YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

It was good, I’d just change the bathrooms design bc it was kinda difficult to get dressed without getting wet after a shower

It was like everything ok

I absolutely loved my stay here it was perfect for what I needed one. The staff were great very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was very nice! Plenty of space to chill with others but also have places to be by yourself which I liked. The pool area and outside seating was gorgeous, loved that! Overall I had a wonderful experience!

The hostel was really well located near the center and the train station. Free pasta was made every day between 7 and 8 pm. But the quantity was not enough for everybody (despite two services). The beds came with curtains for privacy.
The hostel has a pool on the rooftop, don’t forget to bring a swimsuit 😉

I loved my stay, particularly the little events throughout the week which allowed us to meet people easily. I also loved the pool!!

It was a great place to stay. And there were great options for vibes/food/meeting people.

I just struggled when people entered into the room in early hours of the morning and when other guests decide to pack at 2am in the morning vacuum packing their plastic bags.

I know that is very difficult to control.

I think perhaps during the checkin process, there could be a quick questionnaire on the type of visitor you might be. And if possible match those to specific dorms.

For example:

A- I like to party and will be in the room late
B – I like to meet people but enjoy going to bed at a reasonable time
C- Please can I have a room as calm as possible.

Yellowsquare was well located, clean and social. The staff were lovely and the perks were amazing, such as free pasta, 20% off drinks and good deals during happy hour. There was multiple events per day which was great for when we weren’t too sure what to do. The only issue I had was with the showers, which had very poor water pressure and bad heat controls. Other than that, al was amazing.

I had the opportunity to stay 15 days at the Florence Hostel. It was the best experience! The staff were amazing! The event planning! My room was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this Hostel

This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Everybody – staff, volunteers and other guests are incredibly friendly. It’s so easy to meet new people, especially through the events that happen daily. Highlights are also the rooftop pool and the daily free pasta.

The hostel we stayed in, felt very safe and the common areas were fun and inviting. The free dinner during our first night of our day was great and I will be coming back! Would recommend to anyone.

I had a nice stay at Yellowsquare and meet so many nice people. The bar is good and the rooms are big too. The only thimg I really didn’t enjoy was the bathroom in my room. It was flooded all the time and the stuff didn’t really care about that problem. Also it was pretty small.

Unbelievable experience. Everyone was so kind, fun, and accommodating. Truly made me feel welcomed in my first hostel.

The stuffe members were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious. It could use a mini fridge.

We had so much fun staying here in Florence, and the rooms were clean, nice with a pool, great activities! We will come back again!

There were so many events going on from casual, socializing, to partying so the mix was absolutely amazing. Definitely the most social hostel I have ever stayed at as well. Couldn’t beat the environment!

I just loved my room and the hostel, in general.

The hostel is perfect. Very clean. Many activities. Generous with the pasta and the free food/drinks during the activities.

It was an incredible stay at the hostel. Everything was so clean, the staff was nice and the event plus the rooftop pool were excellent.

Just not what expected. The bed sheets were dirty – looked like chocolate. I put in the dorms just above the nightclub and so was awake into the early morning hearing the music. Also, the location isn’t great compared to other cheaper options – with a minimum of 20/25 minute walk to see any sights. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience but not worth the 1 night I stayed. Having a pool did make up for it.

YellowSquare Florence exceeded all my expectations! The hostel has fantastic facilities, including an awesome rooftop pool with a great vibe. Everything was super clean, and the room and bedsheets were very comfortable.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—I had an issue with my reservation, but the manager on duty was so welcoming, kept me updated, and sorted it out smoothly.
They also offer tons of entertainment, like karaoke night and theme parties, making it really easy to meet people. An absolutely amazing experience, highly recommended!

I enjoyed the stay in the YellowSquare hostel in Florence. The building looks refurbished and all new, the rooms have AC which is perfect during the hot months of summer in Italy. I had a room with four beds, the room was clean, I had a locker to put my suitcase and backpack in there. Also the bathroom was well equipped (body wash, shampoo, hair dryer). The activities that are planned along the week allow you to make new connections with people which is very nice. I loved the rooftop pool with a view of Florence.

Staff amazing, clean room everyday, thank you so much for this incredible experience

The hostel itself is very clean, big, and well taken care of. The bar serves the best drinks, and the events keep it a very lively and social atmosphere. It is a perfect spot if you are doing a solo trip!

This is my first solo trip to Europe. The staff at YellowSquare Florence are some of the kindest and most interesting people I’ve ever met in my life! I shared a room with four other girls & the facilities are extremely clean & comfortable! They have regular cleaning services come through. The location of the hostel is a short 20 minute walk to the city center.

Met great people at the pool that I spend the rest of my time with

I had such a good time at this hostel. All the people were nice, the free pasta is great and the rooms are soo good! I love how cozy barmezzo and the outside terrace are. The activities were also really fun and the rooftop pool is perfect during hot days. Everybody was so social and I will definitely be coming back to this hostel at some point!

Clean rooms and sanitary facilities. Very friendly staff. I had a medical emergency and they where super helpfull, told me what hospital to go to and called me a cap. (In the end the hospital had outsourced the department I needed, to another hospital but they couldn’t know that) On the end I had to check out 2 nights earlier bc. of said emergency and I qas promised a refund for both nights. Nice and coazy communal areas. Just the comunal kitchen and some rooms are in the subterrain and therefore laking a bit of natural light even though they all have windows.
Overall a very nice hostal. Perfect for solo travelers.

Staff were lovely and very helpful, room was great for 4 of us for a few nights, location great, and a lovely atmosphere in communal parts. We’re a family of 4 with 2 teens and although we didn’t see anyone else our age we were made to feel very welcome and never out of place, thanks for having us.

Overall I enjoyed my stay here the rooms were spacious and I liked the on suite especially it having a separated shower and loo. I had a balcony which was an added bonus. The pool was really nice and the staff were all really helpful and lovely.

I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The vibes were immaculate. Everything was clean and comfortable and staff were friendly.

Just a really nice atmosphere, plenty to do in the hostel itself with events organised by staff who are so nice. City centre is about 30 mins by bus or walking which is honestly fine, bus stop is easily accessible and for the quality of the hostel it’s worth it. The breakfast is lovely and free pasta in evening even better. Also the rooftop pool is class

I was surprised by the amount of space and the facilities, especially in the 6-bed female dorm. It was one of the most comfortable hostel stays I’ve had, and I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a hostel. The atmosphere was social, the free pasta was a great bonus, and although it’s a little outside the city centre, it’s easy to get there by tram or a 15-minute walk.

Amazing hostel with great facilities and activities. Super-friendly staff.

Great staff, rooms are very clean ! It was my second time here and I’ll gladly come back a third

It is a little expensive, but that’s normal for Florence. The hostel is so friendly, accommodating of all languages, and it’s a great place for a first time hostel stay. There are lots of activities in the hostel if you want to meet people, but it’s also very peaceful in the rooms if you want to chill out on your own. I had a nap in the garden on my own too! I would really recommend if you want something easy for your trip. Also, if you are an anxious traveller or are worried about cleanliness, this place is cleaner than most hotels, and there are lots of bathrooms that aren’t in your rooms if you are worried about the queue for the toilet

Will go back to that place again when I travel in Europe in near future.

I had low expectaions for hostels in general. But you have raised them. Private bathroom, staff thats helpful social area activities everything was just right. Never have I though ehmm this is missing. Hell you even give shampoo for free. That brings me to food. Having cooked pasta with sauce every evening and in the kitchen other atiff really saved me. I will definetely comeback. Only the water qas problem. Why wasnt it cold? But I mean it wasnt cold anywhere in Florence

The staff were super friendly and helpful. Facilities were excellent and dorm clean and very comfortable. The food served here was delicious also.

Friendly staff, very big building, lots of events:)

Clean and comfortable room, good breakfast options. Staff were friendly and helpful.
