The best location you can get in Florence! ♥️ just don’t book the rooms in the innermost part bcos there is no wifi. The best room is 107 for solo travelers like me 😊

It was just so-so, and the price was a bit high.

The bathroom was leaking, and the air conditioning was terrible.

Terrible experience!
Our room was freezing cold, the water was cut off, and there was a horrible smell coming from the sink in the bathroom. We reported these issues several times — staff even came to check but simply said “there’s nothing we can do.”

When we called reception again, we were told “you are lying,” which was absolutely shocking and completely unacceptable. We also tried to contact management by email and never received a response.

Overall, this was one of the most uncomfortable and disappointing hotel experiences we’ve ever had.

It's like a guesthouse at a domestic train station... extremely basic.
The elevator smelled musty, the bathroom was tiny, I wouldn't recommend staying here. It's not very convenient to drag your suitcase to the station either... The blankets weren't even properly covered.

The location is good; the train station and several other major attractions are within a 10-minute walk. The room is small, and the towel rack is too high.

The location is not bad, as it's just 10 minutes from the train station and right in front of the market. There's an elevator and a water purifier, so you can get both cold and hot water.

We spent nearly a week at Hotel Galileo in December. I booked through AA’s rewards program with miles and that platform is a little different than others when it comes to communicating with hotels. However, Hotel Galileo had wonderful communication with us. We were arriving by train from Rome and they were able to confirm the correct stop for us. When we arrived, they immediately upgraded our room at no additional charge. The room was charming and comfortable. The front desk was helpful anytime we asked for recommendations (at 10pm in search of the best panini for the win!). Overall a great place to stay.

It was an okay experience. I came to Florence to celebrate mine and my cousin’s birthday. I thought the hotel looked nice in the photos and loved the Italian touch in the deco. I booked the room months ahead and I swear I made sure to pick a slightly bigger room, and I specifically remember going a little over the basic room price to make sure to get a fairly big one. Somehow when you arrive you are never given the room you think you picked and you saw in the picture. Turns out I was only allowed a basic very small room. So small, we couldn’t unpack, which is really uncomfortable. A little disappointing, but it was an okay stay. Next time I’m in Florence, I’m renting an apartment for sure, hotels if not 5 stars are just too tiny in Italy.

We stayed here for 1 night only, and Cristina, the receptionist who greeted us, was exceptional! She gave us all the information we needed on our trip to Florence. She also suggested a few local restaurants that serve authentic local dishes. It is located near the railway station and just 10 mins walk to the Duomo.
