This was an exceptional hotel with great staff. We enjoyed our stay there while exploring Galway and the west of Ireland. It is not downtown Galway, but it not far and the property provides a very nice and quiet alternative to the downtown hotels.

The twelve was an excellent stay, so nice to have a suite style hotel with an extra wet bar and couch room. The record players in the room were a lot of fun. Because of this place, I’ll always remember Meatloaf’s “Bat out of hell”. Staff was great and the restaurant for breakfast and dinner room serve was excellent.

Almost 5 star.
Positives- Great location. Beautifully decorated boutique interior. Good toiletries. Great staff. Excellent cooked to order breakfast as well as continental buffet. Amazing food at West. Negatives- Double bed is two beds put together which was a bit uncomfortable. The shower gel dispenser did not really work properly since water was getting into it. Parking was very tight. Service in both Pins and West was slow to start and then picked up.Dinner at Pins wqs a littlw disappointing. These were some little things the hotel could improve on. The positives however were more than make up for most of it. Would definitely stay again

The Twelve is a 10
We loved the Twelve and staying just outside Galway. The Twelve has great restaurant and bar options, big rooms and helpful staff. We ate in both the gastropub and the fancy restaurant and both were excellent. Breakfasts were also wonderful. We really enjoyed coming back every night and having a great place to stay
