Nice hotel in a great area for walking to most of the main sites of Dublin. I would skip the breakfast as there are other less expensive options nearby. But it is a buffet so if you are hungry it might be a good choice.

Good location and quiet. Room was nicely decorated, decent size and clean. Bed was very comfortable and linen was impeccable. Bathroom was large but outdated, with visible signs of wear and not very clean. Staff was nice.

Recently was on a trip with my husband to London Scotland and finally Ireland! We payed the most for our stay at Handel’s so we were excited to see what it was all about. Upon arriving, I noticed immediately the room did not match the photos. I went to express my concern to front desk and they said I would need to speak to a manager. I tried talking to the manager during the day and they said there was nothing they could do, I finally expressed enough concern that they reached out to the owner and he said because we did advance pay they couldn’t refund. Totally load of crap and got a complete run around. The photos do not match what it actually looks like The room is very outdated - they have an iPhone 4 charger for context The carpet is coming up and is very gross/sticky The bathroom is gross, not clean, grout and dirt on the walls They did not have anyone come refresh towels or clean Very hot and stuffy and they provide one small fan When I told the staff the photos didn’t match she said, it was only the view that differs by room which means their photos aren’t accurate Do not waste your money you can stay at nicer hotel in the area for cheaper

Handel”s hotel was a very nice hotel. It is close to all main attraction, restaurants, bars and stores. Staff were very nice. Room was spacious and clean. It would be nice for a ramp in front entrance. It will be a plus if had a microwave in rooms or at least in lobby. I recommend this hotel

First time in Dublin.
Employees were very nice and I’m sure lots of things are out of their control. First room (they called it a pod) was very very noisy. Was able to move to another room and it was much quieter but no AC but was still much better than the first room.

Convenient location. Most things are walking distance. No one mentioned breakfast isn’t included. €15 for poor quality food. They made every person wait until 3pm to check in and then they were backed up. Not sure why anyone couldn’t be checked in just a few minutes earlier when they arrived. No air conditioning in the room. 1 window barely opened. It’s next door to a pub where we heard them disposing their trash throughout the night. Didn’t sleep well at all.

Exceptional
Was a great stay in Dublin. Extremely close to everything, right on the edge of temple bar area and easily walkable to grafton street. We also found it very nice to be close to the river and to be able to walk across to the pubs and restaurants on the other side. Right beside Christ church which is the most beautiful church in Dublin in my opinion. We also walked to the Guinness Storehouse, Trinity College etc. so you can definitely walk to all the main sights from this location. Maria, one of the ladies at the front desk, was exceptional and gave us great recommendations for day trips out of Dublin by DART. You can tell it’s an old hotel with somewhat lazy renovations but that didn’t bother us at all, it was clean. Would stay here again!
