Guest Reviews
- William (10/5): - Lovely hotel and facilities
- Brandon (10/5): - Hotel was modern fun updated and clean. Quick walk to the train station bus terminal and places to eat.
- Terry (6/5): - We stayed here a year and a half ago, and it was awesome. This time I was so disappointed in it. We walked into reception and the music was so loud we couldn’t even hear the person checking us in. I booked a “super” room and what we got was a super SMALL room with hardly any amenities. Information I received about the car park was completely inaccurate. Breakfast this morning was disappointing as well. Service was slow, no one checked on us after the food was delivered. I don’t see us ever staying here again.
- Forest (10/5): - This hotel was amazing, the staff was friendly and professional… And completely helpful. Jesus provided lots of useful information for us so we had a good time at the local places. The hotel is conveniently located, the only bad part is they don’t have parking, but they do have a parking lot next to the train station that’s close by. The building itself is fantastic… And the highlight was Sophie, which is the restaurant at the top of the hotel. It provides an amazing view. And our server David was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the area. He made our experience wonderful. We highly recommend this hotel, this will always be our hotel when we visit Cork.
- D (6/5): - 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
- Catherine (10/5): - Super close to train station. Excellent restaurant. Very helpful staff.
- Shana (10/5): - Parked at the train station as it was a little more affordable. Beautiful property!
- Nasira (10/5): - Trendy hotel, central, parking nearby, access to great shops and food
- John Wade (10/5): - 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.
- Charles (8/5): - Very nice hotel, smartly decorated, and a lovely bar/restaurant area at the top. Terrible breakfast though!
- Sandra (10/5): - Absolute perfection
- Yu (10/5): - The hotel is conveniently located right next to the train station, making it very easy to travel to Cork by train. It has everything you need and is also within walking distance of the attractions we wanted to see.
- Darlene (8/5): - Nice hotel. Next yo train station so can be noisey.
- Marion (8/5): Good stay in Cork. - Hallways could be better lit. Staff excellent.
- Carl (10/5): - Enjoyed sauna, steam room and pool area. Parking is not on site which we knew upon booking but a walkable hotel to things.
- Robert (10/5): - Great interior
- DONNA (8/5): - 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.
- Phoebe (10/5): 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.
- Kelly (8/5): - 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!
- Greg (10/5): 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
- Pattie (10/5): - Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful
- Jennifer (10/5): - Great hotel! Very chic and fun!
- Aimee (10/5): - Great atmosphere and bar staff were great.
- SIADHE ANGEL (10/5): - 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.
- Andrea (10/5): - Great stay with lots of great places to visit close by.
- Gina R (10/5): Music - 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!
- Elaine (10/5): - Smart, contemporary hotel. Comfortable bed and the best hotel shower ever. 15min walk to city centre. Next door to station; convenient but noisy.
- Virginia (10/5): - Great staff room a little crowded but for just sleeping ok
- Verified traveler (6/5): Overpriced and overrated - 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.
- Lisa (10/5): - The staff were all friendly and accommodating.
- Sabrina (10/5): - Bed was very comfortable. The restaurant upstairs was delicious and the decor was very chic.
- Gustavo (10/5): - 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.
- Soltana (10/5): - The rooms were spotless, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful or kind. They were very knowledgeable and even shared great tips about the places we wanted to visit. The beds were comfortable, and the showers were excellent. If you need an iron, just ask, they’ll bring it up right away. We also enjoyed the sauna, which felt amazing, and the pool, which was relaxing and pleasant. The Sophi restaurant was fantastic if you want something light but tasty get the vegetable soup (it was absolutely delicious), and the breakfast was outstanding. Can’t wait to come back!
- Stephen (10/5): - Great hotel. Train noise at night woke us up
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 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.
- Craig (10/5): - Excellent as always!! Staff super helpful and the the restaurant is amazing. Can't wait for my next visit.
- Ramona (10/5): - We enjoyed the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, location and a fun, stylish room!
- Sean (10/5): - Great hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Need a better plan for parking.
- Mark (10/5): - Staff were awesome!
- Shannon (10/5): - Beautiful hotel with lots of amenities. Loved the pool and gym. Restaurant and bar were delicious. Rooms nice with amazing rain shower and bar fridge with snacks and drinks for purchase.
- Lisa (10/5): - Wonderful place
- Graham (6/5): - Rooms were small… no wardrobes Too funky!
- Thomas (10/5): - Really comfortable and convenient place to stay for a weekend break, the restaurant on the top was great.
- Liza (8/5): Would definitely go back! - 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.
- Kelly (4/5): - 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.
- Alexis (4/5): Disappointing Stay — Definitely Not 4-Star Quality - 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.
- Joseph (10/5): - Loved the workout area, roof top bar and the lobby bar.
- Bryn (10/5): - Best shower of any hotel! Could have done without the cutesy, cheeky vibes of this ultra modern hotel, but I'm sure others find it funny. It did mean the design was on-point and thoughtful. Good food at the restaurant too. Excellent location to walk around town, except for the late-night trains.
- Matthew (10/5): - Great Hotel
- Timothy (10/5): - Wonderful property! Rooms are beautiful. Staff friendly. Pool was great.
- Andrew (4/5): - Stayed four nights for a wedding early July 2025. Nice reception and rooftop bar and convenient for walking to downtown Cork. Parking was at train station next door and seemed safe enough but I think we got lucky finding an empty space and we did not move the car after parking it. Room was quite small but the major issue is that there is nowhere to unpack! There were 5 small pegs to hang suit and dresses (picture a piece of wood with pegs that you might use to hang keys near your front door) but nowhere to unpack anything else. Room was not big enough to have suitcases undone on floor so it really was a bit of a mess trying to get to clean clothes etc. There was a vinyl record player and Bluetooth speaker on the small table with a couple of records. If you like them it might be a nice touch but in reality it just took up most of the table so that there was even less available space! Shower and sink were slow to drain and shower actually overflowed after a couple of minutes. Spoke to reception and said that someone would be in to fix them. Went back in the afternoon and sink was better but shower not fixed. We had left towels on the floor to mop up the water and they were still there hours later. Complained and by we returned from dinner it had been fixed. Overall, not a great experience for average of ~260 USD/night. Would not recommend. Family and friends stayed at Premiere Inn down the road and their rooms had more space for less money.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Style over Substance - 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.
- Patrick (8/5): - The Dean was a great new hotel, just not super welcoming until we checked out. There were no/missing washcloth’s in the room, and pricy minibar. The shower was the best part!
- Gregory (10/5): Great Vibe Hotel ! - Excellent hotel with amazing vibe. Really fun to stay at The Dean. Highly recommend.
- Lauren (10/5): 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.
- William (10/5): - 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.
- Karen (10/5): - Very nice hotel Last minute booking Beautiful modern rooms with air Great restaurant Friendly staff Parking a short walk that you have to pay for .
- Verified traveler (6/5): Style over substance - 2.5/5, I wouldn’t recommend or stay again. Pros: the room is nicely decorated, and the bathroom has a spacious shower. Staff are welcoming enough. Can log into Netflix on the tv. Cons: The noise from the train station is not tolerable, with very loud noises from 4:30am until around midnight each day. Very small rooms, very little space on one side of the bed. The smell in the hotel is incredibly strong of lavender. There is nowhere to put any kind of luggage, no wardrobe or shelves. The shower is rainfall head with an additional small attachment too low down to use without holding it. No room service offered. Lighting in the bathroom is terrible for make up. Would be good to have a mirror at the desk, or a small shelf near the full length mirror. General amenities poor, have stayed in less ‘styled’ hotels which have given a better overall experience. Would choose another hotel in a better location next time.
- Joseph (10/5): - Nice hotel, friendly staff
- Jamae (10/5): - Loved it! Be sure to try the spa!
- Jamae (10/5): - Loved it! Spa is quaint and quiet! Rooms are very, very cute! Love the shower!
- Beth (10/5): - Very fun hotel, Instagram worthy, if that is your thing.
- Carl (8/5): - 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
- C (10/5): - 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.
- Amy (8/5): - 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.
- Andrew (6/5): - Style over substance. Lovely design but no wardrobe, no dressing table, no chest of drawers. Had to ask for an iron and ironing board. Can't cook a rare steak it was super overdone and ruined the whole meal. No room service when the restaurant is shut. Isn't that the point of room service. Under staffed in restaurant. Long waits for food even when done properly. Breakfast is good. Potatoes with everything. No snacks in the bar. Could do with better duvets and pillows. Very noisy on train station side. Make sure you are not on that side if staying here. Last night there was heavy drilling as they repaired a train in the station. Apparently no laws against this. The staff are very friendly. Enjoyed stay in spite of all the problems
- John (8/5): 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.
- Diane (10/5): - Great location friendly staff very clean reasonably priced. Could not have been better.
- Sabina (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay
- Chrisanne (10/5): - 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!
- Aileen (10/5): - 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 💕
- David (10/5): 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.
- Elizabeth (6/5): 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.
- Cheri (10/5): - This hotel was beautiful. Reminded me of. Moxy. Small rooms bit had everything we needed.
- Shane (10/5): 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.
- Ronald (6/5): - We were disappointed that we were put in a handicapped room without being told. The sink was way to low and the shower had nothing to retain the water. The room needed a luggage rack at the very least as there were no d rawers or shelves to unpack. We had breakfast in the restaurant and that was a good experience.
- Kim (10/5): - We took the train to Cork and the hotel was a quick walk away. (Use the down ramp at the station, it has a lift if you need it). It was a nice room, well decorated, a little tight for what I am used to but the sauna and pool made up for that easily. The city was in walking distance. Being so close to the train, we decided to take a ride to Cobh for the afternoon and evening. I think this hotel had a wonderful vibe and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
- Amanda (10/5): - Great rooms. Good location. Gym and pool a bonus!
- Siddharth (10/5): - Amazing experience. Strongly recommend
- Robert (8/5): - It had air conditioning
- Pauline (10/5): - 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!
- Peter (10/5): 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
- Jane (10/5): - Located next to the train station and near buses, The Dean is an easy walk into town. The Hotel is easy to access for day trips if driving. Hotel was clean and staff friendly. There is construction nearby, but we did not notice excessive noise and are light sleepers.
- Bruce (10/5): - 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.
- Holly (6/5): - Property location was great, large bathrooms in rooms, great rooftop restaurant and bar downstairs was great. Parking was difficult as the property doesn't have onsite parking.
- Ann (6/5): Disappointed - Cool hotel but the accommodations didn’t measure up. We were given a handicapped accessible room as that was all they had left when we checked in. When you showered the whole floor was wet therefore wasn’t user friendly. No hooks in the bathroom for towels. Rooftop dinner was lovely but service was very slow.
- David (10/5): - Great hotel & location, rooms a bit on the cozy side but well appointed . Food at Sophie’s is amazing , we ate in 2 of our 3 nights.
- Clare (8/5): - Fantastic hotel, however music pumping somewhere in the building wasnt yhe best when trying to get to sleep so used earplugs. Beds and room were fantastic. Amazing shower! Used rooftop bar which was nice duringvtge glorious weather despite overlooking building site.
- Nancy (10/5): - Staff was great! It's right next to the train station. Wonderful room.
- Patricia (10/5): - Na
- Allison (10/5): - Lovely hotel
- jennifer (10/5): - Loved the rooms here. We arrived on Easter Sunday and they had Cadbury chocolates in our room upon arrival, which was a nice touch. Our room was incredibly unique and enjoyable. Very close to train station. Restaurants around hotel were excellent, especially Gallagher's.
- Josh (10/5): - Really nice place, good attention to detail and great facilities
- Phillip (10/5): - Great hotel and location
- Tim (4/5): - The hotel is next to the station making it convenient if you’re traveling by train. The staff at the front desk were really quite unwelcoming on arrival which left a poor impression. The rooms are well designed and had comfortable beds. The shower ran freezing which was quite unpleasant. The roof top bar was the highlight of the stay.
- Harriet (10/5): - This is a stunning hotel with great amenities. I loved the gym and spa. The shower in my room was probably one of the best showers I've ever used. It was a easy to walk to the city; my only pain point was that there was an event downstairs on one of the nights, so it was extremely noisy.
- Matthew (6/5): - 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.
- Nicola (8/5): - Staff and decor was excellent. Fitness center fabulous. I was surprised that the bathroom in the bedroom didn’t have moisturizer/sewing kit or an iron. It just had the very basics. The surrounding area wasn’t very nice to walk around, especially with a small child. Despite these minor points, I wouldn’t hesitate in booking again.
- Owen (8/5): - Very relaxed atmosphere, short stroll to the City centre. Hotel was very clean & staff all very helpful & nice
