The place was spotlessly clean and I had a room that looked into a beautiful courtyard garden. There was a large, clean bathroom with a great shower (not to be taken for granted!) across the hall. The building is really nice, with nice common areas, and it was very easy getting a reservation. I also liked the location, not right... More

Room Very Noisey , ( it was in front, room sat practically on street) but when you you ask for a quiet room they put you in the Back and the ROOM was like an Inferno HOT,HOT,HOT. They don't have fans so remember this when staying in summer

Run by a group of older nuns this is a clean, safe and basic place to stay. Set up like a dormitory (with a line of LARGE bathrooms at the end of the hall.. although I think some rooms have bathrooms ensuite). The location was 2 blocks from the Duomo and I walked every where. The 11 PM curfew was... More

Our room was spacious and opened onto the quaint private garden which provides a nice respite from the hectic city center. The bathroom facilities for our room were not ensuite, however it was only a few steps down the... More

The Nuns did not speak any English, however I speak Italian. You can also attend Mass every morning is you so desire. I recommend this facility to all my fellow language students... More

This hostel, run out of a working convent, is a great, cheap option for travellers--especially because it is just two minutes east of the Duomo and situated on a small street, which minimizes the noise somewhat. I stayed there with two female friends on a recent trip to Florence in late March. We had a spacious, very clean, very comfortable... More
