Overall: clean, well organised, well stocked, close to the centre, good vibes, safe and friendly. The staff were friendly. The Ladies' dormitory is separated from that of the men. They are basically in two different apartments. The ladies one is big, with a shared kitchen, a courtyard where I could hang my clothes. There are two bathrooms, plus extra toilets/bathrooms in the apartment next door where the reception is located. This means that despite the number of ladies, I didn't have to wait too long to use the bathroom. In general the vibe/the atmosphere is good and I felt safe. All around there were notes hanging giving tips to customers on how to use the shower/coffee machine, reminding them to leave everything clean, etc. Which was good because it seemed like the place was well maintained and organised. Moreover, I think the staff would have anything you could ask for (iron, towels, hairdryer, etc.) Again, well organised. The lady handling my check-in/out also gave me a map of the town with sightseeing tips, paths, places to visit. They also allowed me to leave my bag after check out so I could still sightseeing with hands free for a couple of hours more. Bonus: The kitchen was full of food! I don't know if it is an italian thing, but I did not see that much food in hostels abroad. There was pasta, bottles of tomato sauce, buiscuits, milk, yogurt, coffee, tea, rusks, jams and even granulated cold tea.

All hostels in Florence

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.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in! Modern, clean and comfortable, in a great location and no curfew or silly rules like being out of the room during certain hours!

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.
