Beautiful hotel in a great location. We were upgraded on arrival which was great and the staff at reception were friendly and professional. I had a slight issue with my card but the staff were very patient and courteous. Barfood was lovely, coffee area at reception is great and we loved the snug bar. Decor and vibes are what strikes you first but it's the staff that make the difference. Will definitely be back.

Loved our stay at the Dean in Galway! The amenities were amazing and the room was very nice and clean. I love the decor and style they put into decorating the building, everything is unique and beautiful. The gym was above any other hotel gym I’ve been to, and we enjoyed using the sauna/steam rooms and cold plunge after getting a workout in! If they had locations in other parts of the world I’d stay here every time I travel! Will definitely be booking with them when we return to Dublin and Galway next time!

The property was very nice. A little further from town than I wished especially when it’s raining. The staff was awesome. I loved the gym. It was a great break in the trip. The food, the service and the views from Sophie’s. Cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. I will definitely stay at The Dean if I ever go back to Galway.

This was such a cool hotel! I would describe the style like a futuristic 50s vibe. Multiple bars, a beautiful rooftop restaurant, friendly and professional staff, great gym, I mean, we just wanted to hang out at the hotel. The room was perfectly sized, there was a minibar, the bed was so comfy. Location was great also, not center center, but like 5 minutes away walking. The bus and train stations are super close also. Loved it!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was beautiful and stylish and the staff were wonderful. We also LOVED the outdoor spa pool, sauna and steam room. The location was fantastic. The only drawbacks related to the practical aspects of our stay. There was no storage in the double room. No closet, no dresser, so we basically had to live out of our suitcases and the room was so small that I couldn’t access my side of the bed with the suitcase open on the floor. The parking situation is also kind of stressful because there is no where to park or pull into the hotel and you have to park (for an extra cost) in a parking garage a few blocks away. But if I were single with a small amount of luggage and no car, this hotel would blow my mind!

No on sight parking. Street parking (if you find it) or public parking 10 minutes away. That was my primary issue. If that doesn’t bother you, everything else was nice. About 7 minute walk to shops and restaurants.
