Galaxy Hotel

We stayed here for 7 nights. It has a lovely pool area and is just down the road from the beach where there was a really nice beach cafe Trata, great for lunch. Its a short walk along the seafront to the town so very easy for the evening.

We had room 108 which had a lovely balcony with a great sea view for watching the sunset. The room was a good size but the bed was rubbish and the pillows so flat they were pointless. Some rooms had tiny balconies or just open onto the pool area so don't have one and some faced walls so request a good balcony.

The hotel seems to cater a lot for tour groups that stay 1 to 2 nights which might explain the reason why they go cheap on some details, you would expect a bit more. The breakfast is bad, its just a few bits of bread and some jam,cheese and ham. Would expect a few croissants or some fresh juice or something. It also meant the pool area was packed one day and empty the next which was fine with us as we stayed out on the busy days.

The staff weren't that friendly so everything seems a bit of an effort. I asked reception for some towels and toilet rolls which seemed such an ordeal I wish I hadn't bothered.

Despite these things I would go back as the pool is lovely and the location and beach are definitely worth going back for.

We stayed at the Galaxy for 5 days, July 23-27, two studio rooms with kitchenettes, for 4 adults and 2 children. The hotel is 60 yards from the Ayios Georgios beach (St. George), has a beach view for most rooms, see website [--] for details. This hotel is right next to the Naxos Royal hotel, which is a bit more expensive but with more to offer. See [--] Either one is a good deal. What I did not like about it was the fact that there was no guarantee of the view or the balcony size. We ended up on the 2nd floor (highest floor) with a real good view of the sea and an extended balcony with a table and chairs. Very nice, We even had a double bed, usually it's two twins are placed next ot each other. My parents ended up in a ground floor room, much larger that ours, but no sea view, unless one ventured out the side door to a courtyard with a table and 2 chairs amidst the gardens. My mom asked for a change immediately, was told they could switch in a couple of days, but eventually ended up liking it enough to skip the trouble of switching rooms.

The pool is lovely, there is a pool side bar, the pool water fresh, big points for that! The grounds and decor are nice and the beach is so near.

The walk to town is only 10 minutes, so you do get the best of both worlds. No need to rent a car. Another big plus. Eat at Poppi's in town, very Greek cuisine, try the roasted lamb.

We stayed from 6 June to 9 June 2007. We had a room over looking the pool. The room was quite comfortable and we had a fabulous view in the mornings. Breakfast was fine except if we were late we ate in the courtyard which was lovely when it was fine but a bit awkward if it was windy. I mostly wanted to refer to an older review which nearly caused us to cancel. There was no suggestion while we were there that we should not flush paper down the toilet. It was within very convenient walking distance to the beach and shops restaurants etc. I strongly recommend it.

The staff are really friendly, they stayed up to late in the evening (02:00am) because our ferry were delayed. Very fresh and clean room. Very calm on the hotel area, day as night. You can really relax and have your vacation. Just to relax by the pool, buy somthing from the Pool bar or take a very short walk to the beach. Neraby you have a supermarket, Outdoor cinema and bus stops to the ex. beaches like Agia Prokopios and Agia Anna. I really recommend the Hotel and me and my boyfriend will go back already this year (2006) in september!

The hotel was verry nice & clean and the staff were very friendly. We had a fantastic sea view and were delighted with our room very clean. The saint george beach was excellent very clean & clear water! All in all the holiday was fantastic and we would definately go back to Galaxy hotel for another relaxing two weeks.

After walking past several beautiful white hotels, it is quite disappointing to see the hotel Galaxy, old fashioned brick (browny, orange) and the rooms suit the exterior. We had a studio, which was basically decorated and a bit musty, not to mention had horrible barn type doors. Not washing up liquid was provided with the kitchenette, and the maid did not clean the items.

The Pool was unprotected from the sea breeze and it was quite windy laying next to the pool and cold at times. Be quick to get a spot aswell (before breakfast) as it seemed there were towels on the beds all day but no-one sitting on the lounges!

Breakfast was extremely basic and what they called orange juice, was a bright yellow mix which can only be described as foul and reminded me of the contents of a glow stick.

In short, way overpriced, and over-rated.

we are going now for the 7 time to stay in galaxy hotel and we have always the same room 151. The hotel is at a perfect lokation situated at the beach and near the center ..... all ingedients that my husband , liitle son and i wanted we found in GALAXY

The breakfast is not very good it is simple, typical an greek breakfast. The son of the owners, his name is Lambros is a verry good greek man and speaks verry good english and always kind and friendly. The pool bar is not so beatiful it could be much nicer if the owners wanted to put money in it than the customers will also stay in the evening time at the pool.....with greek music par example....BUT WE LOVE GALAXY AND AUGUST 2005 WE ARE STAYING AGAIN FOR 3 WEEKS IN GALAXY !!

We were unfortunately unable to get a single room for our adult daughter, so we decided to take a studio, assuming that it would be large enough. The studio was very small for three adults, but that wasn't what bothered us most. This was the first hotel that we stayed at in Greece (Thassos, Lesbos, Mykonos, Santorini), approx. same price and rating, that didn't allow us to flush paper down the toilet. I feel that that can ruin a holiday, especially with three people sharing one bathroom.
