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.
Everything was great, we arrived at night and check-in was very easy, we had no problems. Very good atmosphere and it’s great that there are activities every night.
It was my first time in a hostel and It was the best environment I could find!
The hostel, the rooms, the staff, the bar, the neighborhood, the tips, the maps, the coworking, the parties these guys have everything!
Everything was very smooth working, helpful staff and fresh.
Easy to find other travelers to hang out with and the bar with different activities were perfect to spend an evening at!
I really enjoyed my stay there! Everyone was really nice, great environment…simply excellent 🙂
We couldn’t have expected better! we loved the activities schedule, the room was very clean and well organized. Overall, it’s the perfect hostel to meet people and have a great milano experience 🙂
Very friendly staff and atmosphere.
Rooms were clean and tidy
Perfect is the word – for everything that we experienced. The atmosphere is so lively and super friendly. You always have options for one or the other activity if one is interested.
Great place
I felt like the biggest (and only) let down was the beds we had. We had a bunk bed that squeaked like crazy and just made it really hard to sleep. Unlike beds at other hostels we stayed at throughout out trip, the beds here didn’t give a lot of privacy, adding some curtains would be a nice little luxury.
Outside of that, the facilities were nice enough – good water pressure, everything was clean, staff were friendly
As first impression the dorm was good and looked like the pictures!
I was a bit disappointed because I had to buy my own lock for my locker, and most importantly there was no curtain to my bed. Of course it is a dorm but the minimum privacy is required and seeing strangers sleep and them look at you is quite unpleasant. I was surprised because all other hostels i’ve been to provided these. Gladly, a staff lady offered me another bed sheet to use it as a curtain.
The biggest downside is the bathroom. While it is very nice to have it for each bedroom, they were very poir and STINKED. Everyday even though the cleaning lady came, there was a super strong smell of piss. Really disguating.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
The Yellowsquare 🟨 was clean and convenient.
Very warm and kind staff.
Wifi is good.
Bathrooms are very very small but clean.
Beds are sturdy, clean, and comfortable.
The bar might be a little too loud for those of you who just want to sleep but it’s not terrible.
The safe might maybe too safe. When I was leaving it stopped working and I couldn’t get my stuff out but thankfully Paul from the front desk was there to help.
The Yellowsquare is good but the neighborhood is dirty and dangerous.
I have been to 29 countries and know how to stay out of trouble.
On my last night, four Africans attacked me outside the hostel and stole my phone with sentimental travle photos on my memory card that I will never see again. I tried to get it back but four against one does not work too well especially with the fact that I was already limping from a recent injury. These four fiends were bold. Unashamed and accustomed a life of crime. I was able to get some guys from inside the bar and we ran after them for two and a half blacks before they got away in a car. I am a strong athletically built man in my 20s and I was still attacked. This is NOT A SAFE neighborhood. This is dangerous for ladies and solo travelers. I cannot recommend this location.
My experience there was great! I’m looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the rooftop.
The building is gorgeous and the rooftop is sweet! I had a great time and met great people at the handful of activities they plan. It was a fun social environment and breakfast was also great. The appetizers were cheap and I really enjoyed my entire stay.
I highly recommend staying at YellowSquare if you are staying in Florence! One of the nicest, and cleanest hostels I’ve stayed at. I love how the hostel offers activities to do everyday at hostel. It’s also not too far of a walk from City Centre, or you can take the tram that is right down the street that will get you to the City Centre as well. The train station is also only a 10 minute walk away.
very nice!!
I enjoyed my stay very much. It was a very clean.
I loved the restaurant on the other side of the street and was there daily.
What can I day about this hostel! Such a fun, organized, well put together hostel. It’s also in a great location. Right across from the tram, so it’s so easy to get around. The staff were phenomenal. They were so helpful whenever I needed it. The vibe of the hostel is warm and inviting and I would 100% recommend it for anyone looking to stay in Florence.
had a great experience at yellow square rome, was travelling with a friend one night and alone the other. the amenities provided were perfect for this — i wanted to go out but feared going out alone in a new city, and the yellow bar worked perfect for this! the breakfast in the morning got me going, and the beds were comfortable and clean. everyone was very kind and helpful.
I had a truly wonderful experience during my stay at Yellowsquare Rome. Its central location, excellent amenities, and cleanliness made my stay truly memorable.
Great place for a great price! The rooms and bathrooms were all really clean and super cute as well. All of the staff was lovely. The free dinner was yummy and there were good food options for purchasing too. Would def recommend!
The hostel waa nice and very social, but in my room the bathroom had no lock, total lack of privacy and very uncomfortable
This place was perfect. Before and after check in they held our bags so we did not have to worry about them. It is filled with young and fun people from all over. The common areas and rooms were modern and clean. I could not recommend a place more.
I stayed in a private room that had all the amenities I needed, including a safe and a hairdryer. Towels were also provided and the room was cleaned everyday, which I did not expect. We also greatly enjoyed the Yellow Bar in front of the hostel and got some great perks there because of being there. All the staff was lovely and we got to leave our bags there for free because we arrived before check-in time, which was a great relief. It is also located very close to a metro station and a bus stop that covers the whole city. Overall very good experience and I will be sure to visit other YellowSquare hostels in other Italian cities I visit.
Just had the best stay at the Yellow! The atmosphere was great and met lots of amazing people throughout my days there. I was having such a great time that I extended my stay several times.
One thing that could have been improved was room extensions: they were not nearly as smooth here as other hostels I’ve stayed at. I had to have my room switched for maintenance twice, and this meant that I had to check out at 10am and wait until 3pm to check back in… the first time this occurred, I understood; but the second time, I had specifically mentioned that I’d likely wanted to extend further and the concierge said “of course, no problem, come back and let me know, we have space, etc.” and when I did return ~6 hours later to confirm, I found out that the new room I’d waited for that day was also going into maintenance the next day, and that I’d have to do the kicked-out check-in/check-out dance once again. Pretty frustrating to not have a room for 5 hours 2 days in a row, and especially rough for a party hostel like Yellow.
However, this rigamarole aside, I had an awesome time. I’ll definitely stay again, next time I’m in Rome… I’ll just make sure to book my entire stay in advance, no extensions.
All the facilities were great. I am happy to see a bidet was there was well. Also the lockers were very useful. The bathroom was very nice and clean.
The room was really nice, as the hostel. It was clean, and with everything we could need.
Amazing! I only stayed for a night, but it was lovely. Free welcome drink and the bar and the espresso and breakfast was great in the morning. The room was nicer than a lot of hotels I’ve stayed in. They had spacious storage lockers in the room and even bigger ones to rent for €1 downstairs.

Yellow Square has an excellent staff and good vibes. The bar of the hostel is in front and it has events every night. They give you a free welcome drink and free pasta dinner every night! Good located too, 4 blocks from Termini Starion
The best people in charge of my room. The areas for chillin’ , cooking, the bar!.
They re so helpfull.
You wouldnt regret.
will be back
I visited Milan with my sister,we stayed only for a night but it was memorable we had free pasta and we painted tote bags,the whole environment was such a vibe and what a great location!
I stayed here for 3 nights and felt very safe and welcomed. There was something happening every night which made it a great way to meet people. The common space/ work space was great as well! I have nothing but good things to say about this hostel!
I had everything I required, and more! Great atmosphere, extremely friendly and helpful staff (both professional and volunteering), various and enticing activities each and every day/night, comfortable and safe quarters, accessible facilities…. Definitely a top-notch establishment!
This hostel was amazing and exceeded my expectations, however there was a certain smell, like rotten eggs, that would come and go through the main area at night. It could have been the sewer, as I smelled it around town too.
