The hotel is located right in the very heart of Galway's Latin Quarter and is vey well placed for shopping, eating and taking in the local atmosphere.
We found the staff and team at the hotel to be very accommodating helping us to settle in and relax.

Also take a few minutes to read the history of Number 7 Cross Street over breakfast in the little green book ;-)

100% would recommend and if visiting Galway again we would not hesitate in rebooking.

If boutique means miniscule, they're nailing it. I don't think I've stayed in a smaller room in my life!
The staff was great, the breakfast was good, it's in the middle of everything, toilet paper was exceptional for a hotel.
I'm not sure who they cater to though. If you have any luggage or toiletries, there's ZERO space for that. No luggage rack, or ANYspace for anything to set anywhere. One nightstand with no plug in for anything. I finally found the hairdryer. Would have taken 3 day's to dry your hair....if there was a plug in to be had. Carpet was really dirty.
For the price they're charging, I'd go somewhere else more civilized.

bunch of issues
you can’t get to your hotel with your car, had to illegally park the car and get the bags to the hotel and then park the car at a lot a couple blocks away. the room was extra small where your bags block you from walking around the bed. the bathroom was smaller than a cruise ship if you ever been on one. the sink had one of the faucets where it has separate faucet for hot and cold. then i knew we were in trouble when they put ear plugs on the nightstand due to a noisy bar below.
the room did have a good a/c and breakfast was decent only cold options

The room was a twin and very small for two people. It was clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was located at the top of the building (5 flights, no elevator)but the staff very helpfully brought our luggage up. Breakfast was continental and was very good. The hotel is located in the heart of the latin quarter, close to everything in the medieval part of the city. Parking is offsite.

I read lots of previous reviews from others complaining about the noise at night, but it did not bother us and wasn’t extreme. If you want a quiet place with no noise, you shouldn’t be staying in the heart of this entertainment district/neighborhood in the first place. Rooms and hotel were very clean, and nice free breakfast. Rooms were a little small, but to be expected in a historic 600 year old hotel in a historic fun vibrant area. Highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to stay in the heart of Galway.

This is a very small property in a 700 year old building.

That being said, my wife and I had a nice stay. It is located conveniently in the Latin Quarter—right in the middle of shops, bars, restaurants, etc. It is easily walkable.

There is no elevator and the stairs are steep. My wife and I are in our 60s so this presented a bit of a challenge, but the young lady who was present offered to help. We declined, but appreciated her willingness.

The room we had (Shakespeare) was small but comfortable. The bed is comfortable. The air conditioning worked but could not be adjusted. The bathroom is tiny, but workable.

We had breakfast included which was continental style. It met our needs each day just fine.

While not a five star mega hotel chain, the experience was fun and the location couldn’t be beat.

Hotel is right in the heart of the action in Galway. Excellent music in the bar next door although the music was quite loud in the room also. The hotel provided ear plugs so it didn't really bother us. Hotel is a very old 600 year old building with no lift, steep/narrow stairs so carrying luggage was challenging. The room was very small. The car park at the Spanish Arch has extremely small parking spaces and was daunting to navigate, for a westerner. Unfortunstely missed our first night at the hotel due to a plane delay and couldn't get a refund.

A splendid step back into Galway’s past in this boutique hotel situated in a medieval townhouse steps from the bustle of Quay Street.

Our tiny but cozy room was on the third floor — and please note, if you have any kind of mobility issue, this is NOT the lodging for you, looking out on Cross Street (with some attendant noise at night) — but the emphasis here is on “cozy”, because it was comfortable and well-appointed. The staff were uniformly lovely, the included Continental breakfast very good, and the location can’t be beat for its proximity to the pubs and restaurants of Quay Street and environs. We love Galway for its music and history, and 7 Cross Boutique Hotel puts you right in the center of everything and makes you feel at home.

Parking is discounted at the Spanish Arch car park about a four minute walk away. We would gladly stay here again on a future trip, daunting stairs notwithstanding.
