Located on the quiet edge of Temple Bar, the Hotel George Frederic Handel is both mish and mash. The lobby's peach walls and the fake lily-filled urns appeal to a special design sensibility. If kitsch is your favorite art form, you may discover that you heart the Handel.
The 40 rooms are all color-coordinated in a palette apparently dreamt up in the rust-friendly late 1980s. Furniture is unremarkable but serviceable. All rooms have private bathrooms, and several have modest views of Fishamble Street below. The George Frederic Handel is just a few minutes from Christ Church Cathedral and adjacent to a strip of hip shops and cafes (although you won't want to miss the hotel's own full Irish breakfast).
Reception opens to Karma Bar, a funky space that carries on the general kitsch theme on display elsewhere. George Frederic Handel's clientele is divided between families and groups of partying lads, a schizophrenic break that matches the hotel's cut-and-paste aesthetic.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the George Frederic Handel neighborhood
Looking for a hood with a little history? Located south of the Liffey, the area around Christ Church Cathedral, with its cobblestone streets and imposing architecture, is a great place to start. The cathedral itself, certainly one of Dublin’s top tourist draws, has been around since the 11th century. The present-day version has gone through a number of changes, including a late 19th-century “Victorianization,” and it’s still stunning. The finely manicured church grounds attract lounging locals and tourists alike during the summer months. In addition, Dublin Castle, the not-really-a-castle castle from which the British ruled until 1922, is just around the corner. And, of course, the there’s the Guinness Brewery (a house of worship to some) further west along the river.
