We appreciate our stay over there, we had a twin room with a private bathroom. We had a good service at the hostel and someone disponible to help us. A good kitchen is available for you if you wanna cook some meals...This is was the good part. But, if you go in a dormitory, be ready to heard a lot... More

This was a nice place, just that. Nothing really interesting. It is really uncomfortable to go up those stairs with your luggage (and I has just one suitcase), I knew about that beforehand but never though it would be that much. Not sure if there are better places to stay in Florence, but I would look for a different choice... More

When I stayed here there was a great deal so it was very hard to turn down especially considering it was recommended in the Rick Steves guidebook. The amenities are good with Wifi, computers, a kitchen, large sitting area, two fridges and a luggage room. The rooms on the other hand are very bare bones and I was completely surprised... More

i can't think of a day when the staff actually smiled at us, the kitchen is like the one at a festival, big, commercial, smells bad, the common room is a couple of benches thrown in the room, no decorations or atmosphere whatsoever. the rooms have bunk beds, its smelly, sticky and hot, no ac or vans that work. same...

This hostel is a good location and the staff is nice, but the rooms are subpar and Florence in the summer get pretty hot. The current fans are not enough and the windows are incredibly tiny. They have screens on the windows to keep mosquitoes out...but the screens have holes in them. The Internet is not reliable and you must... More

Some girls on the train from Cinque Terre warned me not to stay here because it was "so hot." But I dismissed them as being hyperbolic. My bad. I couldn't sleep at all in the sweat-bed. Neither could the other girls. Sporadic cursing in a variety of languages echoed through the barracks (that's how I would describe the room of... More

Excellent clean hostel, large dorm rooms with kitchen and large eating hall with many power points. Wifi worked well for a few days in rooms, lobby & kitchen then was down with no explanation. Great location, 10min walk from station on other side of river so away from touristy crowde areas but walking distance from everywhere you'll want to visit.... More

This place was ridiculously hot at night. Sleeping is a luxury as no aircon is provided. There is a single window and ceiling fans attached to the HIGH ceilings if you are lucky enough to be placed near them. Hostel was ok, easy to walk to main attractions, each rooms had a toilet and sink, free internet. However, kitchen facilities... More

This was an excellent place to stay in Florence! The staff were incredibly helpful, the rooms were clean, the bathrooms were spotless, and you can't beat the location! Florence sightseeing is just a short walk (5 mins) over the river. The facilities in the hostel were excellent. There was a kitchen, utensils, places to eat, Internet access, washer/dryer, and a...

I stayed here for two nights in July. The hostel was clean and the staff was very friendly. You can use the kitchen and they have a large dinning room where you can also hang out during the day. My biggest complaint is that the rooms are too hot. They had ceiling fans but the air was so hot at... More
