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!
