Booked last minute, great location and inexpensive. Good atmosphere and bar was lively. Breakfast next morning had great choice and non buffet. Checkout was 12 which was nice.
Didn't stay, stopped in for food, very busy, that always tells a story, took awhile to get seated but worth the wait, food was great, well the bacon and cabbage was anyway as that's what I had. Not the first time I've had good food here either 👍
I had a genuinely lovely stay at the Gateway Hotel Swinford — relaxed, comfortable, and quietly well run. The rooms were quiet, well-appointed, and had everything one might need. The staff were wonderfully kind, the food was excellent, and everything just flowed effortlessly. I ended up really looking forward to the traditional full Irish breakfast each morning 🍳 — simple things, perfectly done.
Highly recommended.
For dinner seated in dark poorly lit closed in area that had steps up to it even though we had a stroller! Window-lit booths at the front went empty. Food was average and pricey. Desserts disappointing. Room was pokey, not well-laid out and noisy from the corridor as was at the top of the stairs. Bathroom needs updating. Enquired about staying on another night (a Monday) and was quoted the same price as the weekend nights - short-sighted, decided against staying as a result. Difficult to get an answer on the reception. Wouldn’t choose to stay again.
