San Gallo Palace Hotel Florence

Quaint hotel. Very clean. Close enough for the convenience, but quiet and away from the noise of the city.

Great hotel, Reasonable rate great service Free breakfast Location about a 20 min walk from the center of Florence Only minor detail was that WIFI was not included

My friend and I stayed two nights at this hotel. Beware the steep steps up from the front door; hopefully your bags won't be too heavy because it appeared that all the hotels were up a flight of stairs. This room was small and a bit old, but it was just fine for our purposes. It was clean, well-maintained, and quiet. The beds were a bit hard. The bathroom had a hairdryer. The shower was small, but big enough. The hotel claimed to have free wi-fi in the lobby, but sadly it does not work with smart phones... how very strange. The breakfast was very nice, in a lovey dining room. The coffee was horrible (as it was at all our hotels in Italy). We really liked the location. It was right by the train station which is sooo important in Venice. You DO NOT want to walk all over with suitcases looking for your hotel. And the water buses and taxis are EXPENSIVE. This also meant that it was away from the massive crowds that are swarming the tourist areas. We could actually walk freely in our neighborhood. This may not be a problem the whole year, but our trip was in tourist high season August. It was also next door to the best (and cheapest) gelato shop of our whole Italy trip!

We stayed two nights at this hotel. It was a little bit of a distance to the tourist areas compared to a lot of the hotels, but worth the little walk for the quality and the price. This hotel was beautiful. It must be new or recently remodeled. It was as nice as any 4 star American hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable (although the beds were a bit hard). The bathroom had a full bathtub, which my friend and I each excitedly used after our long day of sightseeing. It also had a hairdryer and converted outlet. There was wi-fi for a fee, but it was cutting out. You could use the internet on the computer in the lobby, but that also was for a fee, which I found odd. The breakfast was nice, and we ate on a beautiful, peaceful patio.

This was a very nice hotel, but it's very far from downtown, and not as close to the train station as it looked on the map. It's about a 20 minute walk to the Duomo, and the hotel staff said that's the best way to get there (in other words, there doesn't seem to be a bus route that's easy). We had an actual queen bed (as opposed to 2 twins pushed together, as many hotels had) and the room was very clean, if not large. The bathroom was very nice and it had a rain shower and spouts on the side, too. The breakfast was very good as well and we ate outside on a nice patio.

The TV doesn't work well, but besides that it's a great hotel. Great location and parking is only 10.00 euro per day. Very clean and hotel staff were very nice and helpful.

Very nice hotel, nice accomodations. Room was spacious, very clean and up-to-date furniture and decoration. Staff was very friendly and helpful. 10 minute walking distance from Galleria della Accademia. Overall great experience.

This is a very nice property situated away from the hustle and noise of the old city center and its crowds. It's an easy walk to all the sights and there is a great pastry place nearby on the walk to/from the center of town. Breakfast was good as well with a nice and varied selection of items from sliced meats, pastries, cereals, yogurts, fruit, and eggs. The staff was attentive but unobtrusive.

Zentraler Ausgangsort, zu Fuss ist es allerdings etwa 20 Minuten ins Zentrum. Fahrräder kostenlos verfügbar und auch Busse fahren stets. Wir sind aber gelaufen da es spannend ist.... Hotel sehr empfehlenswert, allerdings muss man um 12 draussen sein... Frühstück überschaubar aber sehr gepflegt. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Quiet hotel and location, at walking distance from all the famous sites in Florence. We brought our 10-month old daughter, and the hotel was the perfect starting point for our walks (with stroller) into the old city. Staff was very friendly, room was great, and breakfast was the perfect start for our long days in Florence. If we ever return to Florence (we're certainly planning to), we'll be returning to this hotel for sure.
