Trendy hotel, central, parking nearby, access to great shops and food
Nasira, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Yu, 2-night trip

Very nice hotel, smartly decorated, and a lovely bar/restaurant area at the top. Terrible breakfast though!

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
Greg, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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!

6/10 Good

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

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

Loved it! Spa is quaint and quiet! Rooms are very, very cute! Love the shower!
Jamae, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
