Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had very spacious and clean rooms, though some noise from outside disturbed our nights. The service provided was exceptional, exceeding our expectations. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach with beautiful views. The dining experience was excellent, especially for guests with dietary restrictions. The facilities were top-notch, contributing to a really relaxing stay.
The hotel is an old property that could use some updating and painting, but the rooms are basic yet clean. Unfortunately, my room wasn't ready at 3 pm, and the view from my initial room was dismal as it faced a wall, but the staff kindly relocated us upon request.
I loved the location of the hotel, super close to the village with amazing views. The rooms were good, although a bit noisy in the morning due to extractor fans. The service was a mix of pleasant and unfriendly interactions. The dining experience was fantastic with excellent gluten-free options. The hotel has several advantages but could use some improvements in certain areas.
The location of the hotel was excellent, overlooking the water and close to charming Malahide center. The rooms were quite cold upon late arrival, and despite requesting a fan, no solution was provided. Service was mixed, with friendly staff but long waits and ignored requests. The dining experience was subpar with items running out and staff not attentive. The decor and surroundings were beautiful, but the prices were high without including breakfast.
The hotel is in a perfect location, close to great pubs and restaurants, making it an excellent spot for exploring the cute town and easy access to Dublin city center. The rooms are comfortable but need a bit of a makeover, and the service staff are outstanding, particularly Victoria at reception. However, some bickering at reception can be off-putting. The dining experience offers plenty of choices, especially for early risers, but some dishes may not look their freshest. The facilities are convenient for both leisure and business travelers.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable but got overheated and stuffy even with the windows open. The lady at the coast restaurant seemed rude, which was off-putting. The room setup with single and double beds was unexpected, and the lack of natural light made it feel cramped. The value for money wasn't great due to the limited space.
I recently stayed at the Grand Hotel and had a great experience overall. The rooms were a bit cramped but clean and had comfortable beds. The lack of thermostat control was a downside, and there were some cobwebs on the ceiling. However, the sea view, although more of an estuary view, overlooking the front garden was pleasant. I truly enjoyed my stay and appreciate the effort of the Grand Hotel staff.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location is top-notch, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. The rooms were clean and tidy, but unfortunately, mine had a noticeable slant making it uncomfortable. The service was attentive and helpful, but there were some issues with the dining experience like the cold pancakes and limited options. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
The hotel offers modern rooms overlooking the car park rather than the water, with a basic layout and limited space, though it does feature a sizable wardrobe. The service was attentive and informative, with friendly staff throughout the leisure complex. While the location provides a nice view and easy access to local amenities, a negative interaction with a staff member may deter future stays. The dining experience varied, ranging from being not worth the cost to fantastic at the Coast restaurant.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room wasn't ready on time, but it had a nice quiet atmosphere with a view of the sea. However, the heat was unbearable as there was no way to cool the room. The service was excellent and caring, but there were long queues due to a nearby concert. The location was unbeatable, just across from the pier and a short walk from the train station. The dining options were limited, but the buffet was decent with a view of the water. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some highlights and challenges.
The hotel location was perfect, just a few minutes walk from a quaint village with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms were disappointing, like a hostel room, and we couldn't even get breakfast due to it being fully booked. Despite friendly morning staff, service elsewhere lacked attention and left much to be desired. I doubt I would stay again or recommend due to a rude staff member. On the plus side, the sea view was second to none.
