My partner and I stayed at the 12 in May of this year. I fail to see the relvancy of the earlier rant is about the 12 being renovated and sitting on the site of an old hotel? This is an excellent hotel, very stylish and modern, with a very relaxed atmosphere. The food in the bar is second to... more

I really want to write a balanced review of our stay so I'll summarise the key points as follows: PROs: New Hotel with stylish furnishings Food at "The West" restaurant, & Service was very good Massage & Spa treatments were excellent Staff very friendly and helpful CONs: Noisey; with most rooms sharing an entrance hall way which bangs all night... more

We had heard and read many great reviews of this hotel and last weekend finally managed to get away from the smog to have a 'romantic' get away. The hotel's website looks brillant and gave us a heightened sense of expectation. When we arrived, the first thing we saw was a sign saying - you have arrived. From that point... more

Just returned from a 2 night stay in The Twelve. Lovely hotel, friendly staff and fine food and wine. We had a standard room which had everything you would want for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately the hotel is very noisy at night. We stayed in the bar til around 12 and when we went to our room we couldn't sleep... more

This "old" hotel is central to the total gutting and rebuilding of the once-charming town of Barna. It sits on the site of The Twelve Pins Hotel (which is how it gets its name), which was a nice little bar/restaurant with an outdoor picnic area and plain, reliable bar food. A good pint. A part of Old Barna. This is... more

We stayed at the twelve hotel for a two night midweek break in April 2008. The hotel itself is very stylish, very clean and very comfortable. The rooms are decorated in a modern fashion and to a very, very high standard. Food at the hotel is top notch. The main restaurant is outstanding (although the staff could be a little... more

Although not in Galway city this hotel is great. Bar food was great, service was excellent and Barna is a beautiful spot (try Mulberry restaurant across from the hotel). The twelve has its own bakery aswell and we even got little sample in our room! Decor is modern - really luxurious. more

The perfect place to un-wind and relax, we loved our stay at the 12 this time last year. Having decided against the more expensive/charecterless hotels in Galway city centre we booked in here for one night and within 10minutes of being in the room went back down to reception and booked for a second night. We borrowed DVDs from reception... more

Just back from a weekend at the hotel and can't praise it enough! We had very long drive from dublin and felt completely relaxed as soon as we walked in the door. We were upgraded to a suite which was huge and very luxurious. Stayed for 2 nights with bed and breakfast and one evening meal in the west which... more
