Breakfast

The breakfast at Gallia Palace Hotel - Relais & Châteaux boasts delicious food with options by the beach and at breakfast time. While some guests found it to be perfect, others felt it was a bit inconvenient due to Covid restrictions. Although breakfast, lunch and dinner were impeccable, some felt that the breakfast did not meet the standards of a 5-star hotel with low-quality products and pastries that weren't up to par. Despite the excellent orange juice and fruit, others found the viennoiseries and bread to be mediocre and the pancakes were hard and cold. Some guests mentioned that the breakfast experience was a bit cumbersome and long-winded. While some felt the breakfast could be improved, others found it to be unworthy of a 5 or even 4-star hotel and compared it to a Sanatorium's buffet.

Dinner

Guests of the Gallia Palace Hotel - Relais & Châteaux have had mixed experiences with the dining options offered by the hotel. While some have absolutely loved the exceptional food and service provided by the restaurants, others have found fault in the overly elaborate menus and high prices.

However, many agree that the restaurants offer great food with the beach restaurant in particular standing out as exceptional. Ultimately, while some guests have loved the dining options, others have found them to be hit or miss.

Rooms

The Gallia Palace Hotel - Relais & Châteaux is a beautiful hotel with old school Italian style, offering superb facilities and a very comfortable stay. While some rooms may be on the small side, the cleanliness remains a consistent highlight and the welcoming service is always a standout feature.

However, there are also spacious and bright options available, such as the Junior Suite with two bedrooms, a bathroom with a tub and shower and a walk-in closet. Guests have noted issues such as outdated decor, dusty furniture and impractical pillows, but overall, the hotel provides a satisfactory stay with a level of room quality that some reviewers rate at 4 stars.

Cleanliness

The Gallia Palace Hotel - Relais & Châteaux is spotlessly clean with guests raving about the immaculate condition of both the rooms and the entire property.

Even room service receives high marks for its attention to detail, going above and beyond by providing extra towels and ensuring a "sehr sauber" environment. While a few guests found minor issues in their rooms, such as a dusty TV cabinet or a bathroom fan that needed cleaning, these seem to be the exception rather than the rule. Overall, the cleanliness of the Gallia Palace Hotel is a standout feature that visitors can count on for a comfortable, hygienic stay.
