The room was soundproof and complete with an exceptional choice of "dolce" and great double glazed windows. The hotel's location is excellent and favorable, right next to major tourist sites, the train station, and the city center. The nearby La Cocotte Restaurant is a great place to chill out.

Quaint and pretty standard hotel, fits for rest in Florence. All the rooms are neat with 2 wide beds and the staff are affable! The location close to a train station is favourable and magnificent.

I recently stayed at a hotel that was conveniently located near the main city center. It was just a short walk from the train station, making it easy to explore the city. The room was clean and comfortable, with large double glazed windows that kept out any street noise. The staff at the hotel were friendly and accommodating, helping us with booking day trips and providing recommendations for local restaurants. The breakfast offered a variety of options, including croissants, bread, ham and cheese, fruits, yogurt. it was a great stay and I would highly recommend it.
The only downside was that the air conditioning needed to be controlled by reception, which was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel was easy to reach on foot from the train station, also the public transport was close by, the equipment of the room was very nice, the room was located to the side of the inner courtyard and was nice and quiet, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the WLAN was very good.
In the room there was only one easily accessible power socket, a second one we discovered under the desk, which was a bit cumbersome to reach, a third one we found by chance hidden behind a bed. In the bathroom the shower was a little bit leaking, afterwards there was always a puddle in front of it (clear lime deposits). There was a hanging shelf for the towels, but this hung directly above the toilet, also the door to the bathroom squeaked. The breakfast could use more variety (more fruits and vegetables, eggs, cheese). When opening the room door the buzzer is actually a little loud. There was a TV in the room, but only with Italian channels.

I stayed at Hotel Galileo for 6 nights and it was a great experience. The staff were helpful and provided advice on restaurants and navigating the city. The room was spacious and the double glazed windows blocked out street noise. The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and has an elevator. The breakfast was generous and provided a good start to the day.
Would be happy to recommend this hotel.
