Overall, The Dean was a lovely hotel to stay at. We were very impressed with our room and the general "vibe" of the hotel. We enjoyed a light dinner and drink in the Elephant Castle bar and breakfast was okay up at Sophie's rooftop bar (although a bit expensive).

Restaurants were nice. Rooms were not very clean and really small. Hard to store luggage and toiletries. Right on main road. No parking available - public .5 miles from hotel. Expensive for these limitations.

Nice 3 star Hotel. I would suggest that the owner focus upon the basics, forget trying to be fancy and funny and just provide good service and food! Does their profile mention that they do not have parking?

lively decor, good location and great staff. wish we had a chance to use the pool but the bar and coffee shop were lovely. rooms are a little snug if you’ve got a lot of luggage and some towels were a bit beaten/threadbare, those were the only small drawbacks. would stay again!

Amazing

I loved the hotel, exactly as described . It was spotless, clever signage . All the staff were outstanding. Pool an gym set up were great. The rooftop restaurant was top notch. I slept so well there. Great mirror shower. Ask for extra coathanger s, as lack of storage was a thing. Treat yourself an stay there.
Terrific signage.
