YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

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

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.

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

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.

9/10

overall great experience

Our stay in Yellowsquare marked the end of our long trip. Before our stay, we were all ready to go home and our stay in our previous accomodation certainly did not help our experience. Yellowsquare felt like a “gift from god”. The room was affordable, clean, organised, and everything fell in place, the staff was friendly and efficient, the lobby and shared space was inviting, and the luggage room was convenient to say the least. If we ever Milan or Rome, we will definitely be staying at your accomodation. Thank you for hostpitality 😀

I liked a lot the hostel, it had everything my friends and I needed. We felt comfortable and had fun.

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.

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean, met nice roommates. Most of all, it was safe.

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.

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.

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!
