The hotel is located literally on the beach and it has amazing views. The staff are really friendly and helpful The breakfast on the terrace is fantastic looking out to sea. The quality of the breakfast and the home baked pastries is remarkable. We will definitely be visiting again in the future. There is also a family of cats that live there and we found these to be an entertainment in themselves.

Beautiful place in front of the sea. Very nice people and huge breakfast. Free chairs and umbrellas. Very clean. And close to the best beaches of Creta as elafonisi balos falassarna. Kissamos is a small town but there is more than you need. Thanks

Hotel Galini Beach is located by the sea, next to it are some apartment buildings on one side, on the other side a football pitch. The view over sea is fantastic. The hotel's pictures on booking.com themselves look really nice, but when you come here it's a strange sight. It looks empty on some way, just a few chairs and tables at the end of a huge hall. A few armchairs and low tables at the entrance to the hall. On the right side there is a table where you go for breakfast and order what you want. There is not much to choose from, yogurt, some fruit, one kind of cheese, some salami maybe, some bread, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, and omelet, some pastries and that's all. In any case, it does not look as cozy as it does in the pictures on booking.com website. Or even on TA - there are old pictures from even year 2014 so that it was one other appearance than now. O saw there even one other picture which not agree with reality now at all. Maybe that time it was some other owner? Outside the hotel facing the sea is a large terrace with some tables and chairs, closer to the sea sun loungers and some parasols. But no nice armchairs or so to sit on and enjoy the view. Somehow it feels like an abandoned place. Or not properly open. The room is not big but not small either, a bit cramped though between the beds and the wall. Balcony is nice, but unfortunately without awnings or sun protection so you cannot sit there when the sun is on. Unfortunately, it seems that they are inhospitable to the disabled when some unpleasant events happen. We have booked a room for 6 nights. The second night, an accident happened to my friend. I went, fetched the mop and water, and cleaned the bathroom so it was clean. I have rinsed off dirty towels and linens and then laid it on the balcony. At the reception, I told in the evening about what happened and apologized. They did not seem willing to go and provide clean bedding, they were just worried if I also flushed the mattress as it would be ruined and it was expensive. I have reassured them that I did not, only towels. Despite that, they wanted us to change rooms, but I did not want that. Firstly, my friend is bad sick, cannot move, secondly, I have cleaned the bathroom so it WAS clean, and, we have paid for rooms with sea view, but we would move to another room with no view at all. When we checked out My friend got worse so I have decided that we will go home as soon as there is a flight home. Instead of 6 nights we stayed only 5 nights. But I said at reception that I will and have also paid for all 6 nights anyway as compensation for what has caused extra problems for the staff. Plus I gave the cleaning girl 10EUR tip because towels needed to be washed properly. Still, the manager has told me that the mattress costs 50EUR but that he should give it to me as a gift. Although he got paid for the sixth night 83, - EUR - so I wonder what he meant by the gift? He does not have to throw away the mattress, just put on a protection that most hotels provide in any case. So I was not very happy with our stay here even though in the beginning it felts OK and staff nice. And as said, absolute not recommend this hotel if you are handicapped. Sorry but everything in my review is true.

Response from Giorgos Sergentakis, Ιδιοκτήτης at Galini Beach Hotel
Responded 15 Aug 2021
Dear Khamlia, sorry to hear about your experience and your friend's sickness, I hope he gets well soon. Unfortunately I had to report you for misconduct in booking com as all the linen, the towels, the top matress and the matress had to be all thrown away as medical waste and replaced ( we did not get compensated ). We offered to provide for free a clean room temporarily so that your room is proffessionaly cleaned and disinfected, - wouldn't take more than a few hours to go back to the initial room. You denied that free service. It was sad to hear you demand immediate action from the housekeeper, under those kind of circumstances. We value our guests and we value our employees. You should really re consider your behaviour towards the hospitality staff and stop threatening with negative reviews. Unfortunately we can not welcome you in the hotel for a future stay.

We spent a week in Galini and everything was perfect, exactly what we needed after the sad situation of the pandemic. We felt very safe, everything was spotlessly clean and the service was excellent. The beach is right next to the hotel, sand and small pebbles. Breakfast by the beach is the highlight!

My friends and I have had a great stay in Galini Beach during our trip in west crete and its stunning beaches. Falasarna is a unique gem only a short drive from the hotel, an experience you should not miss. The location is pretty good, the room was super clean while simply decorated, it could use some more color and vibe! The breakfast by the beach was great and another reason to come back sometime, a perfect start to a day of exploration.

We stayed here only one night. The staff was so friendly, the holder explained su everything about the dishes of the breakfast and was so kind! The hotel is right in front of the sea, and it is 2 mins from the city center. The breakfast was very good and it was served in a terrace with a wonderful view of the coast!! I absolutely recommend this hotel

We had a fantastic 7-night stay at this beach side, family-run hotel. The staff were superb and a special mention to Irini on reception. Unbelievably helpful and so welcoming. Breakfast on the terrace each morning with views of the bay were stunning. The rooms were absolutely perfect for a 3-star hotel. Only a 5 minute walk to all the seafront restaurants and bars. There’s also a 400m athletic running track beside the hotel which is free to use. Definitely coming back.

From the moment I arrived to the end of my stay at Galini Beach Hotel, the staff are incredibly caring and they cater to your needs. Eirini is awesome at night specially when it comes to where the go to restaurants and Sophia is awesome in the morning. Great place to stay if you like peace, quite and just want to relax. Lots of local restaurants and shops. Also close to Balos beach and Lagoon and Elafonisi beach (pink sand beach) and I see it’s the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Thank you again staff for your hospitality, professionalism and for caring. Definitely recommend this hotel 👍🏼 Mike

Nice places but almost everything old. I wish little bit more luxury but not there. This hotel must improve itself. I suggest you breakfast its delicious i think Mediterranean breakfast concept but ok. Sea and beach also good. I suggest it for price and sea but it was bad for us. Thank you.
