    Charming little spot!

    We had a lovely stay for one night. The staff were super nice and even treated us to some coffee and cake while we waited for our room. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was just gorgeous. Only bummer was that parking got pretty tight. Still, the bus service outside was a big win!

    The Galaxie is a very comfortable small hotel with a friendly atmosphere. The staff was particularly helpful, assisting with my work needs promptly. The English breakfast served in the glass conservatory was excellent, featuring freshly baked croissants and a variety of organic juices. the hotel's location is superb, just a minute's walk from a range of good shops and restaurants.

    would love to come back

    Staff provided warm welcomes with coffee and cake on arrival. The small double room was very comfortable and equipped with a flat-screen TV, electric kettle, and private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Breakfast had freshly baked croissants and a great variety of organic juices. The hotel décor was really charming and created a cozy atmosphere. Great location too, just a short bus ride to the city center.

    Good vibes but needs better service

    Spent 3 nights in a double room. The place was nice and clean, and I loved the outdoor dining area, especially for breakfast. But, man, checking in was a drag. The reception staff seemed more into chatting with each other than helping guests. Wi-Fi was solid, but the pillows were way too hard.
