Hotel Galilei

😐 Overrated for a 4-star hotel, but convenient for short stays Hotel Galilei is a practical choice if you need to be close to Pisa Airport and Pisa Centrale train station. However, despite being rated 4 stars, it feels somewhat overrated. The rooms are clean and functional but show signs of wear, and some can be noisy due to poor sound insulation. The location is in an industrial area, which is not appealing or safe to walk around at night, and it’s quite far (about 3 km) from the historic center and the Leaning Tower. If you want to explore Pisa, I’d recommend staying closer to the city center. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast is decent, but overall, the hotel doesn’t quite meet the expectations of a 4-star property. Suitable mainly for short stays or travelers with early flights or train connections.

We chose Hotel Galilei in Pisa for its convenient location near the airport. The staff were friendly and the restaurant offered good-quality food. However, upon arriving at our room, we noticed a strong unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke throughout the entire floor and inside the room itself. Additionally, the facilities overall seem a bit neglected. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again.

This hotel is not good. Bed was extremely uncomfortable, the floor was very dirty, the walls were so thin I could hear the guest next door’s phone alarm go off. The staff were unhelpful - we requested a cot for our toddler and were told it would be in the room. It wasn’t - and when it did come it was partly broken and dirty. There was a safe which was good. The location is handy for the airport with free parking. Breakfast was ok. Ultimately it doesn’t deserve 4 stars and certainly wasn’t worth the money we paid.
