This hotel was the highlight of the trip. Not only did it have a cool gym with sleds, cardio machine, TRX, and more but it also had a fabulous spa. They had a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and fully equipped showers with Dyson hair dryers. Very swanky hotel, Expedia pics don’t do it justice. The rooftop bar was also a great plus. Definitely would stay here again and will recommend to friends.

I have been in Ireland for a week this is best hotel I stayed in so far. Pool is so fun and hotel is so cute. I was staying in NYX CC Dublin and Hyde down the street but its way cuter here at the Dean. Really enjoyed the Dean the best out of my trip.

The hotel is well located for walking in to town and the lack of on site parking is only mildly inconvenient. The on site dining and drinking options are excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The only real negative was the lack of storage space in the room. I would happily swap the quirky record player and mini bar and snack collection for somewhere to put my clothes. There were just 3 hangers on a rail.
