Hotel Galileo

The lady at reception was very accommodating and waited on the phone line until someone answered at the Accedamia to make me a reservation to see the David statue without waiting in line. She was very patient and was extremely friendly (as were all the staff). Also the mini-bar in the room is great if you just want to keep some of your own stuff in the fridge.

The showers are very weird. I thought I had seem every type of shower in Europe before but this one takes the cake. There is a moveable glass that swings out which covers only half the bathtub. The shower head is not at either end but in the middle facing down. Needless to say water goes everywhere and there is very little room to stand. Housekeeping staff know to bring a mop and bucket each day when they clean the rooms. Was the only negative about the place!

Comfortable, sparkling clean bathroom, good location.
