Hotel Galaxias

The hotel staff are exceptional, friendly and helpful. They went the extra mile when we thought we lost a phone, giving us advice on bus timetables instead of using a taxi, opening the bar and garden when we came back after a days sightseeing and wanted a drink The breakfast options were lovely and contained a huge variety of food to choose from. We stayed at the start and end of our trip so had two different rooms and both were lovely. One had a balcony which was lovely although was facing the road which was a little noisy. The toiletries were a nice touch and the rooms were cleaned on a daily basis. The only downside I would say was that the service options were a little basic in comparison to some of the other hotels we stayed at but considering the location we could survive without these..

Staff made this place a joy to stay in, super friendly whenever we walked past the front desk & had a nice chat with us before we left for our flights, good location fairly close to the old town, takes about 20 minutes to walk. Would recommend this place.

Hotel Galaxias is a brilliantly positioned hotel for the Rhodes traveller. Cheaper than many other hotels that are near/in the Old town, it needs a 20 minute walk through the backstreets of Rhodes to where all the action is. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the rooms are clean, well-maintained and quiet. The plus sides to the hotel include excellent wi-fi, luxurious dining/breakfast area and a private balcony. When there was a problem (i.e leaking air con) it was dealt with quickly. The only room issue I could see was that the shower is too small and water leaks onto the bathroom floor, I doubt a large person would enjoy a shower and could probably not turn around easily. Bear in mind this hotel has the usual Greek toilets (no toilet paper down the toilet) so it may cause alarm to some. There was only one other problem I found with the hotel - my family were staying near the Old town and wanted to visit me in my room, but the hotel has a very strict policy of not allowing anyone else in apart from those staying into the hotel unless they surrender their passports at the desk. Even then the possible visit time was limited . I could not understand this policy as I have been to many hotels around the world even the luxurious one do not have this policy. I can only assume they've had an issue with damage in the past from outside guests but I found it rather strange they wouldn't allow anyone else in, even if I knew them. Apart from this, I can highly recommend Hotel Galaxias to any Rhodes traveller.

The hotel is perfectly located just few minutes away of the old town of Rhodes. It is 5 minutes away by car, or 15 min. on foot. Moreover there are two big super markets nearby that you can buy everything you need for your staying, lots of restaurants and opposite the hotel is a great bakery called "Kantis" which has delicious products. You can easily find parking spaces for your car , as there are plenty of space just outside the hotel. If you want to explore the rest of the island, then you are nearby the two main roads, Rodou -Lindou highway , Ialissos highway which takes you to the western side of the island. The rooms were very nice, comfy and clean. The clean lady changed our sheets and towels every day . The receprion ladies were all very friendly and willing to help us and guide us. If you are travelling with your kids, there are three public playgrounds around the hotel. To sum up the hotel is the best choice if you want explore the island of Rhodes, stay in a nice renovated room, without having to pay a lot of money for your staying.
