The Dean Hotel, Dublin

sofa bed was poorly made

Location

Construction work and you had to exit the courtyard rooms on to the street to access the main hotel and Sofie's for breakfast.

Great Location close enough to everything,Quality of the room was great, Facilities were excellent,Staff were nice and very helpful.

Funny how overpriced it is for the drink/snacks are in the mini fridge.Noise from nightclubs nearby but you expect that from the location, Personally didn’t find it terrible.

The staff couldn’t have been friendlier and our room was so cute and comfortable.

Super room is fantastic, comfortable bed and a nice coffee machine

Couldn't have a drink on the rooftop because of a wedding party and that's partially why we booked here

Everything.

Nothing!

Lovely room great location, comfy beds and amazing shower!! Also left us a locket note as it was our anniversary.

Didn’t have a wardrobe?? Also stunk of weed when in the building walking around the corridors of the rooms. Also downside of the building site but didn’t affect us since we were staying on the weekend and work wasn’t going out there

Particularly like the feeling of the townhouse. Room was gorgeous, clean, and quiet.

I had a cocktail on one of the evenings and it was undrinkable.

We had a great stay! The staff was friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and meeting our needs. The location was great—it was walking distance of the center but not right in the middle of everything, which made it easier to rest. The bed was super comfortable and the size of the room was great.

We liked everything!

The perfect location, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, lovely pool and sauna area.

Nothing

We had brunch - Sophie’s was lovely . Pool is amazing gym looks fab

Room just a little in need of a bit of tlc - scuffs and scraped paint but it’s a busy hotel it’s to be expected

Room was a litle noisy but thats to be expected in such a central location.

There was a lot of extras on offer, snacks and drinks etc possibly too much items for such a small room. Keep it simple.

The dean is on a beautiful street and both receptions at the townhouse and main building are lovely. The views from the restaurant were incredible.

The first room I was put in despite being a superior room had a night club and 6 industrial fans right outside of the window, I’m a super light sleeper and as I had an early start for work the next day I asked to swap. The person that served me was super understanding and did it without any bother however I did get the vibe their colleague stood next to them wasn’t happy about it. The rooms are really nice and I love the wooden floors. Everything in the rooms seemed clean however they did feel a little run down in places with chipped paint and a rip in my bed cover. The spa facilities are a nice to have but we’re not as clean as I would have liked and lacked luxury touches - the changing rooms need a thorough deep clean and we’re missing any clean towels, the way the sauna and swimming pool are positioned means you need to basically walk through the gym to get to them and the towels are kept by the gym reception. There are only a couple of towel hooks outside the pool so whilst I was swimming someone accidentally took mine and I then had to walk dripping wet and in a swimsuit to the gym reception to get a replacement. The glass between the sauna and swimming pool also needs a massive clean.

Lovely hotel with super comfy beds and fantastic gym/ spa facilities. Decor is gorgeous throughout hotel and staff were very friendly and helpful. You can also get discounted parking at St Stephens green nearby

Easy to get to, nicely decorated, beautiful bed room, lovely staff

The slidey door in the bedroom was hard to open but it was still gorgeous and the mini bar was very expensive

Quirky, classy, comfortable, great location

Was noisy on the 1st night, but that's not hotels faukt

I loved the town house room. It was lovely and quiet.

Location was great

The bunk room is far too small, literally not enough room for three people to get ready at the same time!

Great location and beautiful décor. Would definitely stay again. The outdoor swimming pool was amazing. Lovely chilled out vibe.

Nothing.

Facilities were amazing. Super clean and modern. Had every little detail nailed.

The noise! Obviously out of their control but the music from coppers went on until 3.40am and was so loud and close to the room it had given me a headache by the end of the night. Unfortunat as we’re awake until 4am. There is no way you could have slept through this.

Was lovely !

Grogeous hotel in a great location. Staff were extremely helpful.

a bit of construction going on close to the hotel. Wasnt an issue on the weekend though.

I've been passing The Dean for 10 years, visited Sophie's a few times but delighted to finally get to stay. It has such a lovely atmosphere in the public areas and I really enjoyed the whole experience. My meal at Sophie's was great, such a fabulous space, and Gabriel (thanks for looking after me!) and the restaurant staff were good fun. The Dean really raised the bar when it first opened and I'm so pleased to see that it's still going strong. Happy 10th anniversary!

Maybe it was me but I thought that the lifts were a bit weird? Pressing the down button when calling for a lift never seemed to work for me (?) so I would have to go up and then back down :-D

Care and attention from all of the staff, from check in to check out, Sophie’s Restaurant and the bar in The Townhouse - absolutely fantastic !

Loved everything

Complimentary room upgrade. Great welcome at reception from Dave and drinks with a view on the rooftop. Also love the decor of the hotel, lobby and room. Super location also. Was exactly what we expected.

Having to walk out on the street to get to the main hotel for access to the gym/swimming pool especially without a robe or slippers.

I loved the vibe in the hotel. It is very tastefully decorated.

Good location

Noise next door Room was small

nightclub next door music went onto 430am - so very loud and hard to sleep, being in a room on the opposite side would have been better

Very nice hotel close to busy bars and nite clubs. But very noisy if you’re not partying. The suite also doesn’t have curtains or a way of pre ring light from the bathroom at night. The pool is small but heated and a really nice touch.

Excellent facilities, one small irritant, having to pay €50 deposit ( to cover use of money mini bar etc) and having to wait up to 7 days to have it refunded.

As above.

Great Location

Bedroom tatty and strong smell of bleach Discounted parking was €28 - 4€ discount

We love staying at the dean. We find the best are some of the comfiest we have ever slept in, and the showers are so luxurious! The location in Dublin is fantastic! Walking distance of everything city centre.

The parking isn’t ideal as the Q-park is maybe a 10-15 minute walk. Which doesn’t sound like much but it is when hauling bags in the wind and rain (Irish weather). However, this is not uncommon with city centre hotels.

Love the location of this hotel! Sophie’s Restaurant is gorgeous and the Power Gym Pool and Sauna were a great treat. The rooms are modern and have lots of amenities fit in! The beds were comfy too.

The rooms were very small especially for 3, and a little worn down in some places and there was no space for storing clothes etc. It was fine for one night and since we got a good deal but if i had paid more or stayed longer it wouldn’t be ideal.

Quirky, classy, quality. Loved the small details. Friendly staff

The noise during the night from club next door

Location and last minute good value. Sophie’s restaurant is the best and the pool and sauna was amazing.

Not that I didn’t like but for 4* hotel it was little outdated - I mean our room. Had the smallest on ground floor and furniture could be better. Our bed was tiny but we are still short people 158cm. I guess any other taller person would not be able to stretch legs in the bed. Shower was good and powerful

Great hotel, lovely decor. Gym, sauna and pool were a welcome surprise. Very comfortable and well appointed rooms. Excellent restaurant with great views.

We were on the 4th floor below the restaurant and there was some noise from above. When we arrived on the Friday there was quite a lot of construction noise during the day.

I might have been lucky to have gotten a courtyard room in the townhouse - so it was perfectly quite and comfortable. Also Price more than decent. I wonder how it had been on a Friday night facing the street or a lower floor of the hotel. Reception personnel very friendly, also very kind and flexible about check-in at 13h. room original design and furnishing, including the "munchies corner". The room itself is very small but that didn't bother me in the least for one night. I found no cupboard just four coathangers on the wall, which was perfectly ok, but I wondered what you'd to if you stayed longer and had more clothes, and if it was raining and your overcoat and shoes wet - not really any room to put them. Also not really any storage room for the suitcase etc. But otherwise perfect. Breakfast in the rooftop restaurant in the main building (next door to mine). No buffet but served, but you order from the menu and pay there. Was ok. Could not work out if it belongs to the hotel or not. Had lunch there as well, was ok but not 5* quality. Personnel nice.

Friendly staff, the room was comfy and quiet.

The room could have been more clean, there was splash on the sink and shower. The women changing rooms in the pool was dirty too, specially the floor by the lockers.

Great little room in the annex off the main hotel, with a very well stocked room.

It was all very good. The room could have been a little bigger, but thats a minor quibble.

Reasonably priced for the standard of room. Much better value for money than if you were to stay in the temple bar area. Hotel staff very helpful and allowed for us to check in earlier.

The construction work, I know this is no fault of the hotel but it was very noisy. Bathroom sliding door very awkward to use. This isn’t something that bothered me as I knew prior to arriving but you are around a 20 min walk from the temple bar area so this is worth noting if you are thinking of booking this hotel.

Big comfy bed

Bathroom door came off it’s runners and didn’t shut

Had a lovely weekend there. Lovely upgrade for my 40th. Good January rates. Amazing facilities and most importantly lovely staff. Thank you for a great birthday weekend.

Nothing

Very cosy interior. Beautifully decorated. Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet.

A little dirty: sink was dirty, bed frame was scratched and shower seemed to have just been used before we arrived (the bathroom was very warm and the ground of the shower was drenched).

Lovely staff ❤️ Got a nice room upgrade for my birthday. Love Power gym. I’ll be back

Beautiful decor, staff very helpful.

Our room wasn’t in main hotel it was in the town house 2 doors down and you had to walk through reception out of the building through a court yard and into another building that looked out on to a carpark. Room was very small with only a sliding door to bathroom which did not seal.

The location was great and it had a good vibe

The coffee machine in the bar area was out of order for a week and nobody had the presence of mind to get a kettle so that they could still serve hot drinks. The room felt a little battered.

Nice decor, love the roof top bar

I was not made aware that I was booking a separate building that is not actually connected internally to the main hotel. The room was tiny also

Loved the modern style, cool decor, location and proximity to city centre

We stayed in the StJames suite, which was very cool! Loads of space for. our family of four. The room was very clean and all of the staff were so helpful. An amazing restaurant and bar too

Our only downside was the noise level of the surrounding nightclubs hence why earplugs were provided!
