Galileo Hotel is just a 5 minute walk from the train station. Very convenient, and over flat streets. The staff is outstanding, helpful and knowledgable. Nice breakfast with the package. Rooms and beds were small (in our room at least), but totally adequate. The hotel is within 10 minutes walk of almost all the Florence activities. Lots of restaturants (LOTS... More

Our room was spacious and clean. The staff was very gracious and helped us to book an excursion to a wine tasting in Tuscany. Location is great but is on a noisy road and not possible to sleep with the windows open. Windows are sound proofed though. Maybe ask for a room off the street.

We checked into the hotel on a hot day (room temperature was 26 degrees) and wanted to ring reception to ask about the air conditioning ... but the phone didn't work. So we went down to the desk and asked for help in getting the air conditioning to work, but were told that we were between seasons so the heating... More

This 2 star hotel was quite good. Clean, large room, big bathroom and free breakfast each day from 7:30 to 9:30. There was a safe in the room (that didn't work), a small fridge and a wardrobe to hold both hanging and folded clothes as well as a very light power blow dryer in the bathroom. The area was sooooo...

The staff is amazing, Stefano at the reception knows everything about Florence, best spots, restaurants and he also planned a trip outside in Tuscany!!! Room is simple but clean, the bathroom was a little small. Breakfast was great like a traditional Italian breakfast. Position is very close to Duomo and the station, we walked all the time. To sum up,... More

Great location. Walking distance to a lot. Breakfast typical. Staff friendly and helpful. Street view was good for some people watching. Busy street but not noisy...except for sirens of course.....would revisit.

Windows were opened by cleaners during the day on a day that was forecast for heavy storms. Due to the small rooms (which there is enough space to survive) our luggage was saturated.
