Hotels Near Holywell Playground in Swords

Ideal preflight stopover. Handy to have bar and Cafe . Staff very efficient and friendly. Quiet considering proximity to the airport. Could not fault this hotel it had everything we needed for our stay

This was the most expensive hotel of our ten day trip to Ireland (more than 200E) and we chose it only because of the proximity to the airport. The pictures on the Internet made it seem nice and modern but they were deceiving. The first room we got smelled like cigarette smoke even though it was supposed to be non-smoking. The hallways also smelled like smoke. The second room we got was dirty -- an old sock was left on the floor and there were hairs on the bed. The tv remote was so old the numbers were worn off and the remote was missing the battery cover. The tv was also unplugged from the cable for some reason. The rooms are very small -- think college dorm size or cruise ship. The hotel and the rooms I saw are in dire need of renovation - the elevator creaked every time it was used. The only positive things I have to say is that the breakfast was pretty good (buffet), it is close to the airport, and the front desk personnel were friendly. However, I wanted to get out of the place as soon as I could because it felt so dirty. Even the McDonald's across the street felt elegant compared to this hotel. The Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport was by far the worst place I stayed in Ireland and an unfortunate ending to an otherwise nice trip. Surprisingly the hotel was packed with travelers when we were there, given that it was so bad.

Great if you have a flight out of Dublin Airport. Bar was great but we felt that there could of been a little more choice of food in the restaurant and bar. Breakfast was excellent. Close by public transport links to main town Swords.

Was very disappointed with room seemed a bit worn or well lived in, but thankfully we only checked in at 16.30 and checked out 5am following morning. Restaurant service, food, drinks and staff were 100% perfect. Car parking was OK too, really short shuttle ride to airport and only a short wait 15mins for collection back to car. So really only let down for me was the room, I'm guessing if you stayed longer you would get a better class of room? other than that good job and staff are a credit to this hotel

Very welcoming and spotless guesthouse and excellent location as airport is only a short drive away. We were a small group of 6 and we finished our tour here and spent the last night enjoying Malahide, which itself is worth the visit, so much to offer. Rooms were cozy and clean and place altogether very inviting. If busy Dublin city does not interest you, don't look any further as Malahide has an excellent access to city centre, but also other beautiful seaside towns and could be a perfect base for your trip!

This is a bit of a mixed bag; perfectly OK to stay for a single night before flying out, but for several days if you have to work, then maybe consider one of the Hiltons near the City centre. The good bits: -Hotel foyer & restaurant has a good layout -Parking is available in the underground car park Food in the restaurant is good For improvement: -Hotel corridors are dingy... carpets need replacing and so too lighting. It's a bit depressing -Rooms are ok (there are refurbished rooms that you might get), but if facing the road - a bit noisy -Aircon terrible... mind of its own -Service in the restaurant is incredibly slow. Took 2hrs to get meal, and of the three that served us, there was no intervention to check nor when we pointed out the wait, any immediate offer to resolve.. and it was undercooked. -The gym is small for a hotel of this size -Location is 10~15min from airport and 30 to the City via the toll tunnel. Above all, the restaurant service needs fixing and more attention made to how long dishes are taking. It's basic stuff really.

Point A Hotel, what can I say. Well presented inside and out, the access to bedrooms locked behind a key card, the bar and breakfast area also immaculate. As you enter your bedroom it is well organised and has everything you need. The bed was a firm mattress but that was perfect, a surprised samsung 43” TV was waiting to be watched from the wall. With LED strip lights and mode lights all around the room and a decent air con to go with. The room had a safe but i never needed to use it. The one LED strip light on the curtain track was losing its stick and i had to reattach it everytime the curtains where opened. Speaking of which the arrangement I felt was weird as it typically goes curtain than net curtain from inside looking out, this hotel went net curtain then curtain. Maybe you do get some rooms with a view, i most certainly did not, considering how close it is to the heart of the city and Temple Bar. My window view consisted of an opposite rooms window and exterior build walls and a steep drop down below. If you are looking for a well presented hotel with decent sleep quality, this hotel is for you, if you are on your own this hotel may not be for you, due to its lack of hot meals at breakfast and throughout the day. For a hotel at £180 a night, you could easily get a hotel with a hot food breakfast and evening meals nearby, the price structure like the rest of Dublin is overpriced for what it is, one of the cheaper priced hotels but still not worth the price. The breakfast was ”okay” you had a selection of 2 cheeses, 3 sandwich meats, 3-5 pastry options like pain au chocolat, croissants, scones, sausage rolls and mini bread rolls / baguettes. Was some cereal options too, a choice between orange juice, apple juice and ice water, then your usual hot drinks choice. It was all fresh and well presented, i just wish it had a cooked option too. In terms of location, ignoring the building opposite that was a form whiskey shop. It was great, right around the corner from O'connell Street, where it was incredibly busy, multiple shopping centre esque buildings along each side street, with id say 10 minutes you can be in Temple Bar area on the South Side of the River by foot. With such easy access to trams, buses, taxis near enough on your doorstep, and the far enough away from Temple Bar to not hear it, but close enough to go there was ideal. In quiet traffic from the airport you can make it in 15minutes. So to summarise, it was a good, but overpriced

Couldn't ask for a better location. Very close to the charming little town of Skerries with great restaurants/shopping/pubs. Also able to catch the train to Dublin city center there; much easier than trying to drive into the city. Easy location to get to the Dublin airport as well. Room was very clean and comfortable, had all the amenities we needed. Breakfast was great and hosts were very gracious and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
