When staying at this hotel make sure you ask for the opposite side to Railway station. Stayed for 1 night & distribution from railway station throughout the night & early hours of the morning, impact quality of sleep. Hotel overall is lovely but quality of sleep is poor. They provided earplugs in room , which don’t help at all.

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.

Modern and newer hotel. The shower was the best!!!! And while the room was small, it was comfortable and offered all we needed. We enjoyed breakfast one morning and it was delicious as was the fresh coffee. We also stayed for dinner one evening….wonderful pizza!!! The location is ideal for train travel, as the station is next door, but you never heard a bit of evidence that it was. A nice walk into Cork city center for sites like the English Market and the Cathedral. I would certainly stay at The Dean in Cork again. Thank you.

Loved the hotel itself- new, modern and felt like such a nice getaway! Our one (main) downside would be the location right next to the train station- the train horns and brakes were LOUD and came and left quite frequently. They left late into the night and started early morning, thus impacting a great night sleep. Nice for proximity of getting to/ from the train station, but keep in mind the noise! Otherwise we found the area to be fairly walkable, and enjoyed exploring the English market area!
