Outstanding time as always. Friendly staff, clean staff rooms, awesome pool. Close to the nightlife but far enough away so you don’t have to deal with the shenanigans.

I can't say enough amazing things about The Dean Galway! This was my second stay and it was just as seamless as my first. Early check in, and being able to store luggage to enjoy the last few hours in Galway was the best! The employees from front desk to the coffee bar to Sophie's were all just divine! Thank you for another amazing stay!

Visited The Dean for two nights with my partner and will definitely be returning. We were kindly upgraded and the room was fabulous! Location super central and got a really good value deal. The staff were super lovely! The facilities were fabulous - really good gym & nice outdoor heated pool with sauna & ice baths. Two restaurant options onsite but limited menus and quite pricey for options on offer; however, loads of good cafe and restaurant options within walking distance. Only additions to really add to the experience would be shelves/cupboard to store clothes in the room & mugs/spoons rather than paper cups for coffee & tea in the room.

Had an incredible stay at The Dean! The entire place has such a beautiful ambiance and vibe, and the rooms are absolutely stunning. The on-site gym is next level - honestly the best hotel gym we’ve ever experienced. Staff were fantastic throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be back!

This was located in the heart of downtown with limited eateries. The girl at the front desk did not mention that we would get 50% of parking at a car park .25 miles away down a hill. We only found this out at check out when the reception mentioned the discount. She gave us credit for 2 nights parking. Car park cost was 24 euros. Would not consider this location a good tourist location.
