Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Not right in the main square — The hotel is a fair way from the main town square, so it's better suited to guests who don't mind a walk to reach the old town's central attractions.
- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower than other aspects — While guests didn't complain in reviews, the overall category for rooms and cleanliness sits at 7, lower than dining and location.
- Price and service value is moderate — The price and service category scores a 7, suggesting that while service is good, some guests may find value for money not exceptional.
- Breakfast can be underwhelming for some — One guest found the breakfast not brilliant, though sufficient to keep going until lunch.

8.6Verified guest“My room was comfortable and had a bath. The food was reasonably priced with a wide variety on the menu. The location was superb, a short walk to a big shopping centre, and there was an in-house taxi.”
8.6Verified guest“I liked the design and how new the hotel felt, although it is a fair way from the main town square. If you enjoy walking, you can reach most places from here. Other trips can be easily arranged by the hotel, and taxis can be booked for your return to the airport. Breakfast wasn't brilliant, but there was enough to keep you going until lunch. Rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, and the en-suite shower was fabulous. The hotel was extremely clean, though the towels could be thicker and softer. I would definitely stay at the Galaxy again.”
