Great Location, New Hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Dean Cork! We were only in town for one night and opted to stay at The Dean thanks to its convenient location next to Cork Kent Station. The hotel is very nice, new. The room was small, but functional. We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here with my daughter and we were super impressed. The beds were so comfortable and the room was spotless. The pool area is fabulous and my daughter did a spin class. It was like a mini retreat. We would highly recommend it 💕

Modern, central boutique hotel

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.

Happy Traveler

Very nice accomodations. Excellent restaurant with view.
Phillip, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Carl, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Too close to

The hotel itself was fine but it is right next to the railroad station and very noisy trains run by all night. The provide earplugs.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was fine. We had problems with the shower drain which they fixed once but happened again. There is no place to unpack your suitcase.
Amy, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

This hotel was very nice, walkable to the city of cork and very modern. Lovely rooftop bar called Sophie’s on the top floor of the hotel. Staff were very friendly.
Gavin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent staff

a newish, modern designed hotel with many amenities (gym, restuarant etc.) Room was comfortable and location was central to transportation around the city of Cork. Staff is young and friendly and answered all our questions. THe ONLY down side was that our room was facing the Train station and it was a little noisy from the train horns which they blew off entering and leaving the station. Does not go on all night though so we slept well

This is my second stay at the Dean. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Room was clean, bed was comfortable and rain shower was a lovely treat.
Anne, 1-night trip

Great hotel in general. All public areas really nice and bars too. Only issue was the room is exceptionally small. Comfortable but small. I suspect there are larger ones available.

Great stay. Will definitely come back. Next time I will definitely use the record player in the room.
Scott, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel is next to the station making it convenient if you’re traveling by train. The staff at the front desk were really quite unwelcoming on arrival which left a poor impression. The rooms are well designed and had comfortable beds. The shower ran freezing which was quite unpleasant. The roof top bar was the highlight of the stay.

8/10 Very good

Good location & room. Rap music very intrusive even in the swimmjng pool. Hotel improved immeasurably when we returned late on Sunday evening when it was quieter
Philip, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was great apart from eating at the rooftop bar, Sophie’s. Service was less than good and food very underwhelming. The bar and reception in the hotel were excellent. Next time we come to visit, we will ask for a room not on the train station side!
Lisa, 3-night trip

Great room! Very nice service, loved the Valentine’s Day service too! Grateful and happy to have stayed with you !
