We had a lovely stay here at the start of October '24 - the hotel has got a young, modern, industrial vibe throughout. There are definitely Pros and Cons with this hotel - but Pros absolutely outweigh the Cons:- Pros: 1.The staff are so lovely, welcoming, attentive and professional - they're just fantastic. 2.The location of the hotel is pretty good for the city centre. 3.The rooms are decent size and are clean and modern. 4.The beds are unbelievably comfortable. 5.The food in the restaurant is excellent quality, delicious and decent sized portions. 6.The showers in the en-suite have got really decent pressure and nice toiletries 7. Sophie's Restaurant has a lovely covered terrace, with a great views to the Port of Cork and the rest of the city. Cons: 1.No wardrobes in the bedrooms - but coat hooks and hangers, are provided. 2.No room safes - so you have to leave all of your valuables in your locked luggage or you have to carry them with you - not ideal for a long stay. 3.Breakfast choices (for us) were a little bit limited - there are about 16 predefined choices, which were all cooked to order(they were delicious). However, individuals items such as toast and other cooked items(sausages, hash browns etc) didn't appear to be available unless they were part of one of the predefined choices. This may not have been the case but it didn't seem like we could just order 'off menu'. 4.The weekends are busy and noisy - not great if you want to chill and relax at the weekend.

‘The Dean’ is an unusual hotel. I think it’s a hotel. There are bedrooms and showers but it doesn’t call itself a hotel. It’s more a concept, I guess, possibly designed by AI. The building itself looks like a misshapen lump of coal. The reception area borrows from high street retail with elements of a leisure centre. The reception desk is like the merchandise stand at a concert. The decor throughout is dark with lots of geometric patterns. Don’t go if you’re susceptible to migraines. Our bedroom seemed to be aiming to copy the inside of a metal shipping container. Except it wasn’t rectangular. There was a triangular desk to fit into it. If the designer was aiming for quirkiness in the room he/she/AI got it. There was a record turntable and 2 strange LPs (charity shop I’d guess) on the desk so no room to use it as an actual desk. But the range of purchasable stuff in the room was amazing: bathrobes and about 40 items of food / drink. And there was a free condom!! No wardrobe though and only one chair to sit and consume all the goodies. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. The staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous but flawed

Let me start with the Dean is gorgeous and has amazingly high-end finishes and amenities. You will want to enjoy the pool, sauna and steam room - take your bathing suits, such a great way to start/finish your days. We stayed 2 night in Cork, popped over to Galway for 2 nights and returned to the The Dean for our final night in Cork so we had 2 different rooms. Our first room was absolutely tiny and while the designers thought of everything from a turntable with records to a Nespresso machine, they clearly did not think of a place to put your suitcase or your clothes, other than the 5 pegs of the coat rack. No closet is tough. We were also on the west side of the building literally above the train station. I am not kidding when I say you can hear the announcements from the station, they start at 6:00am. We almost requested to switch rooms but we knew we wouldn't be spending much time in the room except to sleep. They provide earplugs but with the window open for ventilation, they did very little to block the noise. Our second room for our final night was larger which was great but still on the west side and still very loud with train noise. Currently there is a beautiful view from Sophie's (the bar/restaurant) deck but it won't be there for long since a large building under construction will block it. The west side location of the hotel is also a little far esp. if visiting your daughter at UC Cork all the way across town.

This is the third time I’m leaving a review, but apparently Expedia doesn’t want me to rate this property badly so it keeps taking me round and round and round. Don’t book here!
