The Forty Four

The Forty Four is a small, modern hotel on Main Street in Swords, built around the energy of a lively village pub-and-dining scene close to Dublin Airport.

Convenient base for flights: The Forty Four sits in the heart of Swords and is widely described as a quick, straightforward stay for early departures or late arrivals, with Dublin Airport only a short drive away.

En-suite rooms on-site: Accommodation is offered in well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, positioned for an easy “check in, sleep, and go” experience while still feeling like a proper village stay rather than an airport-only stop.

Food and drink downstairs: A key part of the guest experience is having a full pub and restaurant on the property, with dishes served throughout the day and a menu that leans into elevated pub classics in the evening.

Walkable Swords highlights: Staying here puts you within an easy stroll of Swords Castle, and it’s also a practical starting point for a quick break in Ward River Valley Park or a shopping run at Swords Pavilions.

Clean, comfortable feel: Guest feedback commonly points to a simple, updated, comfortable setup that suits short stays and travelers who value a tidy room over extra frills.

Potential noise: Because The Forty Four is above a busy pub on Main Street, some rooms may pick up evening sound, especially on weekends.

Not a resort-style property: Facilities focus on rooms plus food-and-drink rather than leisure amenities, so travelers wanting a pool, spa, or extensive on-site extras may feel limited.
