Small room with only a skylight way up for natural light. Double bed against wall made it extremely difficult for us to get into bed at night. Sink was clogged for most of the days, asked for helped multipe days and finally someone unclogged it. Asked for minor room cleaning - new towels, trash emptied, body wash/shampoo filled - we were told housekeeping is only there from 3:00 to 4:30 - so it would happen when it would happen and we had to wait at a table until it was done. We are not messy people and pick up after ourselves everyday making sure everyitng is put away - and we were told we must have had some stuff on our bed is why our room was only partially made up on one day. Hair dryer button had to be held down in order to work, and then it heated up so I had to wait for it to cool before drying my hair. Was told that this was a standard hairdryer for the UK, but we didn't have one like that at any of the other 6 locations we stayed at in the UK. Location was great for walking to many of the area attracting including the train station and the locations where we met with two of our tours. Breakfast was stale and cold- pancakes and eggs.

We were pleased with the hotel, and their staff met all our needs with a pleasant and helpful attitude. Two slight comments to others. One is that there are two sets of short steps to reach the lobby. For anyone with difficulty with stairs this may be a consideration. Our room, while nicely done was tight for the three of us. Overall, we would stay again..

Great rooms albeit a bit dated. Room was very quiet despite being very close to temple bar area. Like most places in Ireland there was no ac so the fan was a must even in September. Was a bit noisy with the window open but once closed slept quite comfortably

Centrally located, everything was walkable. Quiet, but some nights there was music from bar down the street and it’s close to Christ church so you do hear the church bells (I found it very nice). The noise didn’t bother us at all, nor impact our sleep. The superior twin room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was everything we needed! I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Very Nice hotel front desk staff and service. Room was nice and spacious and very clean. Noisey at night time. Breakfast was not pleasant. Service staff serving in the breakfast area need to improve on customer service. I had a rude service staff member which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Great location if you want to be in Temple Bar but could do without the late night noise. It’s an older hotel with limited amenities (e.g., make do with a fan and an open window rather than AC), but the staff were terrific and there is a pleasant cafe with good food and coffee right next door.

Williams review.

My stay at Handel’s was defined by a room with no window and closet. In addition, there was limited drawer space. Given the activities in Dublin (Oasis concert), there was no chance to change rooms. That being said, the hotel staff was responsive in their respective duties.
