Will definitely stay here again. Staff were really friendly and helpful, and were more than willing to accommodate us when we needed to make changes to our booking last minute. Rate was very reasonable, and the room was clean, spacious, quiet, and kitted out with everything including an iron and ironing board. Bed was comfy, and the bathroom was also spacious and clean, with a full bath and a great shower. We wish we had found this spot sooner, because our other recent stays in Dublin have been similarly priced but nowhere near as nice.

Guest reviews
Handel's Hotel averages 3.9 out of 5 across 554 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Excellent hotel just a short walk to Dame street and Temple bar area. The rooms are spacious, well furnished and spotless. The coffee maker in the room was excellent. Staff at reception were polite and very fast and efficient.
Literally the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I stayed here in November/December of 2024 so hopefully things have gotten better since then. Upon arrival, exhausted after just having had food poisoning, we finally get to the room only to find out the bathroom didn’t work. The toilet did not at all flush, the towels had stains, there was rust all over the bathroom and it was just very unpleasant. There were also electrical currents running through the plugs that you could hear. Like when you plugged the hair dresser in you could hear the electricity which I’m pretty sure is a fire hazard. We call the front desk to talk about the toilet issue and they inform us that there is nothing…
