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.

The Dean Galway is a great hotel to stay at. The rooms have air conditioning, which is hard to come by and there is a wonderful fitness center as well as a pool, sauna, and steam room. The hotel is in a great location as we were able to walk every where. Staff were quite pleasant and hospitable.

The Dean is located about 5 minutes walking from Eyre Square in Galway. This is a main area where you can catch a bus or train. The area is safe but there is not much around for shopping. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the details, decorations, and style is very bougie but some of it is more beautiful than functional. The shower for instance looks nice but the door is not flush with the opening and the floor got soaked anytime we showered. Our king bed was two twin beds and the middle was obvious. The bedframe itself wasnt great either and the marble side tables looked nice but were too big for the space and I found myself hitting them when I was in bed. The staff of the hotel were nice but I feel as if the hotel looks nice but is somewhat impractical.

I was very disappointed with the room. I had to crawl onto the bed as I had no leeway to climb onto the bed from the sides. It was quite uncomfortable as I suffer from very bad back problems. I did speak to the receptionist and she said they had no rooms available. For the price I paid it was very disappointing.

Nice 3 star Hotel. I would suggest that the owner focus upon the basics, forget trying to be fancy and funny and just provide good service and food! Does their profile mention that they do not have parking?

Amazing Boutique Hotel

Amazing boutique hotel! The rooms are perfect for 2. Contemporary and very comfortable. And it's an easy walk to the Quay, but far enough away from the crowds. Plus, the staff was great. Highly recommended.

The service was excellent from the moment we entered the hotel, from reception, bar staff, spa/gym facilities were all very welcoming and helpful. The room was immaculate and the shower was amazing! Very quiet and relaxing hotel. Very accessible to walk into the Latin Quarter but far enough to be away from the noise. Only downside is that we found the parking to be a little far if you are to carry luggage with you to and from the car to the hotel (it’s up hill so it’s easier on the way back). Other than that, pricing for parking is very reasonable considering. Overall, a great hotel with great staff in a perfect location. I will definitely return again!

new hotel in Galway next to Erye Square

Brand new Hotel. I’m used to staying in older modified hotels all across Ireland . This place is fun and modern. Meant for the business travel of girls trip . Rooftop bar is beautiful. If you are looking for old quaint Ireland go somewhere else. This is a beautiful hotel with bars / pool/gym and wonderful hotel staff
