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.

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.

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.
