What guests think
Across many reviews, Galaxy Iraklio Hotel stands out for exceptionally friendly service and an outstanding breakfast, a convenient location within a 10–20 minute walk of central sights and the port/airport, and pleasant facilities including a well-liked pool.
Rooms are generally comfortable but frequently described as small, with a few noting dated bathrooms or occasional street noise. Cleanliness receives consistent praise, while parking can be limited or tricky and some guests mention sporadic issues like pool closures or slow restaurant service. A reliable city base suited to short stays and stopovers.

Staff were all so friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was delicious with so much choice. The hotel was very clean & the rooms were a little small, but had everything and were also very clean.The pool area was small, but lovely and suited us perfectly. The hotel is located about a 10-15min walk from the city centre and the sites were all accessible by walking, taxi or bus which was perfect for us. We will definitely be back.

I would very much recommend this hotel. If you don't mind the 20min walk to the centre of town and the slightly challenging parking it is faultless. Comfortable, quiet and great facilities. The staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. Special mention to the breakfast - staff and food excellent.

Hôtel assez décevant. A notre sens, il ne mérite pas cinq étoiles mais se rapproche plutôt d’un quatre étoiles. Le personnel est efficace mais assez peu accueillant. Le hammam ne fonctionne que partiellement et la salle de sports est très basique… Le buffet à volonté pour le petit déjeuner est cependant qualitatif. Bémol de notre voyage: presque chaque soir, des jeunes restaient dans les couloirs à crier et rire fort jusqu’à 1h du matin, devant notre porte de chambre et malgré les remontées au front desk qui n’a jamais agi… Enfin bref, pas de vacances gâchées mais nous ne reviendrons pas.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The breakfast was fantastic, and the location was good, less than a 15 minute walk to the city center. Really had a North American hotel feel to it, particularly the rooms. Pool was closed for cleaning unfortunately, but all in all, we didn't have any issues. Only about 10 minutes or so from the airport, so very convenient

This was a very convenient hotel for our one night stay in Iraklio before a ferry trip the next day. The beds were decent and everything was very clean. The room was a bit small/tight for maneuvering around so perhaps not recommended for larger folks or folks with lots of luggage.

The location seemed very safe with access to ATMs. The staff was polite and helpful and our room was exceptionally clean. It’s also easy walking distance to city center.

This was a large traditional hotel. There was a buffet breakfast and all the food was delicious. Our room was nice but the bathroom could use some updates. The shower got the bathroom floor all wet despite my efforts to prevent it. Lots of dining options nearby but the shopping area was a bit of a walk away.

An excellent hotel in Heraklion about 10 minutes from the port and the hotel. Konstantina checked us in and she was wonderful and friendly. The room although a little small was very comfortable and well appointed. The free breakfast at this hotel was simply outstanding - from the variety to the presentation - something i looked forward to every morning. Location was great - about 1 km walk to the main Iraklio city center / square where all the action is. The hotel is also 10 minutes from the port, 10 minutes from the airport and about 10 minutes from Knossos palace (which is a must-see in Crete). They have a really nice bar on the reception level that is open late if you want to wind down after a long day of sightseeing with a drink (or many). All in all, excellent hotel and excellent staff - highly recommend!

The staff was very friendly and helpful! When I arrived on an extremely hot day I was dripping with sweat after walking from the bus station. The concierge offered me a "refreshing towel" to wipe my face off and honestly, it was the highlight of my 3 weeks in Crete. They answered any questions I had. I needed to mail some postcards and they had stamps for sale and mailed them for me, saving me from having to walk around and figure that out. They had a cab to the airport waiting for me at 6am on my departure day which was a huge stress relief. The room was great, big, clean and air conditioned. Breakfast was beautiful and delicious. I only had a few minutes to spend in the pool but it was nice. It seems to only get sun on it for a couple of hours since there are buildings surrounding it but it didn't matter since it was so hot outside and I didn't need to get sunburnt anyways. The location was convenient. Plenty of dining options nearby and also a short and pleasant walk to the city center (maybe 20 mins). Part of that walk is through a relaxing park with a nice place to get coffee. Would definitely stay here again! Do it!

Liked: Room: Good air con, lovely balcony with pool view. Dining: Excellent breakfast & dinner buffets. (Greek yoghurt with fresh honeycomb, chicken cacciatore, roasted asparagus, wonderful cake selection). Pool menu: good chicken gyros, avocado salad. Evening dining area: beautiful romantic atmosphere. Pool: Lots of sunbeds, relaxing chillout music, refreshing pool big enough for several people. Poolside coffee came with biscuits. In the heat of the day we were offered complimentary fruit-infused water. Going out: Buses to Knossos & Archaeological Museum leave nearby. Staff were happy to recommend a sports bar & beach. Customer service: Staff usually approachable & eager to please & if we had a problem Anna & her management team went out of their way to apologise & make things better. Didn’t like: Full-board lunch being a 3-course meal; would have preferred the lighter pool menu. Very laid-back food service in 2nd floor restaurant & by the pool; the quality of the food usually made it worth the wait but it would have been a more 5-star experience if it had arrived sooner. Staff being defensive in response to minor complaints. It would have been better if all staff were as open to feedback as the management team. Final comment: Despite a couple of small issues, overall we really enjoyed ourselves at the Galaxy Hotel & we’d easily recommend it to family & friends; it’s a beautifully designed, relaxing place with attentive staff, lovely food & a decent pool.

I would very much recommend this hotel. If you don't mind the 20min walk to the centre of town and the slightly challenging parking it is faultless. Comfortable, quiet and great facilities. The staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. Special mention to the breakfast - staff and food excellent.

We booked this property the night before flying out, due to the proximity to the airport. Upon arrival, we had a great welcome by the ladies at the front desk, who were able to check us in an hour early, and even provided a room upgrade. They were kind, efficient, and professional.

Really great hotel in the heart of Heraklion. Very convenient to the port and the airport. Staff was very nice and went over and above; we were leaving before breakfast so they made breakfast bags for us and sent us on our way. Highly recommend.

The property is not very well located, about a 25 min walk to the main city center. Everything in the hotel area was nice and service was good, good buffet breakfast with attentive staff. The rooms need some updating and are a bit small.

Amazing stay and regretfully we didn’t stay longer than one night in Heraklion. The hotel is a 10 min walk to the port which is really lovely. The hotel is fantastic and the breakfast was superb, although we had to abruptly rush out after 15 min because we had a flight change and needed to rush. We will come again and stay longer to enjoy the amenities more next trip!

Very nice hotel with great rooms and lovely amenities. We really enjoyed our three night stay at the Galaxy. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the buffet breakfast the best we’ve had on our travels with so much fresh produce and warm food options. Good location with a short walk (15 min) to the old town, also the ‘hop on hop off’ bus stops straight outside the hotel.

Staff were all so friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was delicious with so much choice. The hotel was very clean & the rooms were a little small, but had everything and were also very clean.The pool area was small, but lovely and suited us perfectly. The hotel is located about a 10-15min walk from the city centre and the sites were all accessible by walking, taxi or bus which was perfect for us. We will definitely be back.

Dining
Breakfast is a standout for quality and variety, and the on-site restaurant and bar receive positive feedback. A few guests noted slow service or occasional schedule changes.

A very nice hotel next to town centre. Thhe rooms are clean and well looked after. The staff are absolutely amazing and would try and help with any query you have! Food is delicious (we had dinners in a la carte restaurant a few times and all were a hit). Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Iraklio - for tourism or business.

Liked: Room: Good air con, lovely balcony with pool view. Dining: Excellent breakfast & dinner buffets. (Greek yoghurt with fresh honeycomb, chicken cacciatore, roasted asparagus, wonderful cake selection). Pool menu: good chicken gyros, avocado salad. Evening dining area: beautiful romantic atmosphere. Pool: Lots of sunbeds, relaxing chillout music, refreshing pool big enough for several people. Poolside coffee came with biscuits. In the heat of the day we were offered complimentary fruit-infused water. Going out: Buses to Knossos & Archaeological Museum leave nearby. Staff were happy to recommend a sports bar & beach. Customer service: Staff usually approachable & eager to please & if we had a problem Anna & her management team went out of their way to apologise & make things better. Didn’t like: Full-board lunch being a 3-course meal; would have preferred the lighter pool menu. Very laid-back food service in 2nd floor restaurant & by the pool; the quality of the food usually made it worth the wait but it would have been a more 5-star experience if it had arrived sooner. Staff being defensive in response to minor complaints. It would have been better if all staff were as open to feedback as the management team. Final comment: Despite a couple of small issues, overall we really enjoyed ourselves at the Galaxy Hotel & we’d easily recommend it to family & friends; it’s a beautifully designed, relaxing place with attentive staff, lovely food & a decent pool.

We booked our stay months in advance of our trip. Yet when we arrived at 11pm at night (my wife, I, 2 children and the Mother In Law we were told the room wasn’t ready(?!) and they would have to put another bed in a different room so we could all fit in. That led to a half hour delay (not welcome at that time of night with young children) and worse still we would have to move rooms the next day…hotel is good for a city centre location, but that really poor start left a bad taste in the mouth….
