We loved our stay at the Dean! Great location, very walkable to all of the restaurants and shops. Customer service was also superb. The only downside was trying to find parking as they do not have a dedicated parking garage/lot.

Great location not too far from train station
The hotel has a unique character and the staff was friendly and highly responsive. Request a room in the back as the first night we had a room facing the street and the noise kept me from sleeping. The staff happily relocated us for the second night and the room was very quiet and even offered a bit more room.

Very efficient check in. Nice room but NO storage - just a rail. Shower door too small so flooded the bathroom floor. Exceptional servicing of room - reset room each day as if we weren’t there. Didn’t need to ring down for anything. Bar staff need training - in speed and basic bar work - no ice or lemon in G&T in fact not even two glasses the same.

Was not made aware that we had to walk up a half mile hill with our luggage and pay for parking. Room very small and dated. Would not recommend. Staff very friendly and helpful but someone needs to make people aware of the problems.

We loved our stay at the Dean. We got upgraded which was so nice and our room was beautiful, it was the best shower ever. The hotel has a coffee bar downstairs & my latte was great, they also had a rooftop restaurant Sophie’s which was also amazing. We highly recommend!

hip vibe
We stayed here for a night. The place is funky and had lots of extra room accessories such as a record player. The hotel staff were attentive to the hotel guest. Able to hold our luggage. The room was clean and had two rooms as we had 4 people. We did have two teenages girls with us and the pullout bed was really not suitable for them in length. It was not a true bed that would fit the kids. They also forgot to sheets and linen. The kids did not get the best sleep. And our bed had a weird center divit. We ate at the rooftop restaurant. The service there was a little lacking and the menu/food was not that great (Steak mostly fat; pizza burnt) with slow service and forgetful of our drink orders. Our waitress just seamed overwhelmed. Even with all of this; I really enjoyed this hotel. Easy access to the city. Eye Candy.

Kitschy, nice hotel but need more comfort than got
The hotel is very kitschy… which is nice. My biggest issue was the room.. We had a king sized bed… assuming the room would be bigger (I know.. it’s Europe).. but the bed was practically the size of the room. No closet … luggage did fit under bed. A turntable took up a lot of space on desk.. I guess being older (64yo) we need a little more comfort … good for a 20 something.

Would have given the Dean a 5 star, but the bed was the most uncomfortable bed that we have slept in anywhere we have stayed. Everything else was great.
