Comfort, courtesy and attention of the staff. We expected a basic three-star at the 89 euro room-only price and got a modern well appointed room, and good service. We'll remember this for another date. Breakfast selection was good too. Location is opposite the Dublin City Civic Offices by Christchurch, well away from the noise of Temple Bar. Two parking places on the street might be lucky for a drop off.

Ideally they could provide a kettle and mugs in the breakfast room for people who like real tea. You can't make Barry's tea with the hot water from the machine that is made for herbal tea, it's not hot enough. And on the booking form, move the final checkboxes to ABOVE the signature box, I could not see them at first (expecting signature to be the end) and thought that the form did not work.

Lovely staff in a small hotel that is within walking distance of the core of Dublin. Easy to access tourist-y things like walking tours, if that's your thing. If not, you can quickly find all the shops, pubs and restaurants you could want. I gave it a 9 as I think it will deserve it once the renovations are complete (see below).

Renovations tarnished our experience, right down to flushing the toilet. A shame, as it appears to be a really nice boutique hotel. Additionally, we had to park in a parking building that was a few blocks away, with only a bit of a discount to that cost. This is better suited to people who are looking to walk to/from the Temple Bar district.

Location is excellent, about 2 mins to Christchurch. We were heading to a gig in Vicar St and it was less than 10 mins away. Room had everything you'd need and was spotlessly clean and had a reasonable price. We have stayed here a number of times and always been happy.

The noise of people talking in the corridor which started about 7am. We were on 1st floor and heard female and males voices. From conversations they beloved to staff and kept going on and off til about 9.30. If they were doing work/renovations in hotel we would have preferred to be warned in advance. We had never experienced this before when staying here

The location is definitely the strongest point of this hotel. It is close to everything! It is very close to Temple Bar (which is nice when you want to go fast to bed after a night out/restaurant). We never had to walk more than 15 min to reach all the things we wanted to visit. The staff is also super friendly! Check in can be done at any time (we arrived at midnight) without any problem. The room was very spacious.

Although its location (in a quiet street) in Temple Bar is amazing, it also comes with a disadvantage: it can be loud during the night when partying people go back home. We slept with the windows open since it was warm. I cannot judge when windows are closed. The bathroom is not the most practical. The shower head of the bath/shower cannot be moved. The sink has 2 faucets (cold vs hot water) so it is not possible to have a specific water temperature. In addition, the faucets are placed very closely to the sink edge so that it is impossible to use the faucet without having water everywhere.

I arrived at the hotel having booked in on line. Painless experience I have to say. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel smelled lush.. I asked for a rm change as I didn't want a rm opposit the lift. This was done with no fuss. Went to the room, it was clean and comfortable lovely coffee machine. Phoned down for a hairdryer as the one in the rm didn't work. The receptionist arrived with replacement, the original was working but I was not using it properly. All was done with a smile and very helpful. The bed was very comfortable! I was more than happy with my stay. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Only slight down side was the eggs at breakfast reminded me of those sweet eggs because they had been pre fried and had been in ban~ Marie for some time but for 14.95e I think it was ok. The coffee was gr8 as was the coffee in the room.

The room was comfortable and the coffee was very good! Excellent facilities. Shower very good and rooms clean and comfortable.

The staff were quite rude when we came to the hotel. We arrived early and they said they would call when room was ready. We came back at 2.30pm and sat waiting until after 3pm and they still didn't approach us for check in or ask if we would like any refreshments while waiting. Very impersonal and not friendly at all. Also, the cathedral was very close and the bells were constant the entire stay, right through the night.

Location was great. The room was very comfortable and big enough for three people with the three twin beds we requested. The staff were very friendly and helped schedule a cab for the ride back to the airport when the city was very busy. It was within walking distance to just about anything you would want to do in Dublin including Templar Bar area and restaurants, including nearby cafes for breakfast.

The temperature in the room could not be controlled and it was too warm with 3 people in it. The window could not be opened because it was raining and there was some noise below. The price was a bit high for what you get, however, this was because it was the NCAAF football game weekend when all the hotels were increasing the price.

I arrived Friday 4pm with my girlfriend. The lady at the front desk was exceptionally polite, friendly, helpful and professional. Also the gentlemen working behind the bar was quite patient with us, took time to answer our questions and go through the drinks on offer as we weren't sure what we were in the mood for. I wish I had asked for their names because they deserve a special mention for representing this hotel so well. The hotel was in an amazing location, so close to many great attractions like Temple Bar and The Olympia theatre whilst also just enough streets over to maintain a quiet peaceful atmosphere around the hotel itself. We encountered no noise issues and no problems in general. We left so happy with our stay and we will be visiting this hotel again on our next trip to Dublin.

Absolutely nothing. Everything met my expectations brilliantly.

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.

We didn't have any issues.

Everything. This hotel is worth every penny. The location is exceptional, just a short walk from the main attractions and evening pubs, yet situated on a quiet street. Comfortable beds, a spacious room, and a large, clean bathroom by local standards. They provided water in the room, a coffee machine is available for guests (remarkable for a 3-star hotel), and they even lent us power adapters. I would definitely recommend it, and if I return to Dublin, I would stay at Handel's Hotel again.

Nothing, everything exceeded our expectations
