We had to book this hotel last minute because the airline lost our luggage. They were great to work with and worked very hard to let us be able to check in early since we were stranded at 8am. They let us keep our bags there while they got the room ready and called us as soon as we could check in. Great location, close to Temple Bar but tucked in on a quiet street, very walkable to everything. Will definitely be staying again!

Great spot just across road from Dublin Castle. Easy walk to main attractions. Great places to eat right next door to hotel. Excellent seafood chowder at the pub. Staff were very helpful. Hotel a little tired looking in rooms and hallway but overall a nice place to stay. Can be a little noisey on weekends but to be exact extend for area.

Handel's Hotel is very well maintained, modern and the staff are friendly and helpful. Their breakfast was hot, varied and delicious. Its a short walk to Temple Bar area and right beside Christ Church and Dublinia, both of which I highly recommend.

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.

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.
