Good things: very well located right in the centre of the city. No need to use the bus, everything is at walking distance. People in the hotel are very friendly. Bad things: The smell of the hotel was terrible. The bathroom was not properly clean. Some rooms are big but others are very small. The breakfast is one of the... more

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights and couldn't wait to leave. The room we had was on the second floor on Via Nazionale and I can best describe it as depressing. I didn't have any problem with the noise from the street as I could not hear it over the noise coming from the airconditioner. The breakfast room... more

My husband and I recently stayed at the Hotel Galileo for four days. The hotel was a good value and the location was very convenient (walking distance to all attractions, close to train station, safe location). The service at the hotel (Barbara at the reception) far exceeded our expectations. It was the great service that made our stay at Hotel... more

We were impressed with the size of our room, particularly its spacious bathroom--including what seemed like a luxurious bathtub (compared to other places I've stayed in Europe). The staff was friendly and very helpful--the front desk even helped us call ahead to our B & B in Cinque Terre to get directions, info, etc. We were able to roll our... more

I booked this hotel after finding it in Rick Steves' Florence book. I contacted them online and was able to reserve rooms easily through e-mail. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the Santa Maria Novella train station, on a busy street. Because of this, the noise at night, even with the windows closed, can be a little much.... more

We stayed four nights at the Hotel Galileo in Florence during March 2008. We found it to be in a great location----------we could walk to everything. The hotel was very clean which is always important to me. It's a basic hotel and the morning breakfast was a nice way to start your day. The price was very reasonable and I... more

I traveled thru italy for 3 weeks and this was the only hotel that i had to pay for internet service. There were internet... more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Galileo during our 2 night stay in Florence in mid Dec 2006. The hotel was further from the main train station than I expected (8 minutes walk) but it was a good hotel. The room was clean, of an adequate size and with a wonderful shower. It was not as noisy as what... more

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel and found it very comfortable. It is in a good location for walking to all of the Florence sights, it is very clean, there is plenty of very hot water. Our room was a good size with plenty of space for lots of luggage. There is nothing fancy about this hotel but it... more
