hip vibe
We stayed here for a night. The place is funky and had lots of extra room accessories such as a record player. The hotel staff were attentive to the hotel guest. Able to hold our luggage. The room was clean and had two rooms as we had 4 people. We did have two teenages girls with us and the pullout bed was really not suitable for them in length. It was not a true bed that would fit the kids. They also forgot to sheets and linen. The kids did not get the best sleep. And our bed had a weird center divit. We ate at the rooftop restaurant. The service there was a little lacking and the menu/food was not that great (Steak mostly fat; pizza burnt) with slow service and forgetful of our drink orders. Our waitress just seamed overwhelmed. Even with all of this; I really enjoyed this hotel. Easy access to the city. Eye Candy.

Kitschy, nice hotel but need more comfort than got
The hotel is very kitschy… which is nice. My biggest issue was the room.. We had a king sized bed… assuming the room would be bigger (I know.. it’s Europe).. but the bed was practically the size of the room. No closet … luggage did fit under bed. A turntable took up a lot of space on desk.. I guess being older (64yo) we need a little more comfort … good for a 20 something.

Would have given the Dean a 5 star, but the bed was the most uncomfortable bed that we have slept in anywhere we have stayed. Everything else was great.

Galway Dean
Unfortunately we had a blocked bathroom sink issue . It was blocked and would not drain . After several attempts to phone to reception … no answer so I went down to reception.I had to wait in our room for a member of staff to arrive with all the equipment to unblock it … which indicates it is a common problem in the Dean Galway. This is unacceptable and no apology was given by the hotel staff even we checked out! We did not find this at the Cork Dean hotel . I think there is a lack of management of the young but well meaning inexperienced staff at Galway Dean . As we stay each year in a Dean Ireland We were dissapointed. I

Hotel was amazingly decorated and laid out. Loved the bathroom in particular. Only issues were the fact the speaker didn’t work (is it a prop?) and that when we asked for some decaf coffee we were given powder for a machine yet of course the room has no machine. Small things but all in all a lovely experience

Costly but worth it
We very much enjoyed our stay, especially the hydrotherapy pool (highly recommend working in time to experience) and would stay again. Location was slightly out of the are of main attractions but easy walk. Short walk from bus depot and tour pickup spot. Only complaint about room was the lack of space for belongings and suitcases. Decoration prioritized over function. Everything else was fab and we were able to check in early.
