Hotel Galvez Review

Galveston's historic grand hotel, the Galvez has been thoroughly renovated to make the guest rooms more comfortable and to correct the mistakes of previous renovations. Damages from Ike were not serious. Rooms are spacious, well furnished (most with two double beds), and conservatively decorated. The hotel overlooks the sea wall and one of the municipal beaches. It is also on the trolley line leading to the Strand district. Rates often run less than what is listed below.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; large outdoor pool; fitness center; Jacuzzi; limited concierge; business center; limited room service; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
