YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

A little expensive but VERY fun and conveniently located place to stay. The pool was great in the summer heat.

Can’t get over how nice the staff are here! The Hostel is so clean and gorgeous aswell, and the pool does not disappoint. Shoutout to Laurie, Juliette, and Thomas! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Florence

My favourite hostel yet. Staff are amazing, facilities are amazing, clean, spacious rooms, great vibes

This hostel was perfect for our stay in Florence. It is just a 2 minute walk to the tram that takes you to the city centre and train station. The room was clean and supplied towels and soap. The facilities were great, with a rooftop bar and pool, cafe, and many free events going on. The staff were all super friendly and helpful with everything we need. Would recommend for young travellers.

Hostel was clean and quiet. AC worked very well.

It was so nice to be welcomed this kindly ! The rooftop swimming pool really improved our experience as well as the nice patio and the great quality of their food and drinking service !

The hostel was great, good location, great facilities, lovely people. Can’t recommend it enough.

I had such a good time here. The facilities are top, the bars and the pool were great, and the staff were so sweet, welcoming and helpful. I thought the location would be worse than it was. Theres a tram super nearby, and if you’re not carrying a ton of luggage you can walk to the city. I was impressed by the restaurants nearby the hostel.

Staff were incredible and all so lovely, we did the karaoke in the bar and had an amazing time, the breakfast options in the morning were so cheap but incredible! Highly recommend

It was so great! Everyone very kind!

Yellowsquare is an amazing place to go as a solo traveler because of how open everyone is to making new friends. My favorite activity’s were the mixology class taught by Johnny, the arts and crafts and the Karaoke. In addition to being an amazing place solo traveling it is also very welcoming to larger groups too! Definitely my favorite hostel so far.

– clean and tidy private room
– shower was terrible, very slow water pressure
– breakfast very average
– pool and pool side bar nice, but terrible music played by the hostel manager
– location was ok
– staff were nice but could have been more professional
– asked staff not to clean my room during the day but they did it anyway

The hostel is very fun and lively. I enjoyed the breakfast, the beds were comfy and clean, there was a fun night life, great outdoor and indoor seating areas, and the staff were super friendly. However, there seemed to be bit of a mosquito problem as 2 members of my party had to be moved out of their original room due to being excessively bitten (the staff was very nice about this), as well as the shower smelled like urine. Overall this hostel felt very safe and I would definitely check out the other Yellow Square Hostels in different cities!

Really great hostel experience. Beds were great/ clean rooms and bathroom. The staff was so welcoming and nice. Also the people I met were all friendly and we ended up all hanging out with each other.
Love the free first drink. Lobby and outdoor seating was comfortable and perfect place to relax after traveling.
Bad things: I do wish it were in the city center. It can be a long walk back at night.
One night the mosquitoes were soooo bad in one of the rooms I stayed in. I couldnt sleep. I ended up changing rooms where this wasn’t a problem.
Pool could be cleaner

The building is new and very modern with all sorts of amenities and activities for the guests.
The staff is VERY VERY nice and helpful and we feel connected with them.

All in all a good hostel. There should be more bathrooms, WCs and showers

Great place

Definitely the nicest and coolest hostel I’ve ever been at, the people were great workers and just other hostel goers which was nice

I don’t think that having a club in the same building is ideal. I stayed two night and barely sleep both nights. The first night there was karaoke night and second day I can feel and hear the club music from bottom floor.
Very nice atmosphere and facility but not a good place for a good sleep.

Staff was super welcoming. The place had so many qualities, the pool, activities, nice bar and restaurant, great location. Felt clean and provided with necessities!

I really enjoyed the awesome look of the hostel. The food and drinks were very good. And the atmosphere was great as well.

Loved my stay at Yellow Square! Very social hostel and the rooftop pool was fantastic. Rooms were clean AB’s air conditioned. Staff were super helpful – would definitely stay again!

Nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Rooftop pool with a beautiful view. Staff was very friendly and helpful

Overall a great time, met many great people and had a lot of fun! Was mostly comfortable but had a few issues with some of the staff. When I expressed discomfort with being coerced into buying alcohol when I did not want it I was told that it was all a joke and that I needed to get over it. When my friend asked about it too she was given a similar response. I was approached later by the same staff member who told me to tell my friend that she was being dramatic and aggressive and needed to back off. They also did not do much to help when a friend was stranded with a dead phone and could not get back on her own. While they told me the part of the city she was in wasn’t great they did not do anything beyond inform me that no taxi services were available, did not provide any alternative solutions. Apart from these interactions I had no other issues with my stay

Perfect

Pretty hot in the rooms, no control of AC.

I was traveling by myself and had a Great experience at this hostel.
The place is beautiful, the people are awesome and they have a lot of activities to do.
The rooms are super confortable and the beds as well.
Totally recommend this place.
It’s a little far from the main atractivos of Florence, but it’s just a 10/15 minutes walk.
There is a bar and food to order at the hostel at a super convenient price.
I would totally come back!!

The staff was very friendly and the room was nice. Towel was provided for a small fee (1 euro) and you get a free reusable bag and ear plugs.The hostel had a good atmosphere and you could make friends with people from all backgrounds.

Yellow square Florence was very accommodating and in close location to the city center! The staff was readily available for any questions all the time!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Yellowsquare. It did not start in the best possible way as my credit card wasn’t being read and they made me pay in cash. As a tourist, you carry very limited cash so it was stressful. But after that incident, it was smooth sailing. The rooms were nice, the roommates better. The room had lockers for our bags and also a small locker by the bed. As an Indian, I was also thankful for the jet spray in the washroom 🙂 There were some event every evening though I couldn’t attend most of them as I was in the city. Overall an extremely nice experience.

Was happy with everything except because of the lack of public transport, it was dangerous to be having to walk so far from the nightlife back home. Strongly recommend providing a ride home from the clubs at 4am so that your young females staying don’t feel unsafe. If the hostel is going to be so far from town, and it being a youth hostel full stop, there needs to be a safe journey home. And not for some crazy price either considering the price of the hostel is steep.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful! There’s lots of activities.

The hostel is only a few minutes away from the tram station. The building is new and the interior design is really nice. There’s a lift and a pool. My room (4 beds) was spacious. The lockers were big enough. The free luggage storage was great.

Unfortunately my room was very dirty. Dirty sheets, dirty bathroom (didn’t look like it was properly cleaned in a while). I got a dirty sheet and a duvet without a clean duvet cover.
It was really loud at night (lots of other guests partying in other rooms).

There were no mosquito nets on the windows so my room was filled with mosquito at night (thanks to a roommate who left the windows open).

Beautiful facilities, super friendly staff, fun and engaging group activities. The rooms are comfy and spacious, the rooftop pool was beautiful and the bar area was so welcoming. I had an amazing stay here.

A great place to stay, good vibe and clean.

Just a comment about the price: I find it a bit unethical that women must pay more for female-only dorms. I understand that it might be a bit more complicated logistically, but we shouldn’t have to have the financial weight of being scared to stay with men in our dorms. Just a thought, but I know your hostel is not the only one to do this.
