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

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.

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.

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!

Hotel is quite close to everything and convenient. That said, rooms are quite old and tired. There were water damage spots on the ceiling.

Hotel needs investment
The hotel is very basic. The lift stank of cigarettes. The room itself overlooked a noisy courtyard with bottles where people started clattering around from 6am. It was too hot to sleep with the room closed. The fan did nog help much. Air Con is needed die to climate change and increased temperatures.

Right in the city centre, walking distance to the pubs, restaurants, which is very convenient, we stayed late all 3 nights that we're in Dublin and we just walk to our hotel. Staffs are very friendly and helpful.
