YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

One of the best travelling experiences I’ve had ever, met lovely people everywhere, pool was a nice touch and the free pasta was wonderful

Amazing place to stay and meet people. Rooms were clean, spacious and had good air conditioning. Vibes were high and easy to meet people with friendly staff and many activities to join

We changed our booking to yellow square last minute purely because it had a pool and kitchen as I other one didn’t but once we got to the hostel we were blown away. Pool area is amazing and super social. Rooms are clean, big and have amazing AC. Bar has great food and drinks at a really reasonable price for Italy. We met some amazing people which could have been pure luck but the layout of the hostel you literally cannot not meet awesome people. The free pasta is good for backpacking as it fills your belly and then you can go into town and get something smaller. Also we loved that the bar put ice in our water bottles which we have never had at a hostel. The fact every person has a safe on their bunk is really cool. The hostel was so fun that we barely explored the city as the hostel was so cool which is bad but that’s how much we loved it. We loved yellow square so much that we stayed in the Rome one after Florence and were again blown away. The staff are also so friendly and fun. Genuinely the best hostel I have ever stayed at and will hopefully be back and recommend to anyone who is going to Florence.

It was very clean and there were a lot of free activities you were able to participate in. Also loved how easy it made it to connect with people!

Yellowsquare Florence had the right amount of socialising and amenities. The rooftop pool was perfect in the heat, everyone was friendly and chatty and the sleeping arrangements were comfortable. I wish I had stayed more than one night.

The room was well prepared, a own safe and a big locker (for my big bag) made it easy to arrive.

I liked the different Events to Connect each other. My only wish in this point: Be proactive, ask people, if they want to join.

Breakfast was great especially the fresh Barista coffee.

Amazing hostel with friendly people, great pool and amazing karaoke night! I loved it!

thanks for the nice stay, everything was perfect. I loved the architecture, the rooms (we had an own terrace), the roof top pool, really nice activities, lovely stuf,

Nice place, people are kind and accessible.

I stayed in a girls’ dormitory for 6 people. The room was big and good. The beds and lockers were also good. The bathroom was clean. The common areas in the hostel were great. The rooftop and the garden were really good and there were many activities.

YellowSquare was a great hostel. Has a solo women traveling, I felt so safe and it was very clean. The staff was very nice and fun. It’s a fun hostel with many activities and opportunities to make new friends and have a good time. Thank you to everyone there!

Had a great time in Florence because YellowSquare had everything I needed. Appreciated the standing lockers, free bodywash, and the regular cleaning. The events also seemed nice although I didn’t get time to attend. I was in a dorm with other solo travelers and we hung out together! Only small drawback is the location, we had to walk a bit to get to the city center. But it was clear before I booked.

Was an amazing hostel to stay in amenities were great and staff were super helpful

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.

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

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☝️

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

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.

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

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

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!
