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.
I really enjoyed my stay at your hostel, especially the free dinner once and the Art night added a nice touch to it!
Hostel is a short walk from the train station and there is good restaurants around. Room was super clean and had a good amount of room. Bathroom was good.
There were so many events going on from casual, socializing, to partying so the mix was absolutely amazing. Definitely the most social hostel I have ever stayed at as well. Couldn’t beat the environment!
I just loved my room and the hostel, in general.
Had a lovely time here. The staff was friendly and I made a lot of friends
The hostel is perfect. Very clean. Many activities. Generous with the pasta and the free food/drinks during the activities.
The hostel was amazing . It was very clean . The room has AC. The social events are top notch
I stayed here for a night, really good time I had. Very social the hostel and the rooms are pretty good. I would say your getting your value for money.
Was a great one night stay! Great location and amazing staff! It was definitely worth the book and I enjoyed me stay so much I have booked with other yellowsqaures on this trip as it was that good!
The room was very clean, and the staff are very accommodating to the residents. Loved that the bar was owned by them and literally just across the street. The community spaces were amazing, and the kitchen was a great size for cooking while socialising. If you come definitely bring a padlock for the little locker for your stuff, but other than that i think your experience will be amazing☺️
The staff received me well, place had all amenities you could think of. The rooftop was nice and they even give you a welcome drink when you check in.
Staff was nice and helpful.
At the Roof Tab Bar, there was a curly-haired girl wearing glasses who was running the games. Her attitude was completely inappropriate. While I was talking to another guest, she told me to get up and said, “This place is reserved.” The person I was talking to was also a guest there. She should learn that it is not acceptable to treat people this way.
Also, despite being entitled to a discount, a man wearing glasses and a goatee sold me a drink at the full price without applying my discount. Later, another girl serving me pointed out that I had a discount and gave me the beer at the discounted price.
I also believe the same man either does not know which glass an Aperol should be served in, or he needs some additional training.
Overall, I found the attitude of some of the staff to be quite unprofessional and unpleasant. However, I would like to point out that the other staff members I interacted with, especially Augusto, the short-haired girl, and the blonde guy who saw me off, were very friendly, helpful, and pleasant.
After all these negative experiences, even though I had originally reserved and paid for four days, I decided to leave one day earlier. This was not a decision I made lightly, but the overall experience made me feel that I would rather leave than stay for the full four days.
It was an incredible stay at the hostel. Everything was so clean, the staff was nice and the event plus the rooftop pool were excellent.
Had a great stay at Yellow Square in Athens! The location is absolutely perfect, right in the city center and within easy walking distance of all the main spots and attractions. The rooms were great, clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay.
The highlight has to be the amazing rooftop bar, with incredible views of the Acropolis—especially beautiful in the evening. 🍹🏛️
Overall, a fantastic hostel with a great atmosphere, excellent location, and wonderful staff. Highly recommended if you’re staying in Athens!
I loved this hostel. Its super clean, has a lot of social activities, great rooftop with a view on Acropolis. I can’t recommend it enough
Just not what expected. The bed sheets were dirty – looked like chocolate. I put in the dorms just above the nightclub and so was awake into the early morning hearing the music. Also, the location isn’t great compared to other cheaper options – with a minimum of 20/25 minute walk to see any sights. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience but not worth the 1 night I stayed. Having a pool did make up for it.
It’s a big hostel in a big city… so if you’re looking for a place in the midst of the hustle, with and surrounded by nightlife, and also walkable to major tourist sites, this is the place.
Really comfortable setting. Safe and reliable people at the front desk!
The hostel is very creative, clean and well organized.
The rooftop offer a breath taking view.
My stay at yellow square was amazing, the 4 people room was cozy and the curtains provided enough privacy. Having the bathroom and shower in the room was a big plus. What I loved the most was the rooftop with an amazing view of the acropolis and stunning sunset. It is also a perfect hostel to do remote work. It was also very close to main attractions and cool neighborhoods. Staff very kind and helpful. The only downsides are that the area did not feel 100% safe for a solo female traveler and the hostel can be noisy especially on the weekends.
YellowSquare Florence exceeded all my expectations! The hostel has fantastic facilities, including an awesome rooftop pool with a great vibe. Everything was super clean, and the room and bedsheets were very comfortable.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—I had an issue with my reservation, but the manager on duty was so welcoming, kept me updated, and sorted it out smoothly.
They also offer tons of entertainment, like karaoke night and theme parties, making it really easy to meet people. An absolutely amazing experience, highly recommended!
The rooms were comfortable and lots of privacy, the staff were very friendly and the chef made some excellent food
I loved this hostel, the rooms are very nice and clean, with alot of space for your items. A big bonus are curtains on the beds. The thing I liked the most is the numerous opportunities to meet people and have fun. The hostel has at least one fun activity a day. I 10/10 recommend.
I enjoyed the stay in the YellowSquare hostel in Florence. The building looks refurbished and all new, the rooms have AC which is perfect during the hot months of summer in Italy. I had a room with four beds, the room was clean, I had a locker to put my suitcase and backpack in there. Also the bathroom was well equipped (body wash, shampoo, hair dryer). The activities that are planned along the week allow you to make new connections with people which is very nice. I loved the rooftop pool with a view of Florence.
Staff amazing, clean room everyday, thank you so much for this incredible experience
The stay at the hostel was a good experie. The room was clean and well organized. The staff were very professional and friendly. The hostel hosted many activities for guests.
The hostel itself is very clean, big, and well taken care of. The bar serves the best drinks, and the events keep it a very lively and social atmosphere. It is a perfect spot if you are doing a solo trip!
Nice stay, good bed, clean enough rooms, kind staff except for one mean remark at the bar.
It was one of the nicest hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms and kitchen are very clean. Location is great, it’s right next to the metro. The quiz night was super fun, and it’s a highly social hostel. Highly recommended!
best memory were made, only toilet was kinda broken. people were really nice, food amazing.
Excellent quality room (women’s only, 4 beds) and bathroom, both were clean. Great storage facilities, with both a personal security locker and a safe. The hostel was welcoming and well-located, near the Porta Romana metro stop, meaning it was easy and quick to destinations like the Duomo or Milano Centrale station for day trips. The staff maintained a good atmosphere and organised fun, free activities like the games night.
It was also possible to rent towels for €1,50. The room was good value.
This is my first solo trip to Europe. The staff at YellowSquare Florence are some of the kindest and most interesting people I’ve ever met in my life! I shared a room with four other girls & the facilities are extremely clean & comfortable! They have regular cleaning services come through. The location of the hostel is a short 20 minute walk to the city center.
the bar is the best, the people are sooo cool
i really liked, it was an incredible experience
I had an incredible time meeting other travelers as well as staff. The rooms and bathrooms were always so clean. The lobby cafe was incredible and such a great space. The rooftop bar was my favorite part and I would definitely return to this hostel! I made many special memories at this place and I am grateful to all the stuff for their kindness and hospitality.
Met great people at the pool that I spend the rest of my time with
I had such a good time at this hostel. All the people were nice, the free pasta is great and the rooms are soo good! I love how cozy barmezzo and the outside terrace are. The activities were also really fun and the rooftop pool is perfect during hot days. Everybody was so social and I will definitely be coming back to this hostel at some point!
Nicest hostel I have ever stayed at. Clean, genuinely super comfy and pleasant rooms. We stayed in a four person room and there was so much privacy despite it and we slept like angels. Amazing views from the rooftop bar and the gym room was a major plus. Would stay there again if I were in Athens – would prefer it to a hotel or private airbnb tbh. The kitchen is the only minor problem but it is the guest’s fault rather than a YellowSquare issue. People are animals the second they think someone else is coming to clean up after them. Relatively well-stocked and spacious though.
Please add anti mosquito nets other than that stay was amasing.
