Another noisy night in anothet Dean
I stayed in the ground floor room and unfrotunately there was a party on downstairs on a Sunday. With no soundproofing and noise from the smoking area it was impossible to sleep. I asked the receptionist could i move rooms and she said there were none on another floor and was not honest on what time the music would stop. She passified me but did not help. It took three visits to reception to find out it would be going on much later and that i could move rooms. But I demanded a room switch that was not offered . I didnt sleep at all. The decor is nice and the gym and pool are nice but there is little thought for the fact people might want to sleep

Stylish spot in Galway
Lovely, modern hotel with a range of facilities. Overall suffers a bit from form over function. Great for insta pics but some of the design not very functional ie bathrooms, layout of (small) room. But did get early check in which is always a big plus, and staff were welcoming & friendly. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food. We did order a drink at the bar 1 night but bartender didn't know how to make a negroni. Be aware if you want the room serviced you have to alert them - I get the reasoning for this but also expect it to be standard in a 4* hotel. When we returned at 6pm to a non-serviced room I was disappointed, however the front desk did get it sorted right away, so that was good. Rooms are small, bed was very soft so I found it quite uncomfortable but that's my personal preference. The heated pool looked lovely although I did not partake, but will next time. Great location, only a short walk to the centre of everything.

Charming hotel in great location.
Very cosy tiny Mod Room unfortunately facing the pool on 1st floor , it is noisy from appliances being used and noise from the restaurants. Agility required for the very fitted bed. We got a late rate deal so probably shouldn't be too surprised. The Dean is a lovely friendly hotel in a great location.
