Sehr zentrale Lage, sauber und modern
Pros:

Tolle Lage, sehr zentral. Waren leider nur eine Nacht.
Zimmer war sauber, überdurchschnittlich groß (2-Bettzimmer), modern eingerichtet, die Betten bequem, das Bad ebenfalls sauber und ausreichend groß. Freundliches Personal, Check-Out auch nachts um 3 Uhr möglich.
Wir würden definitiv wieder kommen.
Großer Pluspunkt für uns die Lage: direkt neben unserem Lieblings-Pub „Darkey Kelly‘s“. Das beste Essen der Stadt und jeden Abend live Musik! :-)

Excellent location in Dublin; hotel currently renovating.
Pros:

Handel's Hotel is in a great location in Dublin, a block from the River, at the edge of Temple Bar and around the corner from Christ Church Cathedral. The hotel is in the process of being renovated and we were in an older room with no air conditioning which wasn't great but we were only there one night so it didn't matter too much. I would make sure to request a renovated room when you are booking.

Buen lugar!
Pros:

Ubicación perfecta para quedarse en Dublín, estábamos muy cerquita de la zona de pubs, pero el hotel silencioso. Podíamos manejarnos a pie perfectamente.

Cons:

In camera neanche una finestra per far entrare un po di aria, finestre sigillate che davano su case altrui mamma mia che tiratezza

Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist super. Direkt neben dem Quartier "TempelBar".
Dennoch ist es ruhig weil es in der Seitenstrasse direkt neben dem Gebäude der Stadtverwaltung liegt. Alles gut bewacht und sauber.
Wer Full Irish Breakfast mag bekommt es hier. Es gibt jedoch auch Konfitüre und Belag.
Wenn man mit dem Auto unterwegs ist, kann man in einem Parkhaus in der nähe vergünstigt parken.

Pros:

Very Central location, lovely staff.

Cons:

I pre ordered some snacks and soft drinks to be in the room on arrival for my sons 16th birthday. We arrived and my order wasn't there, I had to ring reception to get them to bring it up. It was very disappointing.

No tienen accesibilidad para discapacidad,
Tienen toda la entrada de escaleras, no son capaces de ayudarte ni para sujetarte la puerta del hotel mientras subes a pulso maletas y carrito de bebé! Tienen un montacargas dentro tipo “quitamultas “ porque no nos dejaron usarlo
