It's a nice property with a great location. No complaints with our room. Loads of places to walk for entertainment and a meal. There was confusion with our reservation and we never fully resolved. BEFORE YOU BOOK A STAY HERE - read your reservation details CAREFULLY. They aren't flexible if there is any kind of issue. I booked through Expedia and they were of no help resolving.

We have stayed at the Grand hotel in Malahide twice now and we love it. The executive rooms are clean and spacious with lovely toiletries and a few extras to make us more comfortable. We had an evening meal at the hotel which was delicious but we only eat a small breakfast so the €25 cost was not worth it for us and we ate in a local cafe instead. The location of the hotel is perfect for lovely walks along the sea front and for exploring the shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes in Malahide. It’s an easy walk to the railway station and the castle too. We will definitely be back for another stay at the grand.
