YellowSquare Reviews: Florence
YellowSquare Florence provides female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms. We have an easy working space in the shared areas where you can grab a coffee and work at the tables before or after check-in. For daily activities and food, Barmezzo has a restaurant and events every day like karaoke, quizzes, and beerpong. Bargiu is where the cool events happen featuring live music, dj sets and stand-up comedy that brings together locals and travelers. During the summer, you can head up to Barsu, our rooftop pool bar where social parties take place with a view.
From arrival to departure everything was great, the activities planned for the guests were such a nice touch, everyone was so open and friendly and YellowSquare have created a safe environment where everyone can feel comfortable, which is not an easy thing to do. Everything was also so clean and the food was really nice!
Really enjoyed staying at this hostel 🙂 Staff are really friendly and Cleanliness is 10/10. It was a bit further out from the centre of Florence but it wasn’t an issue for me as it has very good transport links and it’s only a 20 mins (slow) walk to the centre.
love the environment here
Nice social hostel we you can meet fellow travelers. Location is fine, although a bit far from the historic centre. Only real downside was that my dorm only had one bathroom for 6 people. This is not that big of a problem as there were other bathrooms at the hostel
The perfect way to enjoy Florence. The pool saw many hours of sitting in the sun chilling, socialising and partying. Wouldn’t have been the same without that. The pool was a great place to meet some amazing people. Breakfast was lovely. The facilities and dorms left no complaints. Had a brilliant time
Brilliant hostel! Great location and walking diastase to everything. The staff are wonderful and very helpful! The perks of a rooftop pool and peaceful outside area is a great bonus. One of the best hostel I’ve stayed in. Great activities too. Can’t wait to return
Very good place to stay in. Everything was fine apart of the noise in the corridors just in front of the rooms after 11pm when we wanted to sleep no matter whether it was Saturday, Monday or Tuesday.
People woke me up at 3 pm twice. They were shouting in the early morning hours.
The hostel should put the signs in the corridors “Please keep the noise down from 10pm until 7am because many are sleeping”.
The facilities were clean, the staff was helpful, it was well located, lots of cool social events, it had a great vibe
Everything was literally perfect I have nothing to says
A very beautiful environment, well located with all the services we could hope for. The team is charming and helpful, the lunches are fabulous! Thank you for your warm welcome to our group of 18 who were delighted.
Great accommodations and amenities. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Free pasta in the evenings- nice for those travellers on a budget.
Only thing I didn’t like what motion sensor lights in the dorms. When people came in late a bright light would come on, not great if you’re still trying to fall asleep.

One of the nicest hostels I stayed in during my month-long trip. Nice bathrooms, laundry on-site was very convenient and having events at the hostel made it really easy to meet people. Only downside is that it is a good 25 minute walk to the city center however there is a tram right across the street which is very helpful.
The hostel is nicely designed. There are daily special events. Clean environment with super nice staffs! An enjoyable night at the bar!
This is the best hostel I’ve stayed in! It was super clean, conveniently located near the tram, offered a myriad of social activities, had A/C & the most amazing breakfast potatoes!!
Staff were so friendly, bar and atmosphere were great. The hostel itself is clean and well presented and has plenty of activities and outdoor space and seating. The roof pool is a great addition too!
I really enjoyed my stay here! As for basics: beds are comfy, enough space for your stuff and a lockerbox at the bed. But what makes this hostel great is the activities and the rooftop area. I loved the pasta cooking class and the pubquiz night. Also met so many fun people at the rooftop pool! It’s clean, fun and really cannot recommend more.
This was one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The property is very clean and modern and has an upper deck pool that overlooks all of Florence. The staff were great to interact with and the food/drinks were good as well. The only thing I’d change is allowing guests of private rooms the ability to manage the room temp as our room got a bit hot/stuffy at times.
Everything was very well organized. I felt very welcome and there were lots of activities one could choose from. Obviously, there were mostly young people but even as an older person I didn’t feel out of place. I welcomed the possibility to have a curtain in fron of my bed, have a safe and a locker. It is also very conveniently located.
The hostel is cool and the staff are really nice… but the structure could be improven. In my experience, the major problem is that the beds do not have any kind of isolation, like curtains,for example, so the privacy is not really good and also if you are a person that wakes up easily with noise and light, your sleep will not be the best.
Another point that I have to write about it, is the cleanliness… it’s not that good. The floor of the shower area was not nicely clean and everytime someone tooks a shower, all the bathromm floor remained wet, because didn’t have any kind of vedation.
Anyway, the size of the rooms was good, the atmosphere was nice and they have a lot of events that will help you meet people, so if you are traveling alone, that’s pretty nice.
I loved the hostel. I think the pasta class should get more attention because that was awesome!
YellowSquare Florence is the absolute best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Great vibe and good community! I will be back!
The place was clean and the service was amazing. Everyone was so kind.
I waited to write my review since this was my first stay at a hostel and it honestly was above and beyond everywhere else I stayed on my trip. The rooms were comfortable and spacious and cleaned daily. The rooftop pool and bar were such fun amenities, and there was also a changing room available to me before I could check in which was so nice after a long day of travel. I had 2 folks help me at registration and I don’t know their names but they were both so sweet and helpful, and honestly all the staff I encountered were super kind. The atmosphere was also super fun in the common spaces it was so easy to meet people. The location is also perfect it’s so close to the tram and a short walk to the city and train station!
Lots of organised activities made it easy for a solo traveller to meet people. The on-site coffee and pastries was a great touch, and really good value.
Everything from the interior design to the staff to the many many activities were so pleasant. Everything was very clean. The staff was so welcoming. The atmosphere all the way through our stay was so nice. We really enjoyed our time here.
Its a nice place, the room was clean and with good space.
I had such a wonderful time at YellowSquare Florence! The atmosphere was lovely and I met such incredible people. All of the staff are super helpful + friendly and I really loved all of the planned social events. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the shared areas are well looked after and the rooftop pool is an incredible addition!!
Of course the location in beautiful Florence just ties everything together to create such a great stay.
I loved it so much that within days of leaving I booked to come back. Looking forward to staying again ❤️
