The 7 Cross Street Boutique Hotel is centrally located to everything you could want in Galway. It's a hip/trendy boutique with cozy rooms and a unique atmosphere. It's really not meant for hanging out in the room, but rather being out and about. Next time we are in Galway, we'd stay here again.
That being said, and it's no fault of the hotel itself, but the noise from the pubs/clubs around the hotel could be a disturbance. You could hear people up until 2:30am. Not a big deal, but if you're a real light sleeper, bring ear plugs. Nevertheless, it was a great stay.
