Amazing

I loved the hotel, exactly as described . It was spotless, clever signage . All the staff were outstanding. Pool an gym set up were great. The rooftop restaurant was top notch. I slept so well there. Great mirror shower. Ask for extra coathanger s, as lack of storage was a thing. Treat yourself an stay there.
Terrific signage.

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms are very small, but functional. Location close to town, handy. No car parking on site, & would be an uphill walk with bags from the designated pay car park, but we only had overnight bag, no issue - & it wasn’t raining! €12 for hotel discount parking. Didn’t eat in hotel, bar was nice.

One of the best hotel experiences I've ever had

A really fantastic experience. The hotel is very modern with some incredible facilities and in a great location just 5 mins from Eyre Square. The gym is as good as a gym I've ever seen in a hotel. The staff there couldn't have been more helpful. Then the heated outdoor pool, sauna, steam room and plunge pools really set the place ahead of most other hotels. Really clean and convenient. The room was very small but had everything needed; a very comfortable bed, great shower and TV. It's quite like a modern hotel room in New York or even Tokyo; small but modern. I'll be massively recommending the hotel to everyone thinking of going to Galway and definitely will be back. Other hotels could learn a lot from the Dean's approach!

Fabulous stay. Absolutely enjoyed our stay. The outdoor heated pool / jacuzzi, steam room, sauna were a nice treat. The room was very cool. I can’t wait to go back. Hopefully for longer next time.

10/10 Exceptional

I was really impressed with the hotel! The facilities are modern and stylish. The gym was very impressive and the spa area outdoors. I had a pod room, which was small but that doesn’t bother me. It was clean and well presented. I would definitely return if staying in Galway again.
Janine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We stayed at The Dean Galway and although the hotel itself was very nice the service at breakfast wasn’t good. We waited 40 minutes for some Granola which made us late for all our appointments during the day!! The Avocado Mash was out of a packet and the poached eggs were rock hard. For such a new hotel we were disappointed. I have stayed at The Dean in Dublin and the service was way better.
