YellowSquare Reviews
YellowSquare is more than a hostel; it’s an international community designed for travelers who want to connect, work, and hang out. Across our locations in Italy and Greece, we provide female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms, alongside working spaces and daily activities. Definitely not a boring hostel. From working over a coffee to evening events in our venues, we create a active atmosphere where locals and travelers meet and make friends. Every YellowSquare is a gateway to the city, focused on social vibes and the right place to meet people.
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
Everything was great, from check-in to check-out and even afterward. Nice room (clean and great AC), friendly staff, and great location!
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
Beautiful place in the heart of the living city of Athens.
Rich of details it offers air conditioned rooms, comfortable mattresses and clean toilets.
The best comes with the beautiful rooftop where you can enjoy memorable sunsets.
Breakfast was cheap but tasty and filling.
The staff was the best.
The place was immaculate, the staff were so friendly & helpful throughout the entire trip.
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.
Fine hostel, many Australians and British people. No hate but they were very noisy. Slept really bad because there were no curtains in front of the bed and the window didn’t work very well so the noise from the bar went directly into the dorm room. Really nice with the pasta though
Will go back to that place again when I travel in Europe in near future.
Good vibes, good breakfast, clean room, good location.
just a note: there was some hair on bathtub walls left from previos stays. Everything else was perfect.
I stayed at this hostel because I wanted the community, but had my own private room. My room wasn’t as clean as I would have liked it to be, the shower looked like it wasn’t even cleaned with hair on the walls and gunk on the floor. It was also very hard to sleep due to the noises of the hall door, slamming, and the people partying on the roof—but it is a Hostel so that’s to be expected, I just hoped my room was quieter.
I stayed here with my motorbike which i could park directly in front of the hostel. The rooms were clean and spacious. The beds had curtains which was nice.
I had an amazing stay, everything was clean, beds are really comfortable and you also have the privacy with the curtains, charging slots and light inside.
Love this place
Amazing hostel. Clean, staff are so friendly and efficient, great rooftop bar + view. Not a single complaint! And incredible price
All of the hotel was very good and cool, I had a difficult time to take out my bracelet after my trip, sometimes the people were very loud and so the dorms were not enough isolated, we had problems with the AC and it wasnt very clear for that. Very good ambiance, very cool for the free pasta and cereals, for the game nights and all (i wish for them everyday). It was a very good place to rest.
Great location, walking distance to everything. Great value for money, friendly staff.
Clean, comfortable beds, lots to do, friendly staff, awesome roof top bar and amenities.
Maybe if they would offer some tours additionally that would be great.
if you want to party and meet new friends this hostel is for you, everyday they have a lot of different activities so you can socialize with new people.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the location is perfect, the metro is only 7 minutes away or you can walk.
Definitely i will come back 💗💗
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:)
Amazing people, and the place is beautuful, the rooms are clean and perfecto for the stay …. i would definetly book agai in my next trip
Clean and comfortable room, good breakfast options. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Being an intern with YellowSquare was beyond exceptional. Every moment was enjoyable, and every member of the staff made me feel welcomed, cared for, and valued. The offer itself (room, two meals a day, half-off drinks) was incredible compared to other experiences, and not only ensured my interest and enthusiasm in continuing, but also showed me that YellowSquare values its interns more than any other hostel where I’ve volunteered over the past two years. Further, I knew that if I needed a day off, it would be granted. If I had an idea, it would be heard. If I had a concern, it would be validated. Words cannot express how greatly I valued this experience, or how excited I am at the possibility of working with YellowSquare againn.
Best hostel experience I could ever ask for. Incredibly social and amazing night life if you go to the rooftop bar which was always busy and the free drink was a lovely treat. Rooms were clean and exactly what you need. Thank you
it was good , wish they changed floor mats daily and tidy bed daily
The bedrooms where not the same in the pictures, so small and the bathrooms small
This was my first hostel experience, was sceptical at first but after meeting my roommates and going to the bar I fell in love with this place.
If I’m ever in Rome I’m coming back here for sure.
Meeting people is so easy
It was very comfortable overall. The staff helped me a lot and easily explained everything I needed to know. The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable is that the rooms are a bit crammed. The breakfast was delicious. I also enjoyed the activities.
Stepping in, I didn’t have a great first impression because I had to make reservations online and the person in front was a little cold about it, but once I got to know the people there and understand they were doing their job then I had a great time. I made a friend there one morning and we spent the day in the city, then in the evening I went to the rooftop to get my free drink and watch the sunset. I loved making bracelets one night and I like the activities you all have.
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.
Staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and available. The 24/7 reception service is truly exceptional, as well as how attentive the staff are. Yellowsquare met every single one of our needs, from towels to umbrellas, and even threw in a free tote bag! The rooms were so spacious, well-organized, and clean and the private bathroom was wonderful. This was, by far, the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in!
I was there for 3 nights, it was clean, pretty, shower was alsou good,
Wish I was here for longer but only a quick stop off in Milan- 24hr reception was perfect and the beds were nice and private with a curtain so easy to arrive later and wake up without disturbing the other guests.
I loved every second of my stay in the hostel. I’m used to the yellow square hostels but this one, ladies and gent and whatever you call yourself, WONDERFUL !
The 4 bed female dormitory with private bathroom was super clean, the linen was already on the bed, super comfy mattress and AC working perfectly.
Breakfast was grand, as a vegan I truly appreciate the effort and they even have an option for dinner at the rooftop.
The commun areas made my stay, I’ve never been able to meet so many people and I would say it’s thanks to this. Big kitchen, chill area with sofa, nice cozy different spot at the reception and the ROOFTOP. Tell me how many hostels have a rooftop with a view on the acropolis ?!
PERFECT STAFF ! Helpful, joyful, funny, professional, good advice and recommandations. Big thanks to Agusto for doing such an amazing job managing this place and to Juniper and Dakota for making my stay so bright.
I’ll be back for sure and I recommend 100% this hostel to anyone who’s in search for good vibes only and for all my solo girlies who want to be safe.
Everything was excellent, specially the bar. Good location, good prices, good accommodations. The only thing I didn’t like were my roommates, they were loud and rude all the time and when I asked to change rooms I didn’t receive help. More than that, I’d return in the future
