The windows are single pane so you can hear everything from the street below. There’s also very little soundproofing between walls. It was way too warm with no way to turn down the heat besides a fan.

Vicinity to Temple Bar area. Hotel was warm and safe.

Shower over bath was awkward and only rainmaker head. Taps at the sink didn't leave room for you to wash properly underneath. Was very odd placement.

Very good breakfast and very central location.
There was no window in the room that you could see out of. Only a skylight that was covered high up in the ceiling.

Room was lovely, comfortable, clean, and very spacious. Price was incredibly good for Dublin. We stay in Handels whenever we can because we always know we'll be comfortable and looked after. Plus the location is excellent.

There was nothing we didn't like about our stay, as booked, although we were surprised to discover there's a fee for early check-in - but considering the overall cost of the room it really wasn't a big deal.

The location in the city within walking distance of nice things to see. Breakfast was ok. The staff was very nice.

A lot of noise from the street. Poorly insulated windows. Bad mattress.
