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

Hostel was clean in a good location at a good price. The staff were friendly and helpful. You are allocated many hours of free internet which is good. I chose the cheaperst room available and it was mixed with 10 people in. This was nice and sociable and the room was plenty big enough for all of us. There was... More

My first experience in a hostel and all I can compare it to is staying in a college dorm. We stayed 2 nights and had to change rooms b/c we added on the 2nd night a few days after we made the original reservation. The first room had a washroom in it and the only window we had faced the... More

anyway, it is not that bad place to stay. We stayed in a dorm room, and what I can point - the stuff is ok, but wouldn't say that place is very clean. The furniture is old and strange, the bathroom is not well equiped, stairs look dangereous, but for the money you pay for a bed - everithing is... More

This was an alright place to stay. We booked a private room being first time hostel stayers and a little scared to do group. It was decent enough nice size and we had a small watercloset to our surprise since it said shared bathroom. I guess they meant literally the shower room was shared. The courtyard was very noisy in... More

I had a great time here. The receptionist was lovely, there is a large kitchen with all cooking appliances, free high speed internet. The 8 bed women dormitory was very clean and you can ask for a locker (5€ deposit). Note there is no breakfast\lunch or dinner available in August. The only downside is that there is no air conditioning... More

Good deal for the price payed. Very basic but has all the necessary stuff. Clean rooms with a personal locker (take your own padlock!) Confortable and quiet matress. Clean bathrooms although the showers have kind of see-through curtains (they're not co-ed though). Small and not very well equipped kitchen. There is a fridge though (at least there was when I...
