Very clean and friendly hotel. Close to Dublin and Blanchards Town Shopping Centre. Probably a bit too close to the railway line but good accommodation for all that. Friendly bar and good food. Just the place for a short break. Close to railway station and M50. David Friend More

on a recent business trip to Dublin my usual hotel was booked up. I found this hotel using directory inquiries and rang. They had 1 room left so I booked it. I had great difficulty finding this hotel as I kept ending up on the motorway and driving for over an hour for what should have been a 5 min... More

The good: very close to the Dublin orbital motorway, in a secluded area by a canal. Decent bar and restaurant, which seemed crowded with locals (always a good sign). Pleasant decor and friendly staff. Large, clean, well-appointed rooms, with a spacious bathroom attached. However: all the rooms are at basement level. My room was far away from the bar, so... More

I was really looking forward to staying in this hotel as it really looks nice from a distance and i have heard good reviews about the bar and food, but we were very disappointed. The rooms are all downstairs - and the carpets in the hallways were really filthy and there was a strong smell of bleach on the way... More

This has been our second visit to the Twelfth Lock and unfortunately, the experience was not as good as last time, one year ago. But let's start with the positive remarks: We like the location of the hotel right on the Royal Canal, it is so peaceful and idyllic. We like the design that reminds of a boat and we... More

This is a charming hotel that though its rooms need a bit of a face lift, were very clean and comfortable. As noted in a couple of the negative reviews, the train is a bit loud but the trains do not run from 11:30 PM to 6:00 AM. If you are a heavy sleeper, the train will not bother you.... More

i have stayed here lots of times, it is by no means luxurious, however it has everything you need if you are just looking for reasonably priced accomodation. Tea / coffee in room, bar food is good, and the breakfast is good, if a little slow as it appeared that everything was cooked to order including the croissants! It can... More

We arrived to find that the rooms were in the basement beside a busy railwayline. The rooms are dark and dingy and as well as the noise from the trains there is the noise from the bar above. The beds are very uncomfortable. Sleeping there is almost impossible with all the noise. We also had to contend with a broken... More

We paid 55Euro a night per room - a real bargain. Rooms spacious and yes simple but contained all amenities needed. We were in town to celebrate family members birthday. Twelfth Lock has good pub/restaurant and both real busy with locals on weekend (pub late for guests). We all enjoyed our stay, yes it’s near railway so not a good... More
