Charming hotel in great location.
Very cosy tiny Mod Room unfortunately facing the pool on 1st floor , it is noisy from appliances being used and noise from the restaurants. Agility required for the very fitted bed.
We got a late rate deal so probably shouldn't be too surprised.
The Dean is a lovely friendly hotel in a great location.

Good for groups, but some uncertainties
Booked 4 rooms here on Sunday 29th, told
Peigs bar was open till 2, but came back to the hotel at 11.30 to be told that Peigs was closing as the bar man had to work in the morning. Porter served us in the reception area, bur disappointing all the same

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.

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!
