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.

Amazing time

Staff were very helpful and the whole hostel, bar, kitchen and lounge were very clean and well equipped. Would 100% recommend and I hope to stay here in future.

Great accommodations and amenities. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Free pasta in the evenings- nice for those travellers on a budget.

Only thing I didn’t like what motion sensor lights in the dorms. When people came in late a bright light would come on, not great if you’re still trying to fall asleep.

Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The hostel was clean and just as it looked in the photos. It is close to Roma Termini which is great and very convenient!

One of the nicest hostels I stayed in during my month-long trip. Nice bathrooms, laundry on-site was very convenient and having events at the hostel made it really easy to meet people. Only downside is that it is a good 25 minute walk to the city center however there is a tram right across the street which is very helpful.

I was scared to death when i found out that the blanked dont get washed when someone leaves one of the ladies cleaned the bed of a formal girl who stayed there. I told her she slept naked and that those blanked really need to get changed cuz thats really unhygienic she cleaned tho after i told her so it was good but i was really really shocked that i slept with a blanked that 10000+ had been used before.

The hostel was clean and the atmosphere was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Different activities were planned. I loved the painting on cotton bags activity. At the end we had the bags for us. The location was good. The only problem was less facilities in kitchen, as there was a few old pans, no vinegar or lemon. At all the only thing I didn’t like was the kitchen.

Staff were so friendly, bar and atmosphere were great. The hostel itself is clean and well presented and has plenty of activities and outdoor space and seating. The roof pool is a great addition too!

In short, the hostel for me was ideally located. Everything is super well organized between the different buildings and the staff is great. I just think that the prices are a bit high but so it is in Italy, and the bathroom for an 8-person dormitory is too small. People in my room did not respect general rules of quietness but this is not the hostel’s fault

I really enjoyed my stay here! As for basics: beds are comfy, enough space for your stuff and a lockerbox at the bed. But what makes this hostel great is the activities and the rooftop area. I loved the pasta cooking class and the pubquiz night. Also met so many fun people at the rooftop pool! It’s clean, fun and really cannot recommend more.

Amazing hostel! Rooms super clean and comfortable beds. Only thing is the shared bathrooms are a bit grim. Volunteers are also super fun and make every night at the bar amazing :))

Nice free amenities, could be cleaner and have more activities that are free. Really friendly staff and coworking space it great. The public laundry is awful and the bar food is pricey compared to local options.

Good hostel but lacking on some aspects

/100

Good hostel with a good social atmosphere, events, kind staff. There is a bar, launderette, and kitchen, which is nice.
The rooms are clean and okay.

Pricing though is quite crazy for a hostel, this place can charge more than a hotel depending on when you book, for a bed in a dorm.
I felt like for the very high price (3 times more than what I paid in all other the cities of my trip), the hostel should have been a lot better. I stayed in hostels that were 3 times as cheap (and no, they weren’t in Bulgaria or something similar) and that were waaaaay better, there’s no comparison.

Had an awesome experience. Excellent customer service, super accommodating. The laundromat was the cheapest I’ve found in Europe, and the free pasta offered most nights was also really good!

Besides the snoring at night and how noisy people can get early in the morning, everything else was fine
I just wished they could fix my bed as well since I stayed there for a whole week and they could just change the sheets couple times ,overall not a bad experience if your main reason on this trip is not comfort.

I was only there for 1 night so I didn’t get to take advantage of all the activities but the overall experience was very nice, from the people and staff to the room that was impeccable and very clean. Also couldn’t hear anything going on downstairs or outside from the room l.

This was one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The property is very clean and modern and has an upper deck pool that overlooks all of Florence. The staff were great to interact with and the food/drinks were good as well. The only thing I’d change is allowing guests of private rooms the ability to manage the room temp as our room got a bit hot/stuffy at times.

I like that each bed has its own plug, and appreciate all the available amenities.
However, it would be good to have mosquito nets on the windows (especially on the ground floor), as I got bit a lot. More charging options in the room would also be good.
Ladders unsteady and hard to climb (esp. at night)
Because the beds are made of metal, there is a fair amount of noise when people move in their sleep.

As a single American woman, I was hesitant to travel alone in a big city. This hostel made me feel safe while also giving me a young atmosphere and incorporating a great cultural experience!!!

Everything was very well organized. I felt very welcome and there were lots of activities one could choose from. Obviously, there were mostly young people but even as an older person I didn’t feel out of place. I welcomed the possibility to have a curtain in fron of my bed, have a safe and a locker. It is also very conveniently located.

Very clean and tidy, there was always someone cleaning.
Rooms: nice and organized. Clear rules. Separated (another building) from kitchen,reception an common places. Secure entrance with magnetic card.
Bathroom: clean, handy. 3 WC, 3 showers. They weren’t a lot but enough for the people that were there. I didn’t have to wait to use them.
Kitchen: had everything we needed to serve ourselves. Most of the people doesn’t cook

My experience in Roma

Very good place to stay , very clean, weel located close to the train station (however this area is not the best one of Roma if think concerning the security…) The reception is open 24/24 hours which is very suitable if your plane arrives late. Great place to meet new people, there are a lot of solo travelers and the bar/nightclub in front of the hotel allowed me to meet new people very rapidly.
Dormitories are confortable, the bed was OK, bathroom as well, cleaned everyday …. unfortunalely my “roomates”wasn’t very clean and respectful about others but that’s the risk of sharing things with strangers.
Overall very recomendable place to stay, especially for solo travelers.
