YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

From the moment I arrived I felt welcome and comfortable. My room was spacious enough and my bed my was comfortable and private. My roommate’s were friendly and respectful. The location was fantastic, 20-30 minutes walk away from the main areas of Florence, or a 3 minute walk to the tram stop. The whole place was extremely clean and the staff were so kind and helpful and accommodating. I had a lot of fun on the occasional night where I chose to stay in the hostel environment rather than the city. I would definitely stay again!

Everything was great

Clean, friendly, beautiful hostel!

The property is a bit of a maze but it’s very nice, everything was clean and worked well. The only negative was that it’s a bit of a trek from the centre, but it’s not too bad. Thanks!

One of my favourite hostels! I was working and it was great! The roof top and garden are so nice when it’s sunny. It was so clean and the room was great. I was in a female 4 bed. The beds were so comfy and the bathroom was clean and modern

The hostel itself is really nice. The staff is friendly, they have a lot of fun activities, and I like that they have a cafe. Although I wasn’t able to sleep at all while I was there. I could hear the bass from the night club through the walls, so I only ended up getting 2-3 hours of sleep each night. The rooms were also very cold and I’d wake up with a sore throat every morning. There were also some weird stains on my comforter, so I didn’t use it. It also would’ve been nice if there were curtains on the bed, and there were no soap dishes in the shower which was very inconvenient.

We had so much fun at this hostel. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Pretty clean and really good food. Movie night and free pasta were really nice.

Thank you for your perfect combination of hospitality, care taking, front desk service and very friendly staff, room offer and special conditions, beer and pasta, the good energy in your house and that you treated me like I’m 20 even if I’m 60! If you ever open a place for people 50+ I would like to stay longer, to find a date in my age

Comfortable, clean and welcoming

Everything is clean, nice staff that are here for you, nothing to say on the price either, you can go there with your eyes closed and have a great time!

Really tidy facilities, great location, awesome staff, lovely people, lots of fun activities and the breakfast was gorgeous and delicious. Best breakfast i’ve had in a while for a really great price. Many thanks!

Love the option of the privacy curtain. Staff was very nice, the bathroom as clean and so was the room. Appreciate the lockers as well and the option to lock them.

I enjoyed my days in the hostel. The only thing I did not know was that the lockers do not have locks so I had to buy one on the city. The location is perfect, well comunicated to the city centre, train station and the airport.

So clean, amazing staff, best hostel I’ve ever stayed in

It’s like a 4 star hotel

The Hostel is very good, it has good location, and the staff has a good customer service.

I love the events there, so you meet a lot of new people and have fun. The cleanliness is also very good, which is something also important in most of hostels where it’s dirty. And it’s quite close to the city center by tram just 2 stops or if you have the chance to go for a running from the hostel, you’d be surprised how close we are from the main places

Dynamic, cheerful, lot of space both for leisure and work, nice food, wonderful stuff

i loved it here

We had a fantastic stay. The place is clean and has all the required facilities such as a cafe, rooftop pool, laundry room and a storage area. The staff is also very helpful and nice. I will definitely be staying here again and will also recommend it to other people.

We had booked the room for 1 night and were to move to a different hotel due to non availability at the time of booking, it was our honeymoon and no ‘better’ rooms than the private ones are available so an upgrade was refused however upon checkin we asked the receptionist is the room nice as it’s a special occasion we were straight away told we are sold out so this is all you can have. The room was one level below the reception. The room and bathroom was dusty we cleaned the towel rack woh tissue and it was black with dust, there was extreme noise of music past midnight disturbing the ones who are not using the dorms or are students which was very inconvenient as it seemed like the hotel catered to mostly the crowd of students. The rooms have no sound proof as well. If guests haven’t booked the dorms and you claim to be a hotel room basic amenities should be provided toothbrush and water or instant coffee not a machine, like the rooms doesn’t have a cupboard or a tv, if I book a dorm and that’s the style of the hotel then it’s fine but for guests with private rooms it is not the best. The ladies serving breakfasts and coffee were nice.

Good facilities and friendly staff. Great layout, and a cool nightclub area. Water pressure for the shower was a quite low but you work with it. A little bit of a walk to the station and the main square but it is fine for the most part. Definitely worth a stay.

The accommodation was very clean and complete with more than the stuff necessary to make your staying as comfy as possible.

The place was very beautiful the pool was clean and nice.

Very near by the main tram stop.

We had breakfast included and honestly was very good and complete!

Staff was super helpful and nice.

All facilities that one might need were present, the location was good and the staff was excellent

Great staff and place

Nice place, nice people, good venue
Really one of the best hostels ive been on europe

Terrific hostel in every aspect!

I was so happy with the hostel itself, everything was taken care of to provide smooth service for a lot of beds and bring people together with sociable events. The free drink was a great touch, and the cafe was nice for breakfast.
The only thing that really disappointed me was the staff inability to help me book a wine tour. J had started asking when I made the booking.and got nothing, I then asked 4 different staff members individually and still got nothing.
I couldn’t work out if it was the hostel policy to not advise on tours or just wasn’t willing to help.
I had such a short time in Florence and paid more to stay in the private room of the hostel because I have utter faith in hostel staff always going above and beyond to recommend anything other than “get your guide”. The answers were always “I’m not from here” “I’m new here” “try get your guide” and it just took away from the overall time I had in Florence.
I would far rather the hostel selle the tour and make commission than not allow me to do the tour.

Very good experience! Super nice people, felt very welcome and safe. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The theme evenings were a hit. I will for sure be recommending!

This is a great place to stay where you can meet others drink and party, the beds are fine and they have so much to offer. It’s not far from the main section of Florence and staff will help as much as they can.

Good experience with this hostel.
The only thing is that it is loud on Saturdays in some rooms because of the party in the entrance area. And there was only a little pressure of water in the shower. But all in all it was a totally good stay.

The hostel is amazing. The only thing is not good is localization. For the centrum is 30 minutes walking

The hostel was amazing, everything was clean, excellent staff and activities, breakfast quite enough and good. I really star here again and recommend it.

Placed in room 101 right next to the bar. People screaming laughing and drinking into 3am. Bar music 3am. Could not sleep
