Galaxy hotel is a good place to stay, if you want a mid-way experience. First of all, the prices are not high, so your expectations also shouldn't be :) Located 30 minutes away from downtown of Athens, with a great tram and bus connections, this place is conveniently located for also the big city experience and the beach experience. Rooms are clean and equipt ok. However, the space is limited and if your room is looking at the beach (which looked so attractive when we were booking our stay) this is where the nightmare begins! Just in front of the hotel is a boulevard, which seems like a real high way! Although the rooms have a nice balcony, we never used it since the dust and the noise is so bad and very disturbing. Breakfast offer was ok, a simple continental breakfast with a limited, but nice selection of courses. However, the courses are the same every day. Although it is a ok place for a 3 star hotel, and we didn't expect too much of it for the price we paid, the boulevard experience has lower our impression much more.

Check in and out was very quick and easy. Based on other reviews we didn't bother with the breakfast so I can't comment there. The room was a nice size, bed a little firmer than I enjoy, sleep couch pretty comfortable, and the bathroom was nicely equipped. They are constructing a new building across the street and they start early, well early for us. About 7am is when they started to working on which was a bit bothersome due to our late night. Otherwise the room was nice and we enjoyed the proximity to Bikini Beach, which was nice and clean for my family to enjoy. I think once that building is completed, this could be a nice location for future visits.

Family room, the room is about 15 square meters, clean, comfortable, breakfast variety is slightly less, the surrounding environment is excellent, 5 minutes walk to the seaside park, the Aegean Sea is unimaginable, too comfortable

The design of the suites is rare in that it is spacious. I had the Penthouse Suite which extended the entire side of the hotel. It had balconies on all three sides so you could open the balcony doors and get a summer breeze. I only turned on the air conditioner for my room as mosquitoes will bite you in the early morning. The spectacular ”Ocean Front” view give you a 180 degree view of the Agean Riviera. You could watch the sunrise from the front balcony and watch the full sunset from the balcony or dining room. I could have just stay in the suite all day. The towels and linens are first rate and the hotel will supply you more than you need. Their normal schedule is to clean your room every other day but when I asked they agreed to clean my room every day. I was concerned as the hotel has not been open much for two years due to covid. But everything was like the reviews of two years ago. One important tip is to email or call the hotel directly to make a reservation. You will get a much better rate. The rate I received ($333) was about the same as a hotel room in Athens. It is 7 miles to Athens center and about a $19 Uber fare. Do use Uber. I had a taxi driver that wanted to charge me 250 Euros for the trip. For your GPS and Uber you have to enter your destination as Scale Suites. For some reason the GPS and Uber d0 not recognize the address. The closest ”supermarket” was about the size of a large closet. One further away was the size of a 7-11 store. Restaurants in the area are not very good. But the city Alimos is much nicer than Athens. Not as much graffiti and few beggars and homeless people. If you have a rental car the garage under the hotel makes it so convenient to park your car and walk 10 steps to the elevator that takes you to your suite. In cooler times they have a real fireplace and they sell you bundles of logs. While this is a good hotel it is not the Four Seasons. The manager will probably be unshaven and wearing an old T-shirt. The staff is attired properly. The two hot tubs on the roof allow you have a glass of champagne while having a panoramic view of the coast as well as the mountains in the opposite direction. If you stay at Scale Suites I can assure you will love Athens. But book very early (you have to pay for the entire stay when you book) to get one of the best suites. The Excelsior Suites are not available in the summer time.

The hotel is very good. The staff is very kind The beach is very close, the bus stop is in front of the hotel. Very close to the hotel is also a vending machine where you can buy bus tickets. To get to Syntagma Square take the A2 bus (35-40 minutes) To get to Piraeus take the A1 bus (25-30 minutes) Attention those who go with children and are looking for peace, it could be a problem because the hotel is next to the highway and there will always be car noise.

Please be careful if you book standard room at this property: me and my friend ended up accommodated in the closet just behind the reception, which was not supposed to be a guests room at all; it looks like according to Greek understanding of double bed standards a bed wide 140 am is considered double :( the shower cabin is ridiculously small also and in general try to avoid the rooms on the ground floor - next building is very close, so when you open your window you see a cement wall, as if you are in a prison cell… Only 2 positives- room was quite clean and the property is new and very well located;
