The staff and building is beautiful- the rooms are tight and walls are super thin. They put a full size bed in a closet like room. Bed was all the way to the wall so could only get in from one side.

The Dean was one of my favorite hotels on my trip. The bed was so comfortable. The decor was very modern and everything was very clean. The cocktails at the rooftop restaurant were so delicious as was the charcuterie board. My husband and I also had breakfast the next morning at the rooftop restaurant. Unfortunately the breakfast is very overpriced and my eggs Benedict was served cold. Other than this the hotel itself is absolutely stunning, a perfect location, and the staff is very attentive and friendly.

The Dean is just fine - it’s well situated so those who enjoy a stroll can do so into the Galway city center with ease. The car park is about 1/3 mile away at a public car park but the price is just 12 euros a night and our car was safe and undisturbed. The hotel is trying to be very cool, but it does so at the risk of some common sense - we would have have used one shelf, or a wardrobe, or even more than three hangers on a rail in the room. All this would have been fine if it weren’t for the fact that this was by far the most expensive place we stayed on our 14 day trip through Ireland - it was a splurge and we stayed at some really nice spots where we got a bit more for our money.

Staff should be trained to advise guests on known parking issues and direct them accordingly. We arrived after dark and did not notice the parking restrictions across from the hotel. When I was checking in I specifically told the front desk where I parked and she was cavalier about saying that I would have to move the car before 830 am. The car tire was clamped that morning and the staff was unaware of how to help us although they were kind and tried. It was a very unpleasant experience where if they had procedures on how to advise or rectify parking issues it would have helped all of us.

The hotel has a lot of amenities. The one problem is the parking situation parking in Galway is difficult and you have to park in a lot which is expensive every night.
