The property is located in Barna, enough of a distance from Galway centre that you would have to plane your trip to avoid traffic. The restaurant and lounge area was spacious and staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was very good. The pier is only a short walk away and the pub kitty-corner , O’Donnely’s was a more rustic local pub that was great for chatting with locals. The room was beautifully appointed and clean and the shower was awesome. If you are not wanting to be in downtown Galway futile this spot is fantastic.

I booked the hotel more than a month on advance of my stay and after I arrived into Ireland, the Twelve notified me that they overbooked and they couldn't accommodate my booking. They were apologetic and assisted me in finding an alternate hotel but it wasn't something I wanted to experience since I spent a lot of time researching where we wanted to stay.
