Everything was great! The hotel, room, common areas, breakfast, and all else exceeded our expectations. The location at first (one of our concerns) appears to be away from where you want to be, but in fact is pretty good. The neighbourhood is clean and calm, worth exploring on its own. And it's very close to center even by foot. And by tram, the distance to all tourist-interest areas is negligible (5-10 mins). At the hotel, Giovanni at reception, specifically, was amazing — we interacted a few times and he was always helpful and very friendly. Next time we are in Florence, we are definitely staying again at Re-Dama. : ) Thank you!

Very nice place. They have food for you and the rooms have just 4 beds, not bunk beds, which is nice. They also give you a towel, and the bathrooms have shampoo and soap. There's also a place to leave your bags

The atmosphere and the location were perfect. We fell in love with Florence staying at this place. All important attractions are within a walking distance and there are good restaurants just a few steps away from the hotel. And the place itself is beautiful and comfy.

All hostels in Florence

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
