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.

Great hotel, probably the best one in Galway. Bar, lounge and restaurant were excellent and the gym/sauna/hot tub are major highlights. Easy walking to everywhere in town.

One tip: don’t book smaller than the Double room. Even that size is pretty snug.

It’s a lovely hotel- convenient and modern. Beautiful view from restaurant on 3rd floor. Our room happened to be meant for a person with disabilities and so the bathroom was simply one large room with a shower without partition etc. The problem was it made it difficult as the entire bathroom was soaked and they provided only a small bathmat towel and 1 bath towel each. It was not ideal!

The location is very close to the eyre square , the bus station and many restaurants, they have a bar a small breakfast and coffee shop.
It is a little noisy at night but if you wear your earplugs you should be fine.

Very small rooms. Fine if you were just on a weekend trip but no room for big bags/no closet etc.
No parking on site so needed to park at a parkade down the road/not easy to pull in and drop bags.
Location was good.

We booked it for the advertised roof terrace. It had been closed down for some time
I did broach this as an equally good hotel was almost €200 cheaper. It advertised the only roof terrace but I feel that was missold to us and thought it should have been dealt with
The Sophie restaurant is ok

Great place to stay. Convenient location with easy walk to downtown Pubs, shops, restaurants and more. Facility is very clean and nicely maintained. Room was small but very efficient, comfortable, well provisioned, plumbing and electrical was all top-notch. Car park was a couple of blocks away, so try to find a nearby parking space or loading zone to drop and pick up luggage. We didn’t have time to make use of the pool or fitness room, but they both looked very nice and were being enjoyed by several other guests.

Room was clean and the staff were great to us. Hotel’s location was also great. 5 minute walk to the city centre, train, bus station, and Lidl (supermarket). Only thing that could have been better is a little bench for luggage and possibly another chair. We were two people so it would get crammy at times. Also, the walls are thin. Everything can be heard from the hallway. Luckily we had a corner room so it wasn’t bad at all. Overall, we would definitely come to the Dean again!

The check-in process was terrible. The lobby was full of people from a big group and we stood around waiting for nearly a half hour to get checked in after a long day of travel.

The room was small but comfortable and we enjoyed the general vibe of the place. Staff were very friendly, we loved the gym, small pool and ice baths and we had a really good breakfast.

The Dean Galway was a lovely hotel but I should have booked with them directly instead of going through Hotels.com. I had to cancel my original booking through the virtual agent of Hotels.com because of a change in dates. I was reassured by the virtual agent that my cancellation went through and that I would not be charged by the hotel. I was charged by the hotel. I am trying to get my refund back but it is very difficult trying to get through to Hotels.com. I will never use their site again!

We asked for a double. It was advertised that it was 279 sq ft. The room we are in is not even close to 279 sq ft. We are being charged $400 per night for a room that is not as advertised. Lots of other issues, like a shower that will flood the bathroom if you don’t block the water with your body at all times. We only see windows from the other rooms 40’ away that look directly into ours even tho our room was advertised as having a city view. Also advertised as having an in room safe-we didn’t have a safe and had to put our valuables in the hotel safe. A shelf jets out on one side of the bed blocking access so you have to crawl across the bed to get into bed (the wall is about 12” from the bed on both sides. No place to put two suitcases except precariously on the desk.

I was told we could not get rebated for not getting the room we were supposed to get, nor moved as you were sold out. They obviously cater to groups because each front desk employee asked if we were with a group and then commiserated with us because we weren’t and, therefore, would not be helped. Also whispered to us that we were unfortunately in room 128. Every employee stated the room sizes are bad. Will never stay in a Dean again. They misrepresent their rooms and charge ridiculously for what you get.

Check in was pleasant, very clean room and building overall, very friendly and helpful staff, great bed and pillow, great shower. Our room had a king size bed however at the expense of having a bedside table on one side so that it was up against the wall. Both sides need their own table and space to get into the bed without climbing in from the foot.

The staff were very nice. Hotel style is cute. Unfortunately the noise makes it very difficult to sleep. Walls are very thin so you hear everything and my room overlooked the trash bins and you could hear every time the gate was open. Further, the headboard to the bed was stained and gross. Lastly I understood there were no closets but there’s also no luggage stand so either you’re accessing your suitcase on the floor or keeping it on the bed.

The only good thing I can say about The Dean is that their decor is nice. However the room despite being called “the cosy” is the smallest uncomfortable room I’ve ever seen. There’s hardly any room at all for your luggage, you’ll be tripping over everything just to go from one end to another. The parking is horrible. It may be a 2 min drive but it’s a 10 min walk, if you’re unable to park close then good luck with your luggage the walk has a decently steep hill to walk up from the parking garage to the hotel. The restaurant is unbearably hot and extremely overpriced.
You can hear everything in the halls from your room so a good nights sleep is unlikely.
Our bathroom though looked cute at first glance, was janky, the button to flush the toilet wasn’t secure and fell off every time you used it, tiles on the wall were busted, soap dispenser was wearing away and looked gross, the towel heater was broken and looked dangerous. Save yourself and literally stay anywhere else.

The room was updated and clean. When i booked there were no pictures of the pool so i didnt bring a suit to swim. The QR code guest directory in the room doesn't work. The hotel is definitely high end, and the staff was friendly. I would be cautious booking this hotel on the weekend. Friday was quiet, but Saturday was wild. There was a drunk guy passed out in the hallway and a lady was slapping him to wake up haha. This is no reflection of how nice and lovely smelling and modern this hotel is.

Terrible, no one cleaned the room. I returned late from work. No toilet paper, no coffee. When I approached the desk they said “you needed to ask.” I replied “how would I know that.. I have stayed here before and my room was cleaned.”
Could not use the gym without an appointment.
Ridiculous, terrible lighting in the room and very old, dirty mattress. Extremely disappointing.

Worst hotel experience ever. No communication that hotel was actually going to be CLOSED. YES, A hotel closed over the holidays.

Do not waste your time here. Had gnats (small flies) flying all around our food and beverages the entire time we were at hotel and a number of the restaurants were not even open for service.

Do not waste your money at the Dean. I wish I could give 0 stars.

Visited The Dean for two nights with my partner and will definitely be returning. We were kindly upgraded and the room was fabulous! Location super central and got a really good value deal. The staff were super lovely! The facilities were fabulous - really good gym & nice outdoor heated pool with sauna & ice baths. Two restaurant options onsite but limited menus and quite pricey for options on offer; however, loads of good cafe and restaurant options within walking distance. Only additions to really add to the experience would be shelves/cupboard to store clothes in the room & mugs/spoons rather than paper cups for coffee & tea in the room.
