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 💕

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Comfortable modern clean rooms
Only con is that there is no wardrobe space in standard rooms and it may be noisy if you have a room facing the train station with early morning trains etc.

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.

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
