Expert reviews
“In a six-story Georgian building, this 51-room property bears the distinction of being one of the newest hotels in Dublin’s city center. A tasteful, reasonably priced crash pad for those who want to be in the heart of the night life district.”
“Reserved and understated on the outside, unapologetically hip on the inside, The Dean blasted onto Dublin’s hotel scene in 2014. Rooms here look a little as though they’ve been transported from a Brooklyn brownstone and are given monikers such as modpods and Hi-Fis.”
“The boutique Dean Hotel, part of a terrace of Georgian townhouses, offers first-class, quirky accommodation in a city centre location. It’s young at heart, with a funky ambience plus DJs at the weekend, and its bar and restaurant are among the city’s most fashionable spaces.”

All you need to know
A major partner of the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2017, the Dean Dublin is a boutique hotel located in Dublin city center, only a few yards from the Gaiety Theatre. The St Patrick’s Cathedral and Old Jameson distillery are only a few minutes’ walk away from its front doors. The hotel is surrounded by the city’s bars and clubs and guests can easily become immersed in the rich culture and traditions of the neighborhood.
When not soaking up this excitement, guests can relax in air conditioned rooms that include a TV, minibar, coffee machine, electric kettle and private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer and free toiletries. The rooms even offer city views. The property is newly designed with vibrant colors and that vibrancy clearly extends to each room.
On Conde Nast Traveller hot list, the hotel prides itself on separating it’s self from the conventional. It boasts a rooftop bar and restaurant. The restaurant has a 270 degree view of the city. The effect is truly mesmerizing, just as is the entire stay at this one-of-a-kind hotel. This view and city is best enjoyed with a partner and this hotel is great for couples.

Location was amazing! Interior and style was so modern, trendy and Instagram-able
Room was extremely warm as thermostat was turned to 23* in the summertime…thankfully managed to change it by fiddling with the thermostat although it was hard to use, annoying green light above doorway made it difficult to sleep. Otherwise everything was great

Very cool place, really nice bar, room & restaurant, We got a great price for dublin city centre in july
What I would advise is to ask for a room on the left side of the corridor - the right side of the hotel is over the nightclub coppers, its really loud as the rooms are over the terrace.

Comfortable but room for improvement
Bed very comfortable lovely view from the room we got moved to and a lovely place but some things need to be worked on.
The tv in our room didn’t work and then the one in the room we were moved to also didn’t work great. The first room was dusty and the bathroom in the new room wasn’t clean and the coffee machine didn’t work.

Good but not incredible.
The cosiness of the room and the staff were amazing.
The cleanliness of the room was not up to par. The bed sheets were slightly stained and the floor hadn’t been mopped in quite a while. The bathroom was also not the cleanest I’ve been in. Pool facilities were good.

Lovely decor and features throughout, and fabulous rooftop bar/breakfast area.
Would’ve liked to have been told before arrival about the nightclub adjacent, which is open until 4/5am. We were told to phone if we had issues sleeping, but were unsure on what could have been done in the situation so did not. We understand there’s nothing you can do, apart from supply the earplugs which was nice and useful to some degree. Just felt it could be detailed on the hotel information. Also the “punk” rooms were extremely small for 3 people, felt like we were on top of each other at times.

Excellent and would come back
Vibe. Chilled
More options for people with allergies for breakfast

As a whole, the hotel is pretty flawless, great facilities, lovely room&bathroom, comfy bed and good location. Staff were great too.
The only issue is the hotel is next door to a well known nightclub and it is extremely loud. Earplugs are provided but if your planning an early night at the weekend you won’t get much sleep. Maybe a freebie from minibar or treats could help.

For the price it’s not worth it, feels really cramped- and feels greedy.
Restaurant on roof has a great view.
Room was much smaller than size we booked- should have been 26sq m and was more like 16 sqm. A bathroom pod that looked like the tardis took up a third of the room and loomed over the bed barely leaving room to squeeze round it. No toiletries other than shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Paper cups for tea and coffee. Tardis bathroom badly lit with no magnifying mirror. A shelf of booze, sweets and condoms opposite the bed left nothing to the imagination and is clearly targeting a different demographic- boys out on a stag weekend…Nowhere to hang or put clothes- no safe for valuables. Nothing useful just toys for boys wanting to party.

Location is excellent and staff were lovely
Pool was very small. Breakfast was only OK for the price of it I'd expect better
14 June 2024
The bed was good, the hotel and room decor was cool, cleanliness was decent, staff were very nice.
Staff Location rooftop outdoor pool
There is no Parking ! Also the parking at St. Stephens Green that is subsidised by the hotel is too expensive to put on top the hotel stay.

Fun stay in Dublin!
Very funky hotel! Very walkable to everything. Super gym and sauna. Nice rooftop restaurant. Very enjoyable stay.
Suggestion to ask for a room away from the disco next door.

Very quirky hotel with a cool vibe in a great location
The room was perfect for what we needed. Compact but we are close friends anyway so it was manageable! Great shower, plenty of gels, shampoos, towels etc. Loved the decor with the mini Smeg fridge, the old fashioned radio and the tray of treats which were reasonably priced to be fair. We only met the staff on reception for check in and out, they were very friendly and helpful. We wish we had more time there to spend some time on the rooftop bar as it looked like a lovely spot to hang out with friends. Will definitely return in the future.
Nothing....everything was ideal.
