The room was spacious. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good. The location of the hotel was quite good. But the doors to the rooms slammed extremely hard every time they closed, so if someone came home at 3 am everyone could hear it. In addition, the cleanliness was somewhat poor, as I found several large dust mites, and there was a thread of dust across the room on the ceiling. I can't understand why they didn't see it, because that was the first thing I saw. But that said, I could stay here again.

This hotel's best asset is its location. You are never more than 15 minutes away walking from all the major tourist attractions.
The rooms are a bit dated, but for the price and location, it's worth it.
It's also a great place to stay if you are watching a gig at Vicar Street.

We had a terrific time in Dublin! The staff at Reception were exceptional (I believe their names were June, Clara, Alaina, and Olivia)! Super friendly, responsive to all of our questions, and even helped us figure out a hot water issue, like a plumber (thanks Alaina!).
The room was a bit tired and worn, but clean. The window didn't close properly and we heard a bit of street noise. The breakfast was tasty. Overall, we had a pleasant stay! TY ladies!

Handel's Hotel is very well maintained, modern and the staff are friendly and helpful. Their breakfast was hot, varied and delicious. Its a short walk to Temple Bar area and right beside Christ Church and Dublinia, both of which I highly recommend.

This was a great little hotel, just on the outskirts of Temple Bar, so it was easy to walk to everything but you don’t need to deal with the loud party noises. Room was great, staff was really friendly and helpful.

Hotel is in a very good location and staff were welcoming and helpful. Room was clean but in need of a bit of updating - mainly the bathroom. Double glazing in room not good - heard noise from road & church bells every 15 minutes. Looks like the hotel is in process of renovating. Could do with more comfortable pillows.

Great spot just across road from Dublin Castle. Easy walk to main attractions. Great places to eat right next door to hotel. Excellent seafood chowder at the pub. Staff were very helpful. Hotel a little tired looking in rooms and hallway but overall a nice place to stay. Can be a little noisey on weekends but to be exact extend for area.

We had to book this hotel last minute because the airline lost our luggage. They were great to work with and worked very hard to let us be able to check in early since we were stranded at 8am. They let us keep our bags there while they got the room ready and called us as soon as we could check in. Great location, close to Temple Bar but tucked in on a quiet street, very walkable to everything. Will definitely be staying again!

Triple room was perfect for our stay; weather was very warm which was great during the day but meant the room was warm overnight also.

Other than the smell of weed in the hallways it was a great place to stay. Staff was excellent, area perfect and easy to get to.
