Asking for additional funds to have air-conditioning. (20euro/day). When it was raining. Water came through the ventilation system in the bathroom. The bathroom stank when the ventilation was turned on.

Private room with bathroom very spacious. Nice host. No problems with check-in or out. Location close to the train station.

The WiFi on the second floor (where our room was) did not have a good connection. I had to sit in the 1st floor common area to have meetings and calls, which at that time, construction was happening right behind the hostel.

The location is within walking distance from Florence central station so it is very strategic. The cleanliness of the room and private bathroom met our expectations. The host, Vincenzo, was really nice to us even though we checked in at a pretty late hour. He also allowed us to store our bags after we checked out without asking for more money, Overall, compared to other properties in Florence that are really pricy, this hostel offered a pleasant stay without making your wallet cry.

The only thing I would like to tell other travellers is that it costs an extra €20 per night for AC and an extra €6 to use the washing machine

The staff were so lovely at this hostel, it was quite clean, the beds were very comfy and the facilities were great! It is around a 10min walk to the train station and it is very easy to walk into the main town :)

There wasn't a bathroom floormat. Also with how the showerhead was placed, it was easy that the bathroom could overflow. The hostel warned for it, but still. The bed was a little sagged.

The check-in and check-out went smooth. Vincenzo is friendly. The hostel and the room is decorated, tidy and clean. Every day the rooms got cleaned and you can request if not neccessary. There was nice big towels and 2 sachets of shampoo. Locationwise the centre and the trainstation is around 10 minutes walking. The area is quiet. We liked our stay.

A bit pricey if you consider is a hostel so you don’t get towels or breakfast or a kitchen to use. At night, old men would gather to drink and talk loudly. A bit creepy if you ask me. Also we were woken up one day by two people arguing loudly about working conditions (since reception is outdoors you could hear everything) Not precisely what you expect of a “young” hostel.

Very clean room, well located (10min walk from Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station). The owner and his wife are easy going, friendly and helpful. The place is old but charming and the rooms were not bad at all.

On my second night a couple checked into the room beside me. They were fighting, shouting and running up and down for hours. Then the man tmgot himself locked in the room and after banging the door for about 30 minutes I went out, seen and opened his door for him. He then came back at 1.30 am threatening me as he "could not find the woman who locked him in". I had to say I was going to call the police to get him to leave me alone (this was the second time he came to my room). Did not feel like a safe environment for a solo traveller!!

Staff were helpful, close to train station and is what I'd expect for a budget accommodation.

Very family-ish feeling during our stay. Loved it.

The air conditioning is automatic and cannot be turned on or off by you. So the AC run all night on a hot temperature. Not to mention the loud fan like noises it makes.

You could store luggage after check out

Cold and dirty room, very small bathroom. In an area that didn't feel very safe.

Near to the train station and friendly staff.

Bed, no internet in the room

Ok

Stayed in May 2023

The room and bathroom a bit run down and needs updating. The check in process seemed a bit causal, perhaps bringing it inside would make it seem more professional. Also an addition of safes in the room would be great.

The bed was very comfortable. Nice windows and great black out shutters.

We only stayed for one night but I have to say that the hosts were great, very helpful and really assisted us with all we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Room was clean and the bunk beds comfortable. We felt it was great value for money

AC wasn't working. A bit noisy at night but not bad. Expensive for what you get

Nice and close to the train. Close enough to everything in the main tourist areas that you can walk to anywhere. Beds very comfortable. Staff were very nice

For summer, we have to pay 2euro in addition for 1 hour for the air conditioner. We have traveled alot and had many experience with booking. This havent happen with us before so it was a little bit unconvenient for us.

The staffs are nice.

Stayed in August 2022

The host is mining cryptocurrency in the reception with a very noisy server active 24h, and you can hear the noise from the room. The area is full of mosquitos and there are no mosquito nets on the window so no possibility to open it. No A/C is there, so in summer the room becomes literally an oven. Far from the city center

10 mins walking distance to the main train station

Good location: close to train station and easy walk to the cathedral etc, nice terrace area that we could sit at and friendly hosts.

THIS PLACE IS OVERPRICE. NOT THE SAME AS ADVERTISED IN BOOKING COM WEBSITE. We paid €160 for the old, ugly and dirty bedroom and bathroom. The room is not ventilated. The color of the light is somewhat orange or yellow which made the room a bit dark. NO AIRCON. ONLY 1 DESK FAN IS PROVIDED TO THINK THAT WE ARE 4 PERSONS AND THE BED IS DOUBLE DECK SO SOME OF US ARE NOT REACHED BY THE AIR FROM ELECTRIC FAN. No shampoo and body soap provided. The tissue paper seems old and smells like from century ago! The bathroom sink is a bit clogged. We do not feel safe to this place because our room is outside the building and our big window with grills is facing the road. Hence, someone from the outside can peek and see the inside of your room any moment. Even though the room is very hot since there is no aircon and we only have 1 small fan, we still closed the window for our safety. The door of our room is very old too! You will not feel safe in this place. There are no commercial establishments nearby where you can buy your necessities like personal use and food. However, the Santa Maria Novella train station is around 600 meters away. NO 24-HR RECEPTION. WE CHECKED-OUT AT AROUND 6:30 AM BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TOLERATE THIS UGLY PLACE AND WE NEED TO CATCH THE TRAIN GOING TO VENICE AT 7:00 AM. THE STAFF IS SLEEPING SO WE LEFT THE KEY IN THE MAILBOX WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. NOT WORTH OF YOUR MONEY.

That we couldn't stay longer.

Great location, we had a train to catch early for Venice, so was great to stay there. Big room, comfortable beds, Vincenzo was really kind, wait for us to arrive late, helped with everything, towels, soap, everything was 10. Good lightning, with smaller lights and plugs for everyone to charge phones.

Stayed in April 2022

It was bit chilled in the room at the night, we needed to put on sweater on top of pajamas and of course blanket

A couple was very friendly and service-minded. Location is great,it's very close to main train station in Florence. Room was very clean and spacious
