YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

Clean rooms and sanitary facilities. Very friendly staff. I had a medical emergency and they where super helpfull, told me what hospital to go to and called me a cap. (In the end the hospital had outsourced the department I needed, to another hospital but they couldn’t know that) On the end I had to check out 2 nights earlier bc. of said emergency and I qas promised a refund for both nights. Nice and coazy communal areas. Just the comunal kitchen and some rooms are in the subterrain and therefore laking a bit of natural light even though they all have windows.
Overall a very nice hostal. Perfect for solo travelers.

Staff were lovely and very helpful, room was great for 4 of us for a few nights, location great, and a lovely atmosphere in communal parts. We’re a family of 4 with 2 teens and although we didn’t see anyone else our age we were made to feel very welcome and never out of place, thanks for having us.

Overall I enjoyed my stay here the rooms were spacious and I liked the on suite especially it having a separated shower and loo. I had a balcony which was an added bonus. The pool was really nice and the staff were all really helpful and lovely.

I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The vibes were immaculate. Everything was clean and comfortable and staff were friendly.

Just a really nice atmosphere, plenty to do in the hostel itself with events organised by staff who are so nice. City centre is about 30 mins by bus or walking which is honestly fine, bus stop is easily accessible and for the quality of the hostel it’s worth it. The breakfast is lovely and free pasta in evening even better. Also the rooftop pool is class

Great staff, rooms are very clean ! It was my second time here and I’ll gladly come back a third

It is a little expensive, but that’s normal for Florence. The hostel is so friendly, accommodating of all languages, and it’s a great place for a first time hostel stay. There are lots of activities in the hostel if you want to meet people, but it’s also very peaceful in the rooms if you want to chill out on your own. I had a nap in the garden on my own too! I would really recommend if you want something easy for your trip. Also, if you are an anxious traveller or are worried about cleanliness, this place is cleaner than most hotels, and there are lots of bathrooms that aren’t in your rooms if you are worried about the queue for the toilet

I was surprised by the amount of space and the facilities, especially in the 6-bed female dorm. It was one of the most comfortable hostel stays I’ve had, and I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a hostel. The atmosphere was social, the free pasta was a great bonus, and although it’s a little outside the city centre, it’s easy to get there by tram or a 15-minute walk.

Amazing hostel with great facilities and activities. Super-friendly staff.

Will go back to that place again when I travel in Europe in near future.

I had low expectaions for hostels in general. But you have raised them. Private bathroom, staff thats helpful social area activities everything was just right. Never have I though ehmm this is missing. Hell you even give shampoo for free. That brings me to food. Having cooked pasta with sauce every evening and in the kitchen other atiff really saved me. I will definetely comeback. Only the water qas problem. Why wasnt it cold? But I mean it wasnt cold anywhere in Florence

The staff were super friendly and helpful. Facilities were excellent and dorm clean and very comfortable. The food served here was delicious also.

Friendly staff, very big building, lots of events:)

Clean and comfortable room, good breakfast options. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean

I really enjoyed my stay at yellowsquare Florence. The staff were very friendly and helpful! Plenty of activities to do during the stay. Clean hostel with air conditioning, no curtains on bed but can ask for one to put. The rooftop pool is a great bonus. The only this I’d say is that it’s a little far from city center (about 30 minute walk) and the transportation around isn’t the best. I’d definitely stay here again.

Everything was amazing. I felt very comfortable in that place. The facilities were very clean and well organized, the staff was always very kind, and the food was really good.

everything was beyond expectations

Loved staying here! Staff were all kind, rooms were very clean, and the location just outside the city center was great. The pool was perfect given the heat and we loved the pasta dinner.

Absolutely loved the curtains for each bunk, the air conditioning in the heatwave was a life saver, and the pool was the most amazing touch! We will definitely be back to stay here, the nightly free pasta and the free activities to meet other travellers were so so useful and we had such an amazing time here!

I was pleasantly surprised by the happy, bustling vibe that the hostel offered. I met some amazing people from the hostel and they had tons of fun activities for everyone to participate in! The room was comfortable and I had my own locker and privacy curtains.

Thank you for such an enjoyable stay! Me and my cousin stayed in a 4 bed dorm and had such a good time. I want to come back to Florence and will definitely book here again

Helpful staff – lovely pool – free pasta – a free drink – cheap breakfast options – perfect rooms – great atmosphere

This hostel makes an incredibly welcoming environment will lots of social activities all throughout the week to bring people together. The staff was great, the rooms were clean, and the pool made it completely worth it to be a little further from the City center.

I was surprised by how spacious, clean the room and all the facilities were (in contrast to the hostels I have stayed at). Ample storage. Good soundproof room and black-out curtain. My roommates were friendly and respectful. Love the designs and layout (inside and outside). I would stay with YellowSquare again. Grazie mille!!

Clearly I booked in a wrong place because of my age. 50 years old. The oldest guest had 30 years old as much. Atmosphere of College university. I read late that the maximum age is 45 years old .

Felt super safe here, nice staff, my bed was comfortable, and everything was nice and clean. The beds were made out of metal so if you’re moving it your bed it made a lot of noise which was kind of akward in the morning when you’re trying to not wake anyone else. But would definitely recommend, met the nicest people as well!!

I spent 4 nights at the hostel and all was great ! The room was clean with all the necessary to sleep well (In the dormitories there are curtains , lights, lockers…)

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed at!

the hostel was really clean, the staff and other guests were super nice! me and my friends booked a room together but sadly weren’t able to have beds all in the same room, which was really disappointing. they gave us free towels and locks tho! in the end it was fine. another thing that happened was, that apparently some staff member left the windows in my room open and locked them so we couldn’t close them ourselves. everything was fine until abt 20 mosquitoes came into our room over night. i couldn’t sleep at all and i went to the front desk many times to ask for a solution or something. sadly, he couldn’t close the windows due to it being a women only room and it being like 4am, which i definitely respect, but they sadly weren’t able to help in any other way. so, if you stay at this hostel, BRING MOSQUITO SPRAY!
it was an unfortunate situation and the staff tried their best which i appreciate! the pool was amazing!

I had a pleasant stay at YellowSquare Florence. The atmosphere was lively, friendly, and perfect for meeting other travelers. The property was clean, well maintained, and conveniently located.

A special thank you to Linda at reception, who was extremely kind and helped me with my luggage as I have a back issue. Her support was greatly appreciated. I would also like to mention the housekeeping staff member who cleaned my room (unfortunately I do not know their name). They were very professional and did an excellent job throughout my stay.

There are a couple of areas that could be improved. The entrance is not very luggage-friendly, as there are only stairs and no easy access for guests with heavy bags or mobility issues. Additionally, when it started raining, there was no option to rent or borrow an umbrella, which would have been very helpful for travelers.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend the hostel.

Very clean, it’s near to the station, the people of the hostel espectacular, talk different languages, and the free pasta love it.

That just was amazing, the PeopleSoft skill are just amazing.

I had a really good time, my room was very clean and even had a great terrace. I really enjoyed the the pool and thought that the location was ideal. The staff were super friendly and helpful and planned such great activities. It was very easy to make friends and I felt super safe as a young female solo traveler.

Amazing hostel with a great vibe! Super friendly staff, clean rooms, fun events, and perfect for solo travelers. Met amazing people from around the world. One of the best stays in Florence — highly recommended!

All the yellow square hostels are nice, but Florence really stands out. The rooftop pool, the large terrace, the club in the basement and all the activities organized by the interns. The amazing was really great

I like how social the hostel is. beds are comfortable, all amenities are thete

The hostel is great, very clean and with everything we needed. The activities animated each night are awesome, the staff is very kind and welcoming. And a big bonus for the free pasta !

Arrival and departure was great, staff was friendly and answered my questions. I was glad with my room, it was at a quiet, I only heard some noise on saturday. There is a great vibe in the common area. The only thing is that the bathroom had a lot of mold on the floor and on the wall.

The hostel was very clean and included a lot of amenities. Staff were very friendly.
