Great bar and staff are a credit -sadly the hotel rooms are much too sparse!
Pros:

Great pub lovely staff, my husband said they served the best Guinness he’s had for a long time. Very attractive comfortable bar. Breakfast was great and the bar menu looked good. Location is fantastic on Main Street in Swords. Comfortable bed. Great bathroom and shower. There was tea coffee facility

Cons:

The room was sparse and a disappointment really, there were no bedside tables and there wasn’t even a chair. My husband has a c- pap machine which had to go on the floor. The side spotlights on the headboard didn’t work. We had to use the main harsh overhead light. There are no hooks to hang anything in the room and the clothes nook was barely adequate and awkward to use. No water, no frills. Pity really! We paid €190 for this room. I’ve paid less for the Old Borough Hotel and had a beautiful room. Having said that the staff and the great bar facility would encourage me to go back.

Pros:

Very nice clean room and staff was very nice and quick. Only stayed for a night before we head to the airport. Quick ride. Had an issue with a clogged shower but management was quick to resolve the issue.

Cons:

No ac or fan, so would be a problem in the summer time. Rooms are really warm so we keep the windows open but you can hear people outside the bar area chatting. Not the best if you go to bed early

Overpriced, hot but accessible room
Pros:

Central location in town; bed and pillows comfortable; lift to room

Cons:

Heating unable to be turned off; I opened windows to let in air, the cigarette smoke came in from smokers downstairs ( and I have asthma!); no side tables by bed or desk/chair in room; expensive for what was offered
