Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: This hotel is great. I had previously stayed in their other hotel in Dublin, so I was keen to get back. The staff is extremely friendly and kind. We had a little issue with our room, as the rail workers decided to drill at 1am and they promptly moved us to another room. The gym is superb, new machines and clean. The pool is nice too. Brekkie and food in general are a bit pricey and not over the moon, but the bar is a great spot to hang around, with nice views from Cork.

Summary: Great hotel. Train noise at night woke us up

Summary: Loved how convenient the hotel was to the train station and to the pick up spot for buses to/from Dublin, as well as the sightseeing daytrip buses. The rooms and lobby are very well designed and beautiful, with fun touches like Smeg fridges and record players in the rooms. Unfortunately the record player in my room didn't work, and I was told by the receptionist that they are "transitioning to being just for show" which is a nice way of saying "not being maintained". Overall it feels like a very nice hotel that's a few years into its life and those flashy touches are starting to show signs of age.

Summary: This was a beautiful, modern hotel with comfortable bedding, great food and drinks. Everyone was super friendly. I wouldve given it a 5 star if it wasnt for the handicapped bathroom. We got assigned what looked to be a handicapped room. Even though it was a gorgeously designed bathroom, it wasnt functional for us. There was water everywhere. We had to dry up the floors after every shower. And, the worst thing... theres a full length mirror right across the toilet! No one wants to see themselves fully when sitting in the potty! Other than that, it was perfect.

Summary: The Dean Cork looks stylish at first glance, but the experience didn’t live up to expectations. Parking was inconvenient and far from the hotel, with no vouchers or discounts provided. The location next to the train station meant constant noise throughout the day and night, making it hard to relax. Our bathroom was clearly not cleaned properly — the floors had dried pink residue and what looked like old urine splatters near the toilet. A quick wipe with a damp cloth removed the mystery liquid, which made it clear that the floors hadn’t been mopped. The tea kettle had leftover liquid with floating debris, and the TV didn’t work, leaving us with no way to drown out the noise outside. While the gym looked nice, it was missing a few essential machines — still usable, but limited. The complimentary drinks also seemed to be missing any actual alcohol. Unfortunately, this hotel feels more like a trendy facade than a truly comfortable or well-maintained 4-star experience.

Summary: I'm writing this to share information so people can decide if The Dean is right for them. The focus seems to be on appearance over the practical. The room lacked storage so my luggage was kept on the couch (which wasn't angled towards anything eg TV or a table anyway) and my laptop, make-up etc had to be left out on the desk rather than put away (i had to move the obsolete turntable to make space as it took up almost half the surface). The spot where a set of drawers would sit is occupied by a fridge stocked with overpriced alcohol and cans. There's no mirror above the desk. The shower is "rainfall" which i know is very popular, but when you want to keep your hair dry and there's no shower cap and the other outlet is only hip-height, a rainfall shower is a nuisance. There is a hairdryer, but the lack of mirror above the desk requires you to still on the floor near the door if you're going to use it well. You'd be directly outside the bathroom so would block the path of who you're staying with. (Interestingly, there is a mirror in the shower...) I had a couple of queries which weren't just about my taste so had to be discussed, including a faulty Nespresso which leaked and was dangerous, and these queries were responded to appropriately by the managing team who were spot on. My observations may be irrelevant for a lot of guests and I'm not suggesting a hotel room *should* include space to store clothes or a space to tidy yourself up comfortably. Make your own decision.

Summary: Excellent hotel with amazing vibe. Really fun to stay at The Dean. Highly recommend.

Lauren Jul 3, 2025 05:26:46 AM

Summary: 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.
