I loved everything. The guys in the frontdesk were the sweetest, very friendly and polite. The room has a perfect size, well organized, perfect aesthetic to sleep well and very technological. The customer service and the installations, not to count the location, just a few steps far from the tram and Florencia Centro... Was a dream. Very easy to go to. Recommended 100%. Also very safe by night!.

Its more than a hostel. They provide services above and beyond any other hostel I have stayed. It had 4 toilet/bathrooms so very less wait time. Free juice, free cornflakes, free coffee and stay also included towel. Apart from that they also provided shower gel, shampoos etc Rooms were air conditioned and air conditioning was largely fine but on 35 degree Celsius day if windows remain opened in afternoon then it will take some time for room to cool down. Rooms and beds were very large to accommodate 4-6 people and plenty of space Bathrooms were regularly cleaned Even dorm beds were arranged everyday They deserve respect and appreciation

Located close to main Train Station SM Novella. Was easy to find and locate. Was within walking distance to most attractions. Offered free water, coffee from a nice coffee machine and juice all day. Had a cute little courtyard in the middle, perfect to sit and relax. Very charming hostel. Perfect Florence vibes.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We were initially hesitant about staying at a hostel but it was actually great. The bunk beds were clean and comfy. The staff was nice and helpful. It would have been great if there was a hook in the bathroom to hang towels or clothes. But otherwise, good stay. There are lockers to store your luggage safely as well.

    The property is situated in a very quiet part of Florence. If you like to walk, it is the perfect hostel for you as it is a good 20 minute walk from the centre. It has complete facilities for both work, leisure and long stay. It has a coworking space, a bar and pool, and locker storage/laundry facility. Best for backpackers, students, and people on a budget looking for a cheap accomodation.

    This is the most beautifully designed, well kept, fun and in general - best hostel in Florence. The price is good for the standards of the city, which means that anything cheaper won’t be worth the money. Apart from that, there is a free welcome drink and lots of other free goodies during your stay. However, the kindness, the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff is priceless. This all results with a great social connection between all the guests. I highly recommend it!

    Stable and comfortable bed, with shelf, night light and power socket. In a dormitory there are a toilet room and a shower room, both with basins, and there are extra bathrooms outside the rooms. No queues at all. The best shower I've ever seen in a hostel. Big and safe lockers. Towel included in the price. In general a good and clean hostel, it looks like a hotel converted to hostel.
