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.

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.

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!

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.
