The property itself was very nice. However i stayed on the ground floor and it was pretty loud. My room over looked the pool so it was noisy when there were people out there. As well my second night there was a party in their basement floor and the music was super loud and didnt stop until 11:30pm. The walls were also very thin you could hear in the hallway and the people next to you quite clearly. I stayed in the Mod room so not sure if this is the whole hotel. How er, the staff were extremely lovely people and very kind. The room itself was very clean and the bathroom was great.

Stayed for 3 nights. Room very was clean and comfortable. Roughly 15 minutes walk to Latin quarter, 10 to the train station. Only downside is that rooms are not soundproof so the comfort quality comes down to your neighbours. Would recommend

Amazing anniversary stay at The Dean

Amazing anniversary stay, the staff were lovely. They upgraded our room and left us a celebratory bottle of wine which was so kind. We’ll definitely be back!
