Spent two nights here - the service was absolutely excellent; the room was comfortable, if a little small, with an excellent shower, breakfast was delicious. It is located a pleasant 10-minute walk from the center. Ask for a room facing the pool, which will certainly be quieter than on the road.

Fantastic service....just come back from Crete having spent 5 nights at this hotel. Nothing seems too much trouble. The staff are very friendly and courteous while still having a very laid back feel about the hotel. Decent pool \ sunbeds etc...also the beds are not as hard as most in Greece! Everything very clean and tidy. Good food if you... More

No complaints about this hotel. Clean rooms, nice amenities, good buffet breakfast etc. we had a nice quiet room facing the pool (away from the street). we really just stayed here before going to visit Knossos. For that purpose, it made for an easy drive to the site since this hotel is not in the heart of the city center... More

After three nights spent at the Galaxy hotel ,I found the place comfortable . Reception personnel offers good service .Rooms are OK .A little far from the port (about 2km) buses and taxis are rather easy to catch.In fact location is better adapted to business people than to tourists .Breakfast buffets are copious and and courteously attended by waiters.
