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.
We are both happy on be able on visiting you another time (me and my couple)
The hostel had the best vibe. The events were so fun and it’s so convenient it being just across the road. The room was spacious and clean and all the staff were super friendly. I was a solo female traveller and would definitely go back.
the staff working were lovely and were really helpful when you had questions about getting around rome! the room was perfect for our stay, had the basics of what you needed and did the job for when your needing to shower and sleep!
the bar across the street was great for drinks and something to eat, has activities to take part in too.
Lots of organised activities made it easy for a solo traveller to meet people. The on-site coffee and pastries was a great touch, and really good value.
I loved the experience! It’s perfect for both people who want to be social and those who want to relax and get a good nights sleep. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Everything from the interior design to the staff to the many many activities were so pleasant. Everything was very clean. The staff was so welcoming. The atmosphere all the way through our stay was so nice. We really enjoyed our time here.
The hostel is super well located, and it has everything! Like kitchen and fridge, which I really appreciated. However, the mattress was not very confortable and it was zero privacy between the beds (not curtains in each bed and all of the beds were facing each other).
We had a really good time at Yellowsquare and we enjoyed the place as well as the staff’s kindness.
I spent a couple of super good nights at the hostel, it had very good facilities, everything was very comfortable.
Maybe just one detail is that I had to stay in a room close to the playground so the noise was quite loud around 12:00 (midnight) when I wanted to sleep.
Bed was ok. Check in and check out were easy. Location was ok.
I met a few people at the bar and was able to talk to them.
It can be difficult to connect with other travellers in a foreign city, if you don’t know anybody.
But here it was comparatively easy.
I appreciate that your staff is very customer-oriented. I was happy I was able to change room. The hostel is also in a good location. But in terms of facilities I don’t think I got value for money. The dorm rooms are small and very basic. No tea, coffee and milk provided (I don’t think this would have cost you a fortune). I left YellowSquare feeling it was too expensive.
Great and spacious room, with nice facilities and great location.
Super clean with big bunks in the dorms. Met some cool people there and really enjoyed my stay!
The rooms were super clean and airy, with plenty of space.
Its a nice place, the room was clean and with good space.
First time in a hostel and a very good experience!
I had such a wonderful time at YellowSquare Florence! The atmosphere was lovely and I met such incredible people. All of the staff are super helpful + friendly and I really loved all of the planned social events. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the shared areas are well looked after and the rooftop pool is an incredible addition!!
Of course the location in beautiful Florence just ties everything together to create such a great stay.
I loved it so much that within days of leaving I booked to come back. Looking forward to staying again ❤️
I stayed here for 2 nights. Great and welcoming staff, good facilities, multiple and well prepared shared area for relax, chill, bar, and kitchen. However, during the 80s and 90s songs party night. It was very hard to sleep, I was in building B, ground floor, you could fell the windows shaking because of the sounds of the DJ. This was 2 AM, not 11 PM, not 1 AM, but 2 AM. Although the party was under the ground, still not well isolated, I really had hard time to get to sleep. Of you’re planning to stay here and not willing to party, then avoid the days when they have the DJ. Food there is great, worth every penny, they also give you a free drink coupon. I’d stay here again but not during the parties nights. One last not, shower in my room was broken, room MB02.
Amazing experience. Staff lovely! Lots of free food! Thank you
Everything was fine, but in my mixed room there were one 18 y old girl who got too drunk and made a mess in the room during the night. From midnight to 5 am talking loud and wanting to leave for some party that didnt exist. The staff asked me to be aware for her, so I am my cousin were. We did not let her get outside because it was not safe for her in those conditions. All ok with that! Sometimes we need to take care of someone, however what happened the next day was that something I didnt like.
I went to the reception and told what happened and asked the staff to be aware for her and if she was drinking a lot again that night I would like to change rooms or change her. What was told me is ” it´s a drinking hostel and it is normal”. They couldn´t do anything.
Not cool from the part of the staff. Except that, everything was nice!
The staff were very welcoming and the accommodation was clean and situated in a great residential area with all the attractions within walking distance, highly recommended.
I really liked my experience in YellowSquare, there were activities for guests, there were free cooking ingredients, a big kitchen space, discounts for guests at the bar, coworking space, cheap laundry services, big locker spaces, soap at the showers, a nice hidden garden, a place to get a haircut, it is located outside the cazy crowd area, but close to the termini, a metro station and bus stops.
The dorms are clean and have A/C. The showers and toilets in the room were clean, though quite small. The beds were comfy and there were safes for valuables.
Hostel events were a mixed bag, they were kinda improvised and didn’t really help to meet people. The bar is nice, the drinks are relatively cheap. Towels were only a euro, good deal.
Very Clean. Nice Staff. Beds are comfy. Lockers are Big. Great sozial Events. You can meet people easily. Food options are good.
It’s a bit far from the Centre but manageable
The hostel is very well located and the employees are always kind and offering help. The common areas are OK.
The stuff was well organised and took care immediatly, when there was smth to help🙃. A lot of warmhearted and chatty people around. The 4 Bedroom was also tiptop. 👍🏽
I stayed in Florence for a couple days and it was sooo good!!
Absolutely loved yellow square, Monica and Ahmad were sooo kind.
Definitely would go back!
Clean, quiet, near to Termini and old city, friendly staff
I had a pleasant stay here. It’s in a tucked away location but well connected — only a couple of minutes’ walk from Porta Romana on the M3 Metro line, direct to Duomo or Central Station, and the No. 9 tram to Porta Genova.
The common areas were cheerfully decorated, and there was a full calendar of events to engage people, though I didn’t get to try them out due to commitments. Unfortunately, my sleep was badly disturbed by the Friday night party, despite provision and use of earplugs.
My dorm room was clean and modern, with good bathroom. Bunk bed ladder was uncomfortable to climb (narrow treads) and individual lighting was badly set up to flood the entire room. Curtains would have been appreciated.
Staff were helpful, breakfast selection and quality of food was excellent. Though I’d tried to economise, this still seemed expensive for a hostel (even to my Milanese friend) but it seemed difficult to do better for the price. I’d consider it if I came back, though I’m not much of a returning traveller.
I really liked my stay at Yellow Square and I would certainly seek it out again in the future. The staff had a great attitude and the environment was always good.
Super clean, social but not loud, bar area is fun
It was amazing! I just don’t know from where to begin. Stuff is awesome – everyone is super helpful. Room was just perfect: extremely comfortable bed and bathroom. And I really like a lot of activities that was just every day!
Great staff and atmosphere
Great hostel with amazing staff and atmosphere. Very social. Only down sides are: bit of a walk from town center, no privacy curtains, lockers are quite small.
great experience
We went with a friend and we loved the activities that were available. The karaoke was great. The room was clean and the lockers really effective.
My favorite experience honestly was the YellowBar. I wish the DJ played music longer but other than that it was a jam. I think the live music was great too. The staff are all friendly and willing to help.
