We stayed in the San Gallo Palace Hotel in July for three nights. We were very impressed with this hotel. The hotel is located beside a busy road, but we did not find this a problem. We walked to and from the hotel at night and felt safe in doing so. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were even... more

We can't say enough good things about the San Gallo. We stayed here as part of our tour around Italy, and couldn't have found a better place than this hotel in Florence. First and foremost, the staff were all unbelieveably friendly and welcoming, particularly Luca on the front desk who could not do enough for us, but every single staff... more

Although rated 4*, it has some of the five-star hotel amenities. Our room was specious and nicely decorated, bathroom was perfectly clean, window was sound-proof... more

Just got back from a 3 night stay at the San Gallo Palace. What a great hotel in a beautiful city! We arrived by train from Venice and took 2 cabs to the hotel(5 people and way too much luggage). A cab is a must if you have luggage. You can walk it but would not be fun with luggage.... more
