  • 5/5 Michael N. 5 years ago on Google • 68 reviews
    This was a great hostel. The rooms were air conditioned with well built beds and spacious lockers. The shower was high pressure, hot, and towels plus body wash were included. To top it off there was a near constant supply of free food, and unlimited free coffee, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. In terms of location it's a pleasant 15 minute walk from the center. Would definitely stay again

    I think that this hostel is a hidden gem in Florence. Check-in staff were really nice/friendly/helpful. There was one person in the morning at the desk though who seemed like she didn't like being asked questions. And they aren't informative about where to buy bus tickets. It's like they don't know where to buy them either. *Shrug* just buy your tickets in advance at the station or at a store. Location is okay, meaning, it is easy to find but you have to walk a bit far. There is a bus stop right at the street but if you don't have tickets... Place is secure and has lots of food and coffee (i love this) and a good common area to hang out in and meet people. Adequate space in the rooms and showers and toilets. Large lockers. They clean the room, change sheets and towels daily. Even have free lotion. There is laundry service which I wasn't able to use. 4 euros each for washing and drying. Overall, great experience. Would surely book this place again.

    Lovely hostel, comfortable and clean. Friendly staff always ready to help. You get delicious breakfast, simple lunch and dinner. Cafeteria with tea and coffee opened 24h. Our room had air conditioning and shower. Spacious lockers, sockets and lamp at every bed, and you get a towel. Best hostel I've ever lived

  • 5/5 Mustapha El H. 5 years ago on Google • 125 reviews
    One of the absolute best hostels I've stayed in so far in Europe. I was in a 4-bed ensuite room, room was very clean, included bed sheets (already installed) and a towel. Bathroom was also very clean. Price included a very good breakfast, snacks all day long and a dinner buffet (simple, but free). Would totally recommend.

  • 5/5 Vikrant K. 4 years ago on Google • 96 reviews
    Amazing experience. Although I had a short stay at this cosy little place but this was enough to leave a lasting impact. So much so that whenever I come here or anyone known asks me about Florence, I’ll tell them to go to only this hostel and nowhere else. Very gracious and courteous owner Sonia. Great service. Breakfast spread is wonderful and dinner spread too. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Guilherme C. 6 years ago on Google • 44 reviews
    I've stayed in the 6 Bed Mixed Dorm and it was great! Each bed has a light, a power supply and an USB port. The locker is big enough for a big backpack. The room has an air conditioning, so u can setup its temperature, and also has a balcony! Free breakfast, dinner, towels, shampoo, soap, city's map! The whole hostel is VERY clean! The location is good, takes u about 15-20 minutes walking to reach the historical center. Highly recommend this hostel!

  • 5/5 Mackenzie L. 5 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    There is absolutely nothing bad I could say about this place. The staff is amazing and kind and willing to help you with anything you need. The spaces are very clean and they even make your bed everyday and provide you with towels. The bathrooms are very clean and big enough for everyone who needs access. The showers are hot and the water pressure is amazing. They also serve breakfast and dinner which is pretty good when you don’t want to eat out but there is also kitchen space to cook for yourself! This place is amazing and if I ever come back to Florence I will be coming here.

  • 5/5 Kenny 7 years ago on Google • 9 reviews
    The hostel is amazing. Location is a tad far from the train station but Florence is easily navigable either way. Rooms are quite spacious and comfortable. Food is available 24/7, as is the check in. This is amazing, especially since one can get dinner here as well. Service staff were friendly and helpful.

    (Translated by Google) This strange thing happened that when you have such a good time You forget to take photos to recommend it. At least I have some! It is the best hostel you can go to: The girl at the reception is a total idola, super friendly and clear There are yoga classes every day around the hostel on a terrace, it does life super good but especially after walking. At one point we all chatted so much that we ended up being a lot in the class there were like 12! Beautiful! Do yoga The dresser was great and there was almost all day! A super complete and varied breakfast and dinner The rooms apart from comfortable and with good air conditioning that can be regulated in each room, apart they are beautiful The bathroom was super clean, always with soap paper and towels They even have shampoo / soap and there is cream in the room They give you a towel 💕👏🏻 This hostel is worth it! There was very good vibes and Florence is small ergo it is well located Super recommended !!!! Thank you !!!! 🤗🤗🤗 (Original) Sucedió esta cosa tan extraña que cuando la pasas tan bien Te olvidas de sacar fotos para recomendarlo. Al menos tengo algunas! Es el mejor hostel que pueden ir: La piba de recepción es una idola total, súper amable y clara Hay clases de yoga todos los días a la vuelta del hostel en una terraza, hace súper bien a la vida pero sobre todo después de caminar. En un momento charlamos todos tanto que terminamos siendo un montón en la clase éramos como 12! Hermoso! Hagan yoga La cómoda estaba buenísima y había casi todo el día! Un desayuno y cena súper completos y variados Las habitaciones aparte de cómodas y con buen aire acondicionado que pueden regular en cada habitación, aparte son lindas El baño estaba súper limpio, siempre con papel jabón y toallas Hasta tienen shampoo /jabón y hay crema en la habitación Te dan toallon 💕👏🏻 Este hostel lo vale! Hubo muy buena onda y Florencia es pequeña ergo esta bien ubicado Súper recomendable !!!! Gracias !!!! 🤗🤗🤗

    (Translated by Google) I chose it right in front of the bus stop, but I was not satisfied. You don't use the whole building, so you have to go to someone's house. The staff were friendly and the food was not bad, but it would be nice to find a hostel near the center. (Original) 버스정류장 바로 앞에 있어서 선택했지만, 만족스럽지는 못함. 건물 전체를 쓰는 것이 아니기 때문에 누군가의 집을 찾아가듯이 찾아들어가야함. 직원은 친절하고 음식도 나쁘지 않았지만, 그냥 조금더 중심지 근처에 숙소를 구하는 것이 좋을것 같음.

    (Translated by Google) Both breakfast afternoon snack dinner at the hostel makes available free of charge. It can really save on food expenses. (Original) 숙소에서 아침 오후간식 저녁을 모두 무료로 제공해준다. 식비를 굉장히 절약할 수 있다.

    I wasn’t feeling well so I didn’t stay, but their rooms are tidy and clean(and a balcony!) and the pixie haired girl at the reception was very helpful and friendly(and speaks English well). Would stay here next time.

  • 4/5 Nycholas17 4 years ago on Google
    Sonia and Lisa in particular were super helpful. Good facilities and free morsels all day were a very welcome touch if you're taking a beating on restaurant service charges, museum tickets or long lines. I'd come back!

  • 5/5 Alexandre P. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best Hostels I have ever been. You can eat anything in kitchen and drink coffee or juices 24/7. Very fair price. Clean. They give you anything you need. Towel, shampoo. And everything for 20€ per night. Its amazing. 11/10 my rate. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 4 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my stay there. Everything was clean and the breakfast was very good. Also the fact that snacks and dinner were included in the price was really awesome. The beds were fine as well even if the top of the bunk beds were a little shaky.

  • 5/5 Ana R. 4 years ago on Google
    A very good hostel. What I liked the most is that they provide towels, I stayed 3 nights and they even changed it. Besides the breakfast, you can have also the dinner here (they usually provide 2-3 kind of meals). It's not far from Duomo - around 15 mins.

  • 5/5 ELFATIH A. 4 years ago on Google
    I am very excited about my stay in this place ☺️✌️

  • 4/5 Jaime 5 years ago on Google
    Good hostel this is great if you are on a budget as you get free breakfast AND dinner. The coffee machine is great with some of the best hot chocolate in the business. This place is kept clean and your bed is made everyday. There are lockers in the room for extra security which is a plus in any hostel. I would be happy staying here again when visiting Florence.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent Hostel to stay in Florence. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean. All the facilities are in good condition. Breakfast is very good and brunch and dinner are also very good. The attention in reception is excellent and the rooms are spacious. I have had a very pleasant stay here. The Hostel is very close to Piazza San Marco on foot and also to the Academy and the Ufizzi Gallery. Also at reception they help you book a tour of Tuscany or Cinque Terre.

    (Translated by Google) Best hostel of my life, when I return to Firenze I will stay there for sure. Clean, wonderful food, great service, laundry, beautiful decor, fair price, I only have good memories of the place. It is not very close to the main tourist spots but in 10 minutes you reach the tourist area and have a bus stop nearby, in case you don't want to walk. (Original) Melhor hostel da minha vida, quando voltar para Firenze ficarei lá com certeza. Limpo, comida maravilhosa, ótimo atendimento, lavanderia, decoração bonita, preço justo , só tenho boas lembranças do local. Não fica muito perto dos principais pontos turísticos mas em 10 minutos você chega na área turística e tem ponto de ônibus perto, caso não queira andar.

  • 5/5 Fahad N. 4 years ago on Google
    What to say about this place, I have a lot of memories with this hostel because mostly people live here for a day or two but I've spend more than a month here make a lot of long term relationships, big hesrt friends from all around the world one of the best hostel is florence who gives breakfast lunch and dinner.. Staff is so much cooperative specially Sonia, If you visit florence don't miss to book this hostel because It is the best one I found, I've almost visited all the hostels but found this one best.. Highly recommended. CHEERS.

  • 5/5 Matsuri J. 4 years ago on Google
    The hostel is within walking distance from the Duomo, though the neighbourhood can be rather quiet at night. There's nothing much to dislike about the hostel, considering you get free breakfast and dinner every day. Granted, I stayed about 8 days, so kind of grew tired of the food after the first three days. But for those who are looking to travel on a shoestring, this is the best hostel you can find in Florence! In fact, it's the best out of the three I've stayed in Italy (I was in Naples and Rome prior to Florence).

  • 5/5 María Laura S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent attention, reasonable prices, they serve breakfast and I think there is a brunch at night, you can drink coffee from a Machina all day. Clean rooms, impeccable bathrooms, ten minutes from the dome and 5 from David (Original) Excelente atención, precios razonables, sirven desayuno y creo que hay un brunch a la noche, se puede tomar café de una Machina todo el día.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent accommodation I would put more stars if there were. PR ten points (Original) Excelente alojamiento. Pondría más estrellas si lo hubiera. RRPP diez puntos

  • 2/5 João Teixeira S. 4 years ago on Google
    This hostel is no more than six rooms each with six heaped beds with no room left over. The hostel is in the first floor of an old building. There are no common spaces except a small and old kitchen. The pictures in the website don’t match reality. In fact most of them refer to the building entrance which does not belong to the hostel. They offer food but nothing but pasta with tomato sauce. It might be good for a group of teenagers who want to spend a night drinking in Florence, but if you want some comfort there are other, much better, cheaper hotels.

    (Translated by Google) It was very ok for the price but the rooms are very small, very sanitary so always the tail and shower not very intimate. Perfect for the small budget who want to be near the center. Everything is possible on foot and extremely rare thing of all-day food (Original) C'était très correct pour le prix mais les chambres sont très petites, très peu de sanitaires donc toujours la queue et douche pas très intimiste. Parfait pour les touts petits budget qui veulent être non loin du centre. Tout est possible à pieds et chose extremement rare de la nourriture à volonté toute la journée

  • 3/5 Vani M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The hostel is located many blocks from the train station, in the rooms it was very hot, the bathroom inside the room had a lot of smell, a little more cleaning would be good .. The breakfast is very good . The staff mmm normal. Now they would have to put lights on the entrance stairs, because at night you couldn't see anything and I had a bad impression. (Original) El hostel esta ubicado a muchas cuadras de la estacion de tren , en las habitaciones hacia muchisimo calor , el baño dentro de la habitacion tenia mucho olor , un poco mas de limpieza seria bueno .. El desayuno esta muy bien . El personal mmm normal . Ahora tendrian que poner luces en las escaleras de ingreso , porque de noche no se veia nada y tenia mala impresion .

    Easily my favorite Hostel I've stayed at during the trip I took (in March 2017), and since then. It's a bit of a walk to get to the center of town but it is so worth it for the helpful staff and good clean conditions to stay in. I was in the female rooms section and it was wonderful, we had our own shared kitchenette with the other rooms and plenty of showers and space to get ready in the morning (including lots of sinks and mirrors!) The co-ed space was also available to us to lounge in and talk to other people who stayed. The breakfast was good and the space was very lively. It was a very pleasant stay, it made me wish I was staying longer!

  • 4/5 Lisa 4 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    This hostel is a really nice place. The rooms are small and simple but very clean and friendly. They have an extra corridor for the female dorms which is only accessible with a door code (except for room seven which is on the general corridor) . So if you like to have a real safe space, this is your place. The best thing about this place is the free food that is included all day. They have a little breakfast buffet in the morning, snacks (like sandwiches) for lunch and mostly pasta and salad for dinner. So you can really save some time and money there. The only thing that I think is missing is some kind of common area with couches or some terrace or something where you can just hang around and talk to people. There are some seats and tables where you can eat, but they are all for two people so you basically stay with the people you came with or with the ones from your dorm. Altogether I can really recommend this hostel.
