Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love the Balcony Always great to stay at the Galvestonian but some units have a larger, deeper balcony that facilitates lounging, as does this one. The weather was perfect, the view was perfect, the balcony chairs were comfortable. All good. A quiet, relaxing weekend. ##### James H.

Reviewer Comments: Our condo was nice. quiet and clean. We were dismayed by the lack of access to do the beach...after traveling...Unusual for a 12 story facility. Service desk staff was marginally helpful, a bit stand-offish. ##### A guest from , This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Hanna S Natour and Susan K B. Aug 6, 2024 #### 1206 Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were extremely disappointed with the unit. This was the third time we stayed in this unit and we have been staying at the Galvestonian since 1986. The main outdoor patio was closed off and it is where we have so many memories of coffee in the morning, board game playing and enjoying the gulf air. Also, there were multiple leaks in the ceiling and the ice maker did not work. We had to go downstairs, get a key and go into a dark room to get ice. We were very disappointed with the entire experience. ##### Hanna S Natour and Susan K B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole H.

Reviewer Comments: Our family has stayed at the Galvestonian many times and it never disappoints!!! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Rooms are always spotless & well maintained and the view from any room is spectacular. We will never stay anywhere else! ##### Nicole H.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Galvestonian is in a great resort in a wonderful location and this unit should have five stars, with a large balcony and updated kitchen and bathroom. But we were very disappointed to see a dirty sofa and stained balcony chair cushions. Given that the owner hasn’t added the dining table place mats suggested in a prior review I’m not sure these issues will be addressed. ##### Malcolm P.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Have rented 1206 in the past. Lovely updates minimalist unit. 3 balconies; however the biggest one, which is our favorite because it’s deep and has shade was blocked as netting on rail was being replaced and not finished. It is such a comfortable unit. The shades on all the windows are great and easy to operate. Would rent again. ##### A guest from Houston, Texas This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy G. May 5, 2024 #### Galveston retreat Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my second time to stay at 1206 condo. It is so lovely . The condo has two wonderful balconies to view the gulf and the pelicans that fly by! It has always been super clean with all the amenities. It is so close to the strand and historic part of Galveston. Perfect for exploring. The beach is wonderful with many shore birds and shells. A great getaway. ##### Nancy G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Resort: Galveston-On The Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Galveston-On-The-Beach.h16815.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Moody-Gardens-Hotel.h157238.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Austin.h8778760.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hilton-Austin.h976145.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Fairmont-Austin.h18156638.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-Houston.h14986044.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt San Antonio River Walk](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Antonio-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-San-Antonio-River-Walk.h1848212.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Dallas.h24753.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Galveston Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Galveston-Beach.h39353237.Hotel-Information) > > [Austin Marriott Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Austin-Marriott-Downtown.h45866780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anatole](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Hilton-Anatole.h22945.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Fairmont-Dallas.h18280.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hotel-Galvez-Spa.h8509.Hotel-Information) > > [The LINE Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-The-LINE-Austin.h23193716.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Omni-Dallas-Hotel.h4488581.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Barton-Creek-Resort-Spa.h687230.Hotel-Information) > > [The Woodlands Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Conroe-Hotels-The-Woodlands-Resort.h25794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Galveston Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Hilton-Galveston-Island-Resort.h4553.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Van Zandt](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hotel-Van-Zandt.h10269315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston/Galleria](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-HoustonGalleria.h10620692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Austin-Downtown-University.h12302973.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Austin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Omni-Austin-Hotel.h8540.Hotel-Information) > > [The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-The-Post-Oak-Hotel-At-Uptown-Houston.h22340244.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Austin](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Austin.h21746.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Houston Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Houston.h20005.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Americas-Houston](https://www.expedia.ca/Houston-Hotels-Hilton-Americas-Houston.h976144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tremont House, Galveston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-The-Tremont-House.h9121.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Dallas Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Hotels-Sheraton-Dallas-Hotel.h43540.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21](https://www.expedia.ca/Galveston-Hotels-Harbor-House-At-Pier-21.h330270.Hotel-Information)
