Not sure where to start rating this amazing place. I only review places I stay at if I am overly happy or unhappy with my experience. As the name suggests, this is a real Palace with probably a history of 1000 years standing tall & might have housed the big fiorentino/a names of the past. Entering the historical building for the first time was like going back to middle age time when I saw the stairs leading up to reception area…I thought to myself that I was going to spend only 1 night …I ended up staying 7 nights with a back & forth movement. Little did I know what was waiting for me inside. Highlights -1- People – the friendliest and most professional staff I’ve come across in my many travels around the world. You can’t fault any of the team members and it’s very rare! From the special Enis with unbeatable customer experience skills, charming Cho with a disarming smile, cheerful and passionate Donald to Elio the not common manager but rather an inspirational leader of all time, you’re guaranteed to spend the very best of your time in the right place. Really special mention to the manager who is able to organise a such wonderful team. 2- Location right in the heart of historical center in front of Basilica di San Lorenzo and the Medici Chapel – all other main attractions are within 5-20 min walking distance. 3 – Cleanness – beyond expectations-They beat some 4 stars hotels I’ve stayed at – Facilities management is at high end with rooms cleaned & bed made daily & sheets changed every 3 days. 4 - Rooms – Talk about comfort, If lucky enough like me you’ll have R2 – Huge ensuite 4 -bed female room with the highest ceiling and over 300-year-old fresco, big lockers and quiet air condition. A guarantee to big dreams!!5-Kitchen -cleanest with Quick cooking space & 24 hour free Italian coffee, life saver for busy travellers. I could go on and on with praise ...

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.
