Nice room, no bunk-beds! Good breakfast. Wi-fi is not so good, connection failed several times. Very good location, everything is nearby. Considering the services, it's a nice place to stay. But it isn't, definitely, a place to meet people.

Awesome location, a ten minute walk from the station, 10 seconds to the Duomo. Fantastic friendly and helpful staff. We had a quad room with an ensuite. The room was freshly painted and spotless. Heaps of space, Large lockers in the room along with a cabinet next to each bed and a towel supplied. Breakfast was simple but good. 6pm... More

This really was a great hostel experience. Admittedly it was more expensive than other hostels (I paid 25 euro a night) but it included breakfast and an evening snack. The wifi was reliable which is a huge plus for me and the rooms/bathrooms were spotless. I stayed here for 4 nights and became close with other travelers and one of... More

Great place! One of the best Hostels I've stayed at. Location is perfect. Super friendly staff, and excellent service. Great for a first time in Florence on a budget. Staff was also great with information about the city and have lots tourist info and maps of where all major sights are located. I would stay here again for sure.

Just stayed at this hostel for 3 nights. I booked a single room with shared bathroom. The hostel provides breakfast, towels, 24 hr reception and appetizers/wine every 630p, in addition to having warm and hospitable staff. It doesn't stop there. The biggest plus for this hostel was its location. The Duomo is literally a minute walk away -- an enormously... More

I stayed at Academy Hostel about a week ago for two nights and it's probably my favourite hostel I've ever stayed at, or at least tied for first place with another in Barcelona. I could go on and on forever about how great my stay was, but these are the main things that I loved : - The atmosphere was... More

A lot of conditions when booking. Best location. Decoration in the hostel is beautiful. Really clean. No bunk.Spacious room. Many books in the common room. Snack and cheap wine at 6:30 every day are good for meeting other travelers. Staff is friendly and helpful. I needed to scan and print something. And they did it for free for me. The... More

I stayed in the hostel for five days: four in a mixed room and one in a private room with a friend. The hostel is extremely clean and organized. The location is simply perfect.
