Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.”

The Guardian review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.

We had a lovely stay at The Dean and will be booking again.

The location was great! Our room was lovely. We were in a Super Room in the original hotel. The room was big & spacious. Perfect for two people. The amenities were nice. The staff were lovely. We were able to get an early check in. There had been an error with my booking and I was charged for a cancelled room. They were quick to rectify the matter. My money was refunded straight away. My son used the gym facilities and was really happy with them. We had breakfast in Sophie’s the next morning and it was delicious.

The only downside about this property is the noise from the nightclubs. We were told when booking and at check in about the noise in the area. So we knew ahead of time what to expect. There were ear plugs provided in our room and we used them. To be honest this would not dissuade me from booking again.

Good location, bad sleep!

It’s located in a really good area, the staff were lovely and the gym and swimming pool are also great!

The noise, you are right next to a night club that doesn’t finish until after 3, if you’re going out it’s fine but if you’re home a bit earlier you can’t sleep. I did phone and ask if we could be moved which the hotel accommodated!

Beautiful hotel and great value for money!

The interior was very cool! The room was comfortable and incredibly beautiful. It was only a short walk from all the shops and pubs. We really enjoyed our stay!

The bathroom door was a little difficult to handle, it was one of those you could slide to open, and it did slightly come off the rod once or twice. And it didn’t shut properly, so it didn’t quite give you that much privacy. But all in all it wasn’t a big deal for us.

Cool place to stay. Not a great place to sleep due to the noise from the street

Close proximity to Dublin

Single glazed windows on to a busy street with a Luas and late night revellers even on a Tuesday night led to a poor sleep. If booking ask for a room not facing the street

Great location when seeking a night on the town.

The location was fantastic and found the room rate good value for money. Room small but had everything required.

It was a little stuffy when in room for a while.

Great location in Dublin

The hotel is funky and clean. All staff where friendly and helpful and food and drink was great.

We had a pod which was very small but ok if you don't plan to spend alot of time in your room.

Fabulous

Nice smiling staff. Cool rooftop restaurant, delicious food which is actually rare in Dublin.

The bathroom door was stuck. At check-in they take a deposit in case you empty the mini-bar or I don’t know. I’m a light drinker and it was uncomfortable for me too much drinks and another unhealthy things in the room. It would have been better if they had put any books or magazines on the the table.😉☺️ Be prepared that the deposit won't be available until a couple days later.

Nice relaxing city break

I loved the decor and it was very quite so got full nights sleep, Loved the hotel itself and Sophies was gorgeous. The pool was also gorgeous

That the room wasn't in the main building and we were not told about this before I also hated no natural light in the room as the window was blacked out

Great room, nice decor but the bath light stopped working and it was hard to have a shower. The roof restaurant flies were very bad and annoying when trying to eat. Amazing staff and great location.

Amazing hotel (but next door to a night club)

Breakfast was great (à la carte) in Sophie's. I love Sophie's, so I was delighted with it. The room has lots of thoughtful details and I couldn't fault it. The gym is amazing and I got 2 sessions in there. There is also a sauna and pool. We ordered some cocktails for the pool and that was really lovely.

The hotel is beside a nightclub and I could just not sleep. In fairness, the hotel provides earbuds to block out the noise, but I could not get used to the feeling of them in my ears so couldn't sleep like that either.

Overall, lovely hotel with great staff, I would go back in a heartbeat!

Great room, with generally good facilities. The pool was great. I had a problem with the heating in my room which was dealt with promptly, efficiently and with a smile.

I missed having access to TV, all TV was internet based, e.g. RTE player, Netflix, which was fine but I, personally love to have the option of the TV news in the mornings.
