Lovely stay
Hi! We had a really lovely stay with ye in Galway. Service at the desk was quick and efficient and our room was gorgeous! Loved the speaker and vinyl player in the room. Being able to get drinks delivered to the pool was a class treat!

The room was clean and comfortable. Nevertheless, the windows did not block out the loud music that was being played in the pub next door. Despite this issue, we would definitely stay again.

Freezing cold rooms
The room was freezing cold. I had to ask for a change of room at 1am - and that room was also freezing cold. They are clearly not heating the rooms to save money.

The Dean is new and trendy, and located very conveniently to the areas best restaurants and pubs without being right in the thick of bustle. While new and with good amenities (the sauna, cold plunge and gym were amazing features), design and furnishings leave something to be desired. Beds are uncomfortable - many of which are two zip-tied single beds that cave in the middle and where you can’t sleep because of mattress seams. Furnishings consume all usable space on the desk and there is no where to put suitcases or hang clothing. My biggest complaint was with staff, who were generally unfriendly, lacking in knowledge (didn’t know if the hotel had parking, didn’t know about the hotel’s events for NYE, etc) and the restaurant service was entirely slow, lacking in attention and generally lacking in interest. We had to chase staff for every request from start to finish on both occasions there. As a very regular traveller with extensive hotel experience, I’d say The Dean missed the mark on some critical elements of a great stay.
