We loved The Dean! It was my husband and I for one night. Gym, pool, sauna, everything you can need. Clean! Only thing is rooms are super small, no closet, if you have big bags, you prob can’t keep them open for the day/night.

This is a beautiful hotel! We had a large two room suite for three people. Plenty of space. It was quiet and lovely. Nice balcony. The restaurant has a cool view, food was tasty. We didn’t get to use any of the amenities since we only stayed one night. The location is perfect. Loved Galway!! Would recommend and will definitely stay again!

Great hotel, probably the best one in Galway. Bar, lounge and restaurant were excellent and the gym/sauna/hot tub are major highlights. Easy walking to everywhere in town. One tip: don’t book smaller than the Double room. Even that size is pretty snug.

The rooms are so charming. The beds are comfy and the showers are great .The pool is tiny but useful.Kind of weird you have to reserve it to use it. Every worker was friendly .The rooftop restaurant looked great but we didn’t actually get a chance to eat there.Id definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay. Convenient location with easy walk to downtown Pubs, shops, restaurants and more. Facility is very clean and nicely maintained. Room was small but very efficient, comfortable, well provisioned, plumbing and electrical was all top-notch. Car park was a couple of blocks away, so try to find a nearby parking space or loading zone to drop and pick up luggage. We didn’t have time to make use of the pool or fitness room, but they both looked very nice and were being enjoyed by several other guests.

The check-in process was terrible. The lobby was full of people from a big group and we stood around waiting for nearly a half hour to get checked in after a long day of travel. The room was small but comfortable and we enjoyed the general vibe of the place. Staff were very friendly, we loved the gym, small pool and ice baths and we had a really good breakfast.
