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.
I loved how they stored your bags for free before check in time, and offered lockers for 1 euro after check out. They also let me back in my room after check out to get my chapstick (which they definitely didn’t have to do). They had a lot of activities going on too, which looked cool but I didn’t actually participate (busy schedule).
Downsides: there was no free towel and no lock on the locker (bring your own)
The infrastructure in the hostel overall was good.
Unfortunately there was a club night, which made it impossible to sleep in my room due to the music.
Hostel was a bit pricey however it was well and truly worth it and I had booked last minute. The hostel is new and modern and the cleanest hostel I’ve stayed in. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the rooftop bar and pool is a bonus. Plus everybody gets a free beer coupon and 20% off drinks. Was also only a 20 minute walk into the city which was fine.
Really great atmosphere, pool was amazing, lots of activities and encouragement to get involved. Hostel was very clean and functional and staff were amazing
Lovely stay at YellowSquare. The hostel was clean and stayed clean throughout the day. Helpful staff and amazing service from all of them. My bed was comfortable
The hostel was very nice, modern, and social. I found it a bit hard to meet people because it was so big but nevertheless it was a very nice place
I must say this accommodation where we stayed was really nice, they were clean and tidy and very close to tram stations i can recommend this to anyone coming to Italy
Our stay in Florence was wonderful and we can’t wait to come back! The facilities are amazing and unlike any other hostel. The only downfall is that it is a little bit out of the way, but you’re so close to the tram it really doesn’t matter. Coming back ASAP!!
Everything was great, the room was very clean and comfortable, the staff was helpful, the events were lots of fun
The facilités are great, the staff IS really nice, the hostel is near the tram so you get to the centre easily
Perfect!
I don’t use tumble dryers to dry my clothes – I air dry. It would help if there were a place outside where I could hang my laundry to dry but not in direct sunlight.
You could get me to DJ and then your music policy would be improved =;-p
Every little detail in this hostel has been considered. Great value for money and had the best experiences within the hostel.
The room and bathroom were clean. It is a good location from the bus stop but can be a far walk from things like the academia gallery. The activates with other guests are fun. The room lockers need a personal lock and do not lock with your keycard.
The atmosphere at the hostel was incredible, with the bar, the free drink to make people get together. It was organized and client oriented, all the infrastructure was perfect with lockers, plugs, towels.
Thanks for everything, you made my stay in Firenze beautiful !
Sanitary conditions could be improved, especially the quilts!
It was such a great atmosphere. The staff felt like friends and were helpful all time. Its very modern and clean. The hostel offers everything you need – a great bar, a club, activities, a rooftop pool, a well sorted community kitchen. There are a lot of food options nearby.
Its a 20 min walk to the city center, but there is a tram station 2 min away.
Nice stay as always in a yellowsquare hostel. Good facilities, friendly staff.
I had a great first experience in a hostel. The location, facilities, staff& activities were all top notch! I can definitely recommend this hostel to everyone!
This hostel has an excellent localization, a lot a activities to do at night, free welcome drink.
Loved the overall accommodations and friendliness of the staff. There was a camera in the all female dorm bathroom, which is highly inappropriate and none of us had prior warning it would be in there. Doesn’t cover the toilet or shower stalls, but still very inappropriate when that is a room women change clothes in. Almost slipped onto the floor because I was wearing socks climbing down the bunk ladder. Had to either go barefoot or wear shoes to climb up and down safely. It’s a 15 minute walk from the train station, and the oath to get to the hostel isn’t good for rolling luggage. It’s a minimum 15 minute walk to get to the main part of the city, and about 25 minutes to get to the Uffizi. Wear comfortable shoes if you aren’t going to use the bus to get back and forth.
Great rooms and a perfect lounging atmosphere
Good, clean hostel with opportunity to engage in a lot of activities. Handy to have breakfast opportunities especially before heading off on day tours.
Really clean, nice facilities, events and a rooftop pool! Felt more like I was on holiday than anywhere else I’ve stayed
Meeting good people and having a good time in YellowSquare !
Nice place to the meet and make new friends, provided with a comfortable ambiance.
This was one of the best hostels I’ve ever been to. The rooms are well thought-out, comfortable, and clean, and the common spaces have everything needed for a great stay. The atmosphere was incredible and very social, and I had no trouble making new friends here! It is only a 20 minute walk from the center or a short tram ride away. Definitely recommend staying here!
it really made my trip to florence. first time going solo, staff were so lovely , im quite a disorganised person so stuff went a bit wrong sometimes, but the staff were always so lovely and helpful all the times. the hostel was so social and it was so easy to make friends here. made really good friends with a few solo travellers that were also staying here. If you’re ever in florence, undoubtedly this is the best hostel to stay. lovely people and great location (very close to a tram stop so getting into florence city was so easy)
Nice staff, clean rooms, good variation of activities. I had a great time and really enjoyed staying here (:
Nice hostel but location was not great and the pool was freezing cold even at the hottest time of day
It was very easy to ger connected to other people in the hostel, because the staff did events every evening and the connections to other people just built naturally. The food and drinks were very good and i like the pool a lot.
Felt so safe here, vibes immaculate (lol)
I stayed 3 nights at YellowSquare Venice in a 4 female dorm and it’s a pretty good hostel. Not immediately close to the Central Station, but there is tram very often for the city center, so that’s not a problem. The hostel is clean, has a good infrastructure and activities every night and the staff is really very attentive and helpful. It’s not the best ever, but it worth the money.
thanks for all support provided
The hostel is amazing with a great vibe and great events.
