George Frederic Handel

Do NOT stay here. We booked a room in April 2026 and it was terrible. The room was disgusting and extremely dated. Carpet pulled up off the floor in areas, paint peeling off the wall, dirty floor, musty bathroom, and no ac. I am generally not picky as long as the room is clean. This place is so bad me and my girlfriend chose to sit in the Dublin airport terminal our last night rather than stay in the room. It’s that bad. Location is great if you don’t mind staying in a dingy closet.

I am fond of Handel as a composer. Unfortunately, the hotel is quite another story. The bells of Christ Church ringing every 15 minutes may have some charm, but the single-glazed windows and the noisy surroundings are disturbing at night. Much worse is the total loss of empathy/sympathy of the sales manager. Upon checking in, we noticed we had made a mistake and booked the room twice. A huge cost for us (500€), but peanuts for the hotel. While the mistake was ours, we released the second room in the hope that, if the hotel would manage to rent it, we could get at least a partial refund. We also said that we would be happy to get a discount voucher for a next occasion instead, since we were planning to come back in June. The sales manager was unwilling to offer the slightest compensation, he didn't even propose a free breakfast or drink, although he later admitted that he had been able to rent the second room to someone else. He could have easily decided to show some sympathy and please us in one way or another. Instead, he charged the room twice (to us and to another customer) and so he refused to give us the second room back when we realized that he would not make the slightest commercial gesture. I would have expected such a behavior from a one or two-star hotel, not to a three-star one. This hotel is just after money, their priority is not to please their customers. They don't care about your experience or whether you will come back or not. We won't.

I was there with my family and shared a room with my sister. For 2 people it was a bit tight, otherwise ok. Breakfast buffet perfectly fine. We hadn't booked the rest. Beds were separable but unfortunately did not stay that way. Overall, I am satisfied with the price/performance ratio. The location of the hotel is absolutely optimal. Near downtown, walking distance to almost everything within 15 - 20 minutes.
