Great place to unwind & relax; very private & well kept. The best place to stay on the island! Private beach was wonderful & extremely well kept. more

It may cost more than other places we had considered, but overall it was worth it. This was our first visit to Galveston and we chose The Galvestonian because of the reviews on Trip Advisor. We had a room with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a pull-out couch for 5 of us. Tons of room and a nice balcony. Great... more

Great place for families, staff was nice, gave us 2 bedroom when it became available (we originally had a 1 bedroom) Great pool and beach. Bring your own food and toys/floats for beach and pool. $25 umbrella/chair charge for beach. Not crowed during our weekend. Met some great families! Room was nice, fully equipped. All we needed was to bring... more

The staff is great... Carol, Amanda, Roz, Julissa, Rick... even their new manager, Alan! Many improvements since Ike and they continue to make the Galvestonian that much better as they complete their renovations. We love the fact that the property is located directly on the beach with a picnic area with grills and tables as you walk out to the... more

This was our first trip to Galveston since Ike. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. In the past, we had our own place on the west end for a while or would rent down that way. We decided to stay on the east end of the island because we'd heard that it had some good areas for collecting glass... more

We've previously stayed at the San Luis, the Hilton, the Galvez, the Holiday Inn, the Casa del Mar, and the Victorian. This was our first visit to the Galvestonian and we WILL be returning. Our family stayed two nights in unit 809, which is a small one bedroom. The unit was clean and comfortable, and we felt very safe during... more

We just completed a 5 day stay at the Galvestonian. Our first time to stay there, after a couple of friends recommended it. The place did not seem all that full, but our request for an updated unit was met with "not available". The unit was clean enough, but the rusty frying plans were not what we had in mind,... more

Our family (2 parents, 2 teens, 1 college student, 1 preteen, 1 grandma) has stayed at the Galvestonian for several years now, at least once or twice per year. We LOVE it! The pool, jacuzzi, picnic grounds, landscaping, staff, and everything else are just right! Once, we had an older unit that was not recently updated, but even that was... more

Spent two nights at the Galvestonian August 12. Loved every minute of it. Every nice thing said on the reviews is true. Very private. Far enough from everything but not too far to drive a few miles. Our large one bedroom was perfect for two people. It's a shame to see the large "brightly lit" new condo next door. It... more
