The Dean Galway

I had such a wonderful stay at The Dean Galway and truly wish I could have stayed longer! From the moment I arrived, the staff at the front desk were incredibly kind and welcoming — their friendliness made all the difference and set the tone for a great visit. My room was spotless and stylish, with everything feeling fresh, clean, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell the hotel pays attention to the details, which made the stay all the more comfortable. Sophie’s, the rooftop restaurant, was another highlight — beautiful setting, great atmosphere, and delicious food. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring Galway. If you're looking for a modern, welcoming, and well-located place to stay in Galway, I can't recommend The Dean enough. I’ll definitely be back — next time for longer!

Rooms are very clean, bathroom is great size, bed area is good. Closets and bag area is very small and no place to put your clothes. No safe. Fridge costs is not too bad. The King bed is not a King and at times it would separate in the middle. If you are staying in the front of the hotel, you can hear the cars and people coming out of the hotel. Not a problem for us but maybe for some people who needs quiet. The blackout shades helps when you are trying to sleep at 10pm and it's still light out. Very close to the central bus station and Eyre Square. I did expect a little more because it claims it's a 4 star but that maybe just on my end. I did like the mini spa, i wish the weather cooperated more so we could have more time to enjoy it. Elephant and Castle was good, breakfast staff and food is great at Sophie's. Overall, i enjoyed Dean Galway and can recommend it.

Hotel was very modern and just like the reviews said about having high ceilings and no shelving for your things. Nice location and the Gym downstairs was huge compared to most hotels. This was a plus for hubby but overall a great place to stay for a short stay.
