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.

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.

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.
