The property was very nice! The outside of the property did look a little different than the pictures but it was still beautiful. Our room was exactly like the pictures and we enjoyed our private hot tub. My husband forgot his belt and they kindly mailed it back to us when we got home! Also, make sure to know where the city center is when booking, it was about a 10 minute walk from this hotel. Overall, we had a great time in Santorini.

We were scammed by the taxi company the hotel organised for us. The hotel had every opportunity to fix it and said they would but we heard nothing.
It’s disappointing, because their villa is quite good. But the service we received was dishonest and sneaky.

I thought the accommodation was exclusive to what we wanted. Very relaxing. Hot tub was relaxing loooking out to the sea view. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and kept us posted. Beds were made everyday and we always came back to a tranquil, clean room. Reception manager was also very helpful on sharing information in regards to excursions. Hotel was a bit of a walk from the centre but many little shops to visit on the way. There is a slightly steep incline hill before you reach the main road which people with any difficulties should consider. Although we found if you walk under the bridge, there is a lovely walkway all the way to the town centre avoiding all traffic. A beautiful place to stay would definitely recommend.

Great wifi, good AC, wonderful staff that can help book tours, and very quiet area. The bathroom is extremely small, and water goes everywhere when you shower, but we showered at night and they clean the room every day so it wasn’t too bad.

Nice stay, located about a ten minutes walk from the city center. I liked the sofa and dining table set up. The room was large, which was a benefit. The downside is the extremely small bathroom. There is practically no space for the toilet. A large or tall person would have great difficulty with it. Even for a thin person, just standing by it, you’ll have your left foot in the shower, and the right hip next to the sink. The shower is extremely small, and I found it a bit dangerous; it’s rather slippery. Due to its very compact size, not only did the shower curtain stick to me while showering, but the bathroom also floods from the shower. Not the fault of the hotel, but taxis won’t drop you off at its door. It leaves you at the entrance to the street above it; the street leading to the hotel is steep in areas. Other than the extremely small bathroom, and the taxi situation, the place is nice.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay here! The room was pretty cozy and I loved the vibe. The host & housekeeper were super sweet, friendly, & kind. We definitely would stay here again. I would say it’s about 10-15 walk from the hotel to the main town. Regardless, the daily walk to the town was nice. Overalls there were no problems. It was a pleasant stay at Galatia!

1.5 / 5.0
Pros:
Good location - 10 minutes walk to Thira, but quiet location
Pretty good price
Well presented external
Seems to have thorough COVID cleanliness measures
Pretty private balcony
Cons:
Room seemed a bit dated
Room was pretty small
Shower was TINY - this was our main gripe - I am a UK size 6/8 Woman and the shower curtain stuck to me and with the curtain drawn water still flooded the bathroom. For such a small space it should be glass/plastic but regardless the shower needs upgrading
Only 1 bin in the bathroom (after 2 nights we had filled this) this wouldn’t be so bad but we were told due to COVID daily cleaning would cost 20 euros A day (I think)....

We stayed in one of the newly built apartments a little ways down the street from the original hotel which has the pool next to it. The new apartments are very nice. Modern, clean, and well laid out. We stayed here mid March 2020, and the weather on Santorini was sunny, but quite windy and slightly cold. We chose the hotel and those new apartments because they had a spa tub (hot tub) and we were very much looking forward to using it. However, unfortunately the hot tub in unit 17 which we stayed in was not very hot. It was more like a luke-warm tub that you could stay comfortable in if you kept your body mostly fully submerged. There was no way to adjust the temperature, and when we spoke to the hotel owner, he checked an app on his phone and said the hot tub was showing it was at 35 degrees Celcius.
The rest of our stay there was very lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom and livingroom/kitchen area was very nice. Be warned though, this is not a hotel for a tall person to comfortably stay in. I'm 5ft 8 and I could easily touch the ceiling in the bedroom, so I'm guessing a 6ft 4inch person would be ducking their head upstairs. Driving to the hotel requires you to drive down a very steep hill and parking is very tight. Best for people who are staying and not renting a car like we did.

The worst hotel i have stayed in. The sheets and towels were dirty. The room was filthy. The bed was uncomfortable. The room was musty and smelly. A nasty stink in the bathroom. Checked out after 1 night. Had paid for 4. The staff was extremely rude.
The worst ever.

We stayed in a 2 floor unit. The bedroom and private jacuzzi outside on the 2nd floor and washroom, kitchenette on the first floor. There is a VERY steep path to get to the hotel. If you are taking the local bus from airport, you can walk to the Villa....all downhill. However going back to the airport we took a transport 20€ since it is all uphill to get to the bus terminal and difficult if you have suitcases. The local bus is great to use...check out KTEL. And the path from Fira to Oia is spectacular.

This hotel is in an amazing location. I enjoyed sitting just outside my villa first thing in the morning and very late at night. I would definitely visit this hotel again or recommend it to my friends.

1.5 / 5.0
I liked how the property dealt with setting up an airport shuttle as well as a late check in as well as they held our bags on check out day for a few hours. My only concerns were the AC wouldnt work for more than 10 seconds i think due to the breaker and the shower curtain was impossible to shower with . It would constantly stick to the body.
1.5 / 5.0
There was no reception staff when you want one, not much facility or so called amenity. I suppose you get what you pay for.
2.5 / 5.0
You got the quaint feeling of Greece, but the building I dont think is very old. Its in a great location, not too far to walk downtown, but far enough to be quieter. The property is gorgeous, with plants and flowers and stone work and a pool- all very beautiful. There is a great variety store just up the road, and they prepare fresh baked items in the morning, and coffee with all kinds of other store items. The staff are great and very helpful, and we loved the atmosphere of the room.

Was pleasantly surprised how nice the rooms were, I believe they were recently renovated. Only complaint is the bathroom was very small for 2 people, especially compared to the size of the rest of the room. But everything else was very nice. Stayed up late to let me check in and room was cleaned every day!

Ideally located away from the noise of Fira nightlife. Helpful staff and very clean xx
1.3 / 5.0
This was our first trip to Fira The hotel was approximately half a mile walk to the center of the old city which was not bad. A mini market was also close by just up the street. We did a catamaran tour and a private island tour which was worth every penny. The only issue with the hotel was probably that the beds were very stiff and very uncomfortable at least in our rooms and number seven and 10 and could use new mattresses . Otherwise there was a small pool to use a nice sitting area for coffee or lounging and it was private away from the noise. I guess a hotel closer to the inner-city would’ve been more expensive but easier to access we did not mind the walk back-and-forth however. The owners and staff were very friendly and spoke very good English. I would recommend visiting the town of Oia.Maybe even doing a donkey ride up the hill which we were not able to do and looked like a lot of fun. getting to the ferry to leave the island seemed chaotic because it was so crowded and the port was under construction so we got there early and there were a lot of people getting on and off the ferry with a lot of bus and traffic. But once on the ferry it was beautiful and a nice comfortable ride to our next destination .

We got upgraded to a loft with a jacuzzi even though we booked last minute due to the canceled ferry. It was a wonderful surprise and we feel so lucky to be the first guests for that room according to the receptionist. Will be back again!
3.0 / 5.0
While the location was great, the room was small, and not that clean when we arrived. The reviews I read talked about a great breakfast, but there was no breakfast when we went. We stayed here for 2 nights and then moved to Oia, so ultimately it worked out.
2.0 / 5.0
Clean with wifi facility, there is kettle and fridge in room. Friendly staff. Transport to airport for ten euro one way. Walking distance to Fira town is about 15 mins. Given a Santorini mini calendar as leaving gift from staff...

2.5 / 5.0
We have stayed in this hotel previously and love coming back here. There are various room types scattered between two buildings. The room we stayed in this trip was in the second building away from the reception and right beside the small hot tub/swimming pool. The room was meticulously clean and large for what you would expect. It was more then enough room for us, and the hotel is clearly well maintained. The swimming pool and hot tub areas are great areas to wind down after a long day. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help. It is a short 5-10 minute walk to the center of the town, so convenient but away from the noise of the crowds. I have stayed in other much more expensive hotels in Santorini which were a huge disappointment compared to Galatia Villas. Given the choice I will not stay anywhere else in my visits to Santorini and have recommended this hotel to anyone I know going to Santorini. Book well in advance as rooms fill up fast.
