The units at the hostel come with a seating area. YellowSquare Florence provides some units that feature a safety deposit box, and all rooms have a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer. All guest rooms at the accommodation include air conditioning and a desk.

Going to this hostel was one of the best experiences I ever had. Being in a place close to the center while it is designed beautifully and clean is something rare.From the moment I got there the crew was extremely nice and always willing to help. They organized activities for us like karaoke night, a pool party and trivia night which helped meeting amazing friends for the journey and for life. Being there feels completely safe thanks to the fact that each individual has a locker, a safe box. The bathrooms are supper clean, the locks work perfectly and it is one per room so you have privacy. If you like clubbing but don’t like walking at night then don’t worry because there is a club as well as a bar and even a community kitchen if you want to prepare your food. By the minute you get there you feel as if you’ve known the people for a while already, the vibes are great and you enjoy an amazing vacation thanks to the amazing crew who cares so much and the guests who are open for meeting people.

With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and a hairdryer, rooms at the hostel also have free WiFi.

The part that exceeded my expectations has to be more explicit to give you an idea of how the hostel and its employees have one of the nicest approaches towards the customers. I stayed on Christmas Eve night in Ostello Bello. A dinner was prepared for the clients who were staying on that day who were involved in a cosy atmosphere with little gifts on whose names were written. Besides the professionalism of the staff, it was well-organized. Last but not least, the lady with glasses ensures your stay with complete kindness and cuteness...

All rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Each room is equipped with a coffee machine, while some rooms are equipped with a balcony and others also offer city views. Guest rooms include bed linen.

Overall, I used the accommodation very well. When I first arrived, I was a little embarrassed because I didn't know where the entrance was, but I found it soon. Even though I didn't tell the host my check-in time in advance, he came quickly and helped me check-in. Also, I stayed for four nights, slept very well, and I was able to enjoy my trip to Florence. I was worried about the heat because I visited in the hot summer, but it was best to be able to turn on the air conditioner fully. If I visit Florence again when it is not summer, I am willing to stay in the same accommodation again.

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.

    Probably one of the worst hostels I ve ever stayed. They literally have 1 plug for the entire room (4 bedroom dorm)! How can this be on the 21st century?? Luckily I had an external batery, otherwise my trip would be totally ruined. Also the hostel is old, lockers dont work properly and the location fel unsafe at night.

    My stay at Plus Florence was excellent. The staff was really friendly and helpful with everything I needed. The hostel was clean, safe, quiet and even I didn't had time to use them, with many extra things to do on your free time. Breakfast is really worth the money, if you really want to be full in the morning! It was also close to city center, walking was fine every hour of the day, there is a bar across the street and a super market half minute away.

    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.
