The Old Borough hotel rooms are above a bar, but despite being a Thursday evening, the rooms were quite quiet. They are away from the drinking customers. They were clean, the staff were courteous and helpful. You go to the bar to check in, and that seemed strange at first, but worked just fine. The clerk offered to book us a taxi for the next morning and the taxi arrived early, which was great. The only difficulty was the lack of parking for checking in, as we first checked in before dropping our rental car off. The parking lot was totally jam packed with bar/restaurant guests. There was no place reserved for hotel guests to park and check in. We got it worked out, but it was very stressful, and included me having to make maybe a 9-point turn to re-orient the car. It also included two random passers-by volunteering to help coordinate the traffic. I'm not kidding! Those two were so nice and helpful!! We left too early to sample breakfast.

The parking was very tight but free for guests. I was a bit worried when I saw the bar downstairs but the rooms were lovely and quiet. The location was handy to the airport and an easy walk to the castle and shops. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was clean and hot. We bought breakfast which was a very good deal. I would stay here again.

If you stay here make sure not to have a room over the bar. Our room was quiet but others in our group said it was very loud. Staff was great, food was so so. Overall I would rate it a 7.

They have a great bar with excellent quality and prices. We found the outside area of the hotel (there are tables to eat) with a lot of trash on the floor. The room was a little uncomfortable. The staff were great. Maybe the place is not for foreigners.

Room was clean and there were shops nearby. Only complaint is that the pub had music/bass shaking the walls until the early hours. I should have done more research so that is my issue.
