Style over substance

2.5/5, I wouldn’t recommend or stay again. Pros: the room is nicely decorated, and the bathroom has a spacious shower. Staff are welcoming enough. Can log into Netflix on the tv. Cons: The noise from the train station is not tolerable, with very loud noises from 4:30am until around midnight each day. Very small rooms, very little space on one side of the bed. The smell in the hotel is incredibly strong of lavender. There is nowhere to put any kind of luggage, no wardrobe or shelves. The shower is rainfall head with an additional small attachment too low down to use without holding it. No room service offered. Lighting in the bathroom is terrible for make up. Would be good to have a mirror at the desk, or a small shelf near the full length mirror. General amenities poor, have stayed in less ‘styled’ hotels which have given a better overall experience. Would choose another hotel in a better location next time.

The first night was a bit of a nightmare. They placed us in a room almost train station height on the train station side. 5:30 am we awoke to a train whistle and the smell of diesel from the train coming through our open window. The moved us to a room down the hall on the other side of the train station and it was a great experience. Nice pool, gym, sauna and steam bath. The beds were comfortable

This place was great! New and cool. Our entire group loved this place! We did not hear the train at all. They provided ear plugs if they were needed. They kept our luggage after check out while we explored the city and we easily hopped on the train for our next destination.

Style over substance. Lovely design but no wardrobe, no dressing table, no chest of drawers. Had to ask for an iron and ironing board. Can't cook a rare steak it was super overdone and ruined the whole meal. No room service when the restaurant is shut. Isn't that the point of room service. Under staffed in restaurant. Long waits for food even when done properly. Breakfast is good. Potatoes with everything. No snacks in the bar. Could do with better duvets and pillows. Very noisy on train station side. Make sure you are not on that side if staying here. Last night there was heavy drilling as they repaired a train in the station. Apparently no laws against this. The staff are very friendly. Enjoyed stay in spite of all the problems

Lovely hotel. Pity about the noise

Modern, stylish hotel, right by the train station in Cork. Great location and staff very accommodating for an early check in as I had an early flight. Bed was comfy but the pillows were terrible! Really surprising for a 4 star hotel. More annoying was the poor soundproofing of the room. The bar is very loud until midnight and we could hear outside noise as well as excited guests coming home, crashing past our room at 2 am! If you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you, at least on the weekend.

Central hotel with a great boutique hotel vibe … if that’s your thing. The bartender should have been as attentive to his customers as he was to his mobile phone.

Highly Recommended

This was my first stay at The Dean Cork, I had a great time. The hotel is in an excellent location beside the train station and only a 5 minute walk to Cork city centre. The staff were amazing and no request was too big or small. Sophies roof top bar and restaurant has an excellent variety of food and drinks, especially the cocktail menu. As a guest, you also have access to the hotels Power Gym, pool, sauna and steam room, which is a great feature for a city centre hotel. The room was comfortable, clean and had plenty of space with a fully stocked mini bar. The only draw backs are that the room didnt have much in the way of storage capacity and there is no onsite parking. Parking is available in the train station next door for an additional fee. Overall I would highly recommend The Dean Cork to anyone thinking of exploring Cork.
