Inn and is currently 9.95 pounds for continental, including a few hot items you can order, or 11.95 pounds for the full hot breakfast. The food is good and the restaurant is large and comfortable. On the plus side, our room - with a queen bed - was large, the bathroom and closet were generously large, and the room furnishing is simple but quite functional. Worth being this close to the airport to make sure you are timely for your flight, especially flying to the US, which definitely takes 3 hrs as you go through Ireland security followed by US-specific security that is a long walk away and repeats all the standard airport security processes!!"

"Fine for what it is - the restaurant is decent and the staff are friendly. The room itself leaves much to be wished for considering the €130 I paid for it, but I’m told all of Ireland has become one large scamming operation so I suppose this is just normal."

"Great location for airport and good for meetings in the various meeting rooms or cafe/lounge. Quiet rooms for overnight with good breakfast."

"The very kind and helpful host gave excellent advice about the surrounding area, with Malahaide Castle and the village and coastal walk - all very lovely. The bed was divine!!"

"A little far from the center, but on foot you can reach the station, and to the castle"

"Wonderful hotel close to Dublin airport with free regular shuttle bus - timetable available on their website and in hotel. Room was lovely and spacious, good facilities. We are in the Runway restaurant, food was delicious and service was impeccable, could t fault it."

"The Hotel was beautiful and the location was great the clean facilities were excellent and the service was exemplary. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grand. Our problem seems to be with TRIP.COM. We paid our bill, a fact born out by our credit card, but we keep getting notices for nonpayment. I have tried to contact the hotel with no luck and no luck with TRIP.COM."

"Good location if you're looking to stay near the airport, but I honestly wish we had spent another night in the small Mourneview B&B near Carlingford and made the drive into DUB. This hotel is huge and packed with people. The receptionist was kind, but the line up is long and once you finally find parking, you're fed up waiting. There is air conditioning in the lobby, but not in the hotel rooms. Felt like an oven as soon as you walk to the elevator and the night was long as the room was warm, so we opened the windows and then we had the noise of the busy motorway outside. The room was okay, but then we found gum stuck under the table. The breakfast was the best part, the buffet has many options to choose from."

"The hotel is old and the color lights are dark. But the facilities are complete, there is an indoor pool, and you can also sauna. If you can renovate it, I believe it will be a very good hotel. Very close to Dublin Airport. I think I should go again, after all, there are not many hotels with swimming pools."
