Galaxy Hotel

The hotel was very close to beach and restaurants. We staid in the room with sea view but it was not the better choice even we paid 20 euros more. It was very noise in the room because of very busy road in front of the hotel.

Galaxy hotel is a good place to stay, if you want a mid-way experience. First of all, the prices are not high, so your expectations also shouldn't be :) Located 30 minutes away from downtown of Athens, with a great tram and bus connections, this place is conveniently located for also the big city experience and the beach experience. Rooms are clean and equipt ok. However, the space is limited and if your room is looking at the beach (which looked so attractive when we were booking our stay) this is where the nightmare begins! Just in front of the hotel is a boulevard, which seems like a real high way! Although the rooms have a nice balcony, we never used it since the dust and the noise is so bad and very disturbing. Breakfast offer was ok, a simple continental breakfast with a limited, but nice selection of courses. However, the courses are the same every day. Although it is a ok place for a 3 star hotel, and we didn't expect too much of it for the price we paid, the boulevard experience has lower our impression much more.

Great view, very clean rooms with everything needed, good price, and, above all, professional friendly staff. BUT the horrible noise coming from the rapid road nearby was traumatising. The window panes could not keep the traffic noise outside so at night we literally had the feeling that the windows were open and we needed to stuff things into our ears to be able to sleep. Breakfast was also a bad experience. Apart from the fact that I'm a vegan and all I had to eat was tomatoes, cucumbers and musli with water, when my friends went to have breakfast a bit later (still in schedule) couldn't find much left, even cutlery and coffee were scarce. All in all, I wouldn't repeat the experience!
