YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

Zalig hostel, uniek met zen rooftop pool in hartje Firenze! Happy hour, free pasta,… All worth it !

Awesome conditions
Events
Nice staff and guests
Close to train station

I really liked my expérience at yellow square florence, the place made me feel like i was on vacation and it felt accessible to meet other young travelers and make friends, the food is great and the service too.

Clean, located right next to transportation for easy access to city. Lots of events each day for guests and very polite/helpful staff. Easily the best hostel I’ve been to with great price. The food and drinks were also good prices and the pool was clean and nice.

Was all perfect, lovely staff, nice games, good drinks. However, there should be some towels available at the pool and the privacy courtains could be advertised more proactively.

Such a fun and social hostel with a lot of activities and great common spaces!

Must stay for Florence

This place is great if you’re 18-24. As a 26-year-old I felt like everyone was younger than me – I didn’t feel out of place but I felt like everyone was around 21 and I wasn’t going to meet many people my age that I would really gel with. Other than that, it’s brilliant – clean, great facilities, lovely staff, rooftop pool is amazing. It’s nice that you get free pasta every night but the pasta is very basic.

Great vibes, friendly staff, nice food & drinks & last but not least lovely rooftop with pool!

I have stayed at Yellowsquare in Milan and Rome but I would say the Florence one was the best. It was clean and new like the one in Milan with the social vibes and amenities of the one in Rome. Location was pretty good, not far from a tram station that takes you directly into the centre. I thought the club would be a problem but you couldn’t hear anything from my 1st floor room. Free pasta is the best thing to happen to me .. helpful staff, good quiz night, easy laundry although a bit expensive. Only thing was the shower leaked everywhere but I guess there’s always got to be something going wrong in a hostel!

Had a wonderful time thanks to the people I met. I feel thats down to the social atmosphere that the team created.

Great that there is free Pasta! Good to have Safes, but the AC doesn’t work inside the rooms.

So many good people great staff cleanses 10/10 and that’s a lot coming from me because I have severe ocd when it comes to hygiene just all veautiful

Great People and much fun
If u think about it
Just book it☝️

Our stay at the hostel was great. The staff was excellent, and the activities and environment were fun and perfect for meeting people.

I got some allergic symptomes in my bed that became worst each night. According to my searches on Google, I had allergies about dust mites. It was my first time. It says on google that humid and hot rooms are places where dust mites go, in the mattress and the pillows. This was the case of my room, also with a bathroom with no fan. I asked to change de sheets and pillow, but it didn’t help. I didn’t sleep at all for my 3nd night. I had to go get some medication in the morning. But, other than that, I liked the pool and the view on top of the hostel. Staff was very nice and events were a grate way to meet other travellers. Breakfast was good too. Thanks for the vegererian options. Also the cooking class was nice. I would recommand!

I really appreciated the hostel : clean, nice, lots of things to do, lots of options…
Nice place 🙂

Everythibg was great: amazing people, amazing atmosphere, very clean and organised! Absolutely loved it!

Everything was set up well and kept clean and tidy. The social activities are great to meet other people in the hostel too.

I’d recommend 100%! Very clean and safe! I liked the people I was sharing the room with.

Overall great, safe, clean, and comfortable. Nice staff, okay location a small walk to the city or bus/ metro which is 10 minutes away

Great staff, great vibe and lots of fun – will be back

Thanks to Paulina and Nathalie! They’re the best!!

The price is right for the beauty of the premises, although the hostel is far from the center. The outdoor terrace and rooftop are great, although the noise from the big road below is unpleasant (but that’s how it is).

The common areas and rooms are pleasantly clean. On the other hand, the kitchen (especially the tables) is often dirty, but it’s the travelers who aren’t very respectful, it’s not the hostel’s fault.

I had a great experience at YellowSquare hostel! So nice environment! Good location! 2 minutes from a metro station that goes directly to the airport and the city center! Every night, they had a special event: karaoke, quiz, cook classes. They also have free pasta every night for dinner! I ate pesto, which was delicious!
Please be aware that they charge you a city fee. I had to pay 16€ for the 3 nights I spent there. There are also no towels in the rooms, and if you don’t label your food very carefully, they throw it away daily.
The terrace with the swimming pool is super cool!

The set-up of the hostel is Amazing. The reception is also a bar in a café-ish situation. There’s a swimmingpool at the rooftop. The beds are good. The overall vibe between people, I love the diversity in staff, they are open, helpful, sweet and they really made the hostel to be honest.

Best hostel I’ve been at! Great socializing, young crowd, always something to do!

This was the first hostel I ever stayed in as a solo traveller so I was very nervous when it came to talking to new people. But everyone was so lovely and friendly. All the staff were happy to help at all times. The bar was amazing for coffees and drinks. So incredibly clean and you get a good amount of privacy in your rooms. The girls I had in my room were some of the nicest girls I’ve met. Same to be said about all the other people I met too! Highly highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back, miss it too much x

Perfect hostel for young solo travelers. Easy to meet people. Good atmosphere

It was so clean and everybody were so nice and helping!
I loved it!

It’s perfect for young people, everyday events are great, employees are friendly. Only thing I’d change, in some way washing machine is too expensive and big (I’d like to wash things every 2-3 days, and it would be almost empty…), so it would be better to add some solution. Another point to improve is beep sound of safe, maybe it can be disabled? And dishes in the kitchen in some way dirty, but that more question to people who stay in hostel.

Anyway experience is great I’d recommend to all this place!

This is an honest review of my experience with Yellow Square Florence hostel. The hostel is very well organized and the staff is really sweet and helpful. The F&B is affordable and the venue has various amenities and community building activities. The only disadvantage is that it is located near the airport so you need to travel a good 40 mins to reach the center and explore.

Really nice hostel, both parents (52 years) and kids 18 (years) loved this place. Nice activites. Great restaurant and also the rooms where to eat your own food. Roof top pool with a great view.
We arrived with car and really appreciated the parking garage.

Good place to stay. Downstairs bar and common area is very nice and provides good atmosphere to meet people and make friends. Rooms are spacious but bathrooms are a bit cramped and could be cleaner. Roms have secure lockers to store belongings. Staff are very friendly.

Facilities A1, Community A1 – can’t ask for more. Activities every night, free food, reasonably priced bar – the staff set the tone to this place.

YES

Yellow square in Florence was very welcoming. It was a great relaxed and friendly environment for solo travels and being able to talk to new people. I loved the activities they had set up every day and night, e.g run club, drinking games, getting to know people activities. The hostel itself was clean and organized. Would definitely recommend!

Immediately, staff was kind. They seem to enjoy each other and have fun, and you can feel it.
The common spaces are inviting, fun, and social. A space that feels dedicated to meeting new cool people.
Rooms are clean and well maintained daily.
Bar is stocked and drinks are yummy and very reasonably priced.
I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to have a great time travelling.

I loved my overall experience. The cleaning staff would clean our dorm everyday punctually. The washrooms were equipped with all necessities and I specifically liked that they had a hand held water bidet. The rooms were also sufficiently sound proof to prevent parties from bothering you. There are two things which can be improved though . Firstly, there should be a mat on the bathroom entrance to prevent the whole room from getting wet and dirty (because the washbasin was v narrow which caused water to collect on the bathroom floor) and secondly, I wish the staff could also help with navigating the city. For example I could not figure out the regional train system and where my trenatilia pass works but the staff said they didn’t know either. I also noticed that the pamphlets didn’t have a lot of info.
