“Nice apartments on the beach front”

Reviewed 3 June 2013 via mobile

We stayed at the Galvestonian for a long weekend in February. We found the hotel very bright and well located on the beach front without any road to cross to get onto the sand. The one bedroom flat was well equipped but needed freshened up (new kitchen is overdue) and properly dusted. The view from the balcony was fantastic and... More

“Location, location, location!”

Reviewed 22 May 2013

We stay at the Galvestonian every time we go to Galveston in recent years because of its location. On East beach on the water, away from the crowds on the sea wall. You walk over the dunes to get to the water, not across a busy road. Not crowded like the sea wall with all the traffic. The units are... More

We had a great Mother's day weekend at this hotel. The room is a great size and layout for my small family of 3 and my husband's parents. Access to the beach and the pool were spectacular, I did not have to cross a busy road with my 2 year old. I also believe that they rake up the seaweed... More

This place is a little pricey, but there is not much choice in Galvestion to stay directly on the beach. The Galvestonian is a really nice property with a heated pool, and walking access to the beach. We went in March so it was still a little chilly. The kids (12 and 10) loved the pool and hot tub.
