We had a fabulous stay at The Grand. The hotel was clean and well maintained despite its size. Our double room was on the small side but comfortable, with a beautiful view of the water and contained everything we needed for our stay. Staff were pleasant, very helpful, and check in was a breeze. The location of the hotel was perfect, opposite the water, few minute walk to the marina, village, train station and castle. There were plenty of places to eat and drink in the village, but we also enjoyed the food at the hotel and had a few drinks from the bar while sitting outdoors taking in the stunning views.

I literally happened upon this property in a beautiful coastal suburb, Malahide, right outside of Dublin. I had never heard of Malahide, but a lovely Irish woman suggested I stay at the Grand Hotel for my last night in Dublin. It was a fantastic tip. The hotel gave me the peacefulness and calm I needed before my flight home to Los Angeles. The village it is in is just beautiful with tons of restaurants and the famous Gibney's bar. I'd come back again anytime. Also, my hotel room was recently renovated and it made a world of difference.

Hotel is modern clean with great pool great area’s to have a coffee or a meal in the bar bed rooms very comfortable and well decorated no air conditioning we stayed in heatwave so not so comfortable without it but a fan was in room .breakfast was excellent what put a damper on our stay was we were unable to book in until4pm had arrived early and were told our room would not be available until 3pm went back at 3pm and was told as we had booked with Expedia and not hotel was the reason we would have to wait till we got our hotel room key at 4pm while we were happy with all the meals and room the reception has put ? Mark on weather I would book again as this was our first time staying at this hotel can’t say this is normal experience when booking in

We were delighted to be back again in the Grand Hotel - the renovations have made such a massive difference to the quality of a stay there. From the beautiful bedrooms to the gorgeous lobby (which really is Grand now!) to the delicious food, everything is 5 stars! Whether it is to celebrate a Big Birthday (we brought our family there for my 70th) or a cosy 24 hour break for ourselves, the Grand is a winner!

Breakfast had good choice and was fresh. Could perhaps have a think about more than one coffee machine that makes cappuccino, latte etc for the amount of people at Breakfast as queues can build quickly. Staff at breakfast very friendly and attentive clearing plates. Hotel itself is beautifully decorated and finished. Nice to see a free carpark also!

We enjoyed our stay at this well-located hotel in Malahide. The room was very clean and comfortable (our only quibble was that the pillows were not as comfortable as the bed.) The breakfast buffet is very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. We'll stay here again the next time we're in Malahide.
