“OK price, but you get what you pay for.”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

We stayed just one night, 3 people. Nice location, very nice for people coming with public transportation, very close to the Train Station as well to the city centre. The moment we arrived there was two girls that was trying to get inside (no reception) and talk directly to the guy. Apparently via phone, he told them he wouldn't give... More

“Good enough”

Reviewed 8 August 2012

I find the hostel to be in an ideal location. It is just 2 blocks away from the subway/metro/bus station. It was so close that we were able to go to Pisa and Siena from the station. It is very close to the city center. Florence is breathtaking at sunset. I recommend you see the sunset from the lower city... More

“Much to be desired.”

Reviewed 6 November 2011 via mobile

If planning on staying in Florence, and considering this hostel, then re consider & read these points: 1. The owner ( who was never there, except to take your money, offer a mumbled explanation as to why the Wi Fi doesn't work or to not listen to you whilst you were speaking) is incredibly rude. 2. The Wi Fi is... More

“... there was only one knife”

Reviewed 2 July 2011

The hostel is only a short walk away from the train station and is also central. However, there isn't much else that I can say positively about it. I was thoroughly disappointed and unfortunately somewhat ruined my stay in Florence. The receptionist/hostel owner was incredibly rude to me and my friend. What's more he was hardly present during the day... More

A friend and I made a booking online for this hostel and paid ten percent up front as well as a booking fee. Upon arrival to the hostel, we were given a price higher than what we agreed to months before. The man at the front desk insisted that the 10% up front was our booking fee and refused to... More

“What an awful place!”

Reviewed 28 March 2010

Many travellers have left poor reviews of this place and I can only agree with them. I go backpacking regularly and have travelled across several continents: I've hardly ever had such an unfirendly experience as in this hostel. Every service costs extra and the manager even tried to charge me for things I didn't order. The overall standard was way... More

I'm a bit surprised to see the poor reviews that have been attributed to this hostel! "Giuseppe" who runs the place is a true character - he added such a warmth and friendliness to the experience. I thought it was an excellent and highly affordable place to stay, in a great location only a few minutes walk away from the... More

“GREAT little hostel!”

Reviewed 25 June 2007

We loved this charming little hostel. It has only 5 rooms so there is a really intimate feel. We stayed in a private double with private bathroom. The room was spacious, brightly painted and filled with light. The bathroom, kitchen facilities, and bedrooms are newly redone as well. Everything was spotless and well maintained. The owner, Giuseppe is very sweet... More

“The only good thing about it is location”

Reviewed 27 April 2007

This is quite a crappy hostel: badly maintained and not secure. It doesn't have a "home" feel at all - those who write about it have probably never been to good "feel at home" hostels. The only good thing about this hostel is location - it's really in the very center. However, since the center of Florence is very compact,... More
