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.

Great location friendly staff very clean reasonably priced. Could not have been better.

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.
David, 1-night trip

Wonderful stay, comfortable rooms and great concept. Everything at Sophie’s was delicious. Definitely will be my hotel of choice at Cork.

Tasha, 1-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

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.

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.

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
Peter, 2-night trip

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.

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.

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 !

10/10 Exceptional

Highly Recommended

This was my first stay at The Dean Cork, I had a great time. The hotel is in an excellent location beside the train station and only a 5 minute walk to Cork city centre. The staff were amazing and no request was too big or small. Sophies roof top bar and restaurant has an excellent variety of food and drinks, especially the cocktail menu. As a guest, you also have access to the hotels Power Gym, pool, sauna and steam room, which is a great feature for a city centre hotel. The room was comfortable, clean and had plenty of space with a fully stocked mini bar. The only draw backs are that the room didnt have much in the way of storage capacity and there is no onsite parking. Parking is available in the train station next door for an additional fee. Overall I would highly recommend The Dean Cork to anyone thinking of exploring Cork.

6/10 Good

This is a very nice hotel. Issue is it has no parking - or reduced rate with something nearby. What it DOES have is a very loud train and buss station just outside your window. Something not advertised obviously….they even place ear plugs on your nightstand.
