YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

This is the best hostel I’ve stayed in! It was super clean, conveniently located near the tram, offered a myriad of social activities, had A/C & the most amazing breakfast potatoes!!

Staff were so friendly, bar and atmosphere were great. The hostel itself is clean and well presented and has plenty of activities and outdoor space and seating. The roof pool is a great addition too!

I really enjoyed my stay here! As for basics: beds are comfy, enough space for your stuff and a lockerbox at the bed. But what makes this hostel great is the activities and the rooftop area. I loved the pasta cooking class and the pubquiz night. Also met so many fun people at the rooftop pool! It’s clean, fun and really cannot recommend more.

This was one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The property is very clean and modern and has an upper deck pool that overlooks all of Florence. The staff were great to interact with and the food/drinks were good as well. The only thing I’d change is allowing guests of private rooms the ability to manage the room temp as our room got a bit hot/stuffy at times.

Everything was very well organized. I felt very welcome and there were lots of activities one could choose from. Obviously, there were mostly young people but even as an older person I didn’t feel out of place. I welcomed the possibility to have a curtain in fron of my bed, have a safe and a locker. It is also very conveniently located.

The hostel is cool and the staff are really nice… but the structure could be improven. In my experience, the major problem is that the beds do not have any kind of isolation, like curtains,for example, so the privacy is not really good and also if you are a person that wakes up easily with noise and light, your sleep will not be the best.
Another point that I have to write about it, is the cleanliness… it’s not that good. The floor of the shower area was not nicely clean and everytime someone tooks a shower, all the bathromm floor remained wet, because didn’t have any kind of vedation.
Anyway, the size of the rooms was good, the atmosphere was nice and they have a lot of events that will help you meet people, so if you are traveling alone, that’s pretty nice.

I loved the hostel. I think the pasta class should get more attention because that was awesome!

YellowSquare Florence is the absolute best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Great vibe and good community! I will be back!

The place was clean and the service was amazing. Everyone was so kind.

I waited to write my review since this was my first stay at a hostel and it honestly was above and beyond everywhere else I stayed on my trip. The rooms were comfortable and spacious and cleaned daily. The rooftop pool and bar were such fun amenities, and there was also a changing room available to me before I could check in which was so nice after a long day of travel. I had 2 folks help me at registration and I don’t know their names but they were both so sweet and helpful, and honestly all the staff I encountered were super kind. The atmosphere was also super fun in the common spaces it was so easy to meet people. The location is also perfect it’s so close to the tram and a short walk to the city and train station!

Lots of organised activities made it easy for a solo traveller to meet people. The on-site coffee and pastries was a great touch, and really good value.

Everything from the interior design to the staff to the many many activities were so pleasant. Everything was very clean. The staff was so welcoming. The atmosphere all the way through our stay was so nice. We really enjoyed our time here.

Its a nice place, the room was clean and with good space.

I had such a wonderful time at YellowSquare Florence! The atmosphere was lovely and I met such incredible people. All of the staff are super helpful + friendly and I really loved all of the planned social events. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the shared areas are well looked after and the rooftop pool is an incredible addition!!
Of course the location in beautiful Florence just ties everything together to create such a great stay.
I loved it so much that within days of leaving I booked to come back. Looking forward to staying again ❤️

Amazing experience. Staff lovely! Lots of free food! Thank you

The staff were very welcoming and the accommodation was clean and situated in a great residential area with all the attractions within walking distance, highly recommended.

I stayed in Florence for a couple days and it was sooo good!!
Absolutely loved yellow square, Monica and Ahmad were sooo kind.
Definitely would go back!

Great staff and atmosphere

Great hostel with amazing staff and atmosphere. Very social. Only down sides are: bit of a walk from town center, no privacy curtains, lockers are quite small.

This was my first time staying at a hostel and I was rather dubious at first. After my stay here I am now converted! There was an incredible atmosphere at YellowSquare, the staff were friendly, the amenities were plentiful and there was some great events put on too!

Absolutely recommend it!!

I didn’t have a good experience. I stayed for two nights (April 25th and 26th). Both nights, the person sleeping in the top bunk (Room 105, Bed 5) had another person with them who not only stayed but also got up several times to vomit and use the bathroom. It’s a large hostel, and anyone can come and go, which means they don’t have control over these things. The reception staff were friendly, and the hostel was clean, but these kinds of situations make you feel unsafe and ruin the stay.

Comfortable stay!

stop the loud bass on the main floor. people on the second floor hear it til 1130pm every night. sorry, we are not here to play games, we want to see things in Florence and so get sleep so we can do so. just turn the music down, it’s really that simple. also, pool is very cold, seems not heated, that should be advertised.

also, no outside alcohol? ahh…is that written somewhere before we sign up? we are not children, and are allowed to do what we want in our own room. and are you going through my bag of stuff in the public fridge? I can keep what I want in there, and I don’t even believe it’s legal for you to say what I can and cannot have..again, we need transparency from you here.

Overall, my stay was good. The staffs were welcoming at the reception and the rooms are clean.

I travelled to Florence alone, and with the cost of hotel rooms soaring I chose instead to rent a private room at Yellowsquare; it was one of the best decisions of my trip. The staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and inviting; the hostel was clean, hip, and lively without being “too-much” in any way.

There was a feeling of being in a college dorm in the best way possible—bright, exuberant people around at all times but not suffocating, just living their lives parallel to yours. The food at the hostel was underrated (try the Yellow Caesar or the Schiaccata Paesana) and the communal spaces tranquil and relaxed.

I will definitely be staying here and sending friends here when circumstance brings any of us to Florence, and will check out their other locations as well.

We had a great time at this hostel. The beds were comfy, the place was clean. The staff was nice!

This was an absolutely amazing hostel. I find hostels have started becoming a little pricier compared to when I started using them, so I think it’s important that they have activities available and discounts, etc and Yellowsquare def pulls through on all aspects. They even have a free pasta dinner every night. Very impressive. I wish it would have been warm enough to e joy the rooftop pool.

My niece is going to love her hand painted souvenir!! X

This was the first time I had stayed in a hostel and I couldn’t have been more lucky with YellowSquare Florence, the staff were amazing, so welcoming and friendly. The free pasta was a great perk and I made lots of friends in the common area spaces.

I really liked my stay at YellowSquare in Florence. The atmosphere was great, the hostel had nice facilities, it was clean, the staff was really friendly and the organised activities were so nice as well. Especially the cooking class was something I really liked!

everybody wad really nice and everything was so clean! I didn’t stay long but I would have liked it

Great hostel, very clean, kind staff, good activities,
I would very much recommend this hostel to anyone going to Florence 🙂

We like it very much!!!

All was perfect
