Okay, but there’s better.
Place was okay. But it needed better cleaning and maintenance. Carpet in hall was filthy. Light bulb in room was burnt out.

Wouldn’t stay again
There was a smell from the sink that we asked could it be looked at. We were out for 3 hours and no one looked at it, was difficult to sleep, would not stay here again. Bed comfort was good, room size small.

Great stay
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.

Final night of vacation.
It was our last night in Ireland and we decided we needed to do the “tourist” Temple Bar. The Handel Hotel was exactly what we wanted to be able to walk to get our over priced drink.
The beds were very comfortable and the water was hot for the shower.
The staff was very helpful with our check in and our check out at the early hour.
The next time I am in Dublin, I will definitely have Handel Hotel on my list of accommodations

Two star hotel. Pretty dated. Noisy location in Temple Bar. Church bell practice going at all times of the night.
Cleaning staff left our door open. Returned that night to find nothing missing but a big scare. Front staff very nice. Cafe next door great for breakfast.

This hotel has so many helpful employees. They made our stay so much easier with booking tours, taxis etc. also very knowledgeable of the area
And things to do. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only complaint we would have is there is no late check out option. This would have been ideal and willing to pay for that service and unsure why it is not an option.

Lovely hotel at the end of Temple Bar. The lication was much quiter than being in the muddle of Temple Bar. Very good restaurants within walking distance. Close to several areas of interest. The room was comfortable but a little warm. The fan in the room made it fine. The staff were lovely and accommodating.

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Bathroom was large but outdated, with visible signs of wear and not very clean.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.
