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.
Hostel was very good
But the room was very small
Staff were very helpful, breakfast was good as you were able to choose from the menu. Good atmosphere they have something on every night! A good happy hour and welcome drink was nice to get everyone involved!
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.
Good hostel, with events for bookers, clean sheets, clean matresses, I recommend it
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.
Enjoy my stay. Spent one night there and would definitely comeback whenever I’m in Rome. The bedsheet and bath was clean and the staffs were all welcoming and helpful.
The location is also perfect(close to the train station).
Helpful, fun place to stay. Definitely recommended
This place is a great summary of a usual Roman tourist experience: great people, but ridiculously over-priced place. The staff is great and very helpful. The facilities offered by the hostel are unique in the surrounding: restaurant and pub, co-working space, lockers, daily events, kitchen, etc. However, the old building is inadequate to host guests, like elsewhere in the city. First, there is no adequate air circulation system in the room. The air gets so stinky that I felt sick for a couple of nights. This is an issue in dorms, because some people may have more cold than others, preventing to open the windows. Second, there are no sound-proof walls and windows. This is ridiculous for a dormitory, especially with a disco-pub in the ground-floor! For 70€/night in a shared room with 4 strangers, I DO expect a better quality.
Atmosphère Nice, customer service attentive
This hostel was so modern and beautiful. The overall atmosphere was so chilled, everything had been thought of so we had a great time staying here.
Place was very good as I expected, bed really comfortable and clean
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 comfortable to stay in a 6 female dorm. The bed can be private if you use your towel or bedsheets as a curtain. And the hight of the lower bunker bed is enough to sit on the bed. I could feel I was in my own space.
Very clean in dorm, bathroom, kitchen and common spaces.
The staffs are very kind and helpful. Location is very good to access to major tourist sites by metro or bus.
The impressive things are event programs they organize every different day for guests. Even they provide a welcoming pasta and drink for free.
Hopefully any other guests can enjoy the hospitality and fun vibe in YellowSquare Rome, too.
I really loved my stay! The bathroom and room were very clean and the staff was nice. But everything is very expensive. It starts with the room itself but also a wine for 5/6 euro’s is imo too much for a small glass in a hostel. Or 4 for a beer is crazy 🙁
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
The staff were nice and resolved my issues quickly. However it was a party hostel and too expensive in comparison. I found room mates very noisy and aggressive.
The washing machine was out of order and there was only one working for 4 buildings of guests!
The hair salon inside was a disaster and ruined my hair colour.
Stayed for two nights with YellowSquare in Rome, brilliant hostel. I met so many people and enjoyed the discounted drinks. I had a private room and it was similar to a hotel room
From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and relaxed at YellowSquare. The staff were so friendly, once I told them about my series of unfortunate events, they went the extra mile to help and empathise. The room clean and the bed comfortable! I especially loved Yellow Bar which also had nice staff and a variety of drinks to choose from.
Great location, energy, food, and staff. This is my second time here and I will be back.
The hostel is great. The rooms are always clean, the staff is friendly and bubbly. The events and interactive activities available for people is so useful. Solo traveling, or just traveling in general is amazing, however, traveling changes you as a person through the people you meet along the way. I have stayed at yellowsquare in Florence, Milan, and Rome. Each times I have met the most amazing people that have taught me so many things, about the world, about my self. The activities provide just the space to break the ice for so many people. I highly highly recommend and will be going back to yellowsquare. Also added bonus the breakfasts are fab! They truly have highlighted the essential needs for someone to function, there are healthy fats, protein, carbs, etc. Not that everyone needs to use this information, but they are thought out and designed for you be full for the day.
I had a really good experience definitely one of the best hostels I ever stayed great. Facilities and great staff
Everything was very clean, the hostel had plenty of activities and nice common spacez. The only downsides were that my 4 bed shoebox dorm was very small and not well ventilated even when the window was open, but this was a minor issue.
I really liked my stay at the yellow square hostel. The staff was nice and helpful. I enjoyed all the activities that were offered. The hostel was clean and within a walking distance away from the city center. I really would recommend staying here.
I stayed the first time at a YellowSquare hostel and loved the concept. Every day is at least one event organised – I curved pumpcins, took part in a pictonary -evening and listened to stand-up-comedy. This was a perfect opportunity to connect with other guests.
Altough also discos were part of the programm, it was quiet in the dorms.
In the kitchen you can use several products like noodles and cornflakes for free.
The hostel is close to the dome, it’s just a walk of half an hour. You can also reach it within some minutes with M3, which is also directly connected with the main station.
This was a well oiled machine if there ever was one. Clean and well maintained rooms and facilities, attentive, available and friendly multilingual and diverse staff, social activities for daytime and night both indoors and outdoors, discounted and exclusive options for guests, automated systems for laundry and storage, balance of open spaces for socializing or quiet time, decent quality of food (especially the nuggets), beautiful pool with Duomo view, proximity to two tram stops, curated link to up to date city activities and experiences, WhatsApp support. And free pesto pasta!!!
We loved our time there, great time, great place, absolutely fantastic !
me ha encantado. repetiré
Nice Hostel with good atmosphere and a nice bar to get to know other travellers. Clean facilities, friendly staff, I would come back again!
