The location was great. It's around the corner from one of the main streets for restaurants/bars and a few minutes walk from the major sights (Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, etc.) The area is very safe and the room/bathroom is clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was no kitchen, but there was a table and fridge in the... More

Certainly in my top 3 hostels to stay. Awesome security, they have great facilities, i.e. showers, kitchen, wi-fi, TV´s, it´s very quiet and the location couldn´t be beat. Everything was great, great hostel, mice for meeting interesting people!

Really good location, room was huge and clean. Staff was extremely friendly. Wifi was only available in the floor below but we could still get signal at the entrance of our room. Would highly recommend this place!

I stayed in the girls dorm for 4 nights. It's an awesome location, 5 mins from all the major stuff in Florence. Rooms are fine, clean and heated! Wifi is good as well. The staff (a lovely Italian girl) were very helpful in showing me where to go! Only one bathroom and you pay €2 euros for a towel (for... More

This was the best hostel I have stayed at. Great location in an awesome city. Staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. The hostel had a lot to offer from day tours, to bikes to getting to see traditional florentine sites.Wonderful atmosphere.

My stay at Alex House has been awesome!!! The location is very good (just one minute walking from Uffizi) The staff at the reception helped me in any way, with recommendations about what I can do during the day. When I left, they said goodbye as I was an old friend! Highly recommended ,everything was amazing!!!
