Great hotel for a Galway visit

Great hotel with wonderful customer service and a delicious full breakfast. Nice and quiet. Great area but the taxi ride to the center of town was about 15-20 minutes. Would definitely stay there again. Be sure to have dinner at O’Gradys on the pier which is a short walk away. Fabulous!

Nice hotel

We enjoyed our three night stay at The Twelve hotel in Barna. We decided to try staying outside of Galway and used bus and taxi to get in and out of town. The hotel is very nice. The room is spacious (we had a King suite). The morning breakfast was excellent. While Barna was not particularly walkable, we were able to take the city bus both into Galway to explore the city and take an excursion to the Cliffs of Moher, as well as to the ferrys to Aran Islands. Staff was professional and helpful, printing out the bus timetable for us.
