    tasty pizza

    Brace yourself for this review!

    What an enchanting getaway! The rooms are stunning and pristine, with delightful design touches that catch the eye. The staff radiate warmth and attentiveness, making dining a true pleasure, especially enjoying the tasty pizza. A peaceful location that’s a stone's throw from the city and nearby pier adds to its charm. Truly a memorable stay!

    dog-friendly room
    extensive breakfast choices
    dark atmosphere

    Loved the spacious dog-friendly room with nice little touches for our pet. Breakfast choices were extensive and tasty. The dark atmosphere throughout the hotel felt a bit uninviting at times. Great location for hiking nearby.

    dog-friendly amenities

    We had a fantastic stay! The dog-friendly room was spacious with lots of comfort, and the little touches like baked treats for our dog made it special. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby beach and woods.

    bespoke furniture
    in-house bakery
    charming atmosphere
    limited seating

    The luxury suite offered impressive decor with bespoke furniture, giving a charming and inviting atmosphere. The in-house bakery produced delightful pastries for breakfast, enhancing the overall dining experience.

    The restaurant experience fell short, with a lack of communication about the West Restaurant's set menu leading to unexpected choices. Additionally, the seating options in the common areas were limited, making it hard to find a spot to relax after dinner. Some guests noted noise issues from common areas, which might disrupt peace during late hours.

    excellent central location for park strolls and beach fun

    We had a fantastic stay, enjoying easy walks to the beautiful Salthill Promenade, perfect for a scenic stroll, and the welcoming atmosphere of nearby cafes, which made our mornings so enjoyable. it’s hard to beat having such great dining spots just a few steps away, especially when you want to take a break after exploring.

    cleanliness concerns

    Just back from a nice stay at The Twelve. The room had a great layout, with lots of space and a comfy bed. Loved the friendly atmosphere in the Pins restaurant. breakfast was top-notch, with a great selection that even pleased my picky eater. The food exceeded expectations. The staff always greeted me with smiles, making me feel welcome. However, there were some issues. The hotel seemed to lack adequate soundproofing, which made my nights less restful, especially with traffic noise from the street side. I also noticed some cleanliness issues in shared areas, like dust on the surfaces. And on one night, I struggled to find seating in the bar, which felt too crowded to really enjoy a quiet drink. It would also be nice to have clearer communication about restaurant reservations. Overall, not a bad stay, but improvements could definitely make it better.

    fantastic breakfast
    friendly staff
    spacious rooms
    unclear dog policy

    Had an amazing getaway with friends! We enjoyed spa treatments and dined at local spots. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff was super friendly. Rooms were spacious, making it great for our group. Don't miss out on the lively bar atmosphere during your stay!

    One downside was the unclear dog policy when some friends tried to bring their puppy, which caused disappointment. It seemed a bit offputting.

    Had a lovely 2-night stay in a cozy double room, and enjoyed the amazing breakfast with super attentive staff. The spa and wellness center was a real treat, with great massage options. Just a small note, the Wi-Fi could be a bit spotty, but overall, it was a fantastic experience! 😊
