7 Cross Street

First off, this is a 700 year old building. I cannot even imagine having to maintain modern facilities in such an old property. That's where the deductions come off for cleanliness and maintenance. The positives: Friendly and helpful staff, absolutely prime location inside the Latin quarter. 30 seconds after leaving your room, you can be ordering a pint at the pub next door. They mention the noise in the description, but it wasn't really a big issue so long as you kept the windows closed. The negatives: Our room (Wordsworth) was TINY (again, it's a 700 year old building so that is to be expected), but the room was more appropriately sized for a single twin bed when it had a double. There was maybe 8" of space on the wall side of the room and a foot and a half on the bathroom side of the room. The mattress was...not good. No support on the sides of the mattress, so as soon as you found yourself there (at the side of the bed, as will be the case with 2 standard+ sized adults) gravity really wanted to put me on the floor. The TV didn't work, it just sat there blinking red at us. Finally and most concerning (to me), once you start the shower, you might as well have been on an ice rink. The shower floor was INCREDIBLY slippery. A rubber mat would have made all the difference.

Very unique and super charming little place in the Latin quarter. We had a window overlooking cross street, which allowed us to relax and listen to the music down below. Small room and hallways with lots of stairs, but my wife and I absolutely loved it! Would definitely recommend for couples looking for a romantic getaway.

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.

Lovely place in the heart of Galway! Delightful breakfast and great staff.
