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 really top! great service, the guys are super helpful and super fast in answering questions via whatsapp. everything was super clean and modern! i booked one night and stay for three bc it was perfect! the location is also great!
Horrible
The prices are great, every day are new activities and events if you feel like it.
It’s not too far from the city center and the staff is incredibly nice & helpful.
It was such a nice atmosphere and you get to know so many people, I loved it!
Traveling as two people who have never been to a hostel, and only had mediocre experiences respectively. YellowSquare Milano completely changed this for us as it was alot more than just a place to sleep. We were met instantly with smiling faces from both the staff and fellow travelers. After check-in we joined a table of strangers, and quickly got to know each other over a beer, and one of the many events the hostel hosts. After two nights in Milano, we decided to book YellowSquare in Rome for our next stay, instead of a hotel as we had originally planned.
So the sheer amount of accommodation and the experiences you get from your stay, makes it totally worth it in our opinion. 🙂
Literally had the best time ever! Staff was super friendly, the events were LOTS of fun, I met so many amazing friends, the room was really clean and overall it‘s a super modern hostel. Will for sure be back!! The pool was also one of my favourite things about it! Great for socialising:)
i liked the engaging into activities that were held every night. Good kitchen, clean rooms and bathrooms.
Best Hostel for socializing and the staff is very helpful
The hostel was amazing! It has a pool, a clean and modern kitchen area, many common spaces to work / talk, a rooftop bar, cheap drinks, every room has its own bathroom and the beds have enough space to plug your phone/store everything you need at night. Just amazing!
The stay was super good. The room was really good equipped. Also the bed was so comfortable and everything overall was perfect. Really good hostel. And the free pasta???? PERFECT. Thank you.
Overall was good- beds were clean, nice atmosphere and fun activities, but toilet flooded after showers and stayed wet and there was no bin in the toilet only
under the sink which wasn’t ideal as I needed to dispose of menstrual products. Staff were friendly and helpful and the basement club was good fun.
Had some of the most fun in the 2 months ive been in europe!!!! Lovely staff, lots of activities and great way to meet other travellers! Free pasta every night was a life saver for the wallet and my stomach! Only wish the club downstairs was open a few nights a week more! Highly recommend staying here
Very nice staff and the bar area were also very nice to hang out and I liked events a lot
I loved your bar, terrace, tennis table, smiling staff, automatic washing machines, pool… I really want to come back, just to stay in the hostel!!!
Most fun I’ve ever had in my life. Staff were amazing too.
The most perfect hostel! Such a lively, social atmosphere. The rooms + facilitates were spotless. There are so many amenities, game tables, chill out spots and even their own bar! The bar was so social, such a great spot for meeting new people. Also lots of organised events. Slightly out of the way for visiting the heart of Rome, but it was such a good experience that it didn’t matter.
I had the worst experience in this place.
Great social hostel
Very clean and tidy. Staff are at the reception 24/7 and can help with literally any request you might have. Shoutout to Laura, the sweetest and kindest receptionist.
When I checked in there was an issue with my booking which it wasn’t even my fault! They asked me to stay and talking with each other in a foreign language and every time I asked what’s going on she was so rude to me and shouting! I have also asked if I can get a dinner in the last minute and she said no! Totally it was terrible experience! I would never recommend this hostel!
The hostel was clean and well-maintained. The bunks had all the essential amenities for convenience. The staff was warm and welcoming. Good vibes all around.
I loved the pool and club especially because were there for the weekend, the availability to bars social life and experiences close to the city was perfect for us
I have stayed in many hostels in many European cities, but this one is the best. Yellowsquare Hostel placed me in an air-conditioned room with five other women my age who were all leaving on the same day. This was perfect and led to many great conversations and friendships. The room came with a bathroom and a large locker, which was appreciated. The free pasta was great. The rooftop pool was incredible. The happy hour drinks were amazing. The patio and frequent social activities were so fun. As a solo traveller on a budget, you dream for a hostel like Yellowsquare to help you make friends and see the city without spending a fortune. I will be back at Yellowsquare next time I am in Italy.
It’s the kind of hostel you never forget, I’m gonna come back there if I ever go back to Florence, everything was perfect, the hostel itself was really nice like clean and pretty, got a pool, staff was nice, people staying there were so nice too, I never made that much friends in a hostel, free pasta every night, really cheap drinks and a lot of activities ! Really I enjoyed it a lot, couldn’t recommend it more !
The hostel was very secure and felt safe. Everything was reasonably clean other than the bathrooms which were quite dirty and needed a good clean. It wasn’t a particularly social hostel but the overall vibes were good. The location was decent, not too far of a walk from most things and the bar across the street was a fun place to end the night.
Thanks all perfect 🫂🫶
Thanks a lot it was amazing experience
Overall a very solid hostel. Lots of activities going on for those who are looking for that type of thing.
The hostel is cute with lots of activities and friendly staff. The free pasta from 8-9pm everyday is amazing! The hostel was pretty full & areas like the pool were very crowded almost at all times. We had a 8 people mixed dorm and there was one small bathroom (not lockable) per dorm with small toilet and shower cabin. As a woman I felt like there was not a good spot to change. The cleanliness in the bathroom was not great and there was stuff lying everywhere from people that I believed weren’t even staying there anymore. The beds are metal so pretty loud but comfy.
Unfortunately we had some health issues during our trip and needed to change our booking last minute to a private room. The only room left at Yellowsquare would have been 140€/night. We decided to book a room at a hotel nearby for less than half the price. The Yellowsquare staff was friendly but not accomodating when we had to leave 2 nights before our original booking ended and made no effort in refunding even a small part of the price we paid, not even the tourist tax. I understand that technically Yellowsquare was in the right and it was our own fault for leaving but I would have appreciated a more accomodating guest experience especially for the price we paid.
The place has good foundation of how a child hostel can be.
The place is not clean. And air condition set at a fixed low of 23 degrees
Pool on the rooftop, night club on the last floor, staff was always helpful, nice beds, storage before check-in, amazing vibes. Rooms
I loved my stay at YellowSquare Firenze. Best hostel I have ever been to, so far.
– The rooms are well equipped and clean
– There is a rooftop pool and a sort of club (Bargiù), which are huge assets
– The atmosphere is super chill and friendly (staff and people) with lots of events organized (pool parties, karaoke nights etc)
– The place is not located far from the city center (20 minutes walk to get to the train station, and form there, 10 min to Duomo) and its location is appropriate to party (without disturbing neighbors).
I would recommend 100% this hostel. I am now heading to the one in Milano, hope it is as great as this one !
The best hostel I’ve been to in a long time. Super social, lots of activities, and the best part: the pool and the club.
Overall I would recommend this hostel. People were friendly and the staff was helpful. Of course the rooftop pool is a great bonus. I booked a mixed room of 6 and was a little annoyed to find my room was RIGHT next to reception and the bar. Not even 10 steps away. It was so loud at night when I was trying to sleep.
Super clean rooms, bed was practically already made, the shared kitchen had all of the supplies we needed (although a bit short on cutlery), and the bar was very nice!
My stay at yellowsquare florence was incredible, I loved the athmosphere, the activities organized… the room were really clean and comfortable.
I stayed in a women only dorm and it was super great, clean, spacious, it had everything you need. The staff from the hostel was really nice as well! The Yellow Bar was also a nice experience and I met many people there. Yet, one guy from the staff, Guzman, was drunk and was definitely taking advantage of his staff position (forcing people to drink for instance), which made me and my friends a bit uncomfortable.
It was a nice and clean hostel and the staff was nice. However, the ac didn’t work in the room I stayed in. Which was just not okay and then everytime it was told to the staff they kept saying we will look at it. But not once during my entire stay did they even come look at the ac. For the price I payed it should have worked. The activities were fun but it kinda seemed like it was hard to get people to join.
It was a comfortable stay, I enjoyed that each bed got their own personal safe, the pool is small but refreshing. Very loud at night, would not recommend if you have early mornings and need to get sleep before your day.
