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.
I am very satisfied with my experience at Yellowsquare Athens. The hostel is clean and organized, the staff is well-trained and helpful, the events had a nice vibe that kept you going and I really enjoyed the shared spaces, especially the co-working floor and the large kitchen.
Staying at YellowSquare Roma was a great experience. The dorm was clean, and the common areas were comfortable and great for meeting fellow travelers. The bar associated with the hostel was also a lot of fun and I appreciated that people staying at the hostel got discounts on drinks.
I had a fantastic stay at this hostel in Athens! The location was perfect — close to the main attractions, restaurants, and public transport, which made exploring the city super easy.
I noticed you put curtains for bunk beds finally! Bravo👏
The place was great, clean and very kindly
I loved the vibe of the hostel, the music in the reception, the staff members, the cleanliness, the food and the activities, the drinks. I wish I’d have stayed longer actually, but I already plan another Florence trip in the future and I’m probably going to choose yellow square again, but also probably in Rome and other cities.
Internet in the room was super bad, the room was old and ugly
The staff was incredibly kind, perfect location, and the rooms and bed were pristine. One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed at.
Clean bedrooms, easy checkin, comfortable bed, nice café and bar at reception, many activities, convenient kitchen. Staff available and helpful. Price was reasonable given the winter Olympic time.
This was a great stay with lovely staff and a super sociable environment. Made a bunch of great friends! Would recommend
Yellow Square is an innovator in the youth hostel sector, offering, for example, a safe for each bed in the dormitories, daily entertainment, very friendly and professional staff, clean facilities, and a central location in Milan, close to the metro at Porta Romana and to the tram and within walking distance of the city center: Duomo.
It was a very clean property with enough space for storage and plenty of events for guests.
Rooms were amazing and environment was even better. It’s a very social hostel which is definitely appreciated and has lots of amenities too which is great. It was very clean with very friendly/accommodating staff. Had the opportunity to meet some amazing people here and overall I’d really recommend it!
Great location, clean, excellant breakfast, very helpful staff.
The people were quite cool and lot of activities organized by the team. Was an amazing experience in a way! Some parts like the toilets could be much cleaner
We stayed at Yellowsquare Milan for the Olympics for 1 night, and it was a great stay! Super lively and a lot going on and attentive staff. Great rooms with clean and nice bathrooms. Very close to metro as well which was ideal!
Everything in general was perfect. I would just point for the cleaning.
Also the bathrooms are very small.
The hostel is really nice and modern, has a lot of common areas were you can chill, work and meet people. Is really near the train station and a couple of restaurants.
It was the first hostel experience for me and i think i could not do better. I was a bit scared to come because took a room for 4 people and didn’t know anyone in the city. But on the way to the hotel met a restaurant trapezino, entered inside and was surprised by the vibe. Understood that the area was quite calm and that fun. In the hostel room had really amazing neighbours, made friends with one fo them. The staff was very helpful and effective, cool space, liked having the kitchen and it was a real bonus. Lots of activities for those who want. Cleaning every day and really good bed sheets. The bed space is small but its a hostel and the dortoir for 4 people. I really appreciate my stay and will definitely recommend it in future. Thank ytou!
While playing games the host didn’t include everyone and was only selective of people they liked.
Excellent location, very clean, everything was wonderful over our week there!
Second time I come to a yellowsquare establishment, such a good meeting thanks to the atmosphere offered. I have only good memories there
I unfortunately didn’t have the best experience this time around. I had an amazing time at your Florence establishment which is what prompted me to book my accommodation with you for Rome, Athens and Milan. The first thing I noticed was that the internet connection was terrible. It kept getting disconnected every couple of minutes throughout my stay, which was very frustrating. The connection was either super weak or kept getting disconnected continuously. The next thing was the bathroom. I was so pleased with the bathroom in Florence, but stepping into the one in Rome was extremely disappointing. It was super cramped up which I didn’t expect based on the pictures on your website. The shower drain also didn’t work properly forcing me to shower in a puddle every night. The bathroom was altogether a frustrating experience. I think it would be helpful if the pictures on the website were updated since part of my disappointment came from high expectations. I did expect a similar vibe to Florence, if not better, considering the rate was higher. Therefore it contributed to my disappointment and frustration with the room. The staff were lovely and I have no other complaints, I just think updated photos would be helpful 🙂
I had an amazing time at YellowSquare. It had an incredible atmosphere and I felt both welcomed and safe. I enjoyed my stay there wholeheartedly and would absolutely go back as well as recommend it to all my friends. Thank you all so much for such an amazing experience ♥️
The experience was great! Our room was clean and the whole process was very smooth and easy delt with. Very affordable shared rooms and good food and drinks.
Rooms are so small, the hygiene of bathroom was really bad!!!
I was satisfied with the quality of service provided
Easy check in and check out
The room was correct, quiet and clean
The location was perfect
Hostel bed had bed bugs
I really enjoyed the YellowSquare hostel in Florence. The proximity of the train to the hostel just a few minutes away was a nice surprise. Yr stay at the hostel was amazing and so nice. I spoke to Leigha and was so impressed with the experience I had at the hostel. I enjoyed it so much when I went to Rome I stayed at the YellowSquare hostel😁
Towels should be free for the price of the room for night. My roommate got sick from eating the free pasta and spent the last 2 days of her trip unable to do much. Overall pretty clean hostel.
Amazing experience. The staf was super nice and helpful overall, the people we met very nice as well and all the hostel activities end up boosting the connection between all hostellers.
The common areas such as the common kitchen were all super tidy and clean.
Felt very safe during the entire stay
Overall 10/10 experience, better than expected
It is purely my favorite hostel
I highly recommend for travellers, the staff were very helpful. They tried to arrange activities to encourage other backpackers to get to know each other. Good menu options for breakfast and food throughout the day.
All god
Super welcoming staff and positive environment! There’s always something going on to meet other people staying there too
I stay for 2 nights in the hostel. All super good.
Really enjoyable night. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I did get told I was too old for a dorm though 🤣. No problem as I upgraded to a private room with a bathroom still reasonably priced. Will definitely stay again but when it’s a bit busier so I can really make use of the top bar. Thanks YellowSquare staff 😎
The hostel is very good located. I was in a dorm form women, which I was really happy about. I stayed 5 nights and met incredible people! The hostel organizes events daily, which were very fun! But as in any hostel, don’t forget your earplugs and sleeping mask in case you want to sleep in.
