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.
