Very nice hotel, but if you're a light sleeper, request a room away from the train station and the gym.We were given a room directly above the gym and I was awakened at 6 am with loud, thumping music.I spoke to the hotel staff and they kindly moved us to another room.

Clean rooms, walkable. Small and not a lot of room to store luggage. Our room heard a lot of noise from the trains. Also, one night a large trucked idled for a very long time and it was very loud! The shower though— 10 stars!

Excellent birthday trip

Had a fantastic time at The Dean - two nights to celebrate my partners birthday and it was very special. We really enjoyed the use of the facilities (gym, pool, sauna/steam) and had a delicious dinner at Sophie’s up on the top floor. The room was gorgeous and the bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept on!! Would love to return.

Dean Cork

We enjoyed our stay at the Dean Cork. It is next to the Cork Train Station, so very convenient if you are traveling by train. It is also only about 1/2 mile from the bus station. The staff were great. Also liked our dinner at Sophie's on the 6th floor

This is a very new modern Hotel which is located very close to the train station which is great for travelers. The location also accommodated for reasonable walking distance getting to the mainstreets of the City Primary dining and Pubs. The hotel decor was very upbeat & modern. My room unfortunately faced the tracks so I heard the rail noises. The hotel did provide ear plugs. I like the fact that there was a bar lounge on the main lobby as well as a Restaurant at the top. The food I ordered was very good. However I did note that it's primarily a pizza serving menu. The Waiting and Bar staff were really friendly. The room size was decent the bed was comfortable. There was plenty of in-room items for purchase including the bar fridge which was a nice perk for accessibility. Price range was a bit high, failing to realize the cruise ships coming in. August being in the peak of tourist season.

The Dean has very comfortable and stylish-fun rooms with turntables. Weather you have a view of the city or the train station, it is still quite. The lounge on the first floor is wonderful for writing and working and Sophie's restaurant has lovely food and a fabulous view!

Overpriced and overrated

Having heard rave reviews of the Dean, I was looking forward to my stay. We arrived and the check-in was easy. We had booked a super room primarily for the king size bed, yes to look at it you’d think it was a king size, but it was 2 single beds pushed together! Needless to say, the king fitted sheet didn’t do much to keep the beds together, at 1 stage, I thought my partner had fallen between the 2 beds!! The size of the room…cramped… if we had larger suitcases than hand luggage size, we’d be in trouble, even with small suitcases, there was no space to keep them. We came back after the 2nd day to find the room hadn’t been cleaned and had to ask reception at 9.30pm to sort it out. Booked the restaurant for the 1st evening, was nice but after 45 mins waiting for our food, I think anything would be nice. We only ate breakfast on the last morning, it was nice but slightly overpriced. The positives though…The staff particularly at the bar were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
