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

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Bathroom was large but outdated, with visible signs of wear and not very clean.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

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
