Great location on the edge of Temple Bar and next to Christ’s Church and the river, but was pretty quiet at night time. Bed was comfortable. Room was small but functional. No air conditioning but there was luckily a fan.

Ann United States of America

Our room was large, clean and well appointed. Good to be at the back and not on the street. We appreciated the fan and the nice bathroom. Comfy beds too.

Barbara United States of America

The location of Handel's is perfect - right on the edge of Temple Bar but not in the craziness. It was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was within walking distance.

Denise United States of America

Friendly staff; great breakfast; charming room; perfect location.

Suzanne United States of America

Excellent location. Close to Temple Bar area but not so close that it was loud. They allowed an early check in on first day..nice when you land at 5am.

Victoria United States of America

The hotel room was beautiful and well located close to the temple bar area but not in the noisy part so having the windows open at night was possible. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was gorgeous.

Theresa France

Location was amazing. Jakob was great at the front desk...let us know what was going on right around the hotel and beyond. We arrived on the exact day of a performance of Handel's Messiah right in the street in front of the hotel..280th (?) anniversary of debut. Plenty of places to explore, shop, eat, drink right nearby.

Joanna United States of America

I loved the location and the people working in this establishment! it’s right off a Main Street and is super easy to walk to the city center from here.

Sanchez United Kingdom

Great central location and close enough from the bar streets, yet there's no noise from the night life. Comfortable. Staff helped book a taxi for early morning hours and went as planned.

Jason Switzerland

Receptionist Carolina was lovely, efficient check-in and help with printing tickets for a concert we were attending - great!
