2/10 Poor

Rude front desk staff charged me an additional €40 for the room over what I had already paid. Room not as described on website, building work being carried out along the corridor, dust everywhere, constant noise & random fire alarms. Please refund asap.

Callum, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful experience at the Grand Hotel. The hotel lives up to its name – elegant, welcoming, and beautifully located right on the seafront. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were warm, professional, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and the bar and restaurant offered delicious meals with a lovely atmosphere.

10/10 Exceptional

Extremely beautiful hotel inside and out! Many dining/food/drink options inside hotel. Easy to walk to town, pubs, beach...Loved having an expresso/coffee machine in my room. Also had a great view of the water, boats, and sunrise was my bedroom window. Check-in & check-out was quick and easy just like making the reservation online. Room was large and comfortable. highly recommend!

Very modern spacious hotel in a very quaint city.
robin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Mostly very good, as expected from the Grand Hotel. Only negatives were that the room was too warm (no aircon and window only opened a couple of inches), and the gym/swimming pool were very busy with outside users (in fairness, it was the weekend) to the point of discouraging us from partaking.

The Grand Hotel is an easy walk to the Railway Station, Malahide village and the Malahide Castle and gardens. The hotel is in the Grand Style of yesteryear with many updates. The ocean and sand dunes and beach walk is just outside the hotel. Great area to walk around in. Many guests played golf on the Malahide golf course. Malahide village has a great selection of good restaurants. Bus from the airport stopped outside the hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is a living museum of history going back to King Henry VIII, Anne Bolelyn, Queen Elizabeth I. Not just historic but conveniently situated near Heathrow Airport it has become my regular stay over place before my next trip. The staff and amenities are excellent. The food selection is delicious! The cocktails unique. Highly recommend this hotel.
