Galaxy Hotel ReviewWith a reputation as one of the finer hotels on Crete, the Galaxy is classy once you get past its rather forbidding gray exterior. The interior was completely renovated in 2008. The public areas are striking if airport modern, and the Galaxy boasts (for now, at least) the largest indoor swimming pool in Iraklion. Guest rooms are stylish -- international modern -- but don't expect American-style size. Ask for an interior unit, since you lose nothing in a view and gain in quiet. The hotel also offers several expensive suites, as well as rooms especially designed for those with limited mobility. Although a reader once reported a less-than-gracious tone from desk staff, I have always found them courteous, if brisk. All in all, the Galaxy appeals most to travelers who prefer a familiar international ambience to folksiness.

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.
