Would definitely go back!

This was a beautiful, modern hotel with comfortable bedding, great food and drinks. Everyone was super friendly. I wouldve given it a 5 star if it wasnt for the handicapped bathroom. We got assigned what looked to be a handicapped room. Even though it was a gorgeously designed bathroom, it wasnt functional for us. There was water everywhere. We had to dry up the floors after every shower. And, the worst thing... theres a full length mirror right across the toilet! No one wants to see themselves fully when sitting in the potty! Other than that, it was perfect.

Disappointing Stay — Definitely Not 4-Star Quality

The Dean Cork looks stylish at first glance, but the experience didn’t live up to expectations. Parking was inconvenient and far from the hotel, with no vouchers or discounts provided. The location next to the train station meant constant noise throughout the day and night, making it hard to relax. Our bathroom was clearly not cleaned properly — the floors had dried pink residue and what looked like old urine splatters near the toilet. A quick wipe with a damp cloth removed the mystery liquid, which made it clear that the floors hadn’t been mopped. The tea kettle had leftover liquid with floating debris, and the TV didn’t work, leaving us with no way to drown out the noise outside. While the gym looked nice, it was missing a few essential machines — still usable, but limited. The complimentary drinks also seemed to be missing any actual alcohol. Unfortunately, this hotel feels more like a trendy facade than a truly comfortable or well-maintained 4-star experience.

Noisy, limited dining, roof top bar restaurant closed both evenings of our stay, and very late opening of gym and restaurant in the AM made for a poor experience. Train is very loud and bathroom had no place to put your belongings while showering etc.

Best shower of any hotel! Could have done without the cutesy, cheeky vibes of this ultra modern hotel, but I'm sure others find it funny. It did mean the design was on-point and thoughtful. Good food at the restaurant too. Excellent location to walk around town, except for the late-night trains.
