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.”

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.

Cosy but a little dirty.
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).

Very well decorated and a handy location.
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.

Fun but some basics were missing.
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.
12 January 2025
Great location and love the style of the hotel
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

Despite my negative comment it wouldn’t prevent me from staying again, I loved it!!
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!

Great location, decor, facilities, staff. Outdoor pool, sauna, gym, Sophies bar excellent.
Stayed in the townhouse. Room was lovely - spacious, clean, warm, quiet and with complimentary nespresso coffee, tea and water. Really good gym facilities, showers, etc. for a city hotel and the outdoor heated pool was a really pleasant surprise, as was the sauna. Staff were lovely. Decor was lovely throughout and Sophie's rooftop bar by night a delight.
Sauna should be ready to use (hot) at all times the gym/pool are open. Should provide robes for guests to go from the room to pool/gym.

Excellent stay with great amenities
Great location and facilities. Easy booking and helpful staff. Really nice gym/spa facilities, great bar and excellent breakfast options.
We stayed in both the penthouse and then the hi-fi room. Both could have been cleaner and better maintained (there were quite a few things that were broken - window fixings, toilet seat, taps….). Not a big deal but when paying that kind of price, everything should be exceptional. Also, the foosball table that was advertised in the penthouse listing was missing from the flat.

Great stay- will definitely be back
stayed here for one night in room 407 and I would highly reccomend it, the room was so spacious & very clean. There were also so many nice amenities like a vinyl player & a speaker. The fridge in the room was fully stocked with different bits which was nice and there was extra room to put our own drinks in it! And the bath/shower was so good ! We parked at the Stephen’s green Q car park which is about 8mins walk away from The Dean and reception then validated our ticket so we got a discounted rate which was €29. Reception also took a €50 damage deposit fee at check-in but this was refunded back soon after check-out.
I did think it was slightly noisy in the morning with other guests etc walking around & we could hear music at night time but we were on the 4th floor which seemed to be a quieter area so it wasn’t loud enough to be an issue! The hotel staff did also advise us of possible noise disturbance due to the location which is fair!

24 hours in Dublin!
Rooms were really quirky and good size Rooftop bar Sophie’s was really nice
Room was only available at 15:30 which wasn’t the best as it states 3pm

Excellent value for money
Breakfast wasn’t great cold but service fabulous. WiFi not great in hotel. Overall very good value for money. Keep the window closed, otherwise nightclub music will wake you up. Beds very comfortable. Reception check very professional and had our room ready early. Thank you. Rooftop bar is a gem and lunch was delicious
Breakfast but it’s not a big deal

Very pleasurable, fantastic location & facilities but poor bed comfort and loud noise.
The location is excellent, check-in was seamless, staff are super friendly and accommodating. The drinks and the reception area is fabulous, the room in general is fantastic, very spacious, very clean and excellent offerings within the room. I can’t fault anything except for the bed & noise levels. Overall, definitely an 8/10.
Our only two issues were the noise levels from the neighbouring nightclubs, & the discomfort of the bed. The noise levels from the nightclubs was advised to us upon check in & earbuds were placed either side of the bed, however, I feel this should be something that is flagged prior to booking or upon booking, depending on the location of your room. We stayed in 112 the Hi-Fi King Room, which I presume was a room closest to the nightclubs which didn’t help, additionally it was advised we’d have a city view room, this was not the case. There were fixtures from buildings completely blocking the view. Lastly, the bed, “Hi-Fi King Room” would imply a king sized bed, we discovered it appeared to be two beds put together, this was very uncomfortable as you could feel the split in the bed. There also seemed to be a zipper under the duvet cover which was also uncomfortable, the pillows were not great either and as a result I’m suffering with a stiff neck since. I understand the noise level is completely outside of the hotels control and they did advise us upon check in. However, the comfort of the bed and pillows should definitely be upgraded and if a view is advertised then it should be visible, or similarly to the noise warning, this should be advised upon check-in.

The bar is fantastic.

Sink didn’t drain - really needs fixing

Fabulous
Location to the city was excellent, the rooms were lovely and staff very friendly. Ear plugs next to the bed
Not their fault, the hotel is next door to Copper Face Jacks so the room was noisy at night.
25 December 2024
Convenient for a short stay in Dublin
Good location, very convenient for a short stay in Dublin. Nice decorations and vibe, especially in the cozy lobby downstairs.
The room could’ve been a bit cleaner and there should’ve been a warning about the noises coming from the nightclub next door. Staying from Friday to Saturday, I could barely sleep - but at least the earplugs were free…
24 December 2024

The loud music coming from the nightclub. It was very difficult to fall asleep as it was so loud.
15 December 2024
Top Class
Lovely hotel. Great location in the city . Staff very nice. No problem moving our room
We were told we were in a room that wasn't very quiet as it was above coppers. We moved in the end but wouldn't fancy paying the money and then not being able to move rooms. Luckily we were able to
14 December 2024
Nice but needs a touch up
Asked for quiet room and was facilitated thankfully 😊
Some of the fittings (toilet handle, shower needed refitting to the wall, they were hanging off)

The bedroom looking straight into other properties. Some additional window voile would have made me feel a little bit more comfortable

Christmas 🎄 Travels
The staff - So attentive & friendly Beautiful rooms & the location is amazing
You can hear everything from people chatting in the room the next to me to the people on the courtyard! The insulation is prob not the best feature

Really happy with stay
Interior design
We were in a room for a disabled person and there was no place to hang clothes
6 December 2024
Great location for a short stay
Very easy check in check out process lovely friendly staff for both. Bar quite small and with Christmas party standing in front of it getting to the bar was difficult so we went across the road to ivy gardens bigger bar and even though there was quite a big Christmas party still loads of room. Very pricey dinner and breakfast so ate elsewhere. Loved the location
Bar too small and food too pricey
6 December 2024
Beautiful but nosy construction next door
Hotel is absolutely gorgeous, staff are so intentive and friendly, beautifully decorated rooms and so comfy. Less then a 5 min walk to Stephens green, lots of available amenities in the hotel itself
There's construction going on beside the townhouse where we stayed, im a heavy sleeper but we were woken up by drills and banging at 7 in the morning.. that was the only downside to the gorgeous hotel
6 December 2024
Good but pricey
Comfy beds, good location
Tv did not work properly, some light switches did not work. More inconvenient than anything
5 December 2024
Great spot all round bar the bar isn’t worth it
Pool
Bar service was atrocious the girl there was giving out about the management not training her and took about 40 mins to serve a rotten drink
4 December 2024
It did the job nicely for a night!
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location and really nicely decorated
The room and bathroom were not thoroughly cleaned, there was quite a bit of dust in both rooms. The plug in the sink did not work and the room was far too hot, uncomfortably so. I did try to turn the temperature down but it did not work.
4 December 2024
Overall very nice
The property was very stylish and modern. The rooms were comfortable
I felt that the room was overpriced and was expecting something more special based on the amount I paid for the room

Great location, atmosphere, decor and staff were all extremely helpful and pleasant..

Pleasant
Great location.
The noise from Copperface Jack's next door. Coppers goes on till 5am. There were complementary ear plugs left beside the bed when we came back to the room. They actually did help a lot but I feel this should be something that's flagged before booking. It's obviously something that's complained about regularly if they feel the need to leave ear plugs by your bed as standard.

Fabulous
Location, cleanliness, modern,comfy beds.
Might need more sound proof internally can hear when door is knocked next door

The night shift stuff are very helpful. Thank You!
28 November 2024
Very good
The record player is a nice touch. The gym, sauna and hot tub were very nice.. staff were very nice and the restaurant upstairs provided a very nice breakfast. It is supposed to be an excellent restaurant for dinner too but we'll have to wait until our next visit.

Great bars, lovely food, clean, cracking shower, friendly staff
The beds were 2 singles put together and kept drifting apart. The pillows were not comfy.
25 November 2024
Always fun
The Dean is always a fun place to stay, this was our second stay here. It's always fun and funky and the staff are always helpful
The bathroom door set up was a little frustrating and it would have been good to know you had to request housekeeping / fresh towels

Almost everything!
Not much storage in the room or space
