YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

This hostel is probably one of the best I have stayed in. If you are looking for a social hostel which will allow you to meet great people, this is the place! The free pasta and bar were my favorite part! I would definitely stay again if I were to go back to Florence!

Loved the environment and decorations. Everything was very clean and staff was nice as well. Drinks were a little expensive compared to other hostels I’ve been in but food was well priced!

Was great, surprisingly equipped and clean.

The price I paid was very reasonable and will likely return again soon!

It was a great experience I met some great people and had a lot of fun!

This was my first solo hostel experience and it was great! Everything was clean, decorated nicely and staff was so friendly. Lots of activities for travelers. Downstairs was lovely but my room was quiet. Only downside was the location- the loud street wasn’t awesome and it was a bit of a walk to central Florence, but that’s not anything yellowsquare can really do anything about. And it was fine- I just got a lot of steps in:) welcome drink and free pasta dinner were awesome perks! Would definitely recommend.

Probably the best hostel I ever stayed in. Super clean, super sweet staff and the food was also great! Will be coming back if I have the chance to ☺️

We had so much fun. Great environment and clean.

I really appreciated how Yellowsquare felt like a community filled with likeminded travelers who want to connect. I especially loved the lobby area, and enjoyed getting food and drink from there. It was the perfect place to cowork with others or have fun during game night.

The place was great I had a good time, but it is very clear the target of the place is basically kids (teens and 20s)

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The staff were super friendly and happy to help, the bed was very comfortable and clean. It’s one of the nicest hostels I have stayed in, and I can highly recommend it. A big plus for organizing extra activities and for the free welcoming drink!

They didn’t the pool cuz of rain. No thunderstorms tho ugh. Guy that check me in was a sweetheart super welcoming & warm. He was flexible and made me feel @ home. On the downside lots of first time travelers but hey sweet location.

The environment of the hostel was fun, energetic and clean. However, the room was spacious, peaceful and comfortable. Overall everything was great. I had an amazing time socializing and meeting new people at the bar.

I had a very good experience overall, although I didn´t spend a lot of time at the hostal because I only had one day to enjoy Florence.

Hello,
I booked the spot in a four bed room, i knew it wasn’t going to be quiet but it was litteraly in the bar, we can hear all the party. I realised i made a mistake, and asked for a refund of at least one of the three nights i payed. (i slept one night, understood it was too short to cancel the second one, but was hoping for the third). I ve been told no. The food was really bad and not cheap, no towels, only one really thin duvet in winter, and the spot is pretty far from the center. Youth hostel is not necessary a club med experience for students, felt like spring break in florence…. The only good thing were the really friendly, nice employees, good luck to them.

Great place

My experience there was great! I’m looking forward to coming back in the summer to enjoy the rooftop.

The building is gorgeous and the rooftop is sweet! I had a great time and met great people at the handful of activities they plan. It was a fun social environment and breakfast was also great. The appetizers were cheap and I really enjoyed my entire stay.

I highly recommend staying at YellowSquare if you are staying in Florence! One of the nicest, and cleanest hostels I’ve stayed at. I love how the hostel offers activities to do everyday at hostel. It’s also not too far of a walk from City Centre, or you can take the tram that is right down the street that will get you to the City Centre as well. The train station is also only a 10 minute walk away.

What can I day about this hostel! Such a fun, organized, well put together hostel. It’s also in a great location. Right across from the tram, so it’s so easy to get around. The staff were phenomenal. They were so helpful whenever I needed it. The vibe of the hostel is warm and inviting and I would 100% recommend it for anyone looking to stay in Florence.

Great place for a great price! The rooms and bathrooms were all really clean and super cute as well. All of the staff was lovely. The free dinner was yummy and there were good food options for purchasing too. Would def recommend!

The room was really nice, as the hostel. It was clean, and with everything we could need.

Amazing! I only stayed for a night, but it was lovely. Free welcome drink and the bar and the espresso and breakfast was great in the morning. The room was nicer than a lot of hotels I’ve stayed in. They had spacious storage lockers in the room and even bigger ones to rent for €1 downstairs.

The hostel waa nice and very social, but in my room the bathroom had no lock, total lack of privacy and very uncomfortable

the hostel had everything you need and was very clean and nice

will be back

This hostel was amazing and exceeded my expectations, however there was a certain smell, like rotten eggs, that would come and go through the main area at night. It could have been the sewer, as I smelled it around town too.

It was an amazing experience to stay at yellowsquare I didn’t think it was possible to meet so many inspiring people in such a short time.

There was only one little thing that bothered me, it was super cold in the rooms. And the duvets where not warm enough so I already was wearing a lot of clothes to sleep but it was still very cold.

Very friendly and helpful staff, the hostel is modern and clean, my friend and I had a good time!

Nice

this was my first ever hostel experience as a young girl solo traveler and i had such an amazing time! so clean and safe, the staff was so welcoming & they always have fun activities to meet other travelers! truly a beautiful place and i was able to meet the most amazing people from around the world 🙂 i stayed in an all girls room and met the sweetest girls and felt so comfortable and safe. definitely recommend for a solo traveler or any young girls! 🤍

It was a really good experiencia, the hostel has a nice environment, beds are confortable, staff is helpful, it is close to a Subway station and Remini. Very recommended!

Very attentive and super friendly. Kind throughout our stay. Really recommended. We liked the kitchen with all the necessary materials to make a good meal. Clean and despite all the meetings that were held it was very quite.

It was ok. Just the bathroom inside the rooms was a bit bad because makes more noise.

Amazing staff and facilities, perks. Great cleanliness for a hostel, stylish interior and overall very good value!

Great place, safe, full of colour, confortable and cheap bar 🙂
I recommand going on the rooftop, it is everything :))

The hostel itself is fresh, clean and has all the facilities you could want and/or expect when it comes to having that european hostel experience.

My highlights are:
1. The short walk from the tram station (although the hostel is not central it is not remote)
2. The incorporated rooftop terrace, bar and kitchen with reasonable prices for bare sustenance and convenience
3. The daily room cleans and towel changes (private dorms)

The only fall back for us personally was the heavy, deafening bass on Friday and Saturday nights emanating from the club below us. Although the existence of the club is well publicised and the website even mentions requesting earplugs, i did not expect for the private 2 person dorm to be the room directly above the club. My suggestion would be that the large dorms be situated close to the club as they are the more likely to use it.
