YellowSquare Reviews: Florence
YellowSquare Florence provides female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms. We have an easy working space in the shared areas where you can grab a coffee and work at the tables before or after check-in. For daily activities and food, Barmezzo has a restaurant and events every day like karaoke, quizzes, and beerpong. Bargiu is where the cool events happen featuring live music, dj sets and stand-up comedy that brings together locals and travelers. During the summer, you can head up to Barsu, our rooftop pool bar where social parties take place with a view.
Love the option of the privacy curtain. Staff was very nice, the bathroom as clean and so was the room. Appreciate the lockers as well and the option to lock them.
I enjoyed my days in the hostel. The only thing I did not know was that the lockers do not have locks so I had to buy one on the city. The location is perfect, well comunicated to the city centre, train station and the airport.
The Hostel is very good, it has good location, and the staff has a good customer service.
So clean, amazing staff, best hostel I’ve ever stayed in
It’s like a 4 star hotel
I love the events there, so you meet a lot of new people and have fun. The cleanliness is also very good, which is something also important in most of hostels where it’s dirty. And it’s quite close to the city center by tram just 2 stops or if you have the chance to go for a running from the hostel, you’d be surprised how close we are from the main places
Dynamic, cheerful, lot of space both for leisure and work, nice food, wonderful stuff
i loved it here
We had a fantastic stay. The place is clean and has all the required facilities such as a cafe, rooftop pool, laundry room and a storage area. The staff is also very helpful and nice. I will definitely be staying here again and will also recommend it to other people.
We had booked the room for 1 night and were to move to a different hotel due to non availability at the time of booking, it was our honeymoon and no ‘better’ rooms than the private ones are available so an upgrade was refused however upon checkin we asked the receptionist is the room nice as it’s a special occasion we were straight away told we are sold out so this is all you can have. The room was one level below the reception. The room and bathroom was dusty we cleaned the towel rack woh tissue and it was black with dust, there was extreme noise of music past midnight disturbing the ones who are not using the dorms or are students which was very inconvenient as it seemed like the hotel catered to mostly the crowd of students. The rooms have no sound proof as well. If guests haven’t booked the dorms and you claim to be a hotel room basic amenities should be provided toothbrush and water or instant coffee not a machine, like the rooms doesn’t have a cupboard or a tv, if I book a dorm and that’s the style of the hotel then it’s fine but for guests with private rooms it is not the best. The ladies serving breakfasts and coffee were nice.
Good facilities and friendly staff. Great layout, and a cool nightclub area. Water pressure for the shower was a quite low but you work with it. A little bit of a walk to the station and the main square but it is fine for the most part. Definitely worth a stay.
The accommodation was very clean and complete with more than the stuff necessary to make your staying as comfy as possible.
The place was very beautiful the pool was clean and nice.
Very near by the main tram stop.
We had breakfast included and honestly was very good and complete!
Staff was super helpful and nice.
All facilities that one might need were present, the location was good and the staff was excellent
Great staff and place
Nice place, nice people, good venue
Really one of the best hostels ive been on europe
Terrific hostel in every aspect!
I was so happy with the hostel itself, everything was taken care of to provide smooth service for a lot of beds and bring people together with sociable events. The free drink was a great touch, and the cafe was nice for breakfast.
The only thing that really disappointed me was the staff inability to help me book a wine tour. J had started asking when I made the booking.and got nothing, I then asked 4 different staff members individually and still got nothing.
I couldn’t work out if it was the hostel policy to not advise on tours or just wasn’t willing to help.
I had such a short time in Florence and paid more to stay in the private room of the hostel because I have utter faith in hostel staff always going above and beyond to recommend anything other than “get your guide”. The answers were always “I’m not from here” “I’m new here” “try get your guide” and it just took away from the overall time I had in Florence.
I would far rather the hostel selle the tour and make commission than not allow me to do the tour.
Very good experience! Super nice people, felt very welcome and safe. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The theme evenings were a hit. I will for sure be recommending!
This is a great place to stay where you can meet others drink and party, the beds are fine and they have so much to offer. It’s not far from the main section of Florence and staff will help as much as they can.
Good experience with this hostel.
The only thing is that it is loud on Saturdays in some rooms because of the party in the entrance area. And there was only a little pressure of water in the shower. But all in all it was a totally good stay.
The hostel is amazing. The only thing is not good is localization. For the centrum is 30 minutes walking
The hostel was amazing, everything was clean, excellent staff and activities, breakfast quite enough and good. I really star here again and recommend it.
Placed in room 101 right next to the bar. People screaming laughing and drinking into 3am. Bar music 3am. Could not sleep
This only the second hostel to stay in and was impressed at how organized and accommodating they were.
A lot of space in the rooms.
The first floor common area is specious and clean. The staff was upbeat and helpful.
The roof deck and pool was an added bonus.
Its ouer first experience with yellow hostel. We came as familiy with to youngsters (16 and 19). The atmosphare ist very friendly and all the people are respectful.
Very clean, friendly, good vibe
The friendliness place I have stayed in for a while. The staff were highly inclusive and the events they organized in the evenings were great for solo travelers to connect and make some traveling friends! The room was very clean and quiet. Loved the coffee in the morning too at a great price!
This location had the coolest vibes! We played Pictionary the first night and met some great people. Bar and kitchen was delicious. Rooms were clean, pillows maybe a little flat. But otherwise 10/10 would stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Facilities were very good, loved the bar and specially the rooftop terrace. Rooms were also good. Easy to meet people and lots of activities to do!
The staff is really friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and lively in the lobby.
The kitchen is well equipped the rooms are nice. It was really easy to connect to other guests and I felt very “at home”
The events for folks to take part in and the volunteers and staff are absolutely amazing. There’s no shortage of people to talk to and the environment absolutely encourages it
I overall enjoyed my stay. It was clean and comfortable, though the first night it was a bit too loud too late into the night for me. It was a pleasant stay with friendly staff and even a free drink, which was nice. I forgot a couple things after checking out though, and while the staff was friendly and said they checked for my missing items when I emailed them, I have a feeling they either didn’t actually check or someone took my things, as they said they couldn’t find them, which was a big bummer. Other than that it was a pretty decent value.
The location is very good, close enough to the center but also remote enough to relax. The Hostel was very clean and well maintained. There were several events and the pool on the rooftop was perfect to cool down a bit in the afternoon. Also there was free pasta everyday for dinner, I didn’t came to try it but I think it’s very nice to offer.
