Central to markets, restaurants and culture

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Cons: The TV was not tuned to any English speaking language channels and for 5 nights no one could fix it.
Location: Very central to the center of Florence and 5 minutes to the station for day trips.
We found the hotel clean, friendly and centrally located. It was great having reception manned 24 hours and the staff were very helpful. The room was spacious with a good sized bathroom. The only drawback was the hotel was on a very noisy street but with the very effective windows and shutters, sleep was easy. We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Galileo.

Basic but functional. Little bit outdated. Good AC which you will need during summer. Very good location, everything you want to see is in the walking distance. Lots of places to eat and shop.
