The room was of a reasonable price and one gets what they expect. It is relatively close to the main train station. It wasn't that close to the main centre but as Florence is a small city this isn't the biggest deal. Rooms are clean, there is a kitchen facility and clean bathroom. A shared bathroom was okay, however, one... More

When we arrived in this hostel we had to wait about one hour for the room to be ready, but we were on holidays, so no stress at all. The room had a good size, facing the main road with a balcony and was absolutely clean. The elevator was broken, so it can be difficult to climb the stairs with... More

Besides the proximity to the train station, the modern contemporary decor seen in the photos of the rooms sold us when we booked online. The room actually was as photographed and pretty good, except the designer bed cover was stained and hadnt been cleaned and the bed sheet, though clean was torn. We were promised we would share the bathroom... More
