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.
Friendly staff and nice environment. It would be better if the windows were sound proof because we could hear a lot of drunk people noise at night but nothing that an earplug cant fix. In general good experience. I recommend it
I spent two nights in the Yellow Square Milan, I had a good time there!
The room was clean! The room size is good, I liked the fact that they have a sink in the bathroom as well as another one inside of the room!
The staff was nice! Good localization! 5 min walk distance to the subway and supermarket. 20 min walk-distance from Duomo.
I recommend it!
This was my first time staying at a hostel and I was rather dubious at first. After my stay here I am now converted! There was an incredible atmosphere at YellowSquare, the staff were friendly, the amenities were plentiful and there was some great events put on too!
Super friendly and helpful staff! Great atmosphere- you can chill out if you want or get crazy it’s totally up to you. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, just know there’s only one toilet/shower per floor.
I liked the property very much! I think it was a bit expensive but i liked that there are many activities inside the hostel. The common area was very good to meet people, the rooms were very good and clean and I had an overall great experience and attention from the hosts. Would recommend!
The room was lovely, the people were amazing and the yellow bar across the road was fantastic !! Loved everything and it was close to the station so getting around was so easy.
Everything was great except for the showers that were a little tight(it was clean enough). I will probably go back to this place but would like to see some improvement in the bathroom area.
The hostel itself was great, the staff and other guests were lovely. The bar was great but closed very early unfortunately, and the staff at the bar were not informed of events the hostel advertised which were supposed to take place at the bar (ie: free pasta night) which led to misinformation.
Genuinely a great stay. We booked a private room and it was clean and beds were comfy. Staff were lovely and helpful.
Nice location, the staffs are very friends, good bar to meet people or have a night in Rome
I didn’t have a good experience. I stayed for two nights (April 25th and 26th). Both nights, the person sleeping in the top bunk (Room 105, Bed 5) had another person with them who not only stayed but also got up several times to vomit and use the bathroom. It’s a large hostel, and anyone can come and go, which means they don’t have control over these things. The reception staff were friendly, and the hostel was clean, but these kinds of situations make you feel unsafe and ruin the stay.
Comfortable stay!
Absolutely recommend it!!
This hostel adds sooo much value for what you pay for. Me personally, I loved the fact there was a co-working space for free, along with the free dinners. In terms of the room, it can be a bit noisy but the reception also provides you free earplugs which is such a win. The staff are super nice (special shout out to my friend Fritzz). The showers are pretty small but honestly you don’t notice with the rest of the value from the hostel. Met so many amazing people, was a great start to my journey.
my friend and i shared one of the female only dorms with two other people & we were lucky to get along with them. everything was really clean and organized and we had no trouble figuring out how to work things even though we don’t speak much italian. the staff was great & helpful and our stay was pretty much entirely relaxing. the only thing we had trouble with was when people were singing so late it was difficult to fall asleep. that being said we also understand that this hostel is known as a place to party & make connections! (the singing was pretty good too haha)
So clean, brilliant facilities excellent bed and shower and spacious rooms. Common area is a good vibe and it’s comfortable. Location is perfect easy to get to places and has good local restaurants
Great great place ! Everything that you could need travelling.. staff very kind ,Laura and Julio are the best ..
They have activities every day and also free pasta(dinner) with drink Monday to Thursday. 100% recommended..
I had a great experience at Yellowsquare. The receptionists were so kind, the bedding smelled clean & WAS clean. They ordered me a taxi no problem & were so incredibly helpful. As a female, I felt so safe.
I have already shared a Google review regarding this. We were expecting the common washrooms to be clean. However, the basin and toilet were covered in puke. The washroom was stinking
stop the loud bass on the main floor. people on the second floor hear it til 1130pm every night. sorry, we are not here to play games, we want to see things in Florence and so get sleep so we can do so. just turn the music down, it’s really that simple. also, pool is very cold, seems not heated, that should be advertised.
also, no outside alcohol? ahh…is that written somewhere before we sign up? we are not children, and are allowed to do what we want in our own room. and are you going through my bag of stuff in the public fridge? I can keep what I want in there, and I don’t even believe it’s legal for you to say what I can and cannot have..again, we need transparency from you here.
My first time in hostels however it was very nice and I enjoyed knowing new people also felt comfortable and safe.
This was my first time staying at a hostel, and I must say the experience was so much better than I could have imagined! All of the staff was extremely kind and helpful, and the planned activities were always a blast! If I’m ever back in Rome I would 100% stay here again!
It’s a nice place, I met incredible and talented people, it was a really amazing night in the hostal.
Overall, my stay was good. The staffs were welcoming at the reception and the rooms are clean.
I travelled to Florence alone, and with the cost of hotel rooms soaring I chose instead to rent a private room at Yellowsquare; it was one of the best decisions of my trip. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and inviting; the hostel was clean, hip, and lively without being “too-much” in any way.
There was a feeling of being in a college dorm in the best way possible—bright, exuberant people around at all times but not suffocating, just living their lives parallel to yours. The food at the hostel was underrated (try the Yellow Caesar or the Schiaccata Paesana) and the communal spaces tranquil and relaxed.
I will definitely be staying here and sending friends here when circumstance brings any of us to Florence, and will check out their other locations as well.
We had a great time at this hostel. The beds were comfy, the place was clean. The staff was nice!
This was an absolutely amazing hostel. I find hostels have started becoming a little pricier compared to when I started using them, so I think it’s important that they have activities available and discounts, etc and Yellowsquare def pulls through on all aspects. They even have a free pasta dinner every night. Very impressive. I wish it would have been warm enough to e joy the rooftop pool.
My niece is going to love her hand painted souvenir!! X
I was traveling alone for the first time, and this place was super nice and made me feel very safe. The front desk attendants were always incredible helpful and nice when I had a question and the hostel had multiple events every day to sign up for (like pasta making and Pictionary). My room had two locked doors in between reception and the room: one to get to the rooms on that floor and one to get into the room. There was also a bathroom inside the female only dorm which isn’t always the case with hostels so I liked that. The location was also perfect because it is less than 10 minutes from Termini which is a train station that can take you to Rome center or to the airport.
Easy check in, and the bar was pumping. The bed was slightly uncomfortable but its a hostel so no big deal
All in all the room was clean but I payed way too much money for a stay in a very small room with bunkbeds.
Even tough it was design week I think it is a bit too much for this. Apart from this it was cleanand quiet. And the staff was very friendly and helpfull.
The hostel was clean, that is the most important to me, it was comfortable, in great location, surrounded by some really good restaurants, just next to the Metro line, walkable distance to the city centre and other neighbourhoods (cca 40-50 minutes). Beautiful architecture all around. Great DJ on Friday night, friendly guests and roommates. Just good.
Only one reminder – bring your own lock for the locker. Not too big.
This was the first time I had stayed in a hostel and I couldn’t have been more lucky with YellowSquare Florence, the staff were amazing, so welcoming and friendly. The free pasta was a great perk and I made lots of friends in the common area spaces.
Unbelievable good place. People from every nation, a great welcome at reception with everything explained well and lots of free goodies and a free welcome beer. Super bar and events and parties daily.
Great great facilities and location.
Simply the best hostel in Rome!
I really liked my stay at YellowSquare in Florence. The atmosphere was great, the hostel had nice facilities, it was clean, the staff was really friendly and the organised activities were so nice as well. Especially the cooking class was something I really liked!
Had a great first experience at a hostel! Will come back again!
Good service, nice breakfast, fresh, modern and clean. The bed was a little bit hard and very noisy every night upto 12 pm. I had my room on the first floor.
everybody wad really nice and everything was so clean! I didn’t stay long but I would have liked it
My room was above the bar but I had zero noise!
