We just relaxed and did nothing. Best couple of days. It was quiet and that is what we needed.

The Galvestonian is a great place to stay. The overall experience was amazing. In Galveston there are only three Condo's literally on the beach and by far my favorite is the Galvestonian.

My best friend and I have been coming to Galveston for many many years and this was the first at The Galvestonian. This was by far the best place we have stayed. Very relaxing and so beautiful. Great views, very clean condo and we had everything we needed. The hotel staff are so nice and go out of their way to help you. We will definitely be back!

Reviewer Comments:
Second time at this property, first in this unit. For the price, its a nice relaxing place to stay. Conveniently located on the East end, easy parking. The staff was very helpful and polite. The room having been remodeled was pretty clean. There were some mold spots in the shower/tub area. Thought there would be a Keurig but the front desk gave me some coffee to use in the Mr.Coffee. The bed was probably the worst part though, platform, no box spring and lumpy hard mattress and feather pillows. The view made up for most of the small issues. Access to the beach is easy but remember beach footwear as the sand is thick and HOT. Pool looked nice, the grounds in general were clean and pleasant. Yes it is an older property and you can tell. But... as long as the rates stay reasonable, we would come back.
The sofa bed was so uncomfortable it was unsleepable. The sheets for the sofa bed didn’t go to it. The fitted sheet was for a king bed and the cover sheet was for a twin. Would seem like the sheets would at least be a matching set even though the sofa bed was unsleepable.
