YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

“To everyone at YellowSquare Hostel, thank you for creating such a magical and vibrant place. It feels like stepping into a beautiful cartoon—truly a masterpiece. Grateful for the unforgettable experience!”

This property was amazing! Just perfect! Recommend 100%. Super clean and organized. Everything perfect, staff super polite and friendly.”
I would love to back here again

My stay was mostly okay, staff was friendly and kind. Bed was quite comfortable and had no problems with the roommates. Only problems were that the room would not get warm, all of us were sleeping with three layers of clothing on and it was still cold. The other issue was, while the door for the shower was succesful at keeping the water in, the wall between the shower and the toilet was not and the whole bathroom would get flooded thru the toilet door and the water would even reach the room. Other than that no problems!

I stayed there for 2 nights and I highly recommend it to all who want to experience a hostel in Florence , the whole place was very clean and staff are friendly and warm, every night they have different events plus free pasta and beer , the price is reasonable for travellers and backpackers

Excellent and very clean

20min walk to the city center and train station. The building has elevator, room is pretty big and clean, there’s enough space to store luggage, the toilet is pretty equipped as well. But the metal bed causes noise once you move a little bit and the heating in the room seems not working properly.

I had a really nice time in Yellow Square Florence. The staff is really kind and does everything to make you feel good. The hostel is clean and has all the necessary services. I recommand to stay there.

Good location and very clean place.

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was super friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The common areas were clean and cozy, with plenty of space to relax or meet other travelers. The dorms were comfortable and well-kept, with personal lockers and good quality bedding. I also appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the well-equipped kitchen, which made it easy to cook meals. The location was perfect, within walking distance of major attractions and public transportation. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting the area, and I will definitely stay here again on my next trip!

Made so many new friends felt like home, loved the events and the spaces and the rooms were very new as well 🙂

The reception and staff are welcoming.
The activities organized by the hostel are well-thought-out and amusing.
Rooms are clean and the other guests were considerate and polite.

Very cool place, so cheap, and the rooms are very comfortable

It is the best hostel I ever stayed . Even it is not in the really center but I think this hostel deserved the 10 for what they have done.
The room is clean daily so it is very clean . Bathroom in the room is perfect and I had no issue as I booked 4-bed room
The kitchen has all you need to cook and clean as well
The staffs are so helpful . They helped everything I asked for!

Everything was clean and tidy.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming.
It’s worth every penny spent.

Thank you

One of those hostels that makes itself appealing to young travelers by hosting lots of activities and keeping things alive in the common area. Good rooms with nice beds, bathrooms are nice – showers are ok. Location is not too far off of the city center by walking or transit and is conveniently next to the main train station in Florence. Would recommend!

It was such a good experience! The environment was amazing and the people were so nice!

This was my first solo trip at a hostel for one night and it was a pleasure. The staff is super friendly and at the quiz at 9 I made some new friends. Also the room was very clean and the bed good. That’s for the great experience!

Very nice 👍👍👍 Hostel.

It was really great, there are so many free activities, free pasta every day, in the evening everyone is in a party mood. Everyone is very nice and you can easily find connection. The only two problems I had were that the beds do not have curtains and that it is a min 30 min walking distance to the centre

Overall a good experience, the rooms were clean and the hospitality was great. Only the check in process was long and the bathroom floor had some hair stuck on over places, could have been looked over before.

Its always a pleasure to come back to this hostel. I was staying there when I went to Milan and the experience was awesome. In Florencia it was the same. Great staff, great acommodation and environment!

One of the best hostels I have stayed at! Free pasta every night, lots of events to meet people! Location right near tram and fruit and small groccery shop and coffee shop, proper groccery store about 7 min walk away ! Great beds! Bathroom with every room! Decent kitchen a little stuffy in there but was chill ! Free drink on arrival you can use for any kind of alcohol or non alcohol drink! Felt safe ! Good experience !

Fun place near the city center. Lost of spaces to enjoy. Games and pasta night are good too. Do recommend it!

The place is really close to everything: touristic and historical places, tram and train stations and supermarkets. They have a very warm and helpful staff which are ready every time to answer any question regarding the hostal and the city.

Great modern hostel within walking distance of the train station and the city center. I would especially like to note that the hostel is kept clean and tidy. There is safe access to the rooms and kitchen using an electronic key. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and even some free products. Every day there are some entertainment events and in general there is a cheerful atmosphere. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The girl from Poland who checked me in immediately cheered me up. It was amazing. My room (111) was on the 1st floor. On the one hand, this is very convenient. On the other hand, the music from the club downstairs was audible. But I always used earplugs, so I could sleep. The blanket was very thin. I folded it in half and I did not feel cold. But for a tall person, a folded blanket would be short. There is a safe next to each bed. There are lockers in the room for a backpack or suitcase. But to lock the locker you need a padlock (I had my own). It is a pity that I did not try the free pasta, as I did not understand how I could do this. It is very convenient that the hostel has a bar. The only drawback is that there was no hot water in the hygienic shower in the toilet. I told the cleaning lady about it and she promised to pass my question to the reception, but hot water did not appear. Overall, the impressions of the hostel are positive. I would recommend it to all travelers.

Friendly soaces, lot of things to do. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Gentle staff.

Everybode was kind and tried to help me.
Heart warming welcome.
Good vibes of staff and guests.
For me as celiaca a kitchen makes life a lot easier.
Gorgeos view from rooftop terrace, quiet place.
For Firenze competitive drink prices 😇.
Divers bathrooms 🌈
Well organized.

I stayed two nights at Yellowsquare in Florence. It was a chilly November evening in Italy, and the blankets provided were extremely thin, almost like a sheet of paper. I woke up several times the first night because of the cold. The next morning, I requested an extra blanket at the front desk, but it was still very cold. Unsurprisingly, I caught a cold on the day I left Florence, which affected my travel in Rome as I felt unwell. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t choose Yellowsquare again.

loved this hostel! favourite one i have stayed in so far. the beds were super private, lockers were a really good size and it was super clean. the atmosphere was great with the bar and the club downstairs. had a great party on halloween. only issues were trying to use the luggage storage at check out as there is only one machine and it took a very long time to get through the line and that there were only 2 washers/dryers for such a big hostel. other than that i absolutely loved it!

The accommodation was clean, activities were held, and the employees were very friendly to me! I liked the interior of the hostel as well.

Very good experience when you come alone , the staff is very nice and welcoming.

Overall it was good. I can’t complain about anything. I would definitely choose this place for the next time.

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice activities. Very clean. Nice swimming pool and view from the roof. Nice iniciative to give free pasta and one drink

I had a really good experience definitely one of the best hostels I ever stayed great. Facilities and great staff
