Not a great night sleep

Our stay Started off very strong. But failed at the service in the hotels restaurant. Very very slow. Other customers received their drinks and food well before us and then we were rushed out. The bed also was two twin size beds pushed together to create a king size. This was not desirable or described in the room description. Location however, very convenient. Just wished the room and service was better.

Modern and newer hotel. The shower was the best!!!! And while the room was small, it was comfortable and offered all we needed. We enjoyed breakfast one morning and it was delicious as was the fresh coffee. We also stayed for dinner one evening….wonderful pizza!!! The location is ideal for train travel, as the station is next door, but you never heard a bit of evidence that it was. A nice walk into Cork city center for sites like the English Market and the Cathedral. I would certainly stay at The Dean in Cork again. Thank you.

Loved the hotel itself- new, modern and felt like such a nice getaway! Our one (main) downside would be the location right next to the train station- the train horns and brakes were LOUD and came and left quite frequently. They left late into the night and started early morning, thus impacting a great night sleep. Nice for proximity of getting to/ from the train station, but keep in mind the noise! Otherwise we found the area to be fairly walkable, and enjoyed exploring the English market area!

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.

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.

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
