YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

Going to this hostel was one of the best experiences I ever had. Being in a place close to the center while it is designed beautifully and clean is something rare.From the moment I got there the crew was extremely nice and always willing to help. They organized activities for us like karaoke night, a pool party and trivia night which helped meeting amazing friends for the journey and for life. Being there feels completely safe thanks to the fact that each individual has a locker, a safe box. The bathrooms are supper clean, the locks work perfectly and it is one per room so you have privacy.

If you like clubbing but don’t like walking at night then don’t worry because there is a club as well as a bar and even a community kitchen if you want to prepare your food. By the minute you get there you feel as if you’ve known the people for a while already, the vibes are great and you enjoy an amazing vacation thanks to the amazing crew who cares so much and the guests who are open for meeting people.

Amazing COstumer experience, everyone is really client focused, the room really good.

I loved my stay at the yellow in florence. One year ago i stayed in the yellow square in rome and when i saw there was one in florence i wanted to go there aswell. And it did not dissapoint. The new building was clean and the rooms were really nice and spacious. I loved the Rooftop terace and it was easy to meet new people considering the activities they had going on every day. I also really enjoyed the food options the offered.

I quite enjoyed my stay in the Florence Yellowsquare. It is definitely a place I would recommend to my friends who are thinking of visiting Florence. The location is close to the city centre either by tram or walking. The staff was friendly and helpful. You get to meet a lot of nice and interesting people in the communal spaces and events.

The best you can get for the price.

Facilities in general are OK.
Kitchen OK.
Staff needs to get more experience.

All great! breakfast, cleanliness, comfort of the bed, bathroom

Such a lovely hostel, everywhere is so clean and well maintained, staff are all so lovely and friendly. There are events each night so it’s easy to meet people and there’s even a night club downstairs!! The pool area is also lovely with a great view.

A very modern and tidy hostel. Good possibilities to get breakfast, lunch or dinner, join the events and have a drink at the bar. Food could be a bit cheaper. It’s a quite big hostel and the personal contact with the staff felt more distant and less personal.

Fantastic place to stay, very recommended

A great Hostel with great staff and good opportunities for getting to know funny new people from allover the world.

The shower drain was a big deal, I honestly can’t understand how stuff from the hostel did not take the issue a little bit more seriously… If the shower floods the room and soacks guests belonging you should know to take actions: change their room, issue a refund, call a plumber… Not just apologise and get the cleaners to do a very superficial cleaning… Some man who worked there even tried to blame me saying I must have kept my foot on the drain! Nonsense!

Also, carefu with stereotypes because some comments can sound xenophobic.

We had the best time, the staff were so friendly and helpful, the building is incredible, clean modern rooms, stunning view from the pool good range of activities to help you make friends and get to know the city, we would love to come back again!!

The rooms, the building, the staff, everything was awesome. This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Loved the rooftop pool, loved the activities, loved the parties. I can’t wait to stay at Yellowsquare again.

First hostel experience and loved it! Had a private room – spacious bathroom and comfortable beds. Loved the kitchen and outdoor area! They also put on events for the guests which was fun to meet others. Staff are super nice too! Would definitely recommend.

I couldnt fault anything. They went above and beyond. Everything was so clean and in great condition. Amazing amazing amazing.

Everything was great, beds are comfortable, clean, new, the staff is nice, good people

This was probably my best experience in a hostel.
The staff was amazingly warm chill and happy to serve you. The facilities looked brand new, very nice design and very clean. Many places to hang out. They organize social activities everyday. Very nice pool on the rooftop. The kitchen I didn’t use it but saw that it had enough capacity. They even have a party club. The rooms were amazing, very well designed, very good ventilation, the structure of the bunker beds were very stiff so they didn’t shake and there are lockers and safes. The beds were also very confy. The only not so good thing was that it is a bit boring to walk to the city center which is like 12 minutes away, but since you are very likely to make friends, you won’t have to walk them alone.

This is by far one of the best hostels I stayed in.
The maintenance was really good, staff super friendly and the building was excellent.
The pool is a GREAT add-on!

It was amazing ! Great people and rooms are comfortable there is a swimming pool on a rooftop with an amazing view of the city !
I recommend

We had a very good experience. The hostel was very clean and the pool very great. The Location was good.

We had a good time even tho when we arrived on Friday, tired from the journey, we were kinda shook to see 50 screaming Australiens at karaoke night next to our dorm in floor 1.
Without oropax we would never have been able to sleep.
Nevertheless the mood was overall good and connective and the party on Saturday was fun.
I really hope you improve the appearance of the zen garden and the terrace in the backyard. Right now there is no reason to be there. Add a lot of plats and some benches and tables and make it a place where you can go to learn or simply relax. We had to go to to a dark conference room to have some peace to learn. And a washing machine should be standard for a hostel in my opinion.
But breakfast was awesome and fair priced, beds with privacy sheets were good. Pool was nice.

this hostel was unreal it was very modern with very comfy beds, personal safe at each bed for ones personal belongings. offered us water on arrival and have free sanitary products available. rooftop pool was blessed and the wristband gives 20% off drinks which was sick. pastry and a coffee for €2.50 every morning was crazy too. would defo stay again and would recommend

Really enjoyed my stay at Yellosquare Florence! I thought the planned activities were really inclusive and enjoyable. Cleanliness was superb, drinks were fairly priced, pool was epic, and all the staff were lovely! I’ll be back xo

I love staying in this hostel! It was very clean, people came to clean the bathroom in our room every day which was very nice. The breakfast was amazing and delicious, we got a lot of food for the price we paid. The hostel offered a lot of social and wellbeing events, we went to the stretching class and really enjoyed it. The rooftop pool was also very enjoyable. The environment here is great along with the staff!

Such a great hostel, new and fresh with the best facilities, pool and club are definitely highlights. The staff were amazing and friendly, 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back!

the dorms were beautiful and clean, the pool and terrace was amazing! we liked the hostel events and just the hostel overall. only minus point: the bar was quite expensive especially the cocktails and we missed a few kitchen appliances

This was my first ever time staying at an hostel, and let me tell you it was one of the best experiences of my life. Stay here, you wont regret it! Plus the pool is just amazing!

I really enjoyed my stay. Although there was always some party going on I didn’t hear a thing staying on the second floor so that’s great for a good night sleep.
Neither the train station or the city center are quite near the hostel but it’s manageable using the train to the train station.

The hostel was clean, you had everything you need and you we felt safe

I was very impressed with Yellow Square. The rooftop pool was beautiful and made the place feel like a hotel. It was a nice place to have a chill sunset drink. The bar downstairs & upstairs made it easy to meet people- just get in line & chat while you’re waiting! The club downstairs made it easy to get to bed at night after having fun! I came in late one night when restaurants had all closed, but didn’t have to worry about food because the kitchen there was open. The only thing I will say is that our bathroom wasn’t cleaned thoroughly every day. Also, the shower water spilled onto the rest of the bathroom floor easily. Because of that, the floor was often wet.

The hostel is clean, organized, and new. All the staffs are welcoming and fluent in English. I have a comfortable stay in this hostel.

Had an amazing time at Yellowsquare Florence! Mixed dorm was super clean and spacious, breakfast was delicious. Staff were super friendly especially at the bar! Really enjoyed the organised activities like beer pong and karaoke as it was a great way to meet new people. Can’t wait to go back one day!

Amazing staff, clean and well located place. Met nice people.

YellowSquare is an excellent hostel. Clean, comfortable, well-equipped and with very friendly staff, I highly enjoyed my stay there. The hostel is new, and it shows. Everything works (not always the case in hostels!), and there are well thought-through inclusions, such as password-protected safes for every bed. The food and drink sold were very good (for hostel food – Florentine food should still be enjoyed above hostel food in general!), and the hostel’s environment was friendly, with plenty of space to meet people.

One mark gets taken off for location, which is a 20-30 minutes walk North of the city centre. The centre and South of the city are more enjoyable, though the distance isn’t too bad.

Everything was pretty much perfect. AC could have been a little colder, but other than that, everything was great. They even gave me a new lock free of charge. Highly recommend this place, especially for the low price (when I booked). Location is a little far away.
