The staff at the hotel was super helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and had just the right amount of space. Also the rooms are outfitted with a great coffee machine and free water. May sound strange, but the shower in the room is amazing - something that is a wonderful luxury after sight seeing all day.

Super clean and aesthetically pleasing hotel! Everything is beautiful and carefully thought out. The room itself is a tad bit small but still works! The AC didn’t go below 18c and barely would blow during the heatwave Ireland was having and the drain in the shower wouldn’t drain so you stood in water. Other than that I would still recommend this hotel!

We stayed at the Dean Cork on a 8-day road trip around Ireland. Since we were driving a car we had hired, it took us a little bit of time to figure out the parking (in the train station parking lot). Staff at the Dean explained it to us and it made sense once we had parked. It was also easy to walk to the older part of Cork and to the English Market--maybe 15 minutes walk from the hotel.
