Frommer's Review
With a reputation as one of the finer hotels on Crete, the Galaxy is classy once you get past its rather forbidding gray exterior. 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. Although a reader once reported a less-than-gracious tone from desk staff, I have always found them courteous in handling requests for services. The Galaxy appeals most to travelers who prefer a familiar international ambience to folksiness. Although its restaurant serves the standard Greek/international menu, the pastry shop and ice-cream parlor attract locals, who consider the fare delicious.
