YellowSquare Reviews
YellowSquare is more than a hostel; it’s an international community designed for travelers who want to connect, work, and hang out. Across our locations in Italy and Greece, we provide female-only dorms, shared dorms, and private ensuite rooms, alongside working spaces and daily activities. Definitely not a boring hostel. From working over a coffee to evening events in our venues, we create a active atmosphere where locals and travelers meet and make friends. Every YellowSquare is a gateway to the city, focused on social vibes and the right place to meet people.
Nice, well-designed spaces with lots of coworking areas. The first floor is open all night and has good social vibes. Kitchen area was social, and there are many activities. Staff were friendly and helpful — even lent me supplies to fix a zipper.
Downsides: wifi was weak, the gym had no weights, and the kitchen and rooftop close too early. It can also get chilly at night.
Good, central location. The area has some abandoned buildings but felt safe. Bonus: lots of resident cats.
We are a family of four and felt very welcome at Yellowsquare. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of energy and advice which we loved.
Everything was good, I enjoyed my stay. I didn’t like how water from the shower door would drip onto the common area floor. I wish towels were free, but I did like how they provided ear plugs, and a personal safe.
The room was clean.
Place is cozy.
Drinks are affordable.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
The staff are amazing and helpful! We really enjoyed our time there.
We did have one issue (not your fault at all) but our some of our food that was named for stolen/eaten from the fridge so I thought I would let you know about that. But that’s not on you.
The vibe of the hostel was really good. I really enjoyed the pasta dinner and free drink at the bar. the food options at the bar were really good. I like the kitchen and coomom working space as well.
I did not like the condition of the room. The bed mattress was sunken in the middle; moreover, the washroom was really small, and the shower did not have hot water. The hostel really needs to renovate the rooms.
Moreover, the vending machine was not working
Look no further for the kind, fun, love filled space to make new friends and experience the best while in Rome!!! I am so so so grateful for this place and the staff. Truly exceptional service and they went above and beyond to help me in any way they could. The front desk, bar staff, and even Dj Marco were SO kind. Until we meet again!!!
The experience was overall great. The food and drinks were quality, atmosphere is welcoming and fun. Clean facilities. My only complaint is the room was hot, AC did not seem to work very well, and I was there in December.
The staff were very helpful, and it was so fun meeting other people from all around the world.
I enjoyed this hostel, that’s exactly how it should be, it’s called cozy and lively, choose it if you wanna have fun
Best experience
Nice atmosphere, staff are super friendly, the place is very clean, the events were great and super fun, the bathroom is very decent, beds are nice and overall the whole thing is extremely cost-benefit, it’s more benefits than cost really.
Everything was excellent.
Central location, well functioning desk, nice and simple room, silence at night and a great rooftop bar. When it comes to simply having a place to sleep, along with the opportunity to meet other people in the evenings, this was the best hostel I’ve been to.
It was a perfect stay ! Reception are really nice and smile ! The rooms are great, and the rooftop has the best view on the city !
I really enjoyed my stay. Staff are great and the facilities are really good.
Overall I had a really good experience here, the staff were friendly and the people staying were amazing. I was staying in a very spacious dorm with good places to keep my things. I really enjoyed my stay here.
Overall a nice spot for short trip, it’s clean and has big space in room. Just one thing, it would nice to wash or change the quilt from time to time. My quilt has stain on it.
Dear Yellowsquare team,
You are a great team, you always smile to the customers and always helpful.
Love you all, for sure I’ll come back, it’s a threat.:):)
Good evening and Merry Christmas to all!
Everything was grea, the staff the location the parties
Very nice stay with wonderful reception staff. Easy to get into the city and see the sites. The only negative was that there was some mold in the shower. Otherwise the bathroom and room was clean and well maintained.
This hostel was very welcoming and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. There was some false advertising about all the opportunities offered, for example they have not had a yoga class in 1.5 years which I was looking forward to. The events they held were completely in Italian, so it was not as engaging for me since I do not speak the language.
The room was comfortable, the other guests and staff were friendly, and the food and drinks at the bar were good and well priced. I loved the free pasta at night. The hostel was clean and well-kept, and I felt that everything was professional while still being fun.
I appreciated the location of this hostel, the amenities and the overall vibe! The staff is friendly and helpful! I recommend it!
Great staff, great facilities, great location. Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you!
Bar area great, very sociable in general with plenty to get involved in. Standard rooms, no complaints there. Easy location too!
Great location, clean and loved the bar.
I really enjoyed my stay. The atmosphere was great, the common areas are lively, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Everything felt easy and relaxed.
The only downside was that my room had a bit of an unpleasant smell at times, and the locker door needed a bit of “trick” to close properly. Nothing major, but it’s why I rate it a 9 instead of a 10. Overall, a very good experience.
The staffs were very polite welcoming . We were even given room upgrades for the same price we’ve paid . It was a lucky day for us. Breakfast was great for a very affordable price compared to any other restaurants .
Nice hostel, quite clean with great location and nice staff.
Kitchen is poorly furnished and dirty as well, serration does not function so all doors get trapped.
The room was incredible. Very spacious, the lockers were big and could fit my carry-on, plus a backpacks and some boots. The bathroom was also great: also spacious and the shower was pretty big as well. Very clean, in a good location, with access to 2 tram stations that connect both to the airport station and the central train station.
It was my first time staying at a hostel and Yellowsquare Athens was the perfect choice. The staff were very kind and helpful (even for unique needs such as praying), the room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable, and the balcony and rooftop view were fantastic add-ons. The piece is quite affordable as well.
Friendly staff, immaculate rooms, and common areas, excellent restaurant quality kitchen preparing paid for meals, daily activities bringing people together and four minute walk to T2 tram to train station an the heart of Florence’s main attractions.
Overall everything was clean and nice.
I stayed in the 4-bed girls room (in the middle bed). I felt like there was less space around my bed than the others.
The bathroom door closed/opened quite loudly, it was impossible to not make noise with it. I was a bit annoyed with this because if you arrive or leave while the others are still asleep, then there was no way to avoid the noise.
I arrived also with a larger suitcase that I used for work-related items. I chose the hostel partially because online it said that there is a storage room available. During check-in, I also discussed it with the staff and they didn’t make an objection. However, a few hours later on when I came down from my room to put the suitcase in the storage room, the same exact staff member made it an inconvenience and said that “we usually don’t accept luggage for a long period of time and it’s also large” etc, my stay was 2 nights… I was quite disappointed to hear them refuse it. They could have just said it’s full or something, this was just them not wanting it/caring. I mean, if you have shared rooms, then it would be reasonable to be able to hold a luggage case for 2 days
Room was not cleaned well – piss under toilet seat, old urine stains around toilet and hair. Cleaners were outside my door yelling or talking loudly every morning, waking me up.
Could acutally work in working space, Kitchen large, Roof top with view in Akropolis.
Room clean everything functioning (shower etc.) would stay always when in Athens.
Great stay overall! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from Roma Termini, which meant I didn’t have to linger around the notoriously dodgy station area. The hostel’s in-house bar was always lively at night and had a very welcoming vibe if you want to join the fun. Plenty of restaurants and shops surround the place, so everything you need is close by.
Overall many major things need improvement:
Cleanliness (the bed frame was very dusty, air quality inside the room (no proper ventilation), renovation standard inside the room and particualy in the washroom with old plastics, take away breakfast standard and the fact that breakfast start very late (7.30 am) so I couldn’t have it and had to take a take away box which was very poor quality.
