HOTEL OVERVIEW

exterior - night

The Galini Palace hotel is conveniently situated in Voula, 18 km south of Athens' city centre and about 20 km from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport.

Located right on the coastal boulevard, separated from Voula beach only by Karamanli street, the hotel provides guests with direct access to the beach establishments and to the One thousand and One Nights restaurant by the sea side, which offers a wide variety of local and international cuisine.

Fully renovated, air-conditioned and soundproofed, the property offers free wireless Internet connection and features attractive rooms which are tastefully appointed to satisfy even the most discerning guest. The hotel's staff, genuinely warm and friendly, will be happy to help you with all kinds of bookings and reservations.

Voula is described as an aristocratic suburb with a variety of shops, banks, supermarkets and so on and meets every hotel guest's requirements.

Galini Palace is run by a family: the family-friendly welcome, the feeling of being not away from home, the personal care of every visitors needs, are among the characteristics of the hotel's owners and its staff as well.

Not to mention its proximity to both Kavouri and Vouliagmeni, where meetings, congresses, social events take place throughout the year. These are among the most preferred reasons why the hotel is particularly favorable by both leisure and business travellers.

LOCATION

City Area:Surroundings of Athens

Voula is a beach resort located in the southern part of Attika. It is an ideal place for short or longer stays in Athens, because it is close enough to the city's centre, where all museums and ancient monuments are, but it is also away from the metropolitan traffic, thus combining relaxing vacations and sightseeing. You can enjoy a day tour to the Acropolis area and, in the evening, relax at Voula beach experiencing a fabulous sunset.

Within short distance of the hotel you will find some of the most famous nightlife spots in Greece, as well as several nice clubs and cafes by the beach. The area of Glyfada is also very close, where you can take the streetcar to Athens' centre or enjoy traditional Greek cuisine in one of the numerous highly-recommended restaurants. Shopping is also very popular in Glyfada, as the streets are lined with exclusive stores and boutiques.

If it weren't for the lack of hot water (only lukewarm, but that might have been bad timing) and an adjustable shower bar, I would recommend the hotel. Nice view of sea, and decent breakfast. They also called for taxi service the night before to assure arrival by 8:00 am.

I needed a hotel just to stay overnight and Galini Hotel was an excellent choice. The room I was given was unusually clean and spacious with a balcony facing the sea. The shower stall was small, but manageable. There was an air-conditioner and a TV with one channel in English (and a lot of Greek ones - unfortunately I don't understand Greek). The only inconvenience was a busy and noisy road right near the hotel (between the hotel and the sea). The price was very good for such a hotel - the season has ended and the hotel was almost empty. Breakfast was OK. Hotel seems to be somewhat "in the middle of the nowhere" but there is a bus stop right next to the hotel with lots of buses. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who does not mind keeping the windows closed and does not need entertainment just next to the hotel.

Very pleasant stay. My room (210) was as pictured and indeed faces a 180 degree view of the sea. Very comfy bed. Hotel is on busline convenient to the airport (take the X96) and to the Acropolis and center of town (take the A2). Good value for the rate I paid (60 euro/night). Breakfast is boiled eggs, savory cheese and cold cut slices, toast, cold cereal and beverages, accompanied by a responsive, chirping parakeet! Even the buildings behind the hotel are beautiful. Only complaints are thin walls, only a button lock on door and annoying flies in the dining area (front doors are usually ajar). But you won't be disappointed.
