Great stay
This was a great little hotel, just on the outskirts of Temple Bar, so it was easy to walk to everything but you don’t need to deal with the loud party noises. Room was great, staff was really friendly and helpful.

Triple room was perfect for our stay; weather was very warm which was great during the day but meant the room was warm overnight also.

Okay, but there’s better.
Place was okay. But it needed better cleaning and maintenance. Carpet in hall was filthy. Light bulb in room was burnt out.

Handles is a great property if you want to stay close to the action hit fat enough away that it’s still quite. The staff was great and super friendly. The hotel itself is nice and clean. I will absolutely stay here again my next time in Dublin.

This was a great property to stay in. Right on the edge of all the action but without all the noise that comes from the Temple bar area. The staff were great and the food was good too. The drink prices at the bar were a bit expensive though. Only drank there once. The room was clean and spacious and everything worked like it should. I'd stay there again.
