This is a very nice place. It’s cozy and comfortable. It’s a great location downtown to walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed eating in the old drugstore below us. They are very quick to answer any concerns and quick to provide solutions. I would definitely stay here again.

Cozy beautiful Historical Loft

We loved this historical loft so much!! I've stayed in many bnb's in Galveston and this was as cozy as being at home and very clean. Had everything we needed! All we needed for a cup of morning coffee, a sound machine, comfy couch although we were out alot. It's within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and all the Strand has to offer. Our hostess was available for anything we needed. We will stay again!!

Elegance on the Island

When I arrive inside this beautiful loft I was immediately more relaxed. This historic loft is elegant and comfortable at the same time. The couch and bed was where I fell asleep easily while catching up on some reading. Everything was perfect and included a welcome note with pastries from the host. I cant wait to return.

Stellar Experience

Excellant & immediate communication throughout the exerience & stay. Facility itself beautifully beyond all expectations! Beautifully decorated, welcoming, roomy & extremely comfortable as though a 5 star hotel, yet it felt like entering & staying in a family home. Truly a superb example for all Verbo locations! Have already bragged & highly recommended to many people. Genuinely cannot think of any improvements! Bravo, bravo Star Lofts in Gslveston! GHAlfird

Beautiful Space on the Strand

This property is conveniently located in the center of the wonderful shops and delicious cafes. The layout was cleverly engineered for some separating spaces yet connected areas. The piano was a wonderful addition, which we enjoyed .
