We had a lovely stay here at the start of October '24 - the hotel has got a young, modern, industrial vibe throughout. There are definitely Pros and Cons with this hotel - but Pros absolutely outweigh the Cons:- Pros: 1.The staff are so lovely, welcoming, attentive and professional - they're just fantastic. 2.The location of the hotel is pretty good for the city centre. 3.The rooms are decent size and are clean and modern. 4.The beds are unbelievably comfortable. 5.The food in the restaurant is excellent quality, delicious and decent sized portions. 6.The showers in the en-suite have got really decent pressure and nice toiletries 7. Sophie's Restaurant has a lovely covered terrace, with a great views to the Port of Cork and the rest of the city. Cons: 1.No wardrobes in the bedrooms - but coat hooks and hangers, are provided. 2.No room safes - so you have to leave all of your valuables in your locked luggage or you have to carry them with you - not ideal for a long stay. 3.Breakfast choices (for us) were a little bit limited - there are about 16 predefined choices, which were all cooked to order(they were delicious). However, individuals items such as toast and other cooked items(sausages, hash browns etc) didn't appear to be available unless they were part of one of the predefined choices. This may not have been the case but it didn't seem like we could just order 'off menu'. 4.The weekends are busy and noisy - not great if you want to chill and relax at the weekend.

‘The Dean’ is an unusual hotel. I think it’s a hotel. There are bedrooms and showers but it doesn’t call itself a hotel. It’s more a concept, I guess, possibly designed by AI. The building itself looks like a misshapen lump of coal. The reception area borrows from high street retail with elements of a leisure centre. The reception desk is like the merchandise stand at a concert. The decor throughout is dark with lots of geometric patterns. Don’t go if you’re susceptible to migraines. Our bedroom seemed to be aiming to copy the inside of a metal shipping container. Except it wasn’t rectangular. There was a triangular desk to fit into it. If the designer was aiming for quirkiness in the room he/she/AI got it. There was a record turntable and 2 strange LPs (charity shop I’d guess) on the desk so no room to use it as an actual desk. But the range of purchasable stuff in the room was amazing: bathrobes and about 40 items of food / drink. And there was a free condom!! No wardrobe though and only one chair to sit and consume all the goodies. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. The staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Great hotel, very modern. Restaurant Sophie's has great food, room service was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a car, so there is paid parking at the train station, however depending on the time you arrive there may be very limited parking, but it was definitely a better option than trying to stay in central Cork, it was all very central and you could easily walk to things. Would go back to this hotel if I am ever back in Cork!

Finding a park or place to Checkin was very difficult and created significant stress - finally had to illegally park in front of hotel to be told we had to circumnavigate the route again to get parking in the rail station car park - whole experience terrible and they don’t post any tips for guests Otherwise hotel nice but on the train line so noises from 6.30am Good beds and room was great Guy on reception very nice but clearly gets grief over parking and no one to help with bags if you needed it Overall good hotel but if you are driving ring first for directions

Great, hip property. Rooms are small, but well thought out. Walkable to restaurants. Parking not available onsite, but easy solution at the train station next door for us. Depending on time of arrival, parking is probably the hardest thing to navigate.

The hotel itself was great. A great visual asthetic and the amenties were top notch. However, we were put in a room next to the room where the hotel hosts wedding receptions and it was incredibly loud. Although it appeared that there was a buffer area, it did absolutely nothing. It felt like being outside a nightclub until midnight. For the next hour, we could hear the staff vacuuming and cleaning, even while wearing ear plugs. We called the front desk at 11:20 pm about the noise level and were told it would be finished in 10 minutes, it was not. We brought it up again at check out and were offered a sorry. A disappointing experience especially paying $400 CDN to not have a restful night.

Excellent staff. Wish breakfast was included - I had thought it was when I booked but the coffee van outside the door was nice. Terrific gym - well equipped and nice staff. A small hike to city centre but close to lots of great pubs etc. Hike was not too much. Loved how close The Dean Cork was to the train station...super convenient. Would stay there again happily.

The hotel is beautiful and so is the rooftop terrace in the restaurant. The place has a really cool vibe and the rooms are very well decorated and clean. My room backed onto the train station which was very loud. The staff at breakfast really let the experience down, with me asking 3 different people for a coffee and 2 different people for the bill. I would have overlooked it had it of been busy, but the restaurant was nearly empty. It wouldn’t put me off staying again but something I would factor in if I was short on time in the morning.
