The hostel was really clean (they have daily cleaning services, which is a great perk!). The beds were comfortable. The staff were friendly. I also really appreciated the free laundry facilities. The location was good—the 17 bus was right around the corner and takes you to the heart of Florence. I really enjoyed my stay.

As the first time in a hostel, I believe I had a great experience. I was in a all female room and it was quiet and clean. Even though is close to the station, it's still quiet inside the room.

Awesome city, awesome place, awesome people. The hostel is well located, right next to the Florence train station, and a short walk away from the city center. Great social vibes, ideal for solo travelling, meeting new people and experiencing the city. Helpful and welcoming staff as soon as you step inside.

Location is so great, above the local market with the view of basilica. Walking 5 mins to Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. There is small kitchen and outdoor terrace where you can sit and eat or working with the view of Florence roof. Vending machine for drinks are available. It’s very pleasant. Staffs were friendly and helpful - guided and helped me carrying the luggage. Bed was comfy and clean but the pillow was thin that I had to ask for more and they brought to me. Storage area for keeping luggage is fine with some small lockers - bring your own key.

Staff went out of their way to help, allowed me to store luggage before room was ready, offered me drinks while I completed the checking in/out process. Room was clean and there were basic foodstuffs in the kitchen if making your own food, plus materials for breakfast.

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.
