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.
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
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 !
Nice Hostel with good atmosphere and a nice bar to get to know other travellers. Clean facilities, friendly staff, I would come back again!
me ha encantado. repetiré
Very Accommodating! So thankful we could stay here.
Would love to have more places to set stuff down in the shower and more storage in the rooms and pull be fantastic.
Overall wonderful in every other way!
I loved my stay at the hostel. They were very pleasant days, a clean, organized environment with pleasant people. I would definitely go back.
Great facilities, only thing that could be added would be a gym.
The best hostel I’ve ever been to! Especially the bar directly in front of the hostel was the best! Nice parties and events there thank you soooo much!
I love everything about this hostel. The hostel have such a great vibe. There are a lot of events the hostel promote to have fun. But if I want to sleep the room area is quiet and warm, the bed is comfy and the rooms are modern anda clean. I want to come back!
My friends and i went for 3 days and 2 nights, and we reaaally love the place, is near everything and near the metro station so is suuuper easy to move in rome!
We really enjoyed it our time in there.
Nice staff and nice ambiance
The hostel location and facilities were very good and the activities organized by the hostel was the perfect way to make friends. Also the best thing was the bar of the hostel were you could have free pasta, meet new people and party every day.
Probably the best hostel I’ve stayed at. It’s great for making friends, the staff is really friendly, free pasta every evening and comfortable beds. If anything maybe the rooms are a bit on the smaller side. The pool is amazing and the rooftop has great views. I loved it there.
Positive aspects: The hostel in general was pretty good and clean, the people were having a lot of fun. Negative aspects : the kitchen was closed when I got there at 10:15 pm, I couldn’t cook my dinner. The room was really hot even with the window open, and there were honestly 15-20 mosquitoes in the room, I heard them buzzing all night and got stung on the eye. The hostel is not fully responsible for this but having mosquito repellent around would be a good idea.
Location is great, the staff is very kind and helpful
The cooking class is a must !
The hostel is clean, comfortable, and has a grear social vibe
The Hostel is close to the metro, nice restaurant around. The room was super clean and nice !
I had an excellent stay at Yellowsquare, the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable.
The staff were very friendly, thanks to the Lithuanian receptionist for her recommendations (I don’t know her name) and to Daniel for their welcome.
This hostel is great! It is peaceful if you want to rest but it also offers lots of activities if you want to have fun.
I had a great time at the hostel, nice room and común areas were so nice.
Despite a situation I had in room 203, people from reception desk solve our problem gave us another room and refund what I had payed for my stay. So I appreciate that.
I arrived before checking, hoping the drop my luggage off and come back later. But the woman on reception double checked and my bed was ready! She kindly escorted me to my room and offered to help carry my bag as we had a few stairs to climb.
The room itself was great – lockers matching each bed that I could easily fit my two pieces of hand luggage and an en-suite for the 8 beds. Plug and light on the bed which makes such a difference.
I went on the Gelatour on my first night – a must do. It’s a great way to get your bearings, meet new people and more importantly eat gelato.
The staff gave me a voucher for a free drink during happy hour and you can refill your water at reception for free – again, it makes such a difference.
There are so many spaces for people to hang out and chat that the dorm itself was silent. The courtyard is beautiful and I wish I made the most of it, but after stomping around Milan all day I just wanted to go to sleep.
The location is great, it’s just off the M3, maybe a 10 minute walk maximum if you’re tired and you have heavy bags? But you could also easily walk into Milan instead, which I did the second day.
The staff are amazing though, they are so friendly and helpful. Once I’d checked out, they showed me where I could store my bags for the day for 1€ – you probably could fit a decent sized hold luggage in the locker so more than enough space for my two bags.
I will be back!
I paid about double that I usually pay for a hostel but I just wanted a good experience and to not worry about it. The staff was super great and helpful.
The room was ok, was happy with lockers and the safe. The bathroom was filthy unfortunately. There was some “short term” issues like big clumps of hair and other things that stuck around after a few days which isn’t pleasant. The thing that was surprising was all the dirt and stains on the walls. For the amount that was charged for the room I would have expected that to be cleaned.
Originally I planned to stay at another hostel, but missed any spaces, so I chose this one instead and did not regret it. I thought I may have been to old to stay at such a hip cool place but fit in absolutely fine. Reception staff were lovely. Cheap towel rental with a free little bag. A free beer on arrival, and free pasta and tortillas! Good random activities you can get involved with. Great bar. Beds are solid and don’t squeak or anything. Simple safe. Personally I don’t like the bathroom to be in the room, but oh well. Great location near to the train station. Walking distance to everywhere. Water fountain outside. All good really
Yellowsquare Florence is a fantastic hostel. The pool is very nice and makes you feel as if you’re staying someone nicer than a hostel. Between the pool, the basement club/bar, the outdoor terrace, etc it is a great place to meet people.
I like the Hostel, but the Rooms are to small, Same with the bathrooms
