Stayed at the Harbor house on a Friday night. Saturday, my family and I tried the continental breakfast. We found out one of the croissants had mold on it. I informed the front desk agent. She tried to let the continental breakfast attendant know about it but couldn't because of a language barrier. I was told that a manager would... More

I booked 5 rooms from Harbor House house for the 10th of December. I also booked a room on the 3rd of December, because I wasnt certain which date I would actually take my cruise. To my knowledge I canceled the room on the 3rd and kept the others. I called throughout the year to verify reservations and the receptionist... More

Thanks for your post. While my intent would be to never debate a guest on Tripadvisor you tell a completely different story here than when you called the hotel directly. When you called us you stated you forgot to cancel the earlier date. We held the room for you as we do all our guests and if you do not... More

First the good, the staff was responsive and good natured. The location was great for Dickens on the Strand. You are within walking distance of restaurants. But, parking was a joke. Even though they have a private lot, there was not enough parking (finding the entrance to the lot when we first arrived was a task in itself). And you... More

Thanks for staying with us. I'm glad you found our staff helpful but we should have adjusted your rate for the AAA/AARP discount. I am sorry about the parking situation. The success of the cruise ships hadsincreased our challenges with parking although we have made some changes to rectify this so please give us another try when you come back. More

My wife and I arrived at the Harbor House a bit earlier than we anticipated on Wednesday, December 14th. (Driving through Houston at any time of day is problematic.) The small lobby was cheerfully decorated and the lady who checked us in, Linda, was just as cheerful. She found us a room (early) and gave us the rundown on the... More

If you want to see 'old' Galveston you have to stay here. We stayed 'off season' and had a good rate. In summertime it is much to expensive, but you are in walking distance of the strand, the harbour and good restaurants. During our stay not many visitors and a quiet night sleep, but we think in high season it... More

We had a wonderful stay at the Harbor House. We had a beautiful room. It was very clean. You could see the harbor from our window. We watched the cruise ship come into port. Which was so amazing and exciting. The only down for this hotel was you had to pay an extra $10 a night to park there each... More

This is the second year we have stayed at Harbor House and then stepped out their doorway for Dickens on the Strand the next morning. We absolutely love it. They have nice restaurants right next door, it's on the water, the rooms are nice and the beds are comfy, what more could you want? We love it, and we will... More

Small boutique hotel, best thing going for it is it's proximity to the cruise port. Tiny lobby almost hidden, three floors, small area on 2nd floor withbtv where continental breakfast is served. Breakfast is coffee, pastries and juice. Basket with fruit is available all day. We had a regular room, (all rooms have a view) two queens, a couch and... More

My wife and I stayed here back in September prior to a cruise. It was a great experience for the most part. The day we arrived it was late morning but our room was ready. The front desk agent was fantastic and had even made special arrangements for us to be in a room with a view of the harbor... More

We stayed for two nights, mainly because the location was advantageous to where we needed to be. Nice views of the harbor, walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Contrary to what others have said, we found the bed quite comfortable, the mattress firmness just right. Also, we had no problem with the light. True it’s dim when you first turn... More
