Our stay at Galaxy Hotel in Crete provided an excellent balance of comfort, luxury, and convenience during our time in Heraklion. Located just a short distance from the city center, the hotel offered easy access to local attractions. It also served as a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hotel’s modern yet elegant design. The lobby, with its sleek decor and welcoming ambiance, set a relaxing tone for our stay. Check-in was smooth, and the staff’s warm hospitality immediately made us feel welcome.
Our room was spacious, featuring a comfortable bed, stylish furnishings, and all the amenities we could need. The attention to detail, from the plush bedding to the thoughtful touches like complimentary bottled water and coffee, made it a delightful space to unwind after a long day.
One of the standout features of Galaxy Hotel was the buffet breakfast. Each morning, we enjoyed a wide variety of fresh, locally sourced options. From traditional Greek pastries to an assortment of fruits, cheeses, and breads, the breakfast buffet was a highlight of our mornings. The attentive staff ensured that our dining experience was seamless, even during busy times.
The location of Galaxy Hotel was ideal for exploring Heraklion. While not in the heart of Heraklion, we found it easy to walk to nearby attractions. The walk downhill from the hotel included a nice park midway. Nearby attractions included the Venetian Harbor, the Koules Fortress, and the Archaeological Museum. After a day of sightseeing, returning to the comfort of Galaxy Hotel felt like a welcome escape from the city’s bustle.
Overall, our stay at Galaxy Hotel was exceptional. The combination of luxury, comfort, and excellent service made it a perfect base for our time in Crete. For anyone visiting Heraklion, we highly recommend Galaxy Hotel as a top choice for both relaxation and exploration.
