The Hotel Benois has the best location on Galassas Beach. The beach is conveniently located across the street. It’s a beautiful sandy clean beach in a bay. It’s shallow for quite a while before it gets deeper. There are two excellent restaurants right next door. You can’t go wrong booking here!

We loved the staff, so friendly and helpful. We were having trouble booking one of our ferries, and the front desk girl took time to call the company and was able to book.
The food was incredible! The swimming pool and hotel grounds were so clean, and peaceful. We had a few relaxing pool days, and so much better than a resort in Mexico - not so busy and just lovely. I would highly recommend staying an Benois. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💞💕💗

This was a beautiful hotel. Great location and wonderful facilities. The room was lovely - our balcony faced the pool. The pool area is large with plenty of sunbeds ( though people still insist on saving sunbeds for the whole day, even when not using them - very annoying!)
Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced! We had breakfast each day, but also had some lunches and evening meals.
Would highly recommend and would return if we venture back to Syros!

This is a lovely hotel with equally lovely staff. It has a variety of charming sitting areas where you can have breakfast, dinner or just sit, drink and relax. Little more than a minute from an outstanding beach with a few other bars, restaurants etc. Not the usual Greek resort but it very quickly grows on you. The hotel restaurant’s menu looks at first glance, nice but not eye- catching. Oh my lord though, don’t judge that book by its cover. I had the greatest moussaka of all time - like no other. I might never order it again because it would never be as good. And the kebabs were pretty otherworldly too. Came away happy and very relaxed. Thank you all.

The entire staff of this hotel were welcoming and made you feel right at home. The rooms are cleaned every day. And equipped with all the amenities you need.

The rooms were nice. Very large balconies. The staff was very sweet. At breakfast they ran out of spinach pie, so the chef made us some to take with us when we left the hotel to go to the ferry!

A welcoming place to stay

A fantastic hotel ,away from the madding crowd , with excellent service and very helpful staff . The breakfast was the best I experienced while travelling around the Greek islands . The sandy beach area by the side of hotel is also a plus . Although a vehicle would be good to travel the island I found the bus service good as one can see many villages and beach areas travelling to the main town .
Highly recommended !

I don’t normally write reviews, but I absolutely had to in this case. The rooms are updated and super clean, but where they really shine is their customer service. And breakfast! Every single staff member I encountered was an absolute sweetheart who went above and beyond for any question/request I had. Then to top it off, the included home cooked breakfast was by far the best I had through my entire trip.

Quiet break in Galissas

Staff were very friendly. Breakfast good, typical Greek fare, yoghurt/omelette etc. Minibus pickup/dropoff from the port was very welcome. The receptionist even warned us of a ferry strike, which meant our travel arrangements were disrupted, if she hadn't, we would have missed an opportunity to leave the island, so thank you ! Galissas is quiet, around 5/6 bars/restaurants. Bus to Hermoupolis runs every 30 mins, but the last bus back is around 9PM, so its not really an option for a night out there, unless you pay for a taxi

Relax and enjoy the Greek way of life

small high quality hotel- nothing to fault about this place. 50m from the beach. Bus stop right outside - goes to the port and local villages/beaches, about 1 hour for a round trip. Hotel immaculate and well kept, staff so friendly and helpful. Looks exactly like the photos - good quality furnishings and relaxing outdoor areas with pool. I had a second floor room with large balcony with sea and sunset views. Fabulous breakfast- the homemade Greek yoghurt with honey is a must. You can also get the traditional Greek ‘dish of the day’. Or next door is a well stocked minimart, or walk 2-3 minutes to the half a dozen or so bars and restaurants in the village. Beach is vey safe with shallow waters, sand/shingle and plenty of room. The complementary pick up/drop off at the port by the owner is also appreciated. I travelled alone and felt very safe here and in Syros. Totally recommend this place, will definitely be back.

Wonderful hotel with the warmest staff.

We loved Hotel Benois from the moment we arrived, we were met with such a warm welcome!
Our room and bathroom were immaculately clean, the bed wonderfully comfortable and the shower excellent.
We didn't spend much time around the pool, but it is a great bonus to this hotel.
The breakfast was generous, with slightly different options each day, and most people opted to sit outside for their breakfast, which was much nicer than all being cooped up in a dining hall!
We hired a car, so explored different beaches around the island, and have to say that Galissas was our least favourite! But Galissas is a lovely area on the island, and there are also some great restaurants nearby.

I can't say enough about this hotel, especially considering the modest price. The hotel grounds are very attractive and well-maintained; english-speaking staff was cordial and professional. They have a very nice pool, which is enticing even though you're mere steps away from the beach. Very nice veranda, as well. Breakfast was above average and the food was kept stocked and fresh. It's only about a 10-15 minute taxi ride from the port; and the bus is also convenient, if you don't mind waiting for it. The local village is big enough to be active, but still very laid back and not busy; about 10-12 restaurant/bars. I would gladly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Διακοπές τον Σεπτέμβρη.

Ευχάριστο περιβάλλον.
Υπέροχη τοποθεσία. Βρίσκεται ακριβώς δίπλα στην παραλία Γαλησσάς.
Ευγενικό προσωπικό.
Το δωμάτιο ήταν καθαρό αν και λίγο μικρό.
Καλό πρωινό.
Την ώρα του πρωινού καλό θα ήταν να περιορίζουν για λίγο σε άλλο χώρο τις γάτες του ξενοδοχείου για να μην ανεβαίνουν στα τραπέζια.
Το πάρκινγκ ήταν δωρεάν και εντός του χώρου του ξενοδοχείου με το μόνο μειονέκτημα ότι το έδαφος ήταν χωμάτινο με αποτέλεσμα να σηκώνουν σκόνη τα αυτοκίνητα κατά την κίνηση και να λερώνουν τα παρκαρισμένα.

Betten wurden nur alle drei Tage vom Hotelpersonal gemacht (wurde mit Corona-Vorsorge begründet).
