Super cool vibe

The Dean is a super funky hotel with a chill vibe and vibrant colors. We loved having a turntable in our room and vinyl to spin. The colors and feel of both the rooms, lobby, and the hotel in general are funky and vibrant. It is not located in the busy area of town, but a short walk downhill will get you to where you want to be. Quiet and comfortable. The front desk staff wasn't super helpful, but the young woman in housekeeping was very helpful. Parking is in the city parking garage, about a 6 min drive from the Dean. Pull up outside and unload. Park, then bring your parking ticket to the hotel to get validated to make it a $20/day max. Would recommend!

Stay at The Dean

Fabulous stay at the Dean in Galway. We loved the amenities offered by the hotel including the sauna/cold plunge/pool, bar and coffee bar. Additionally, the lobby and rooms were all well maintained with a clean finish. Our only note was the location was a bit further from city center than preferred, but still only a ten minute walk from most destinations. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others.

This hotel was the highlight of the trip. Not only did it have a cool gym with sleds, cardio machine, TRX, and more but it also had a fabulous spa. They had a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and fully equipped showers with Dyson hair dryers. Very swanky hotel, Expedia pics don’t do it justice. The rooftop bar was also a great plus. Definitely would stay here again and will recommend to friends.

I have been in Ireland for a week this is best hotel I stayed in so far. Pool is so fun and hotel is so cute. I was staying in NYX CC Dublin and Hyde down the street but its way cuter here at the Dean. Really enjoyed the Dean the best out of my trip.
