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.
A wonderfully located accommodation right in the city center.
The rooms are well-equipped for maximum comfort.
The atmosphere is perfect, and the staff are very friendly.
Bed bugs
Had a good stay, thank you
Our stay in yellowsquare was fantastic! You might think the area was a bit sketchy but it really isnt!! Their location is very walkable to most tourist spots in Athens..It’s a 5-10 minute walk to Monastiraki Square and Monastiraki train station(which connect to the airport)…I also love their rooftop bar where you can watch sunset while drinking wine..
In my opinion a great place to stay. The common area is cozy and the vibe is good. Size of my room was great. Beds are fine in general. Sometimes it can get a bit noisy when you hit the metal wall part. Bathrooms are a bit aged but perfectly alright. It’s nice that the rooms have their own ones. I bet this place is vibrant in summer with the rooftop pool. I was happy about the curtain sheet you can get at the reception.
I loved my stay here. The staff were very kind and helpful, the room and en suite were clean and cozy, and the location is great! I would definitely stay here again.
I was really nervous about staying at a hostel, but the best decision I made for my solo trip to Rome was staying at the Yellow Square. It’s only a 10 minute walk to Termini Station and close to other sites as well. The staff were all wonderful and very helpful. And I got to meet people there from all over the world that I became quick friends with. It was truly a great experience!
The staff were absolutely amazing! Incredibly kind and helpful during the whole stay!!
Absolutely the best! Way beyond my expectations. Friendly staff, brand new facilities, free paste, bar and other activities make this YellowSquare so unique. Would love to come back if possible.
Is a good place with nice people.
Yellow Square Rome is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in Europe. The atmosphere is super social but still comfortable — perfect whether you’re traveling solo or with friends. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with recommendations or bookings.
The rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean, and the beds are comfortable. The location is unbeatable — easy walking distance to Termini station, restaurants, and major attractions. The connected bar downstairs is a huge plus, great for meeting people and enjoying live music or events in the evening.
Overall, it’s got the perfect mix of fun, comfort, and convenience. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Rome!
It was a great stay. It was in a central location and hosted great activities on a daily basis. The rooftop bar with an excellent view of the city was the cherry on top.
The rooms were comfortable and well kept and the communal spaces were amazing and fostered great conversations! I especially loved the culture of the restaurant/bar!
I stayed 2 Nights at Yellowsquare, it was perfect. I thought it might be nice to be closer to the train station so checked out OstelloBello but i was wrong. I saw the other review saying bed bug bites and thought it might just be a one time. They are so itchy and painful and now it’s 1am in Florence (trained from milan this morning) and I can’t sleep because of bed bug bites from OstelloBello. I want a refund.
The area of this hostel it’s really good, just 5 min about the Termini station. The rooms it’s clean. The little bad point is the laudry, 2 washing machine it’s too little compared to the number of rooms.
a clean comfortable room in a good location with several great restaurant options close by. I think the option of a breakfast buffet would go a long way to improving the atmosphere.
Great staff, met some wonderful people, would definitely recommend!
My experience at this hostel in Florence was excellent. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. The facilities are well-maintained, clean, and have a very welcoming atmosphere. They also organize plenty of activities, making it easy to meet people and fully enjoy your stay.
We had a small issue with the two people we were sharing the room with, but when we spoke to the staff, they understood our perspective, were very kind, and resolved everything immediately.
I was so pleased with the experience that I’ll be traveling to Milan in a few days and have already booked with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean hostel with a great social atmosphere.
The hostel was social, the free pasta was good too! The bathroom smelt terrible tho and there was no airflow in the rooms. The thermostat wasn’t great either
From tge moment I checked until I checked out everything was absolutely incredible. The bed and sheets were clean it’s a central location , highly social and events every night. The staff and stayers were all super sweet and helpful. So much someone definitely book again! The rooms are accessed with a key and beds have big lockers underneath . Everyone was super respectful of each other especially in the morning and night. 10/10 highly recommend best hostel I ever stayed at!!!
The hostel is located at a good location. About 10 min away from the train station and a tram just around the corner. Its a beautiful building with an overall nice feel and look. The staff is warm, welcoming and kind. They where very helpful when the ac didn’t work and when the offered to change rooms. We stayed at a private room and had almost everything we needed. Overal I would recommend, but it is important to know that (some) of the private rooms are close to the bar and music may be played and heard till 2.15 am. The rooms are hot en the ac can not be regulated per room and in november only blow hot air. If you do not turn on the ac its okay, but if you prefer a cooler room its not possible cause the window can not be openend.
Yellowsquare provided a pleasant, warm, comfortable, budget friendly stay in Florence. It’s less than 20 minutes by foot from the main train station. I liked staying outside of the historic core of Florence. It’s plenty close, but situated on a quiet street. We enjoyed breakfast, but also used the kitchen most of the days we stayed. We also enjoyed the free pasta from 8-9 pm. Our room (two bunk beds and a full-size bed) was spacious enough, had a nice bathroom, and was quiet. We appreciate that the rooms seem to have sound isolation. Overall, the staff were very warm and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Nice hostel
The place is clean, the atmosphere is friendly, and the staff is professional and very helpful. I was really pleased with my stay here, even more so after trying another hostel afterwards. The difference was huge! This hostel is exceptionally well-run and truly takes care of its guests. Great job to everyone on the team!
Had a good experience with YellowSquare Rome, beds and rooms were okay and clean, except for the bathroom in the six mixed dorm. Black moult everywhere, really gross, due to no ventilation.
Great stay, clean, hot shower, kind staff. Plenty amenities like a laundromat, garage to store bikes or cars, lockers if you like to continue exploring the city after your stay. There’s a bar with games and books and plenty of outlets to charge your devices. There’s activities at night to join in and mingle. We stayed on a Wednesday and didn’t have any noise disturbance.
I had a good experience here at Yellow. I arrived early and was able to store my luggage for free and chill out at their bar/cafe until my room was ready. There is plenty of space to hang out outside of the rooms, both if you are looking to socialize or if you prefer time alone. The kitchen is perfect with lots of space, kitchen supplies, basics for cooking, and everything is always clean. The dorms are nice and cozy and the bathrooms work just fine. There aren’t any curtains, but the girls in my room put up their extra sheet as a curtain. It is a 5-10 minute walk from Roma Termini, which has all the transportation you need to travel around the city.
All the people at the hostel were very nice to us. The room was amazing, and we really appreciated the 20% discount at the hostel’s bar.
Everything exceeded our expectations.
Good and recommenced every one to experience this beautiful property and specially roof top bar and restaurant
The overall stay was very pleasant!
The staff was amazing, the facility was very good, a few flaws on house keeping, there was a strong sewage smell in the room when I checked in but I think it’s a problem of the city and location.
The breakfast was good, waiting time can be improved, the honey that is served with the breakfast was a little waaaay too much so they always end up in the garbage and it’s heart breaking to waste an ingredient that is expensive such as honey.
It was a week of joy. Everyone was so friendly, I felt at home. I was able to work in peace and quiet in the morning, and it was perfect to return to the beautiful terrace after a full day in beautiful Athens. The food was delicious, the service was 200%, and everything was clean.
Excellent in every way 🙂
I had a great time and it’s a decent location, loved that they gave you a welcome drink and pasta and the bar is a great way to meet friendly people but the room was extremely small and staying in the top bed is kinda uncomfy and loud, the bathroom was also really small and didn’t feel really clean.
The perfect place to stay if you want a social and fun hostel. Facilities are great and very complete, there are a lot of social areas and everything is very clean. I work remote and they have a co-working space (wifi needs to be improved). Rooms are spacious and hostel policy is enforced. The only thing that could be better is the location, since it’s not in one of the best neighbourhoods but it’s a 4 min walk from a very busy square.
Great place, safe, confortable and well located.
From the free goodies (like the tote bag and welcome drink) to the cleanliness of the rooms, the stay was very pleasant. The people at the front desk were super nice and helpful, and the events were amazing. It was so great that there was a party downstairs of the hostel and events like tote bag painting.
Enjoyed my stay overall and was a good location. Have stayed 2 times now as easy to get to the city from here. Kitchen facilities were good, always kept clean. Some rooms have curtains others don’t. First room I stayed in didn’t, second time it did. Decent wifi and good indoor anf outdoor space. Free pasta for dinner was also a bonus and yum. Nice to get a free drink card too.
