Top Galileo Museum - Institute and Museum of the History of Science Hotel Reviews

Hotel Paris

8/10 Good

"Air conditioner in room did not work well - even on the coldest setting. Room was stuffy and uncomfortable sleeping."

Hotel Santa Maria Novella

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful and the staff was very helpful."

Hotel Calimala Florence

10/10 Excellent

"The location was amazing. Just a few minutes from everything. We would stay here again"

The Social Hub Florence Belfiore

8/10 Good

"This is our second stay at the Social Hub Florence Belfiore. I can't recommend it enough. The pool on the roof is a game changer when the heat is in the high 30s and it's a 50m pool which is incredible. Plenty of room for everyone who seemed to want to go for a dip or sunbathe. It's such a great space. The beds was comfortable and the room was spacious and it was so nice to have aircon - although there is a limit on how low you can turn this to, which was a shame, particularly when, as a woman, you are hormonal! The only small negative for us was that our room was changed when we arrived and we were in the building accessed not via the main entrance but by the side entrance. All fine, it was a nice and quiet but we didn't have a coffee maker/espresso pods as we did on our previous stay and as the room type suggests. There was no price list in the room so we didn't know what was complimentary or not so we didn't have anything."

The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the hotel is conveniently located in a quiet sector accessible by public transportation and 10 to 15 minutes walking distance to main attracttions. It has a terrace with an amazing panoramic view of the city, a bar and a swimming pool. There are numerous spaces to hang out and work, and a lovely patio with great ambience."

Hotel Pendini

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is so conveniently located! We were able to walk wherever we wanted to go. The breakfast had a variety of options and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. We didn’t leave for our train station on the last day until 430. They had no problem letting us store our luggage until we had to go.. Every day they had fresh water, juice, and hot water for tea with cookies during the day if you wanted to a quick refreshment or a snack. I would 100% recommend this hotel."

Grand Hotel Cavour

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous"

Hotel Lungarno - Lungarno Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel! The location is prime, views and steps to the Ponte Vecchio, restaurants, and shopping. The staff was attentive to our needs and made check in/out swift and seamless. Our room was an Arno-view room with a terrace and it was fabulous. A must-stay property in Firenze."

Hotel degli Orafi

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Staff , room and breakfast ."
