Galanopoulos Hotel
Open-air bath and sun terrace near the thermal springs
About this hotel
The open-air bath is the feature that separates this address from the other modest hotels along the strip, and it fits a town whose whole reputation rests on hot water. The sun terrace sits alongside it and holds the afternoon, while the lounge, casino and 24-hour front desk keep the ground floor busier than the two-star rating implies. Rooms are practical rather than designed, with balconies, air conditioning, a work desk and a minibar, and a washing machine and car hire on site make a longer stay easier to run. Loutraki Beach and Loutraki Thermal Spa are both a short walk, the Corinth Canal and Ancient Corinth are nearby, and Athens airport is 110 kilometres east.
- Open-air bath and sun terrace
- Family rooms with balconies
- 24-hour front desk and lounge
- Car hire and washing machine
Our take
Galanopoulos Hotel is a simple two-star hotel that guests rate very highly, with family rooms, balconies, air-conditioning and a work desk, TV and free WiFi in each room. A sun terrace, an open-air bath, a lounge and a 24-hour front desk complete the offer, and Loutraki Beach is a short walk away. I would choose it for families and couples who want a practical seaside base without resort extras.
- ✓Use the open-air bath late in the day, once the sun terrace has cooled and the crowd has gone to dinner.
- ✓Arrange the car hire at reception rather than at the airport if you only need it for two days.
- ✓Walk to Loutraki Thermal Spa in the morning and come back through the market streets behind the front.
Why we love it
- An open-air bath in the town of thermal springs
- A sun terrace that catches the whole afternoon
- Car hire arranged on site for Ancient Corinth
- A short walk from both the beach and the spa
Why guests love itGalanopoulos Hotel is a two-star hotel in Loutraki with family rooms that have air-conditioning, private bathrooms and balconies. Loutraki Beach is a short walk away, so beach time with children needs no car. The sun terrace and open-air bath give a place to relax back at the hotel, and the 24-hour front desk and lounge help with late arrivals. A washing machine is handy on longer stays. I would book it for families who want a simple, well-rated base near the beach.
