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

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.

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.

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!
