The Old Borough Hotel - Wetherspoon

I stayed here for a gig in Dublin, its not my 1st time here, and it never disappoints. The girl at check in was so.polite and friendly, I waited at the bar and she was very efficient in checking me in. The food is excellent and very good value.

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

The rooms are very nice, but the set up is odd. You checkin for the hotel at the bar. I had to wait for quite awhile for someone to acknowledge me so i could check in. And when they mention limited parking, they mean it. There are about 6 parking spots jn front of of the hotel/pub and its a VERY big and very busy pub. Parking is basically not going to happen at the hotel. There is street parking but you can't park there all night. Having said that, the bed was very comfortable and our room was very quite.

From the moment we arrived, from check in to check out it was excellent the rooms are fab and the food is great the best hotel I’ve stayed in, in a long time, all the staff were amazing, highly recommend this hotel, brilliant shopping centre straight across the road. Will definitely be back

Room was very modern & comfortable; the only downside was that the remote control was MIA so I was unable to watch the massive TV. The restaurant & Bar is great, good vibe, friendly staff, and the cheapest food & drink prices I’ve seen in years.

The photos for the rooms are not accurate and misleading. I booked a "Double or Twin Room" and expected to get what was pictured (windows, brick walls, sofa, etc). Instead I got a room with no windows (yes a skylight) and no sofa or exposed brick. The room was small and did not have good ventilation. A second point of disappointment was the service. This is not a normal hotel. It is a weatherspoons pub with a few rooms upstairs. I was expecting a check in desk or reception. Instead, I had to ask someone at the bar and they checked me in. And after I complained that the room did not match the photo, a worker just walked away from me. The staff are there more concerned about the restaurant customers than the hotel guests. The parking lot is tiny and when I pulled up, there were no spaces available. I had to double park and block a lot of people until the staff found someone who was leaving. The positives is that there is a weatherspoons downstairs! So it is super easy to get food/drinks, and even an early morning breakfast (7am). It is also right across the street from the Pavilions Shopping Centre, so anything you need is there. Overall, even though the facility seemed pretty new, it was a bad first impression for check in/staff and a complete let down in terms of what was promised in the room description/photos. I know they can do better.

The room was fine for the price. The bar area was nice for a few drinks. The staff were very helpful. Overall excellent for the price

Food was horrendous. I got a steak and it was full of grizzle. I said it to the server and he just said apologies for that and he took it away. There was 3/4 of the steak left in the plate.

The historic feel inside with the charms of the old world married with the modern decor/conveniences was done really well. The feel is upscale cozy and safe. The customer service we received upon arrival and departure was wonderful: we had very heavy bags and my mother has a bad hip and knee. We were helped with them (the man carried two bags for us the whole walk) through a big gate into the beer gardens and then through to a lift to get them up to our rooms and then a different man helped us down with them when we left too, insisting to carry them all the way to our car and then load all the bags in for us. Most helpful! But when dining for dinner the first night the noise was up in the bar and dining area and we had a hard time understanding the young waiter (we’re from America) and communicating with him seemed to upset him. He was then slightly rude and corrected my mother about ketchup saying that in Ireland they call it “red sauce” when we asked for ketchup… The next morning in explaining where we could get condiments the waitress called it “ketchup” and we felt then that that young man the night before was just a bit prejudiced, perhaps. Did not like that much. But I think this was a fluke, not reflective of the establishment.
