The experience at this hostel was beyond exceptional! The staff's warmth and eagerness to assist truly made a difference. The thoughtful inclusion of free towels and water added a nice touch to the stay. Engaging activities and a meticulously clean environment made the atmosphere vibrant and welcoming. The festive Christmas decorations and unique design created a charming ambiance. The delicious coffee and the convenience of an in-house restaurant were definite highlights. Moreover, the bustling bar with its lively events and diverse guests added an exciting dimension to the stay. Undoubtedly the best hostel experience I've had yet, leaving me eagerly anticipating my next visit!

The room overlooked a courtyard behind the basilica and was a pleasant change from other places I've stayed at. The hostel is in an old monastery and a delight to stay at. The relaxation area was extremely pleasant in another courtyard. The kitchen staff service was excellent. The provided locker was huge and built like a bank safe deposit box!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

We were initially hesitant about staying at a hostel but it was actually great. The bunk beds were clean and comfy. The staff was nice and helpful. It would have been great if there was a hook in the bathroom to hang towels or clothes. But otherwise, good stay. There are lockers to store your luggage safely as well.

The property is situated in a very quiet part of Florence. If you like to walk, it is the perfect hostel for you as it is a good 20 minute walk from the centre. It has complete facilities for both work, leisure and long stay. It has a coworking space, a bar and pool, and locker storage/laundry facility. Best for backpackers, students, and people on a budget looking for a cheap accomodation.

This is the most beautifully designed, well kept, fun and in general - best hostel in Florence. The price is good for the standards of the city, which means that anything cheaper won’t be worth the money. Apart from that, there is a free welcome drink and lots of other free goodies during your stay. However, the kindness, the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff is priceless. This all results with a great social connection between all the guests. I highly recommend it!

Stable and comfortable bed, with shelf, night light and power socket. In a dormitory there are a toilet room and a shower room, both with basins, and there are extra bathrooms outside the rooms. No queues at all. The best shower I've ever seen in a hostel. Big and safe lockers. Towel included in the price. In general a good and clean hostel, it looks like a hotel converted to hostel.
