Sabina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms and all common aread are charming, super clean, and have great amenities. Every interaction with the staff was great. The lobby bar and rooftop terrace restaurant were exceptional. Breakfast at Sophie’s on the rooftop is a must! The location is great with perfect access to the train, car parking, busses and a very vibrant business district. I can’t recommend The Dean Cork highly enough. I would come back to Cork just to stay here.

Not a great night sleep

Our stay Started off very strong. But failed at the service in the hotels restaurant. Very very slow. Other customers received their drinks and food well before us and then we were rushed out. The bed also was two twin size beds pushed together to create a king size. This was not desirable or described in the room description. Location however, very convenient. Just wished the room and service was better.
Julia, 3-night trip

Very fun hotel, Instagram worthy, if that is your thing.
Beth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

On a business trip Room was overlooking the railway. Powerwashing engines seemed to go on all night then trains started up at 5am Should have been advised. Earplugs provided in room but when on business and catching an early flight you worry about not hearing alarm. Never slept. Will not use again

Loved our stay at The Dean Cork. Clean, well appointed rooms and plenty of amenities. Hotel is in a great location close to the train station and walking distance to the city centre. Will definitely return!

Rooms were small… no wardrobes Too funky!
Graham, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
C, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

So much space! Modern and stylish, great location and staff was helpful in setting up Black Cab tour (highly recommend). Lots of restaurants right out the doors and walkable to many of the tourist sites. Felt like we were living in Belfast, not just visiting. Free laundry was a nice touch!
Pauline, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Noisy, limited dining, roof top bar restaurant closed both evenings of our stay, and very late opening of gym and restaurant in the AM made for a poor experience. Train is very loud and bathroom had no place to put your belongings while showering etc.
Kelly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We took the train to Cork and the hotel is right behind the station. Noise not an issue. Staff was great and the whole vibe of the hotel is fun. Minutes by foot to all kinds of food and drink. Highly recommend.
Bruce, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Modern with lots of fun, campy touches. They gave us sweet fruity shots at check in. The rooms are like modern vacation cabins with board and batten walls, there’s a turntable with a few classic rock LP’s and a little Marshal amp, an orange Smeg mini fridge, an old classic black dial telephone on the wall. The bed is comfortable, all white with good duvet. Bathroom is spacious with good amount of counter space. We really like this place and are glad we didn’t get the staid traditional hotel we almost got.
William, 1-night trip

Great hotel - very clean, lovely spa, perfect for a weekend.

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

Great room! Very nice service, loved the Valentine’s Day service too! Grateful and happy to have stayed with you !
Pavel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
