I planned a surprise dinner party for my husband's birthday with 22 family and friends joining us. We had booked 11 rooms and booked dinner in The Coast Restaurant for the evening. The hotel staff were so helpful, nothing was a bother to them. We were treated so well, an area off the main lobby was roped off and reserved for the guests to wait to surprise my husband when he arrived, they printed special menus with birthday greetings at the top, the meal was excellent as was the service, we were also given a room upgrade. Everyone in our party was so impressed with the hotel. I would highly recommend it and will be returning again.

I used to stay at this hotel very frequently while on business in the Dublin area so it became a bit of a home-away-from-home for me. The entrance is very impressive and I love the different sitting rooms throughout that are so typical of these older hotels. The rooms can vary a lot, so make sure you request one in the newer, renovated part of the hotel. These ones are perfect - clean and very modern. There are some older ones in the hotel that definitely could use some work. The restaurant has spectacular views over the harbour in Malahide, but save it for the breakfast buffet (the breakfast staff are so kind!) or a special occasion. For dinner, I would recommend the hotel bar if you want to go casual because the food is actually really great there; otherwise, there's a wonderful little seafood restaurant just a 5 minute walk from the hotel called the Seabank Bistro that I would highly recommend!

You can easily explore Malahide just by walking from the hotel, and there's a very nice coastal path that starts right outside the hotel door. There's also a great gym that you can access from the hotel - it is a local gym (not just a hotel gym) so it's got the full set of machines, classes, very nice pool etc.

We stayed at the Grand Hotel in Malahide for four nights while attending the wedding of the son of friends of ours which took place on New Year's Eve. We arrived on the Thursday evening having flown in from Bristol. Lovely room (or should I call it a mini suite?), sitting area, dressing area, lovely big bedroom with a double bed and a single, which I took advantage of as my husband unfortunately went down with a cold! Fabulous breakfasts in the main restaurant overlooking the marina and creek down to the sea. Easy walking distance to the station or buses into Dublin. The wedding day itself was fab, everything done perfectly for Ben and Alison, nothing too much trouble for the staff, all in all a fantastic weekend and I would certainly stay there again.
