2/10 Poor

ZERO for the Twelve
Checked-in to a tired-looking lobby. Bags and trolleys everywhere, unattended. Requested dinner at WEST - closed. Room had been "cleaned" but had human hairs still clearly visible on beds and blatant clumps of dirt and dust on head-board, chairs, floor, bathroom. Assured evening meal/room service would satisfy - when eventually returned from sightseeing - CLOSED! No food available, even on room service. Bathroom had minimal towel / accessory provision. Had reserved a massage from the Spa which had been "forgotten"... when called next morning to ask "Where was treatment or where should we go?" was met with absolute ignorance and no useful apology or excuse - just didn't bother to correctly note reservation.... Hotel staff (male receptionist and female massage therapist) had spent previous night banging in and out of doors by my room in loud conversation about using a shower and leaving a key somewhere later that night - complete lack of soundproofing meant that all their activities were very audible and kept residents from sleeping if nearby... Basically this was an absolute horror show. I had stayed at this hotel previously and was content to overlook certain shortcomings - but no more. Boutique hotel my foot... it is a tired little place that needs a good overhaul in principles of service and hygiene and standards of hotel facilities appropriate to prices charged. Shame on The Twelve.

6/10 Good

We had the family suite which had a nice large space. Everything was fine except that the varnish on the tables was very sticky. Felt like there was a film on the tables. There was dust in the coffee cups after taking out the pile of creamers. The fairy door was a quaint little extra and the gift cards for the kids to get a treat at the bakery was a special touch!

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
