Steelzan United States of America

Hostel Santa Monica was the perfect stay in Florence as a solo traveler interested in getting to know local Florence life. I stayed in the mixed 10 bed dorm, but I felt safe, the shared shower was cleanly, and the people around me were friendly. The staff was very helpful, and the common rooms were simple, yet comfortable. I cannot speak highly enough about this hostels location. If you are interested in more of a local scene and experience of Florence, this hostel is for you!!!!! It is minutes away from Santo Spirito Square, which is filled with very cool bars and people. I had an easy time making friends there by just hanging out with local people. For the price, this hostel is fantastic and in close proximity to various gems in Florence.

Loretta United States of America

Very charming staff! Great location and good price (double bedroom). Thank you so much and wishing you all the best!

Marlen Switzerland

There was a bathroom only for women with many toilets and showers. Sockets by the beds, AC. Friendly staff. Big kitchen and dining area.

Olivia Finland

I can listen to opera performances for free every evening from the opera next door. Despite the large number of people in the dorm, it's still clean and quite at 10-11pm. WC and shower rooms are available in every corners and are clean. The location is great. You can get to the centre and train station in 15 mins.
