The Galvestonian is not a Hotel, it is an apartment complex that units that face the ocean. It has a very cleaning service. Our apartment was really nice. The pool is decent, but over the weekend we had families with unruly kids, who will throw up by the pool and jump in it. It is worth giving it a try,... More

Located on East Beach, the place to be, the Galvestonian is convenient, friendly, and has all the amenities we could ask for. We will return!

The highest rating is completely well deserved and earned. The grounds and lobby are immaculate and beautiful. Front desk staff is friendly and attentive. Our unit in the 12th floor had a spectacular view but I think ALL units have a super view. I am very picky about beds so I was so pleased that my unit had a good... More

Beautiful, well-maintained property. Excellent pool and really nice people. Staff was excellent - they were there when you needed them and unobtrusive when you didn't, even coming from behind the counter to help with the door when hands were full. The grounds were immaculate. We had a maintenance issue while we were there (faucet leaking under the sink) and they... More

Condo #1200 lovely three bedroom penthouse level condo on the east end of the building with the greatest views. Three couples spent New Years at this condo and had more fun than we could have imagined. This place has great beds, roomy den area and well equipped kitchen. The views from the numerous balconies cover both the beach and Galveston... More

We travel to Galveston for weekend get away's often and have stayed multiple places. Recently, we stayed at the Galvestonian. It has been close to 7 years since our previous visit to this condominium. What a pleasant surprise to see all the improvements and updating that has been done! Absolutely loved the towels provided for the beach/pool! We will definitely... More

What a great time we had. The weather knew we were coming. We had our grandson with us. We wanted to ride the Duck Boat, train and go see the ship, but we couldn't get him (6 yrs old) to leave the Condo. We stayed in a 2 BR 2 Ba that had been updated. It was really really nice.... More

We highly recommend The Galvestonian! We have been staying there for our family vacation every year since our kids were small. We've looked at other places and always come back to the Galvestonian because it is like a second home to us. We feel safe, secure, and love being away from the crowds on the seawall. The staff is always... More

We've stayed at the Galvestonian three years in a row. It is a wonderful resort. From the moment you walk in you, you are sincerely welcomed and told about the area, not just the resort. Every morning you can grab a cup of coffee in the lobby and head straight to the beach, which is a stones throw away. You... More

Other than our home town of Austin, Galveston is our favorite city in Texas, and the Galvestonian is now like home away from home. We've been guests at Thanksgiving every year for at least the last 16-17 years. We measure the time by our youngest son, who was 2 when we descended upon the Galvestonian with three generations at Thanksgiving.... More
