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!

Wonderful hotel with outstanding people.
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.

The POOL!!! IOS beach very close & Great Value!
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.

Incredible value with stunning pool area
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!

What a find!
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!

Beautiful view and location
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!

Reception is super nice. 1 min walk to beach / bus that's a five minute drive to town. Incredibly satisfied. 5 min walk to far out if you want be party scene, but want to stay somewhere more quiet & comfy stay at Galaxy.

Insomnia
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).
