Our room overlooked the main entrance .
At 0100 am children were outside playing football , directly beneath our room ! I spoke to the manager who eventually spoke to the kids . However they still
continued . Around 130-continuing until 0300 am various groups who seemed to be drunk were extremely noisy again outside the lobby waiting for taxis. I spoke to Kevin the manger the following morning who was very dismissive and said they were unable to control this!! I pointed out it happened on hotel property and they ought to be able to control the situation. Apparently there was a function hence the rowdiness. Extremly disappointed in Kevin’s handling of my our complaint and we shall Not staying again . ( second stay at the. Grand and be aware lots of functions on Saturday evenings ‘

Malahide has been our go to for many years. The cricket ground has been a very special place for us as a family with great memories.
We have stayed in lots of places around Malahide, this time we decided to stay in the Grand, 9/10 from checking in on line, self check in when we arrived, no need to go to reception, fantastic idea.
Rooms amazing, the only thing, we couldn’t work the coffee machine, it just kept putting water in the cup! Yes we used the coffee pods.
We did ask the cleaner to help, obviously he couldn’t help either. So no morning coffee was had. This was disappointing.
To add to that it would have been nice to have herbal tea, and normal coffee, with sweetener's, knowing the machine didn’t work.
We didn’t eat an evening meal in the hotel but the food looked delicious.
Staff around the Hotel and sports centre friendly and welcoming.

What a beautiful place for an anniversary. The room was spacious and clean. Great water pressure in the shower. Pillows were good and soft. Went to the spa to use the pool and hot tub, unfortunately the tub wasn't working properly. No big deal was a goot time. The food was excellent, I highly recommend the hot wings at the bar. Not too hot but wow what a flavour. Good and close to most places. Top was the Mucross castle and gardens.

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!

Dinner was horrible. Wait staff was almost non existent. 20 minutes for drinks. The breaded fish was all batter, tiny fish. The breaded chicken was too much batter, minimal chicken & DRY. STEVEN our waiter never returned to check on us or see if we needed anything. Very bad experience.
On a pisitive note the bartender in the bar in the back was lovely. She was very attentive and kind. She made us feel welcome and she was fun to chat with. Everyone at the bar enjoyed her and we had a good time.

We have stayed at The Grand on a number of occasions and always enjoyed the ambience - including the friendliness of the staff. However ...

We generally book the same type of room - the 'superior' twin or double - but there was no doubt that the space in our room last week was significantly less that that of the room we were allocated in July - so we were slightly disappointed. The room did feel a little cramped - partly because of the extra bed - which we had no need of.

Everything was great, it's a beautiful hotel in a very picturesque area. The only negative comment I have concerns some of the food in the restaurant. I had a fish dish, sea bream, which was a bit tasteless and had quite a few bones in it. Considering the prices It was disappointing and I didn't enjoy it very much. I would certainly stay there again but wouldn't eat the restaurant. However the bar food the evening before was excellent
