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.

When checking in the music was a bit too loud and I couldn’t really hear the person at reception.
The bathroom in the room got really gross and the floor flooded whenever anyone showered
People were smoking on the roof making it uncomfortable to be up there

Great accommodation to stay in in Florence

What I loved about this hostel were facilities (suds as the pool) the spacious dorms and the cleanliness of the rooms. It was a bit of a walk to the city centre but there is public transport nearby. I assume they also accommodate bigger groups whereas I would have preferred a more personal approach. Instead of general activistes like tote bag painting I rather have a tour to explore Florence or trip to the wine region.

This was amazing. I wish my stay in Milan was half as nice. The rooftop pool had a beautiful view of Florence and the mountains. They have super fun activities every night. The rooms were great and clean!

We had a great experience at Yellow Square. We met an amazing group of friends and enjoyed being able to eat breakfast with the in the mornings at the hostel. The pool was closed for half of our stay which was disappointing

This place is really great! Everything is very clean, always running events, the breakfast and coffee is really affordable and delicious, the location is pretty good (easy to walk places from here), the rooms are nice and comfortable, and the whole place is colourful and has a cool vibe with lots of seating. The only thing I would change is the bathroom situation – not sure if it was only my room but the hook for towels was outside the shower and you can’t lock the door so kind of awkward. Otherwise, everything was great!

Overall good

Overall it was pretty good. I liked the rooftop and the lobby was quite nice too. Also ask for an extra bed sheet to use as a curtain! Other than that, the dryer didn’t dry my clothes and there was a volunteer that would always touch my shoulders/back when he talked to me which made me very uncomfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hostel! The check-in and bar area was very welcoming and we enjoyed getting coffee and drinks there a few times. We also loved hanging out on the front patio!

The staff were absolutely great right from the start very caring. The activities which are put on are so good as it makes it a lot easy to socialise with other travellers especially if your solo.

Great installations abd services. The guys in the reception are extremely kind (Damiano the Best). The lobby área is always in a party mood but there’s a efficent isolation between the bedroom área.

My stay at Yellowsquare was the best out of any hostel I’ve stayed at throughout Europe in the 2 months I’ve been travelling. From the moment I walked in I felt super welcomed by all the staff and the rooms were spectacular, I loved that you couldn’t hear any outside noise with the windows shut. The rooms were always super clean and are a great size and the beds and locker situation is awesome. I really appreciated the activities, the fact that they were all free, there was multiple to chose from throughout the day and that they weren’t solely drink focused was great and I got to enjoy a few of them in the week I was there. The entire experience felt super luxurious for a hostel, I wish it was sunny enough to enjoy the pool but I’m sure that would be a blast in summer too.

This was such a good hostel, really friendly people at the check in and bar and like minded guests. You could buy food on site which was awesome when I was feeling a bit lazy but there was also a communal kitchen. The hostel offered activities each day, I attended the cooking class which was amaaazing! There’s a pool on the top deck but the weather was pretty terrible while I was here so it wasn’t open, looked very pretty though. Luggage storage was available before check in and after check out. The hostel is a bit out of the way from the town centre but relatively close to the main train station and there’s a tram stop just down the road so you don’t have to walk far

Since the hotel I booked earlier in Florence was too far from the center, I found only this hostel for a reasonable price within a day. This was my experience. It was not good for me to stay in a room with strangers. but I was glad that the girls I stayed in the same room with were without problems. They tried to be quiet and not disturb others. İt is an ideal place for teenagers and youth

The hostel was really well managed, all the staff were incredible, the bars were well priced and the food was great, the pool and club and all the social events were super fun. I liked the beds and the curtains, the bathroom was clean but I would’ve liked a lock on the main door for getting changed.

Daizy

perfect, but far from the city center

pretty much the title. great amenities, very clean, loved the in-room bathroom/shower. spacious room with definitely enough space for four. amazing breakfast/bar, super friendly and helpful staff. i didn’t participate in the hosted activities, but there were plenty offered. only issue is it’s about a 20-30 minute walk from most attractions in the city. but if you don’t mind a walk or like the quieter atmosphere, it’s a perfect choice.

Amazing stay just outside Florence

I had an incredible time during my 3 night stay in Florence. The hostel is just outside the city, and located near the train which takes ~8 mins to get into the center of Florence. I really appreciated all the activities the hostel hosted to build community. Plus, the rooms and bathroom were clean. I’d highly recommend staying here!

Julia

Very nice vibe, lovely stuff, great events but could do with some bed blinds

This place is so wonderful – the staff are genuinely kind and helpful, the accommodation is clean and we’ll taken care of. I’m a loner so I didn’t participate in any of the social events, but they looked so fun! I had to get up early one day to catch a bus, and the receptionist was kind enough to make me a coffee and grab me a croissant 🥰

The location is a wee bit far from the main city centre (about 20 minute walk), BUT there is a tram RIGHT in front of the hostel that gets you to/from the city centre, as well as the airport! Super convenient! If I come back to Florence, I will definitely stay here.

Very friendly, very clean, very stylish.
Great public areas (bar) and networking-events (pasta-class).
Furthermore: young, modern and international. Amazing view over Florence from the rooftop with pool 🙂

Absolutely gorgeous Hostel, with super cool activities like club nights, dance classes, cooking classes, picnics and creative stuff. The terrace with the pool is super nice to just relax. Really loved it there, will definitely com back.

The worst experience

/100

It has been a rather unpleasant experience. They changed my room due to an error in the reservation and they did it at dawn and in a terrible way, where literally the person who went to the room quite pedantic
He said: “Take your things because you can’t stay here” and I was in my pajamas. I had an excellent experience at The Yellow Roma but I will not book with you again.

I’ve only good words for the hostel. The facilities were very good, with pretty spacious rooms, fully equipped kitchen, the bar open almost 24 hours, the rooftop swimming pool (even if I didn’t use it), the club downstairs and the terrace.
The staff was really nice as well, they were very helpful and friendly, and they were organizing nice activities every day. Also, the vibe in the hostel couldn’t be better.
So far, the best hostel I’ve ever stayed.
