Hotel Galaxias

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.

Oh, where do I even begin with this little gem of a hotel near the old town? Let me just say, it was simply delightful from start to finish! From the moment I stepped foot through the door, I knew I had stumbled upon something special. First and foremost, cleanliness was evident in every nook and cranny. I have never seen such pristine rooms in my life! The attention to detail was impeccable, and it made me feel instantly at ease knowing that I was staying in such a spotless environment. Kudos to the housekeeping staff for their exceptional work! Now, let's talk about the staff. Wow, oh wow! They truly went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of extraordinary. Their warmth, friendliness, and genuine willingness to assist with any request or inquiry made me feel like I was part of a big, happy family. Their knowledge of the local area and their helpful recommendations were invaluable. I truly felt like I had a personal concierge at my disposal! Kudos to Ana and Klevis! It exceeded my expectations in every way possible. If you're looking for a clean, safe, and cozy place to stay near the old town, with a staff that will make you feel like family, then look no further. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Hotel Galxies was nothing like we expected from the photos. They make the lobby nice with bright lights marble but once you go up to the rooms that completely changes. The room we stayed in was claustrophobic and dark. Bathroom was super small and had a very unpleasant smell. The room as a whole was very small we didn’t even have room to open our suitcase without it being in the way. Although the hotel was in walking distance to the Hippocrates Square it was a very unsafe and unpleasant area to be walking through. We were constantly looking over our shoulder. Overall we didn’t enjoy our stay whatsoever and would not recommend

The employees were some of the friendliest I have ever met, amazing people!

For me it’s near friends and a decent walk to the old town

Everything was excellent, very friendly and happy staff.

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.

We staid in the hotel for 4 night and we really loved the place. Eva at reception has been amazing with us and she helped us in booking many attractions/restaurant in the town. Rest of staff was really nice and kind too. Cleanliness of the room and common areas was spotless. Breakfast was really nice with different options served in the lovely garden. Close to the old town too. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone!!

It was really cheap for what i got
