Absolutely loved this hotel, already want to return. Room was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. The rooftop bar is lovely and the views are brilliant. Great place to base yourself, a small walk to the main streets and a very luxurious and comfy hotel.
Very clean and staff was super friendly. Parking was a bit hard to find but they helped when we had questions. Food was amazing for our first Irish breakfast.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to the train station, making it very easy to travel to Cork by train. It has everything you need and is also within walking distance of the attractions we wanted to see.
We enjoyed our stay at the Dean Cork. It is next to the Cork Train Station, so very convenient if you are traveling by train. It is also only about 1/2 mile from the bus station. The staff were great. Also liked our dinner at Sophie's on the 6th floor
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.
