Overall a decent experience at Handel's Hotel. The staff was super lovely and helped with all issues. The location was as expected, being right in the middle of Dublin City Center. Definite pros and definite cons.

Lovely place to stay off of the hustle and bustle of Temple Bar area. Our room, unfortunately was adjacent to the next door bar, which was fine until closing time around midnight each night when the moved all of their outdoor furniture in and closed up. Super noisy for about 30 minutes. Other than that, everything was great!

This was a great property to stay in. Right on the edge of all the action but without all the noise that comes from the Temple bar area. The staff were great and the food was good too. The drink prices at the bar were a bit expensive though. Only drank there once. The room was clean and spacious and everything worked like it should. I'd stay there again.

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.

I can only speak to my room and floor. The fixtures are dated (some working some, not so much) and the carpets are in desperate need of replacement. Although the linen and bathroom was clean, the dirty carpet and dated fixtures give the room a dirty feel. The breakfast foods were a bit overcooked and the pricing was higher than local breakfast spots. The staff were all great, friendly and caring.

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

Handles is a great property if you want to stay close to the action hit fat enough away that it’s still quite. The staff was great and super friendly. The hotel itself is nice and clean. I will absolutely stay here again my next time in Dublin.

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.
