    Decent, clean place for a great price and extremely close to the train station. I got a single room and it was great for a one night stay. It’s about a 10 minute walk from all the big sights and I thought the service and security were good. It’s a hostel so can get a bit loud at night so keep that in mind. Great overall for solo travelers looking for a no-fuss stay.

    Amazing hostel in Florence. Great prices, clean rooms (with AC!), friendly and helpful staff and a beautiful garden to relax in. Four minutes from the Santa Maria Novella train station and about 5 minutes from the Duomo. Will definitely be back and recommending to all my friends!

    This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff is truly incredible: they speak English, are super friendly and are really willing to go the extra mile for you. They helped me with a room and arranged special vegan breakfast for me. The room itself was also perfectly fine. Stayed in a 1person room which was great in size and very clean. Would definitely visit again when ever in Florence and would recommend to anyone.

    Mosquitos in every room, i killed about 20 myself, close the window and there’s no fresh air, leave it open and you have too much light plus more mosquitoes. Obvious as a guest they need fly screens, everyone complains about mosquitos, but perhaps management hasn't spent a night in their own hostel? Also some younger guests running up and down the hall screaming at late hours, slamming doors, not a lot management can do about that, i wish they'd try, perhaps walk a lap around the hostel every now and again at night, just to make sure it hasn't become... too feral. The halls and doors are loud and echo with the door slamming, perhaps less reflective surfaces. It's just a few key issues that the hostel fails on, but they’re crucial to a good stay. They have this multi million dollar, potentially amazing, beautiful hostel, but the experience is bad because they don't have a few cheap fly screens, they leave outdoor lights on all night and let a handful of guests run around screaming. Even with all the issues, i've stayed in much worse places and generally this place is quite reasonable. But if i can't get good sleep because of bugs and screaming then i can't give a higher rating.

    Although there are plenty of beds, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is inside the rooms, so that makes it even better. The whole building is huge and they have a nice diner and a patio. It's really well located and staff are really nice and helpful. Now, the beds were very simple and if the person above you moved, everything moved. Some curtains in the beds would make a great improvement as well. And having soap in the toilets would make it perfect.

    Perfect location, friendly and helpful staff, and clean rooms. Spacious communal areas, and beautiful garden, offering a relaxing environment. The property's central location allows easy access to major sites and amenities. It provides convenient facilities, including free luggage storage, the 24/7 reception and budget-friendly option for families. The garden and terrace offer a peaceful retreat, making the hostel a wonderful place to stay.

    Hostel has a perfect location, just 4minutes to S.M.Novella station and 5minutes to Duomo. Rooms are small, but clean, I was super surprised that there were also moscito nets on the windows. We absolutely love the terrace on the 1st floor and garden view. Would 4sure stay here again.

    Rooms are very clean, they give you clean towels and even tho we stayed 3 days, they changed the towels the second day and I was impressed! The garden is amazing, they offered you free coffee (loved you for this). The staff is so friendly, everything was amazing. The location is very good and even tho its close to the center its so quiet! Thank you for everything, I'm definitely going there again for my next visit to Florence

  • 3/5 Pedro 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    superb location and room very well served the purpose. clean and spacious. Nevertheless the post support service is the worse. 20 days to receive an invoice after multiple requests, the price I paid was X received an invoice of X-Y€. All in all I suppose one need to expect from italian businesses some shadiness. Definitely won't be staying there again

    Standard hostel with clean bathrooms and AC for the heat. Very chill courtyard/lounge area to make use of. Small fridge to use. Decorated with statues ala Florence. Lift is great. Very close to the main station. Food options nearby are very easy.

    Really nice to stay at, breakfast sortiment was a bit weak and on the less tasty side. But overall great place. Close to Central Florence.

  • 5/5 mingjie z. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best hostels I’ve ever lived. Staff are nice, place is clean and beautiful. Big dining room providing free coffee and juice machine, fresh water, microwave and fridge. Great location also, 10min from center and all important places like Uffizi. Highly recommended!

    great service and location as was 5 min walk from train station. rooms were clean and each dorm had 2 bathrooms (from our experience). only thing is from beds, service and wifi aren’t amazing as can sometimes cut out - other than that was great experience. they also have a free coffee and drink machine!

    Extremely rude and unprofessional staff. I don't know that a four star hotel would be worth the grief the front desk gave me.

  • 5/5 Paz A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing location in Florence, and the place interior is beautiful for when you need some rest after walking the whole day.

  • 5/5 Mészár Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful garden. Simple but very comfortable rooms with good services and low price. The place can offer very intimate space. Quite good accommodation in Florence.

    Amazing location. The garden looks like it is part of a fairy tale. Air conditioning was well working and nice to have in mid summer in Italy.

  • 5/5 Jianping 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place! The location is very central and the neighborhood looks safe. Staff is very friendly. The room is clean and comfortable. There is a beautiful big garden where you can read and relax.

    Fantastic location, rooms were fine, and treat price.

  • 3/5 Matteo F. 2 years ago on Google
    Hostel location is extremely good, very close to central station and the main places of interest. Value for money is good and I wasn't expecting to go in more than a hostel, but in the room there were many small bugs on the floor and especially a special piece of furniture on the bathroom's ceiling - please see picture - that clearly states the cleaning routine needs to be revised.

  • 5/5 Karolina M. 4 years ago on Google
    10/10 Where to even begin. Firstly, the staff was very kind and helpful. The location of the hostel is also perfect, just 10 minutes away from the centre and few minutes from the train station. The hostel looks amazing and it's really neat and clean. Also you can hang out on the garden or on the terrace, where you have your peace. They also have a lot of breakfast choices. I recommend this hostel highly.

    Charming hostel with beautiful painted walls and an inner courtyard I want to spend my afternoon in.

  • 5/5 Olivia L. 4 years ago on Google
    Solo traveler, felt safe. Rooms were clean but if you are a light sleeper I would recommend staying in a room with no more than 6 people. The staff was friendly and helpful. I liked that they offered a complimentary breakfast with good options. The location was good, Uffizi is about a ten minute walk away.

  • 5/5 Jen D. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff were so friendly and accommodating, room was clean and location is perfect! They let us store our bags on our final day so that we could explore the city and have a comfy couch in the lobby to chill on and charge things. So many great memories here and highly recommend!

    I really liked this hotel, the employees were very nice and friendly, the breakfast was very good and the room was perfect.

  • 4/5 李婉瑄 4 years ago on Google
    The staff at the reception desk is really nice!!! The hostel is full of history and beautiful. In addition, the breakfast was so tasty and has so many choices. Include, scramble eggs, cake, salad.... The room is clean and has own shower room and toilet inside the room but it's a little bit small. The location is perfect as well. 5 minutes walk you can reach the train station

    Please do yourself a favor and stay at Archi Rossi hostel. Our stay here was incredible. Not only were the rooms very clean (they’re cleaned every day), but the staff was beyond helpful and friendly. The breakfast is simple but filling, and on a few days when we had to leave the hostel earlier than breakfast officially started, they made breakfast for us early! The 24 hour front desk is fantastic for security and convenience reasons. The outdoor terrace is very pleasant. There is free potable cold water in the breakfast hall at all times for you to fill up your water bottle. The hostel is literally a 3 minute walk from the train station, and it’s in a great neighborhood. Only 2 minutes from Mercato Centrale, where we ate multiple times. Especially given the reasonable price we paid, the value at this hostel could not have been better. We loved it!
