Galaxy Hotel

This was my second visit to Kefalonia and this particular hotel! I found it perfect, perfect location and a really good price. There are a couple of nice places to swim directly opposite the hotel and some places to eat 2 minute walk away. It takes around 40 minutes to walk into town , there is a path all the way and very nice sea views to look at. We hired a moped to visit the island and found the roads easy to navigate. We went to the campsite for evening food quite often which is the closest, and the other one next door I(I can't remember the name) We found the conditions fine for us, and all the people who work/run there very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is plenty enough, fruit/ pastries meat etc. We will be back to kefalonia again soon and will definitely go here again.

This little place is underrated. We visited for a short stay and found it to be excellent , yes the bathrooms could do with a little updating but the reception , bar and breakfast area have all been updated from those shown in the photos , with new modern furniture ,so I'm sure that the owners are working round to it (The Jet2 holidays website needs updating with the new photos) The bedroom was large and clean with excellent air conditioning. There is new balcony furniture , we had an upper floor room with a sea view which was just beautiful. WiFi is strong and works in all areas. The breakfast is varied and plentiful , and you won't leave hungry. Although lunch and dinner are not served, we understood from other guests that the staff are more than happy to help with delivery service from nearby restaurants if you want to eat in on your balcony. It is possible to walk into Argostoli, which would take around 45 minutes, but I would say that a car would be useful to have (or a bike) . The local bus past the hotel does not run since Covid.

If you are looking for a relaxing break with the option of visiting a bustling centre nearby, I fully recommend this hotel. A small, family business, Maria and the staff met our every need. Every day we got a sunbed and the pool was bigger than I expected. Two small beaches are a 5 minute walk away and the location means you are surrounded by the sea. Two tavernas are a 5 minute walk away and reception will help you order lunch in from Argostoli. The capital is full of restaurants and we really enjoyed our nights by the shore. Our day trip to Ithaca was the highlight. Enjoy yourselves!

The best hotel the best staff love the sea view rooms, breakfast is a bonus made by the lovely Helen. Maria and Petros make this hotel run the way it does. I’ve been back several times and feels like home wouldn’t go anywhere else

Hotel needs much updating very shabby furniture and in need of update desperately, bed was awful really thin mattress and lumpy( shocked at no mattress protector or pillow protectors and as i discovered on last day after *****ping bed full of stains. Bathroom i had Extremely dated not even a shelf for my toiletries. Most important for me is i had several gift items i had purchased during my stay go missing from my suitcase on the last day of my holiday. I had a late flight and suitcase was in my room with locked door until 6.30 pm when i left for the airport, No one but myself and staff had access to that room. I discovered the theft on my return home and was so sad, i emailed hotel and had a very unhelpful and defensive reply. Galaxy hotel stated we were complainers regarding safety issues(which were justified) ie No pool depth markings and loose stair banister( i did report to jet2) as basic health&safety they also said we alone were the only people that had a key to the room as cleaner had lost key so impossible to have anything stolen omg haha what a joke! Extremely concerning health and safety issue if there was a fire in the hotel. I certainly would not reccomend this hotel! i have visited many different greek islands and never experienced theft from hotel staff of none valuable items,although reading a review from 2021 guy had money stolen from his suitcase at this hotel wish i had read before i visited. So disappointed because i absolutely love kefalonia but has saddened me to think about returning.

What a fantastic hotel, clean basic rooms, great breakfast, lovely swimming pool which is sea water but nice to have a fresh water shower when you get out. Lovely people that run the hotel, nothings to much trouble and Bella the dog,a bit grumpy but I still liked her. It's in a great position with two great tavernas near , especially Diddimakia. Can't wait to visit again, yammas 👍🍷🍷🍷🍷

What a fantastic place. We were staying at the campsite along the way but it was so noisy we moved to here for one night. Maria was so kind and could not have been more helpful. The rooms are a bit tired but it is a 2 star hotel so it was expected but it was spotlessly clean with great air conditioning. The pool is lovely with a small cove to swim just opposite. You will need to walk a fair bit to get to Argostoli or Lassi or they will call you a taxi. Lovely, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I can’t wait to return.

I sooooo wanted to give this hotel 5 stars, but one thing let it down, firstly the positives, the staff who run this hotel are absolutely fabulous, their dog Bella is simply gorgeous, from the moment I arrived they were accomodating and friendly, I have a number of dietry issues and when I asked if they could cook a pizza for me of a night they were happy to oblige (a trait lost on hotels I've stayed at before) room was basic and a bit dated, a quick lick of paint needed in some parts, air con ice cold, fridge good, lovely view from balcony (Room 216) however the only thing that let it down was the noise coming from the restaurant opposite, playing music and a disco until 0330 in the morning at a stupid volume, couldn't sleep a wink, not the hotels fault but it still made a very tired second day for me, this was on the Sunday night and I was pleased it didn't happen on the Monday, maybe just a one time thing hopefully, however this would not put me off staying here again, lovely staff, amazing location and a gorgeous island ❤️

Just spent nine days at the Galaxy Hotel. On arrival it did feel a little basic-rooms do have tv fridge and air con which was a god send but there are no extras like safe in your room or hairdryer in bathroom (lovely lady at reception did find one for me to use during stay). Very peaceful pool area and one of the days we had whole pool area to ourselves all day which was wonderful! Breakfast is a little hit and miss but the lovely lady who serves you is very kind and heaps you with food- if you ask for one waffle you get five!! There is no bus running past hotel so only option is to walk to Argostoli or get a taxi- we walked in of an evening- at a gentle stroll about 35minutes and got taxi back- 8 euros. A lovely restaurant five minutes walk to the right past lighthouse typical Greek taverna with gorgeous dishes and very reasonable was brilliant if you dont want the walk (Didimakia). If youre looking for absolute peace and quiet you will find it here- lots of people staying here hired cars to get around- there is absolutely no shops anywhere near so get supplies in town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and with a couple of tweaks like the hairdryer and maybe a bin in the room would help too (as we had to keep finding bags to use) Thank you to all the staff here for being so helpful and making our stay so restful.
