Very nice hotel, but if you're a light sleeper, request a room away from the train station and the gym.We were given a room directly above the gym and I was awakened at 6 am with loud, thumping music.I spoke to the hotel staff and they kindly moved us to another room.

Clean rooms, walkable. Small and not a lot of room to store luggage. Our room heard a lot of noise from the trains. Also, one night a large trucked idled for a very long time and it was very loud! The shower though— 10 stars!

Excellent birthday trip

Had a fantastic time at The Dean - two nights to celebrate my partners birthday and it was very special. We really enjoyed the use of the facilities (gym, pool, sauna/steam) and had a delicious dinner at Sophie’s up on the top floor. The room was gorgeous and the bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept on!! Would love to return.

Dean Cork

We enjoyed our stay at the Dean Cork. It is next to the Cork Train Station, so very convenient if you are traveling by train. It is also only about 1/2 mile from the bus station. The staff were great. Also liked our dinner at Sophie's on the 6th floor

This is a very new modern Hotel which is located very close to the train station which is great for travelers. The location also accommodated for reasonable walking distance getting to the mainstreets of the City Primary dining and Pubs. The hotel decor was very upbeat & modern. My room unfortunately faced the tracks so I heard the rail noises. The hotel did provide ear plugs. I like the fact that there was a bar lounge on the main lobby as well as a Restaurant at the top. The food I ordered was very good. However I did note that it's primarily a pizza serving menu. The Waiting and Bar staff were really friendly. The room size was decent the bed was comfortable. There was plenty of in-room items for purchase including the bar fridge which was a nice perk for accessibility. Price range was a bit high, failing to realize the cruise ships coming in. August being in the peak of tourist season.

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!
