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.
It’s perfect for young people, everyday events are great, employees are friendly. Only thing I’d change, in some way washing machine is too expensive and big (I’d like to wash things every 2-3 days, and it would be almost empty…), so it would be better to add some solution. Another point to improve is beep sound of safe, maybe it can be disabled? And dishes in the kitchen in some way dirty, but that more question to people who stay in hostel.
Anyway experience is great I’d recommend to all this place!
This is an honest review of my experience with Yellow Square Florence hostel. The hostel is very well organized and the staff is really sweet and helpful. The F&B is affordable and the venue has various amenities and community building activities. The only disadvantage is that it is located near the airport so you need to travel a good 40 mins to reach the center and explore.
Really nice hostel, both parents (52 years) and kids 18 (years) loved this place. Nice activites. Great restaurant and also the rooms where to eat your own food. Roof top pool with a great view.
We arrived with car and really appreciated the parking garage.
Good place to stay. Downstairs bar and common area is very nice and provides good atmosphere to meet people and make friends. Rooms are spacious but bathrooms are a bit cramped and could be cleaner. Roms have secure lockers to store belongings. Staff are very friendly.
I recently stayed at Yellowsquare Rome and had an incredible time! This was my first time staying at a hostel and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was easy to make friends. Being next to the train station made getting around to my other destinations a breeze. Staff was super welcoming and information. Omar in particular was great! He helped me book my train ticket for the next leg of my trip and made sure everyone was doing okay coming back in late at night. Overall a lovely experience!!
Facilities A1, Community A1 – can’t ask for more. Activities every night, free food, reasonably priced bar – the staff set the tone to this place.
YES
I liked it
Yellow square in Florence was very welcoming. It was a great relaxed and friendly environment for solo travels and being able to talk to new people. I loved the activities they had set up every day and night, e.g run club, drinking games, getting to know people activities. The hostel itself was clean and organized. Would definitely recommend!
Immediately, staff was kind. They seem to enjoy each other and have fun, and you can feel it.
The common spaces are inviting, fun, and social. A space that feels dedicated to meeting new cool people.
Rooms are clean and well maintained daily.
Bar is stocked and drinks are yummy and very reasonably priced.
I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to have a great time travelling.
It was my first time in an hostel and I had so many stereotypes about it.
My experience at Yellow Square hostel was absolutely perfect ! So clean, the people and the employees were so nice. The location was perfect too, close to the Roma Termini train station and the city center.
Very small and tight rooms with very little room to open suitcase or change. Laundry was very difficult to use and there was only 1 washer and dryer
Had a very pleasant experience, staff was very nice & helpful. Rooms were clean, just a bit of mold in the showers but apart from that I enjoyed it.
I loved my overall experience. The cleaning staff would clean our dorm everyday punctually. The washrooms were equipped with all necessities and I specifically liked that they had a hand held water bidet. The rooms were also sufficiently sound proof to prevent parties from bothering you. There are two things which can be improved though . Firstly, there should be a mat on the bathroom entrance to prevent the whole room from getting wet and dirty (because the washbasin was v narrow which caused water to collect on the bathroom floor) and secondly, I wish the staff could also help with navigating the city. For example I could not figure out the regional train system and where my trenatilia pass works but the staff said they didn’t know either. I also noticed that the pamphlets didn’t have a lot of info.
I first met Yellow Square in Florence and came to Rome today and no hesitation I booked my place from Yellow House again, from staff to the rooms and the place itself everything was amazing. You’re doing an amazing job!
The staff made the place buzz every day with their events, the hostel itself was clean and safe too. The free pasta every night was good and brought everyone together. Beds were comfy and showers hot! Everyone was super respectful of privacy, one thing is to bring your own lock for your locker, it doesn’t come with a built on lock/code.
This was my first solo, travel experience and I had a wonderful time. There were many social events to meet people and the room was very nice and clean. The location is great because you are so close to the city center. I would definitely go back.
It’s missing the most important aspect you can offer to your travelers in shared bedrooms: the privacy, with a simple fabric you can provide privacy, cheap and easy to implement.
Thank you for all your offers and help. I enjoyed the stay
Yellowsquare offered an amazing stay! I became friends with all of the girls in my room and the hostel definetly offered many events to make sure everyone had the opportunity to get to know each other.
My stay at yellow was great. They offer nice rooms in a secure location. Socialization is super easy thanks to the bar area just next store that is owned by them. The price was as good as it gets, especially for what is offered.
It is very well located, the hostel is very nice, clean. The staff is good. they make you feel welcome. they have many activities you can do with them,
Yellow square is a good option, if you travel to Rome and you want to stay in a place with amenities. The rooms was big and I really appreciate to have bathroom inside the room.
Is pretty close to the main attractions if you like to walk.
The staff was very kind and helpful.
You have discount at the bar, that’s a plus.
Thanks, it was really nice
It’s my first internationally hostel experience and the bar is set very high. I went with no expectations and a good mind set. Upon my arrival, i got greetly with nothing but good energetic vibes that made my comfort level feel at ease. Im a solo traveller, and ive been used to it for sometime now, but the atmosphere you provide makes the experience more comforting and with your staff it makes it very memorable. It was an amazing experience and im looking forward in coming back. Hold on to them staff. They are unique and priceless 🫶🏽
Overall experience is great. Clean, enough space, many facilities and friendly people.
Very nice rooms, lamp, socket and shelf above the bed, own toilet and bathroom, big lockers, own safe for every bed, free pasta every day, free welcome drink, rooftop pool with chairs and bar (I guess in summer), very nice and helpful staff, 15 min to the station. You can also get a second bedsheet as a curtain for your bed.
My room was nearby the lift and even as a private one there was not enough sounding isolation, plus the other visitors clearly did not care about making massive noise around 3am or 4am. Despite this clear lack of respect everything else was ok although I did not try the food and drinks being on Lent.
The best hostel place i have ever been to! beds are super comfy, stuff amazing, free welcoming drink and meal, love the people :))
I had the best time there, the rooms were a little bit little, but everything was compensated because of the people, the bar and the organization.
Without a doubt the most fun hostel I’ve ever been to. As a solo traveler it was easy to make friends with roommates and at the bar downstairs. The events are great fun and the staff creates an environment that is welcoming with games and activities every night. The facilities are also clean and comfortable, with valuables lockers and under-bed lockers for larger items (bring a small padlock). Being located near Termini adds to the experience, as you’re never more than a nice morning’s walk or an easy metro away from most attractions in the city, or quick trains to nearby cities. 10/10!
My promo didn’t work at all and the price I paid on site was inconsistent (raised twice). Booked through link from email of you.
had good service, everything was as advertised. met some nice people. lock and towel were very cheap. aula bar was nice too
Friendly people, comfortable bed, great piazzeta, cheap bar good location. Pricey, but the whole of Milan is
Fantastic hostel, good vibes and lots of activities organised by the team! Would 100% recommend this hostel to anyone coming to Florence!! Loved it!
It was a really nice stay at the hostel. We had so much fun. It was really clean and everyone was so friendly.
In my experience, the hostel has a welcoming culture. The activities offered, the facilities, and the friendliness of its staff are designed to make you feel comfortable from the beginning. Thank you for your kindness! I will definitely look for you in other cities.
