Galileo Hotel

Breakfast was good -- varied, tasty, and fresh. Good location -- minutes to Duomo and other places of interest. TV had free channels in a variety of languages. Everything (except what I list under "didn't like") else was just fine.

In addition to what I pre-paid while booking, I was charged 5 euros per day for some sort of cover/tax/fee -- does not seem right. The front desk clerk was polite, well-informed, and spoke good English, but his breath smelled unhealthy. The shoe-shining machine on my floor was out of creme. I reported the problem Saturday afternoon, but it remained unaddressed through Sunday and Monday morning, when I left. The hotel's plumbing and other fixtures are ancient -- even if in good repair. For example, I was unable to figure out, how to raise the water-temperature in the shower to my liking.
