Galaxy Hotel Downtown

Location was perfect, 1 block from downtown and 2 minute walk from the ports. There is enough street parking around (free 2hr or overnight effectively 8pm-10am) that you don't have to use the expensive valet parking if going around by car in the day. There are also cheap $1/hr lots 2 blocks away at Sundial or MAACM. The corner room was spacious and had great views. Had no issues with the TV/WiFi, and staff were pleasant to work with. Two fast elevators meant we got out quickly and easily.

LOCATION was excellent!!! We walked everywhere we wanted to go. So many restaurants, bars, public spaces, museums and parks to visit within a few blocks of the hotel. Staff was very friendly, check in/check out process was easy, valet was quick to bring the car around. The hotel room was spacious, and the extra amenities in the room like the robe and slippers were a very nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a positive experience. The location is absolutely perfect — right in the heart of downtown, with all the main attractions just a short walk away. The rooms were spacious, modern, and very clean, which made for a comfortable stay. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated. However, it’s worth noting that the hotel is brand new, and that was very noticeable. On my first night, it felt almost empty — like it was just me and the receptionist in the entire place. It gave off a slightly eerie vibe. There’s also still some construction going on, so certain amenities like the restaurant and rooftop terrace aren’t open yet. Once everything is fully up and running, I can see this place becoming a great spot. But for now, just be aware that it still feels like it’s in the “soft opening” phase.

Perfect central location, sparkly clean room, comfort and modern ambience, spectacular bay and downtown view, exceptionally helpful and professional staff. This was our first visit to St.Petersburg although dreaming for years to visit the one and only Dalí Museum here. My husband and I were delighted to discover an elegant, eclectic, artistic and vibrant beautiful city full of life, music and energy. I wish we had more time to stay, but there will be next time for sure. Special thanks and gratitude to Randy, Front Desk Supervisor, Paula and Ergul, and other receptionists on duty for their exceptionally professional service. Thanks to them, we have our new favorite location in Florida.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable visit. What really stood out was the exceptional service from the staff—especially Daniel at the front desk. He went above and beyond to assist me when I lost my Kindle, keeping me updated throughout the process until it was found and returned. His professionalism and kindness were truly appreciated. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for reliable service and a pleasant stay.
