10/10 Exceptional

Gorgeous but flawed
Let me start with the Dean is gorgeous and has amazingly high-end finishes and amenities. You will want to enjoy the pool, sauna and steam room - take your bathing suits, such a great way to start/finish your days. We stayed 2 night in Cork, popped over to Galway for 2 nights and returned to the The Dean for our final night in Cork so we had 2 different rooms. Our first room was absolutely tiny and while the designers thought of everything from a turntable with records to a Nespresso machine, they clearly did not think of a place to put your suitcase or your clothes, other than the 5 pegs of the coat rack. No closet is tough. We were also on the west side of the building literally above the train station. I am not kidding when I say you can hear the announcements from the station, they start at 6:00am. We almost requested to switch rooms but we knew we wouldn't be spending much time in the room except to sleep. They provide earplugs but with the window open for ventilation, they did very little to block the noise. Our second room for our final night was larger which was great but still on the west side and still very loud with train noise. Currently there is a beautiful view from Sophie's (the bar/restaurant) deck but it won't be there for long since a large building under construction will block it. The west side location of the hotel is also a little far esp. if visiting your daughter at UC Cork all the way across town.

4/10 Fair

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

6/10 Good

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.

8/10 Very Good

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.

Lovely clean hotel, instantly feel relaxed when you walk through the door. Great facilities, huge shower and the pool and sauna/steam is easy to book and a great little place. Nice touch to have a little cocktail by the pool. Its also very easy to get around, with the train station right behind and within walking distance of all the bars and restaurants. We had no trouble with noise and slept soundly on the nice soft bed.

The Dean Cork was such a special stop off on our family trip to Ireland and we loved it here. The bar and bar staff were EXCEPTIONAL, best whisky sour I've ever had, in my life! The rooms were beautifully decorated, comfy, cool and chic offering a quiet safe haven to rest our heads at night. The restaurant was lovely, with views of the city area and the food and drinks were delicious. The staff at the restaurant was also amazing. The gym, pool and sauna areas were the piece de resistance and truly completed our wonderful stay, having a place to lounge and hang out was lovely and the merch was cozy and well made, I love my The Dean hoodie. This hotel was everything and more and we honestly can't wait to come back. Thank you!!!

10/10 highly recommended. Very modern, chic, and stylish hotel. Gym, sauna, heated pool, snacks, robes. Really checks off the vibes. Extremely clean, lovely restrooms, comfy beds. Location is great. 6 minutes walk away from the main Cork train station and 6 minutes walk to the aircoach bus stop. If I had to fault, there was some noise but never too inconvenient or bothersome. Overall would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely hotel
The hotel was very nice! Clean modern feel from the lobby to the hotel rooms! The showers were incredible! Staff was helpful and friendly. Great location in the city east to walk to everything and right next to the metro! Rooftop bar was great for the brunch we did and drinks were very tasty! Would recommend this hotel to those traveling!
