Across many recent reviews of Hotel Galileo, travelers highlight its central, walkable location near the train station and sights, generally friendly staff, and clean rooms, while noting basic accommodations with small spaces, thin walls, and dated furnishings.
Multiple guests report ongoing renovations and occasional construction noise or clutter in common areas. Room comfort is mixed, with frequent comments about limited soundproofing, centrally controlled or underperforming air conditioning, and compact bathrooms where showers can be small or leak. Breakfast is widely described as simple but good, though seating can be tight at peak times. Expect a convenient base with straightforward comforts in a busy area.

I recently stayed at Hotel Galileo during my visit to Florence. While the hotel had its advantages, there were several issues that impacted my experience. On the positive side, the location is great. It’s conveniently situated near many of the historical sights, making it easy to explore the beautiful city on foot. This was definitely a highlight of my trip. However, there were several challenges during my stay. We experienced multiple power outages, which was quite disruptive and frustrating during the heatwave with 90 degree weather. Additionally, there was ongoing construction noise that made it difficult to relax in our room. Furthermore, upon arrival, I found that one of the rooms was not properly cleaned, which was disappointing. Overall, the hotel has a lot of potential due to its prime location, I hope they can address these issues for future guests.

This was a great hotel, I would stay here again. The room was clean, the staff was helpful and kind and the location was great! They let us store our luggage and placed it in our room when it was ready. It’s about a 7 minute walk from train station. The rooms were incredibly spacious. If I could give more stars, I would!

Cute and small hotel about a 15 minute walk to town center. Breakfast was good. Currently under renovation and somewhat dusty from same. Renovation supplies in common areas. Completed renovation in poor quality as the shower doors came off the track and fell on me coming out of the shower. Electric outlet in bathroom not working. Refrigerator not cooling. I think we could have done better for the money. On the upside, the sale market was around the corner where we picked up some nice leather items

Our family had 3 night at the hotel. Good and friendly service and clean rooms.! In the rooms we had on the 1th floor, you could hear everything: The A/C-ventilator, every step of the people on the hallway, workmen hammering somewhere in the building and the traffic.. We did expect some noise, but this was much!! Earplugs are recommended! The breakfast was ok, but due to rebuilding, there were lack of seats in the dining area, which in some mornings did, that some guest could not be seated. The hotel has a good location to walk to the entire city center

this place was totally misleading. all of the pictures are from the one suite they have. no rooftop or balcony like they make the rooms look. the air condition wouldn’t go below 26°celsius and we woke up miserable and drenched in sweat. not sure if this is would have been fixable as we only stayed one night. the place was fine for it but absolutely not what we thought it’d be

Though the staff were helpful when we raised this to them they apologised and were resigned, and idicated it is a repeated problem. If staying again i would opt for another hotel at the same price point.

Room was clean however, the ac was not in. I spoke with the manager in the early hours of the evening and told him that the room was warm and to please cool it down. He said he would do that. In the middle of the night, it was so hot that I once again went downstairs to request cooling. However, nobody was at the front desk so it was not a great night. I could’ve opened the windows, but then it was too noisy. So I would give them a once again went downstairs to request cooling. However, nobody was at the front desk so it was not a great night.

The property was fairly close to all the major sites and the train station. The rooms are very small, but we didnt stay in them very long, shower-sleep, Nice bathroom w/shower and clean. Could walk to most everything so no real need for taxi. Tram was bout 5 blocks away which took us to day trips. We did not use the breakfast option, didnt look that great, similar to the cheap american hotel breakfasts.

Please be aware there is absolutely no soundproofing at this property. We found the road noisy and especially the internal hallways. The door unlock system was extremely loud and you could hear throughout the entire floor. If you wanted to turn the air conditioning on and off you had to call to the front desk. It is 24/7 but not really a viable option in the middle of the night when someone else is sleeping. Room was very small. Location was an acceptable walk from the train station and found walking the city easy enough throughout our stay.

Para empezar, el personal no es amable y cuando le preguntas algo no saben nada. El cuarto, es diminuto. Éramos dos personas y con trabajo cabíamos. Nada sirve en el cuarto (fue el 123). La caja fuerte no cerraba; la calefacción hacía un ruido espantoso; solo hay agua caliente en la noche para bañarte (si te quieres bañar por la mañana, aguántate el frío [y si, estábamos en pleno diciembre aquí]); el escusado tenía un botón para jalar y podía estar corriendo el agua todo el día y no paraba (había que presionarlo y jalarlo para que funcionara); los muebles son más viejos que nada; la ventana no cerraba por completo; la cerradura de la puerta hace demasiado ruido; el internet (wifi) no funciona y no había más que un enchufe en toda la habitación. Ahora, contaré lo que estaba bien: es muy céntrico; el baño es nuevo (aunque con poco espacio), las sábanas y el colchón estaban bien; también las toallas y las sábanas estaban limpias. Jamás me volvería a quedar aquí. No lo recomiendo en absoluto.

Great location near train station and Florence sites. Easy to walk to many locations and to/from the train station. The room was clean and surprisingly big! That was a really nice surprise as we had to repack our bags and we had plenty of space. Staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast was simple but good. The only complaint was the small shower - I’m petite so I managed but my tall husband had a bit more trouble. Overall I would recommend!

Location was perfect - easy 8min walk to/from train station and walkable to all sightseeing spots. Breakfast was great; staff was super friendly and helpful. Good wifi, near market and food, always felt safe. Its quite loud at night but the location itself was well worth it. Would stay again.

Our family had 3 night at the hotel. Good and friendly service and clean rooms.! In the rooms we had on the 1th floor, you could hear everything: The A/C-ventilator, every step of the people on the hallway, workmen hammering somewhere in the building and the traffic.. We did expect some noise, but this was much!! Earplugs are recommended! The breakfast was ok, but due to rebuilding, there were lack of seats in the dining area, which in some mornings did, that some guest could not be seated. The hotel has a good location to walk to the entire city center

This was a nice hotel that was walking distance to everything we wanted to do in Florence, close to the train station and close to all of the main tourist attractions. The breakfast they have is pretty limited, just a very small assortment of pastries, juices,and coffee. It’s good if you need something to eat in the morning, as we were unable to find any cafes open nearby (before 8am) unless you want to go to the McCafe near the train station. The room itself was decent, the bed was comfortable and quiet. The AC does not go below 25c. The area the hotel is in is also good, we had no worries walking back at night. I’d stay here again

Breakfast varieties are ample with good staff serving. Hallway seems to be under renovation and looks messy and the room was quite clean.

Buona posizione. Personale molto disponibile. Camera assegnata molto silenziosa essendo all interno cortile con gradevole balconcino. Pulizia molto buona. Da consigliare Elevato tassa soggiorno a persona, euro 6, che porta il costo totale non molto economico.

Our family room was very big with plenty of space. Breakfast was good however the area was small. You book a time to eat which was fine by us. They will store your luggage if you arrive early or leaving late.

Clean & comfortable. Bed was bigger than expected. Breakfast was delicioys & an amazing value - don't skip this! Bathroom was small but modern & the plumping was great (awesome water pressure in shower). Was great for our short stay, but might feel small for a multiday trip.

This hotel was nice for the short time we stayed. The rooms were pretty basic but clean. It was right in the center of town so it was a quick walk down the Main Street from the tram/train station. It was also a short distance away from the main tourist area. They offered a nice continental breakfast for $10 a person per day. Definitely suitable for quick breakfast before heading out on an excursion. The staff was very friendly and attentive and wanted to help with anything you may need. Only thing I would say is since the rooms are very basic there aren’t any hooks or shelves in the bathroom to place towels or toiletries, just the little space around the sink and hanging the towel on the shower curtain rod. No pictures or paintings either in the room, which isn’t really that big a deal. All in all a nice, comfortable stay for our 3 night getaway to Florence.

This was our first trip to Italy, and this was the first hotel we stayed in during our journey. It’s just a short walk from the train station and is close to so many great sites and restaurants. It was easy to navigate the city from here. The room was clean and charming and the breakfast was perfect!

We truly enjoyed our visit to Hotel Galileo! Great location and close to Stazione. Taxi service called from hotel is quick and efficient! Close Walk to Mercato Centrale & Galleria de Academia et al. Breakfast was worth paying for in advance or daily. Nice continental display. Bedroom enough size for two. Bathroom was very nice and roomy! Will go there again!
