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.
Very nice hostel, clean and helpful staff. Many events for hostel guests available in reception.
Location is not the greatest for touristing around and later night drinks, well connected for during the day and to the Terminal, just not so much happening for beginning of the week.
Good place to sleep and have fun for a few days
Loved the bar, loved the discounts at the bar, and rooms were good. Only shame is that there was no curtain on the beds for a little more privacy, but the individual safes were good too.
hostel is around 3–4min walk from M3 porta romana and only a few stops away from the milano dome. rooms were very clean, each bed had a personal safe (additional to the locker) right there and also a bed light and night stand. you can “close the courtains” for privacy with another bedsheet which is already provided. there’s a lot of events organized by yellowsquare, e.g. concerts, pub quizzes, yoga lessons, karaoke nights etc. the community kitchen was very clean, w/ free pasta and cereal provided by the hostel. staff was very friendly and helpful. would stay here again
The staff are friendly, the breakfast is a good size and is tasty! The place is trendy with comedy nights and a quiz night held, an all-round sociable atmosphere.
Very friendly environment, staff is great and very helpful, the rooms are spacious and confortable. Location is excellent, 5 min walk from the train station and 2 min walk from a bus that takes you directly to the Colosseum and to Fontana di Trevi. Made so many friends and the daily activities are very fun. You ca have free pasta for dinner form Monday to Thursday!:) Also you can find pasta (for you to cook), cereal, salt and oil for free in the kitchen!
The experience was very good. I really liked the service of the stuff, all of them very nice. I also liked the breakfast options and the design of the space, where you can work if you need during the day and have fun in the evenings at the bar and with the varied activities they organize. The room was clean, save and comfortable.
As a young woman, I felt very safe staying at this very clean hostel as the buildings surrounding it are family-owned restaurants. Bathrooms were clean and provided shampoo and body wash (I would have liked conditioner to be provided as well in the bathroom). They had safes to lock my important belongings in and locker/cage things under the beds to store your bigger belongings (bring your own lock). Easy access to public busses outside and very close to Villa Borghese park! I usually feel gross when I leave a hostel, but I 100% could have stayed an additional week and I wish I did because I didn’t want to leave Rome!
The location is good, close to the train station. The place had all the facilities you would generally need. The bar was lively, with cheap beer and good events/activities going on. The thing I did not like at all was the room. I paid extra for a “superior room” (Room 300) and I think the Italian for superior seems to be different than English..
The only thing I could see that was superior, was the bunk beds were a different style than the regular rooms. Beyond that everything seemed almost worse. The bathroom stunk of urine, you had to lean to one side while sat on the toilet, otherwise the sink was in your ribs. The tiles were grotty and broken. The shower also grotty, was very small, very hard to change while in there and not get your clothes wet from shower spray. And also the rooms main floor was old grotty tiles too. Strangely this rooms looks nothing like the photos from Hostelworld, so I did feel a bit hoodwinked.
Also one more tiny thing, you get 1 power socket next to your bed, and that is in use by the bedside lamp. So you have to choose between light and using the power socket. Also the socket is very high up, so when I had my plug adapter and then phone charger in that. So the whole plug arrangement was hanging out of the wall, not charging properly at times. Luckily I was able to prop the plug up using the lamp. But not ideal, I think there could be a better design.
The
I had a very nice stay with you! Will repeat 🙂
This hostel is probably one of the best I have stayed in. If you are looking for a social hostel which will allow you to meet great people, this is the place! The free pasta and bar were my favorite part! I would definitely stay again if I were to go back to Florence!
I liked how helpful and considerate were the staff and the rooms were pretty clean and new.
Loved the environment and decorations. Everything was very clean and staff was nice as well. Drinks were a little expensive compared to other hostels I’ve been in but food was well priced!
Very contemporary hostel, they had everything thought of.. even a hair salon. Events ran each night which was great for solo travellers as I met people easily. The place was clean & the area felt safe. I’d definitely stay again.
Had a great time while staying in YellowSquare Milan. The hostel is in a great location close to the Porta Romana subway station. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The room was very clean and I made some friends while staying in there. Would highly recommend.
Was great, surprisingly equipped and clean.
Hostel was clean and I liked the communal kitchen. Most of the people were around 25-30 years old, so not the best community for younger travellers. But overall everything was great!
The price I paid was very reasonable and will likely return again soon!
Lovely hostel and great location, however has bed bugs.
It was a great experience I met some great people and had a lot of fun!
Many interesting programs, nice facilities, kind staffs.

All of the people working there were very friendly. Guided me properly. Rooms were cleaned every day. Good food as well.
So clean an comfy and the people were very nice!
This was my first solo hostel experience and it was great! Everything was clean, decorated nicely and staff was so friendly. Lots of activities for travelers. Downstairs was lovely but my room was quiet. Only downside was the location- the loud street wasn’t awesome and it was a bit of a walk to central Florence, but that’s not anything yellowsquare can really do anything about. And it was fine- I just got a lot of steps in:) welcome drink and free pasta dinner were awesome perks! Would definitely recommend.
Probably the best hostel I ever stayed in. Super clean, super sweet staff and the food was also great! Will be coming back if I have the chance to ☺️
We had so much fun. Great environment and clean.
Great staff and facilities. Although price was a little high, room was cleaned and I have no complaint about it.
I recently stayed at YellowSquare and had a fantastic experience overall. The hostel is not situated at the city center but it was close to a metro stop that takes directly to city center which makes it easier to explore the city. The facilities were well-maintained, with a kitchen and cozy lounge area. Cleanliness was good throughout the dormitories, bathrooms, and common spaces, but for some reasons my blanket smelled really bad. The staff were really nice and helpful. I highly recommend it.
I really like this hostel, good and friendly environment, the staff are 5*.
Very good service, nice food, polite and helpful staff, perfekt bed, pleasant atmosphere. I am admired with organisation, that it is possible to do many things in the hostel, not just to sleep and eat.
I wish there were curtains for the beds to give more privacy. I also found the blanket dirty, filled with spots. There should be a duvet cover provided. I did not want to sleep with the blanket and instead I used a jacket to keep me warm. Of course that was insufficient because I was still cold.
Good location, close to the metro, nice cafés/bakerys around. 30 minutes walk to the city center (Dome square) which I recommend for nice weather.
Check In/Out very uncomplicated, nice staff. Overall everything was clean and the bathroom was cleaned daily.
However, the room I stayed in was tiny and overheated. The beds are very squeaky and the metal wall on the back is problematic as you have to be careful at any turn not to touch it or to lean against it (otherwise you wake up the whole room).
Somebody brought someone into the room for the night which I only noticed the morning I left. So it was no problem for me for the moment, but leads to questions regarding security.
The co-working space is also used as office for the hostel staff who have their meetings and (long) calls and there is nothing for noise control. This makes it difficult for concentrated working or own calls.
Besides that I appreciated the free water at the reception and the kitchen for own cooking.
Super clean, super friendly, very organized. Stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and really appreciated the cleanliness and our ensuite bathroom. The price you pay and what you get are in good relation.
I stayed for 3 nights and it was a very beautiful experience! For starters the staff was really helpful. The room was a bit hard to find in building B but the place was super pretty and cozy and the environment was really friendly.
The room itself was fine, only the bedsheets smelled a bit off for some reason. Maybe they weren’t washed properly. Even the roommates were really kind and cheerful!
Amazing, fresh, lots of things to do
I had a really positive experience at Yellow Square Milan. The place was clean, and the service was just fantastic – they truly made me feel welcome. The bed was super comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep. One suggestion I have is to consider adding a cozy sofa area for guests to relax in, and maybe curtains by the beds for extra privacy, especially in shared rooms. I think these touches would make the stay even more enjoyable for many. Grazie, siete degni di raccomandazione! 👌
I stay there fore nights they was amazing i felt like my home ,and all of staff was friendly and good behaviour thank you😊
