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!
