YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

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

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

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

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.

I first met Yellow Square in Florence and came to Rome today and no hesitation I booked my place from Yellow House again, from staff to the rooms and the place itself everything was amazing. You’re doing an amazing job!

Thank you for all your offers and help. I enjoyed the stay

Yellowsquare offered an amazing stay! I became friends with all of the girls in my room and the hostel definetly offered many events to make sure everyone had the opportunity to get to know each other.

The staff made the place buzz every day with their events, the hostel itself was clean and safe too. The free pasta every night was good and brought everyone together. Beds were comfy and showers hot! Everyone was super respectful of privacy, one thing is to bring your own lock for your locker, it doesn’t come with a built on lock/code.

It is very well located, the hostel is very nice, clean. The staff is good. they make you feel welcome. they have many activities you can do with them,

Very nice rooms, lamp, socket and shelf above the bed, own toilet and bathroom, big lockers, own safe for every bed, free pasta every day, free welcome drink, rooftop pool with chairs and bar (I guess in summer), very nice and helpful staff, 15 min to the station. You can also get a second bedsheet as a curtain for your bed.

The best hostel place i have ever been to! beds are super comfy, stuff amazing, free welcoming drink and meal, love the people :))

My promo didn’t work at all and the price I paid on site was inconsistent (raised twice). Booked through link from email of you.

Fantastic hostel, good vibes and lots of activities organised by the team! Would 100% recommend this hostel to anyone coming to Florence!! Loved it!

In my experience, the hostel has a welcoming culture. The activities offered, the facilities, and the friendliness of its staff are designed to make you feel comfortable from the beginning. Thank you for your kindness! I will definitely look for you in other cities.

It was an amazing experience staying there, the rooms and beds were clean, the staff could speak well English and we’re super friendly. Also they had events every night which made this stay even more fun!

everything was clean and the staff was really friendly. There are a lot of events and you have privacy in the common rooms, because you can use extra beddings as curtains. It’s got everything you’d want. But there are a lot of people! The shower in our room had basically no water pressure but the showers an fourth floor were better.
Location is good, but you need 20-25 min to walk into the city centre

Everything was perfect! I’ve stayed in all 3 yellowsquares, and you guys are the best!

great start, fun activities, little bit far from the centre but that okay because it just vibes jou a nice walk around the city. we met so many nice people through the organised games and the club down is also very fun. also the free pasta was great

great, clean hostel! Loved the many community rooms/ chill areas as well as the free pasta!

I had such a great time! All the activities made it very easy to meet other travellers. I can’t wait to go back.

We booked a private room for one night in Florence and had a great time. It was nice to have food and cocktails, and there and lots of space to hang out inside and out. Would definitely go back.

The hostel was very nice everyone was friendly and there were a lot of great things to do. I didn’t come there to meet people this time so we it was a family visit so it was a little much but as a solo traveler it’s super easy to find friends there.

Overall, I had a great experience. My room was spacious, and I was lucky to share it with just one other girl. It was clean and conveniently located within a 10–15 minute walk from the train station. The staff was friendly, and they offered free pasta and drinks every afternoon. The breakfast was also delicious.

The only issue for me was the toilet, which I also reported to the receptionist. Every time we flushed, it made a strange gurgling noise that was so loud and disruptive we couldn’t sleep. I went to reception to have someone check it. But, of course, it was around 11 pm and there was no plumber around. So we asked the bartender. The thing is every time he came to the room, the noise stopped—so embarrassing! Hahaha. 😅😅 I’m pretty sure he thought we were making it up.

The next day, I showed him a video as proof, and I also shared it with the receptionist. I really hope you take action on this because it’s seriously disturbing. The room number was 010.

Other than that, everything was great, and I had no other issues. Thank you 😊

I had a very uncomplicated stay! Everything was clean and well taken care of, the staff is very helpful, a perfect backpacker friendly place!

The hostel was very organized and clean. The kitchen was very well equipped.
The common area was very cozy and the plans to meet other people were really cool.
Also, being able to leave your luggage before check-in time without any additional costs was great, allowing you to enjoy the city even more.

I only stayed for one night but it was pretty nice and welcoming – including the welcome drink being offered. The sheets were already on the bed and at least the people in the room I stayed in (female, four beds) were very respectful with sharing each other’s space. It was generally a little noisy as the walls aren’t the thickest and a cherry on top would have been curtains on the beds, but other than that I had a lovely stay and would come back anytime.

The food, the activities, the surrounding, the people, everything was just great!!

Everything was perfect, really good value. Only issue I could say is that water pressure its too weak

Wonderful!!! So clean, great services, best location ever (town and airport) and helpful staff.

I really liked the hostel and the staff was perfect at all times. Food was delicious and activities were very fun
