It’s a great location near the best restaurants in Ireland. It has amazing views of the sea and it is very close to both Portmarnock golf club, Island, golf club and Port Marna links.
Great hotel to stay at in Malahide! Excellent staff, very nice rooms, great location by the sea, and fantastic restaurants onsite! I’ll definitely return!
Beautiful hotel! Bed was extremely comfortable and room was nice, airy & bright. Breakfast selection & lunch menu top notch! Would definitely recommend.
The fire alarm went off at 2:00 am. The breakfast was ok with a cold spread and full Irish. The rooms were nice but no air conditioning. It appears to be a higher end clientele with a good location in the town. It’s a larger hotel and took two elevators to get to suite.
great work trip, we stayed two nights.
The pool and saunas were crowded though, and the dressing rooms to the pool a bit dirty.
But the rooms and hotel area in general was flawless, and the location with great views was a great experience.
Very helpful staff!
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.
