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.

The Dean was a great new hotel, just not super welcoming until we checked out. There were no/missing washcloth’s in the room, and pricy minibar. The shower was the best part!

This place was great! New and cool. Our entire group loved this place! We did not hear the train at all. They provided ear plugs if they were needed. They kept our luggage after check out while we explored the city and we easily hopped on the train for our next destination.

Modern with lots of fun, campy touches. They gave us sweet fruity shots at check in. The rooms are like modern vacation cabins with board and batten walls, there’s a turntable with a few classic rock LP’s and a little Marshal amp, an orange Smeg mini fridge, an old classic black dial telephone on the wall. The bed is comfortable, all white with good duvet. Bathroom is spacious with good amount of counter space. We really like this place and are glad we didn’t get the staid traditional hotel we almost got.

Located next to the train station and near buses, The Dean is an easy walk into town. The Hotel is easy to access for day trips if driving. Hotel was clean and staff friendly. There is construction nearby, but we did not notice excessive noise and are light sleepers.

So much space! Modern and stylish, great location and staff was helpful in setting up Black Cab tour (highly recommend). Lots of restaurants right out the doors and walkable to many of the tourist sites. Felt like we were living in Belfast, not just visiting. Free laundry was a nice touch!

Loved the rooms here. We arrived on Easter Sunday and they had Cadbury chocolates in our room upon arrival, which was a nice touch. Our room was incredibly unique and enjoyable. Very close to train station. Restaurants around hotel were excellent, especially Gallagher's.
