I really enjoyed my stay at Galaxy! The location was excellent—just a short walk to the beach. The staff were very helpful and accommodating, and the room was comfortable and clean. Highly recommended!
All staff very friendly and helpful. Room was basic but what we needed and great for price paid. Close to the beach only a two minute walk and to bus stop to get into town. Pool is lovely very quiet and a great pool bar with good prices. Would stay again.

Beautiful and relaxing Property, pool and staff were amazing. However, we got sick from the Aircon and we're looking at the vents they were extremely dusty.
The man who owns this hotel is outstanding. Served breakfast daily for me, made sure that I had all the accommodations I needed. I lost my key, and he came through for me at the right time. Aside from that, amazing location, family owned, close to the party and amazing food, and a quiet place to sleep. Unreal I’m coming back

Great location close to the beach, just 2-3minutes walk and the bus to Chora stops right outside the hotel. Great poolarea and Amazing hotellservice and very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms need to be renovated but they apear just as in the pictures. There was some missunderstandings with out booking but the staff made the needed changes to acomodate us and our needs. I got to stay in both the old small rooms that need renovating and the shower in one of the rooms were supertiny. I also gor to stay in the only big and renovated room wich was amazing and great with everything you need. Good experience and great handled from the staff.
The hotel is beautiful and understated. The rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated. The infinity pool and bar are very good. The hotel is superb in every way, we can not fault it. The location is barely 100 yards from Melopotas beach. But the one thing that makes this hotel stand out are the people who work there. Antonio is everything a good host should be, friendly, kind and authentic. The whole team are great. Stay at the Galaxy, you'll be happy.
Galaxy is a beautiful stay located right by Mylopotas beach amd everything it has to offer; the location is excellent as it is a quick and cheap bus ride to both the town amd port. The room was spacious, clean and well-equipped, and ours even had a seaside view. The infinity pool is a huge plus. Located by the pool are showers and a bar that has several food options. Finally, the staff is amazing. They are more than accomodating, offered advice on local attractions, restaraunts amd activities and even fixed the broken wheel on our luggage. All reccomendations!
Piscine très agréable, la chambre en tant que tel est bien. La localisation est bonne, mais un peu bruiante la fin de semaine puisque c’est proche de la plage Mylopotas. Personnellement, nous avons bien aimé et y retournerions!
The pool is fantastic! The hotel is cheap and worth the pool alone. The AC in the room made the hot Greece weather livable.
The cons the bed was to single pushed together and not very comfortable. The shower was a shower head - the entire bathroom would be soaked anytime one of us washed.
The room was clean and the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. For the price of room and location. It’s a great value.
Very good position and owner nice and kind. Unfortunately the rooms are very small and the air conditioning system is a nightmare (no air flow and temperature regulation pointed directly to your head during the night). Services at bar very slow (more than 10 min for a coffee).
This is an amazing find for the price, the pool area is absolutely stunning with a view of Mylopotas beach over the infinity pool. The pool bar is also reasonably priced and the ladies working behind it were so lovely. The hotel is in a great location, 20 minutes walk from the Chora, 2 minutes from the beach and a bus stop at the end of the road. The rooms are definitely basic but for the price that’s was expected, and we spent most of our time at the fantastic pool area anyway! They could definitely do with putting a shower curtain in as the bathroom would get quite wet. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have liked to stay for longer!
For the price of the hotel, the stay was beautiful. The staff went above and beyond, sharing places to visit and go for meals when we arrived. The pool was idyllic, with an equally idyllic view to match. The pool bar was perfect with breakfast every morning and very reasonably priced. Only issue we had was the rooms were only serviced once every three days. Overall, a perfect stay and will be back!

Towels were supposed to be replaced daily but were not.
Value for money not there.
The hotel is in an awesome location not far from mylopotas beach and far out beach club! There is also a local bus less than 100 meters from the property that can take you to the port or to town etc. which is very handy! Our stay was good. I would say the only negative was the bathroom. The room is quite large but the bathroom is quite small and water from the shower leaks everywhere. Similarly, Water from the air conditioner also leaked on the floor. Breakfast also isn’t provided or any tea or coffee making facilities. It would have been good to have that option. Overall, these things were just minor. You cannot beat the view and the owners were lovely!
