Firstly, the hotel wasn't really near Gare Du Midi, 20 mins walk. We were harassed by people asking for $ and cigarettes while walking along the streets to the hotel. We paid in CASH while we checked in. But when I came back from my trip, HOTEL GALIA had CHARGED my credit card TOO! Realising I was DOUBLE-CHARGED, i contacted... more

This hotel is NOT well located. It is reasonably close to the train station but in quite a dodgy neighbourhood and not close to the main touist area. The rooms were quite ok but the lift frequently did not work and at times can trap you in it. There is no computers with free internet available even though there was... more

booked this hotel over the internet through booking.com. Walked from the station to the hotel to be told that they had double booked us, and would we like them to find us another hotel. This he did and thankfully he paid for our taxi. It would be nice if he had told the taxi driver the right hotel that he... more

We stayed there for 5 days. The hotel is in an older neighboorhood located close to the gare du midi. The 10 min. walk from the train station was a bit scary at night but totally ok during the day. We tought the place du jeu de balle and rue haute were nice areas to walk around and to eat... more

First of all, let me tell you that I have been traveling along Europe for years, so I know what to expect when I visit an European city. Excuse me for this comment, but sometimes people are not aware of European standards regarding accommodations and get (badly) surprised. This is my story. To begin, we had to pay in advance... more

I last minute picked a hotel to stay the night before catching my flight back to New York. I wish I had read up on this hotel further before booking it. It was close to Midi Station but hard to find at night. We arrived to a room that smelt like it had been painted that day & the window... more

Galia hotel best quality is the position: if you get a front room at high floors you'll have a wonderful viwe of the daily Flea Market, which starts at dawn. It it also near the Gare du Midi (Eurostars south station) and not far from the Grand Place ( fifteen/twenty minutes walking easy). Rooms are quite large and originals, all... more

Friendly staff, comfortable (though not sophisticated rooms). The shower was small and a bit brutal, but the breakfast spread in the curio-filled cafe downstairs was fantastic and more than made up for it. In a good location near some nice restaurants and shops and close to the main tourist sites. more

We had a wonderful stay at Galia. The English speaking staff let me practice my French. The cafe has a wonderful shabby chic decor and large buffet. The porch was a great people watching location. I liked the neighborhood, which felt like we were in a real neighborhood, not a tourist area. The square, with its kooky flea market, is... more
