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.
first time staying at a hostel and absolutely loved it. stayed in a private room for four and would recommend. the lobby is so vibey with friendly people, free water, and a free drink voucher! always felt safe, breakfast was cheap and delicious. couldnt recommend more, quick metro to the city center for shopping.
Clean hostel, friendly people, even friendlier staff, good location. Can’t go wrong here.
Overall, I had a pleasant stay; the hotel was clean, the reception staff were courteous and helpful, and the services were good, although the room rates were slightly expensive.
Location was alright, a bit far to walk to the main sights. Not much around the hostel. The free welcome drink and associated bar at least guarantee a social evening. The AC is a godsend, but the bathrooms were not clean and the showers did not feel private. There was nothing to put your stuff on but the dirty floor.
I was pleasantly surprised by the happy, bustling vibe that the hostel offered. I met some amazing people from the hostel and they had tons of fun activities for everyone to participate in! The room was comfortable and I had my own locker and privacy curtains.
We were staying in the Hostel for six days, with the access to the community kitchen it was easy to store food, we loved the activities that were organised and with the welcome bonus for the rooftop there was a nice spot to meet new people. The Hostel offered everything needed to have a pleasant stay, with a workout room, chill room, rooftopbar etc.
I loved the vibe, social side of the hostel! People were super friendly including the staff they really wanted to get to know you and help out.
I had a very positive experience during my stay. I felt really comfortable, the team was always genuinely attentive and nice. The location is convenient, the facilities work well, and everything contributed to making me feel truly welcomed. I would definitely recommend it and would happily return or pass the the other ones in Milan, Florence or Athens.
Very good location , nice crew, clean place , cool rooftop, really nice place to stay in Athens, I am very satisfied
Had a great time rooms were clean, common area was lovely, handy location.
The staff did the bare minimum, the people staying here were mostly in groups and not very friendly. No privacy curtains, and €250 went missing from my bag. Everything was clean and comfortable though.
Helpful staff, clean spacious room.
Best hostel , i liked
I only spent one night. The room was clean and fresh smelling. The staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. I would definitely stay again.
It was good place to meet other travelers and have fun
There was no social aspect, the planned events sucked, a bunch of people not at the hostile were at the bar. The shower flooded everytime you used it, no curtains despite a curtain rod. Rooms were clean and has a which was nice though.
Location is perfect
Staff is amazing
Breakfast is very delicious
Excellent value
I had a really good time there. It is close to a lot of places, I felt safe all the time.
My stay did not start in the most pleasant way. Despite requesting a room with a balcony and a view, I was initially accommodated in a room that had neither. I later learned that, due to high occupancy, it was the last available room. While I understand that situations like this can happen, it would have been appreciated if this had been communicated in advance, especially since the rate I paid did not correspond to what I received upon arrival.
I expressed my disappointment to August, the manager on duty, and he immediately did his best to address the situation. His professionalism and willingness to help were greatly appreciated. The following day, Melpomeni, who was assisting guests outside the reception area, arranged an upgrade for me, as August had already reserved a suitable room for the next day.
What started as a disappointing experience ultimately turned into a very positive one thanks to the efforts of these two employees. Their dedication to guest satisfaction, responsiveness, and genuine care completely changed my impression of the stay. I am grateful for their assistance and would like to thank both August and Melpomeni for going the extra mile to make things right.
This version acknowledges the problem while giving deserved credit to the staff who resolved it, which tends to come across as fair and credible in hotel reviews.
I had a great experience. The location was perfect being so close to Termini and multiple bus stops. I felt safe at all times. The facilities were very clean. And I loved how social it was with the bar across the street.
Soical, clean, curtains, friendly staff, affordable, location was perfect and as a bonus the rooftop offered the best view ever!
Thank you for such an enjoyable stay! Me and my cousin stayed in a 4 bed dorm and had such a good time. I want to come back to Florence and will definitely book here again
The room I stayed in was a great group of girls who made the stay so enjoyable. There were fun events and I especially appreciated the pasta on the first night!
I liked everything! It was a great experience for my first solo travel. I stayed in 4 bed female dorm. It was wide and clean. So glad for the curtains in bed and bidet in the toilet.
Had a great time at Yellowsquare. Was there for two nights before taking off on a cruise. The room was comfortable, no frills, but we didn’t need all that. Just needed a comfortable bed and great shower. Rooftop bar was amazing and so fun with an an awesome evening view of the Acropolis! The food was good, loved the Greek salad and their pizza. Staff was very kind and sweet. We did order breakfast every morning and it was fantastic as well.
Very good place to stay, I was there with my family, it was my daughter’s favorite place. The only thing is that they just have a washing machine.
The staff were very friendly. The hostel had lots of activities and a fun vibe. The kitchen and drinks were affordable too.
The room itself was pretty average. The bed was pretty uncomfortable and maybe the room was a little dated but perfectly fine.
We did however have a cleaner walk into our room unannounced around 8:30am or so without knocking and without anything on the door saying we wanted the room serviced which was a little scary. After I seemed shocked he closed the door but did not apologise. At the very least he could have knocked. A few minutes prior I was undressed in the room so he could have walked in and seen. I felt that there needed to be a way to lock the room further from the inside as the lock was just automatic which felt a little unsafe. Our key cards also stopped working so we had to go to reception 3x to get it fixed.
Other than that it was good.
the rome yellowsquare was an amazing hostel, the rooms were clean and safe, the people were very friendly and welcoming, the shower water pressure was fantastic! the girls in my room and i clicked instantly and it made the trip that much more wonderful, we went down to the yellow bar for drinks and free pasta every night and the outside area of the bar was great for finding people to talk to and befriend!! the staff in the bar were also so lovely and friendly same with inside the hostel!
the area of the hostel was pretty good and very close to termini station as well which was handy and i felt very safe the entire time as a female solo traveller!
i stayed here for my first solo trip and it was so good i wished i continued the trip for longer and will definitely stay at yellowsquare again!!!!
Helpful staff – lovely pool – free pasta – a free drink – cheap breakfast options – perfect rooms – great atmosphere
This hostel makes an incredibly welcoming environment will lots of social activities all throughout the week to bring people together. The staff was great, the rooms were clean, and the pool made it completely worth it to be a little further from the City center.
was nervous about staying a hostel for the first time but yellowsquare was wonderful. i found it to be better then many hotels ive styaed at. on arival we were given free drink vouchers. the rooms were clean and well furnished, we had AC control and the bathrooms were great. there were many amenities on site as well. i would definitely recomend and will be looking at staying at yellowsquares in other cities as well.
I was surprised by how spacious, clean the room and all the facilities were (in contrast to the hostels I have stayed at). Ample storage. Good soundproof room and black-out curtain. My roommates were friendly and respectful. Love the designs and layout (inside and outside). I would stay with YellowSquare again. Grazie mille!!
The AC in the room was so noisy I could not sleep most of the time.
Beds were clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and clean. Shower was dirty and often cold. Social life was great. The free pasta each night was a big plus.
Clearly I booked in a wrong place because of my age. 50 years old. The oldest guest had 30 years old as much. Atmosphere of College university. I read late that the maximum age is 45 years old .
AC was broken. Room was very humid and had a poor smell coming from the bathroom with no circulation in the room.
I liked the hostel but I returned home sick. I Asked the reception to change the AC temperature because i was freezing (was 18c the whole stay), there was no remote so I was told it would be fixed by morning which didn’t happen. I caught a cold after that.
staff was amazing . place was great. safe. yellow pub was cherry on top. loved it
Such a good Hostel experience. The Hostel bar across the street was so nice and the staff always very friendly. The free pasta every night and discount for guests was a plus! I would definitely stay here again, and recommend everyone else to as well!
I enjoyed my stay at Yellowsquare Milano! It was a great experience to start my trip on.
