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

Hotel Albani Firenze

8/10 Good

"The croissants and cappuccinos at breakfast were delicious. It was in a good location, close to the train station. The room and staff were decent."

Maxim Axial

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is perfect if you want to explore the city … it’s clean and the lady at the front desk ( sorry trying to remember her name ) she’s very nice and sweet !"

The Social Hub Florence Belfiore

10/10 Excellent

"It's easy to reach on the tram, has good food, and is close to the center.I had a really good stay. The accommodations were comfortable, and everything went smoothly. I'd definitely recommend this place!"

Art Hotel Villa Agape

10/10 Excellent

"Simply beautiful and the perfect distance from hotel to Florence. The staff is very friendly."

c-hotels Ambasciatori

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is one of my favourite places to stay. The Hotel is ideally situated two minutes from Santa Maria Novella train station. The hotel is clean and the staff are good. My only downside - when I arrived the man on reception told me I had not paid for breakfast. As a result I only went down for breakfast on one day out of four. I went to pay my bill on checkout. I told the man I needed to pay for one breakfast and one bottle of spring water. The man told me I'd paid in advanced for breakfast each day. I was very disappointed at this as I'd only had one breakfast because I was told I hadn't paid in advance. I've stayed with C-Hotels on three occasions and this was the first time I had a bad experience. The other thing I would say is that I was served in the car by a young lady named Victoria. Victoria was courteous, helpful and very professional. She is a real credit to your company. I would visit again just to Buongiorno, mia bellissima amica. ❤️ Ti ho lasciato una bella recensione. Spero che ti piaccia quello che ho scritto! 😊 served by this excellent staff member. And the Cappuccinos were great and tasty."
