I first arrived to this location and was not feeling well. I had been sick on the plane was feeling horrible. I arrived 3 hours early, but as the clerk could see on my face he saw to it that my room was made ready as soon as possible. I appreciate that so much I was able to settle into my room take a hot shower which helped so much. This location is centrally located from all the attractions. Everything I wanted to see and do was within walking distance anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. The room was very clean and nice. Thank you for a wonderful stay I will be back.

Fantastic stay. This was my 9th trip to Ireland but first to say at Handel’s. We booked 3 rooms for 6 people. It was a very quiet hotel while being centrally located and could walk everywhere. The staff were great and very friendly! Clean rooms with nice amenities like hair dryer, fan, sitting chairs, wardrobe and water. Will be back!
