YellowSquare Reviews

We stayed 2 nights at Yellow Square. The dorm rooms were clean and tidy and had good storage lockers. The common areas were spacious and clean. We enjoyed the daily activities that were on offer. We ate from the food menu on offer which was good.

YellowSquare is slightly away from the main hub of Florence’s attractions, but as a walker, it didn’t bother me. The hostel was clean and so much fun! The amount of activities (including genuinely free activities) included was perfect and I couldn’t believe how many people I met from the hostel during my stay!
As a solo traveller, I highly recommend this hostel! Made me feel right at home!

Awesome spaces and staff

Great place to stay in Florence, just outside of the busy part. Staff was great, rooms were clean, and they hosted events everyday.

Room was comfortable, quiet, and clean.

Absolutely amazing, staff were incredible, plenty of activities to do during your time there, rooms were tiny and cleaned well! Will absolutely be staying here in again in the future!

Nothing to say except keep going like that 🙂

Staff was super nice and friendly! Highly recommend!

Nice hostel, clean and welcoming. A little further out of Florence centre than advertised but okay. Kitchen facilities close that 11:30 and open at 7:30 which is frustrating when you have an early travel day and need water or to get breakfast.

I loved my experience here at Yellowstone Florence. I was able to meet a lot more people who also enjoy traveling and new experiences. It was a super fun experience and I really enjoyed the salsa night!

Thanks for an amazing stay! Enjoyed the hostel atmosphere, hope you’ll expand to other countries too!

I really enjoyed staying at the hostel, the staff was outstandingly friendly, the decoration was cool, the kitchen was fully equipped (please clean the microwave more often), the room had a good size and the bathroom was very clean. Also the guests were very respectful and polite, it’s a great place to make new travel friends!

The only downside, is I was robbed by roommates.

The hostel was just amazing, the facilities were really clean and the room as well, the do every night different types of activities and they are super fun, we met so many people from everywhere and the staff always showed a positive and kind attitude.

I really liked the hostel, the staff were nice and the room was clean. I enjoyed getting some food and drink at the Barmezzo and the social activities from hostel looked amazing.

YellowSquare was a great hostel overall. Good social environment and activities in the common area including free pasta and welcome drinks. The rooms themselves were very nice but our room did feel dark as maybe needed some extra lighting. Rooms have large lockers for bags and small safes for valuables as well as in bunk lights and chargers. The rooftop pool looked amazing though we didn’t use it as it wasn’t warm enough outside during our trip. Would definitely stay here again.

I have stayed in dozens of hostels and this one was the best equipped so far, with the nicest daily activities. All concepts there make 100% sense (luggage, washing, cooking area, bar, party basement, …). Also, the staff was very helpful and the environment sets you in a good mood.

This was my first ever solo trip and yellowsquare was the best hostel I could have asked for. From free pasta and wine, to the most welcoming reception, I was blown away by the unique experience. This hostel was a really kind environment and I felt so safe in my all girl’s room and making friends in the club downstairs.

YellowSquare was amazing! We loved our stay and we wished we were able to stay for longer! When I come back to Florence I will be staying there!

If you look for a place to stay in Florence, I wouldn’t even consider other option – only YellowSquare. Close to the train station S.M.N., well-connected with the city by tram (but you can walk as well), the staff is very helpful and international – they speak many languages so there is no problem with communication. The evening activities were excellent and well-organised.

The staff was very friendly and ready to help you with anything. The free pasta for dinner on Friday is a nice initiative.

People in the reception and the bar are really nice. Rooms are clean. The only two advices that I’d give them: they might thinking about changing the dj for the club night because the crowd is international and we were not having fun with soft techno music. And the second is they might add bar hopping or other fun activities to connect people more instead of karaoke.

Yellowsquare Florence is such a welcoming place! From the moment I walked in, all staff took great care of me and worked hard to create a super chill and relaxed vibe. I made several friends and the dorms was very comfortable. Their luggage holding option on the day of checkout is super nice. Alex was extremely helpful when I had a phone crisis, and even let me use his own phone to contact the next place I was staying. I highly recommend yellowsquare Florence!!

The place is great, you have so many options any time. You also have an excellent place where you can not only sleep and eat but also interact with other ppl and do different activities.

Not flexible when it comes to booking

I Love YellowSquare, they have a great team and super cool activities and events for people to socialize and get to know each other. There’s a lot of young people so it was super fun and interactive. The rooms and bathroom were also clean. I took the cooking class with Marco and it was fantastic. He made the experience really entertaining and delicious 😉 And I can only recommend playing beer pong in the yellowbar, it’s a great way to meet people and to have a lot of fun.

I stayed here for 3 nights and had the most amazing time ever! The staff put on activities everyday and night so it was super easy to meet other travellers. The staff were really made me feel welcome and at home here. I will definitely be coming back!!

The staff was always there to help and keep you relaxed. The facility’s available were always very clean and ready to use. The food and drinks were at great price and delicious!

Great stay, good size bedrooms, comfortable beds, en suite bathrooms. Excellent entertainment options, great to have kitchen handy.

I loved all of the setup: bar, common areas, kitchen (albeit didn’t use), rooftop, club,…

Also all of the events being organized which was a great way to meet people.

Only minor things in “to improve”. E.g. the showers in the room aren’t isolated well. Tends to get the whole bathroom floor wet.

This was hands down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. After staying here, no other hostel deserves a perfect rating. Only negative thing is that they don’t have a permit to sell alcohol after 1 am, but that’s the only thing I can think of

Facilities we’re far above expectation, rooms clean and staff friendly and helpful

Big (mostly tidy) kitchen, lots of daily activities and opportunities to meet other travellers, the bar and cafe downstairs were great, there were books and games on the bookshelves downstairs to use, decent sized room, big rooftop with deck chairs and a pool and bar, although we stayed in March so we didn’t swim and the rooftop bar was closed but the bar downstairs was still open and they let us take our drinks upstairs so it didn’t really matter it was still a nice atmosphere and nice to soak up the beginning of the spring sunshine. Overall a great stay.

I can recommend this hostel for a short stay in Florence to discover the city. Although it’s a 15 minute walk to the city center you have a great staff and a nice building with Café, bar/bistro.

Smooth feel at the hostel was topped up with the Lithuanian coffee experience – served straight forward, pretty-eyed. Unforgettable.
