    Wake-up service, available in my a double room, was a nice bonus. An electric kettle, a fridge, and glassware were a big plus. The hotel was in a remote setting to Standún's wonderful shop in Spiddal. And it was also just next door to the bar and West restaurant, an establishment with an excellent reputation and both Cliffs of Moher and Connamara.

    Cozy room that allows pets and has a large comfortable bed. Amazing view of the bay to enjoy. the location is a bit secluded near O'Grady's on the Pier, but there's a restaurant nearby for convenience. Quick checkout available right here. 🌊

    The location was great and beautiful, short walk to the `` West '' restaurant for dinner and the nearby beach and Galway suburbs, in a beautiful area.

    Shame the bathroom was dirty.

    The hotel is in a fantastic location, right on the coast overlooking the pier. Guests can take a leisurely stroll down to the pier and enjoy the beautiful views. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located down the street from O'Grady's on the Pier, providing easy access to delicious seafood. The rooms are spacious and well-designed, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The bathroom is modern and the shower is top-notch. The service provided by the staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The breakfast menu offers a variety of delicious options, including chorizo eggs and divine bread and pastries. The hotel also has a bakery shop where guests can enjoy a free coffee.

    One negative aspect is the lack of seating in the bar. It would be more enjoyable to have ample seating to accommodate all guests.

    The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the night porter/barman and the girl from the spa. The breakfast options were superb, and the pancakes were a hit with the kids. The restaurant food was also very good, and the bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. Some people may be bothered by street traffic noise, but overall it was a fantastic experience.

    It felt like we were in our own home, with no complaints at all.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable and well equipped. The hotel's attention to detail was evident, with hand-written notes and complimentary treats in our room. The location was perfect, right on the coast and within walking distance of a small sandy cove. We also loved the fact that the hotel was just outside Galway city centre, making it a convenient base for exploring the area. Additionally, the hotel was located near a celebrated seafood restaurant, offering delicious meals.

    Everything is what I need and want.

    We stayed at this luxurious hotel located in a lovely little village just outside Galway. The location was perfect, as it allowed us to explore both the city and the beautiful Connemara Peninsula. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and the service was top-notch. The room was spacious and well-appointed, with all the amenities we could ask for, including a sitting area, terrace, and a comfortable bed. The hotel also offered a variety of dining options, with a restaurant serving delicious food and a bar/lounge area where we could relax and enjoy a drink. The spa and wellness center provided a range of treatments, allowing us to indulge in some much-needed relaxation. our experience at this place was nothing short of excellent.

    Although the hotel provided a comfortable and luxurious experience, it did show some signs of wear and could benefit from a refurbishment. However, this did not detract from our overall enjoyment of our stay.

    The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist us with anything we needed. The complementary breakfast and dinner were both delicious and added a nice touch to our stay. The hotel's location was perfect, situated just a short distance from the beach and a few minutes' drive from the city center.

    The Wi-Fi and cell phone coverage was poor and unreliable. Additionally, we were disappointed when housekeeping entered the room without knocking, disrupting our privacy.

    I had a very enjoyable two-night stay at The Twelve. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the restaurants were excellent. The dinner at West was fantastic, with friendly and efficient service. The hotel itself is a beautiful boutique hotel with luxurious modern decor. The family suites are very spacious and well-equipped, perfect for families with younger children. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering a refreshing glass of juice upon arrival. The personal touch of a handwritten note and sweet treats in the room made me feel valued as a guest. The food and beverage options at Pins Gastro Pub were top-notch, with a wide selection of craft beers and cocktails. a fantastic place to stay in a peaceful location just minutes away from Galway city. We'll definitely be back.

    100% Recommend this hotel.
