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.
Overall, everything was good (special thanks for the co-working space!) but there is some room for improvement:
– the bathroom door in the dorm was hard to close – it’d be a good idea to change the locker type
– the bathroom itself wasn’t in the best condition with its broken hangers and quite old renovation in general
– sleeping on the bad next to the door and the bathroom is quite annoying – maybe think about moving beds?
– WIFI didn’t work properly everywhere
– No duvet cover but only a bedsheet so you can’t tuck the blanket into it which is absolutely inconvenient
I have only good things to say. The rooms were cleaned every day. Everything was very well run. 9/10 only because there weren’t curtains on the bunks, but they would give you a sheet to use. Excellent customer service.
I think its much better than others similar places.
This is much more like a hotel than hostel, with a communal room that people tend to work/study in rather than be social in. The nights organised often fell a bit flat. Staff were lovely, place was super super clean, and in a great location. My mates and I had a 4 room private but it was so small we couldn’t all stand up at the same time or we couldn’t move around, each bed had a power socket but in 2 of the beds they didn’t work.
I was in a spacious 4 bed female room and it was super quiet and clean. Staff were super helpful and having the restaurant over the road was really convenient. Also was able to walk comfortably from termini
Staff was really friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean, met nice roommates. Most of all, it was safe.
The location is great and I like the big locker and safe box in the room. One thing that bothered me was the unstable wifi that kept disconnecting.
Yellowsquare was very clean, everyone was friendly and they do a lot to foster community. each room has a full bathroom to share which is a nice alternative to dorm-style showers.
All staff were very helpful and there was always someone around to help. Everyone always had a smile on their face which meant that everyone felt very approachable. Lovely service! The general atmosphere was welcoming and safe. There were activities you could join if you felt like it but were also able to have a quiet night if that was what you wanted. The free pasta for dinner and drink voucher was also very generous and much appreciated. Obviously, this is not easy to implement but possibly having more than 2 of each, a dryer and washing machine, could better help the experience of visitors. Again we understand the reasons for light bedding and thin pillows however in winter when you are not able to turn up the heat it would be nice to be offered an extra blanket. A range of ages were visiting, even some families with kids. This was nice to see a lot of different people enjoying the space. There was also the opportunity to join activities in the night if you wanted to experience a bit more of a party atmosphere. Being right near the tram and very close to the train station made our stay even easier to visit Florence.
the staff was really friendly, the room was clean and tidy, and everything went well.
my only remark is that the towels should be changed more often.
The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Very affordable with free breakfast and diner!
It was clean and the staff were very kind

Clean hostel and friendly staff.
I recommand.
Super good place. It is great for cooking also with a lot of free food. Nice chill bar/outdoor area. Very very clean and safe.
We really liked staying in this hostel, it is the first one that we really felt it was worth staying. The location is perfect because you are away from the hustle and bustle and you can walk to the center without any problems, although the subway station is also very close. It is super clean, the food itself (breakfast, lunch, etc.) is delicious, and the atmosphere is super friendly and comfy. I would stay at any YellowSqaure Hostel again.
Had a fantastic stay here. It was my first time staying at a hostel, but from what I understand from my fellow guests the bar is set very high now. There is literally not one thing I can name wrong with the hostel or my stay there. Everything was very clean and tidy, staff was friendly, and every night there was a different fun activity. Ranging from karaoke night and game night to a drag queen show. But at any moment one could just take a seat with anyone or any group and instantly make new friends.
Although it was just one night that stayed, I wish it was more.. the place is so clean, organized, fun and the vibes are very nice.
The staff is fantastic and available all the time.
My only concern is that it felt cold at night in the room. Everything else in the room (bed, clean bathroom.. etc) is more than good!
I would love to come back for sure.
My experience at Yellowsquare was great. Statf was helpful, the atmosphere was engaging, and the vibe made people interact more. The only thing I would improve is making non-alcoholic options for activities.
Very good bed.quiet and convenient.
Really fun hostel that knows how to play host! Free pasta from 6:30-7:30 is an amazing idea along with having at least 2 social events a days. Staff was amazing and they had enough working so that nobody ever had to wait for reception or drinks, top notch!
I am happy I chose to stay at Yellow Square during my one-day visit to Milan. The hostel and facilities were excellent. I did not stay in the room much as I was mainly doing some sightseeing, however, I appreciate having the ensuite bathroom and the overall cleanliness. The staff was very friendly and helpful, too. Excellent experience, thank you!
I have chosen this hostel cause it didn’t have reviews about bedbugs, dirty shower and stealing. And it all was true. Very clean, safe and convenient.
I had a good stay at the hostel. The rooms are nice. Fortunately, my roommates were quiet and respectful. The bathroom could have been more cleaned and I’d have appreciated some curtains at the bed
I went to YellowSquare in Firenze in 2022, it was really great and I did not find this level in Roma unfortunately….
The staff is nice but rooms are old and especially : with no air renewal system! When you are sleeping in a dorm with 6 people and 1 bathroom, the air is unbreathable, really. And during the winter, you can let the windows open all the time to renew the air… Big negative point.
Also, the kitchen could be better equipated and cleaned, but I guess it’s difficult when guests don’t take care of things as I could saw it during my stay…
Everything was just amazing!
This hotel is the best of all I tried before. Excellent facilities, amazing reception, but besides that they gave free food, drink and even some special activities to meet other people. I enjoyed my time here and I am coming back one day.
I am an experienced World Traveler…
I Love to escape Las Vegas, NV. USA
to stay in one of the Private, quiet rooms at
Yellow Square, Rome! It’s Always a Great Time!
I love it!
Enjoyable stay
Reasonable price
Easy to meet other travellers
Good facilities
Great time.
The location was excellent, nerar Termini station and close from downtown. The staff was kind and there’s silence even when people stay up late. The room was freezing so we asked for 2 extra blankets.
Private room was really small, but to be expected. Bed was pretty clean, except throw pillows had stains. Bathroom had a mildewy smell and shower had stronger smell with hard water stains on floor that were brown. Towel rack heater didn’t work. Heat generally wouldn’t go above a certain temperature (19 degrees) in my room which caused me to get really sick. No late checkout options, even if desire to pay for a later checkout, so had to be out by 10. Staff came and knocked on door at 9:35 as if to ensure guests would be out by 10, which I thought was annoying. People at the bar and reception were nice, but overall, I didn’t really enjoy my stay this time. So many guests co-working in the main areas coughing without masks or anything so that also contributes to spread of germs. Would not stay again this time of year.
Everything was perfect, except the bathroom for my (4 person room), it’s appearance was outdated and felt old.
But do not get me wrong, practically speaking it did the work.
Thank you for the amazing stay I had at Yellowsquare! The place is really close to the metro station and its atmosphere is beautiful! I was able to made some friends there that were really kind and funny. I’ll be back for sure 🙂
