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.
Wonderful place with friendly staff. I loved the idea of voting for a movie. I was exhausted from my previous travels but would have been so happy to join. Everything about the Yellow Door was welcoming and charming.
This was my first ever time in a hostel and I can say that I am really glad that it was in YellowSquare. At first, I was very worried about staying in a hostel but everything was tidy and the furniture was modern. The atmosphere was really nice and I know that I would definitely come back!
Yellow Square is a very social place and that’s the number one thing for me while choosing a hostel. Always something is going on. Will be back again for sure!
I stayed in a 4 bedroom female dorm. There were enough security amenities for me to feel my belongings were safe. However, there was not enough stowage/surfaces to allow for an organized space. Would have liked to see more drawers/organization tools. Furthermore, the cleaning regime wasn’t very clear, and there was no hand towel included, which would have been nice.
But in conclusion, the staff was always helpful, the concept is very fun and the facilities were pleasant enough.
Really great place
An incredible ambience
They are so kind
I had a good time in this hostel, the facilities are very nice, both in reception and in the room, everything is modern. Just the bathroom could have a stool/bench to place things, that would make it easier.
The hostel also organizes events so travellers can meet each other, which is nice. The club downstairs can get loud at night, so I used the noise cancelling bud provided by them and was fine after that.
The place, location, staff, events, all of it was great. I hope to come back to Milan soon, and yellosquare will be my first choice to stay. Truly a great place to have spent my first time in Milan
I had a great time. I stayed in a female dorm and met some really lovely people at the place. I had booked the breakfast too before arriving and I’m glad I did.
Wow !!! I loved my stay at YellowSquare Rome, I had the best time. The place is clean, pretty and cool. Beds are comfortable, shared bathrooms are so clean, the kitchen is amazing with full equipment, free pasta/cereals and a big table to eat with other travellers. The YellowBar and the planned activities make it so easy to make new friends. And the staff is super nice. I totally recommend it to everyone!
My while thermal shirt was surprisingly disappeared from the room, complained but no solution!!
Firstly, there’s mold in the hostel which you can see in the shower ceiling.
It’s there to such quantities that drinking water and sleeping in the bunks gave me allergies.
Secondly, my female dorm bathroom always had a smell because of bad ventilation and moisture.
Thirdly, you can find a better location in Rome, this hostel is kinda far from everything and anywhere closer to the river is better.
It’s kinda shady around the hostel at night so as a female solo traveler the hostel staff recommend me to come back around 7-8pm.
I’d say find another hostel
I really really really liked my stay at your hostel. The staff was 99999/10, everyone from the bartender to the welcoming staff were super nice and frendly, the athmosfere was cool, we made new friends and the karaoke party was a blast. We stayed to 2 more hostelst in milano and florence but they were nothing compared to this.
Booked this hostel cause of the location and price, also wanted to try out something out of my comfort zone. Slept in a 6 bed female only dorm and met some lovely girls with whom it was a pleasure to share the room. Great activities within the hostel and amenities as well – also the room was quiet during the night despite the parties which was a huge plus!
I had a great time overall,great staff great people a lot of variety in age nationality etc. Very good stay!
It was a nice welcoming hostel, the female dorm had plent of space.
I loved the energy of this hostel! Check in was easy and smooth, and the bar was great and super convenient. I took part in the basement dance parties, and the team games and both were really fun and a great way to meet people in the hostel! I made a lot of friends staying here!
Everyone was wonderful and friendly.
Just a great time, if all hostels were like this then I’d never stay in a hotel.
Ppl in reception were so nice and welcoming
I met so many nice people and this is my best hostel so far thank you very much♥️
Everyone was so incredibly friendly and welcoming! I was upgraded to a private room because of overbooking of 6-person rooms and it was the best surprise after a long day of travelling. Everything was extremely clean, the breakfast at Yellow Bar across the street was great and really reasonably priced, and I enjoyed a delicious cappucino with the free drink card.
This was my first time hostel experience travelling to a foreign country and I LOVED it.
YellowSquare offered everything a traveller could possibly need. From a bar which served excellent coffee and breakfast in the morning to various events organized in the evening. It is also well eqipped with kitchen, dining room, living room as well as laundry. Also, a big plus is that it is conviniently located, only a few minutes walk from Roma Termini (main bus/train station).
Finally, the staff at the reception are really nice and eager to help. A HUGE recommentation! I will for sure stay with them the next time I visit Rome, Milan or Florence.
This place is amazing. I knew nothing about Florence and I leave feeling like a local. Great location for easy exploration of the city, great food, the staff knows the city pretty well and always has a good recommendation for you. The rooms were super safe and confortable, and every day they had something different and fun. This is definitely the place you want to stay while in Florence.
I stayed in a ladies dormitory of 4, it was comfortable, a little cold at night though and the pillow was too thin it hurt my neck, but the dormitory as a whole wasn’t bad. The bathroom had 2 closed stalls, one for the shower and other for the toilet, the sink was outside the stalls. This arrangement is smart for ladies usage as some might take sometime in the shower while others might just want to use the toilet. The toilet had a water hose next to it as well (which is optimum for us Arabs). I haven’t had this in any other hostel in Europe so I was quite pleased, such a small detail makes a big difference.
As for the lobby, it’s quite sociable, the hostel organizers hold different activities everyday, I participated in one (guess what I’m drawing game) and it was entertaining. Around 30 people participated. Even without the games the hostel’s atmosphere is good and inviting.
The receptionists are helpful when asked about anything.
As for other services, such as laundry, it’s €8 in total paid by card only, I think it’s a little pricey. The luggage lockers are for €1 and last the whole day, fair price.
The Santa Maria Novella train station is about 20mins away on foot (a bit longer if you have to drag heavy luggage). The city center attractions are almost 40mins away on foot, but when you start walking you’d reach quicker than you think, I never spent any money in public transportation in Florence.
One issue though that there are no near by supermarkets, they must be Googled, and if found, they close early in the evening.
I’d recommend this hostel, it offers a nice and a comfortable stay for fair prices.
Had a great stay at this place, staff was awesome, nothing bad to say really, good location. Will stay again at this spot.
I appreciated that there were some free food sharing baskets in the kitchen. The bathroom was kind of dirty. Everything was small and tight, but that’s to be expected. The location was nice being walking distance from the train station but far enough away that it felt a little bit safer.
The room was small and the amenities were nice enough. We didn’t splurge on a room because we knew we’d be out and about anyway, but I wouldn’t say the hostel nor the room were wonderful beyond the bare minimum.
Everything was great. Kitchen ,laundry facilities very clean. Customer service is great, they answer emails within minutes. Highly recommended
The kitchen was always dirty, with the pile full of unwashed dishes. Larger frying pans were missing, they were all too small. There was a lack of kitchen utensils. The bathroom in the room was not very clean, the rooms were.
It’s has a great location, very comfortable rooms, and pretty cool activities
From the moment I arrived I felt welcome and comfortable. My room was spacious enough and my bed my was comfortable and private. My roommate’s were friendly and respectful. The location was fantastic, 20-30 minutes walk away from the main areas of Florence, or a 3 minute walk to the tram stop. The whole place was extremely clean and the staff were so kind and helpful and accommodating. I had a lot of fun on the occasional night where I chose to stay in the hostel environment rather than the city. I would definitely stay again!
As a student studying abroad, this hostel made me feel safe and was welcoming. Complete with the lounge, and the bar just across the street (part of the hostel) there was always something exciting to come “home” to
Everything was great
Good environment, great to meet people, clean, nice staff people, close to metro station (2 blocks) and to train station (10 minutes by walk). The internet connection in rooms is no good.
Great location near the metro and 25 min walk to the Duomo. 24/hr reception was great. Staff were knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics and happy to take the time to help. Having a « restaurant » and social hang out spot made for a really nice atmosphere. Nice courtyard for warmer months.
