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 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!

Everything was top shelf. Everyone on the staff was warm and friendly and most willing to help with anything. Your concern was truly their concern. Special thanks to Tetiana, evening shift housekeeping.

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.
