Hostels in Florenz

Positiv:: The breakfast was the best part. At the beginning I can not believe the place serve such a great breakfast.you and everything.

Negativ:: The bathroom has a couple of problems. First of all it wasn’t clean at all. And second at the time you take a shower all the bathroom floor get wet.

Positiv:: Location, big rooms, nice shower

Negativ:: Mattress could be a little thicker

Positiv:: Super helpful friendly staff. Met some amazing people and made some wonderful friends! Great location in central Florence, staff more than happy to help with any questions! Brilliant for solo travellers!

Positiv:: The location is very nice, near the train station, but the smell was a little bit not good. The breakfast Wes really nice.

Negativ:: The bed was little small, but enough.

Negativ:: It is on a small street which is very busy at night. The bar across the road stayed open until early hours of the morning- lots of noise, people talking and singing in the middle of the night!!!

Positiv:: Nice location- close to all sightseeing places. They have a cute garden on the back side and a terrace. Breakfast was included- quite simple, but good.

Negativ:: They don’t have a kitchen - so you can’t cook.

Positiv:: location

Negativ:: bed is not easy to climb up and down

Positiv:: Breakfast was great. The location was perfect......only a few minutes from the station but in a peaceful courtyard with flowers and no traffic noise.

Negativ:: Beds were a bit soft, but average for bunk beds.

Positiv:: sehr nettes hostel mit super lage! ruhig, mit Terasse und kleinem garten zum entspannen! personal is freundlich, die Zimmer großzügig und sogar ein frühstücksbuffet ist inklusive. funktionierende locker gibt es auch, nur Handtuch muss man mitnehmen oder dazubuchen. ich kann das Hostel nur sehr empfehlen!!

Positiv:: Near train station

Negativ:: The bed is too small and feeling not secured

Positiv:: very good location, right next to the train station (Firenze S.M.) and the old town. A mosquito plug in the room, which is greatly appreciated since I’ve been stung so many times already in the previous hostels on this trip! I stayed in a 4 female dorm that felt spacious and had aircon, but did feel like it had past its glory. It was tidy nonetheless. From all the hostels I stayed in this was the most varied breakfast!

Negativ:: Some hand soap in our shared bathroom would be appreciated!

Positiv:: Das Hostel ist super gelegen. Die Zimmer schön und sauber. Das Hostel hat einen eigenen schönen Garten und Terrasse. Hab mich sehr wohl gefühlt!

Positiv:: One of the best hostel I have visited. Private room had aircondition, own bathroom ja Good bed. Common areas like pool area ja the roofterrace were really nice. Good location near the city centre of florence.

Positiv:: The room was clean and comfortable and the pool area was great just what you needed after a day exploring

Positiv:: Amazing pool, verandas, and restaurant areas. Spacious triple room with many windows and electronic blackout shade. Security guard and nightly activities. Wonderful, filling breakfast. Delicious dinner at restaurant. Easy walk from train station and to downtown. Carrefour nearby.

Negativ:: Only one bed had an outlet near it. No USB ports. Music at bar overwhelmingly loud (perhaps to be heard over fountain near bar) until 11pm, even at higher floors. This is too late as many day trips begin at 7am at a meeting place further away in the city. Unfortunately, smoking is allowed in outside area/near pool. Security guard was over-zealous. I (a small female) was constantly approached, even when coming from inside the elevator area, when I lingered to wait for my traveling companion or a cab. Key card controlled elevator area and a security guard around in case of actual trouble should be enough. Basement common room/“kitchen” was very small, windowless, and often filled with dirty dishes. One refrigerator which was smaller than standard size was inadequate for an entire hostel of budget travelers. Microwave only. When people tried to (understandably) sit, work, or prepare food near the pool in the huge, bright, cheery, multi-roomed restaurant (which was never more than half-full), they were told to go back to the downstairs common room, which closed before the restaurant. Perhaps a portion of the restaurant could be used as a common area?

Positiv:: It was my second time staying here in this hostel. Too bad the indoor swimming pool is closed due to maintenance but there is an outdoor pool so it’s ok. I really liked the location. All the tourists spots are walking distance. Near to Station. Near to supermarket ecc.

Negativ:: They dont have flattening iron :(

Positiv:: Der Pool und der ganze Aussenbereich. Das 5 Bettzimmer. Eigentlich alles.

Positiv:: glad to have air condition in the room, but requires room card plug in

Negativ:: Equipments are all old especially bed was old school and shakes all the time, and so as wardrobe.

Negativ:: Bathrooms was horrible smelly

Positiv:: Gute Atmosphäre, freundliches Personal, vernünftige Regeln. Lage: Schnell im Zentrum der pulsierenden Stadt, bei zahlreichen Restaurants und dem grandiosen Dom. Ausspannen am erfrischenden Pool mit guter Musik!

Negativ:: Hängen bleibende WC-Spülung. Wenig Möglichkeiten, Badesachen zu trocknen.

Positiv:: It is not often that I have seen hostels with own open-air pool, pool bar and karaoke nights in one place! Besides, my 6-bed dorm room featured en suite bathroom and air conditioning, much desired at the time of heatwave. Staff at the reception and in bar were very friendly and helpful as well.

Negativ:: Some days pool party kept going well beyond 11 pm, making some noise audible even with closed windows - not big deal for me, but some people find this annoying.

Positiv:: Die Ausstattung ist für ein Hostel super und man kommt gerne ins Hostel zurück, wenn man weiß, dass man eine eigene Klimaanlage im Zimmer hat. Einfach traumhaft :) Freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, und das Frühstücksbuffet ist ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen. Nicht zu vergessen die Rooftop-Terasse mit dem tollen Ausblick und der Pool, an dem immer Musik und gute Laune am Start war :)

Negativ:: Charged extra to store your luggage for 1h!

Positiv:: The property made your stay feel like a luxurious hostel. The outside area, bar and pool were fantastic and you almost forgot that you were in the middle of a busy city!

Negativ:: It was a bit strange having young families an children around yet still a party hostel vibe, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, just unexpected

Positiv:: The hostel was clean, the staff was friendly, they even let me leave my packs at the hostel the day i checked out because i have a night bus back to my next destination. 10/10 would recommend. I stayed at 10 beds female bedroom and every bed has 2 a/c outlet and a locked shelf. But you should bring your padlock with you or you can borrow it.

Negativ:: You have to walk for main sightseings but it does not take no longer that 15-10 mins.

Positiv:: Ausstattung im Zimmer und Bad, Badezimmer, Personal,Lage

Negativ:: Ausstattung Küche, Gemeinschaftsräume, schlechte Luft im Raum und Fenster nur in der Decke...kann man die öffnen?

Positiv:: The location is good. Supermarket is near and the train station is at a walk able distance. The taxi to the airport would cost around 27 euros (I took it in the early hours so, it might be cheaper during the day).However, I would not recommend this place.

Negativ:: The bathrooms with no ventilation and not so clean. The rooms were crammed and not spacious with stinky and dirty small lockers. Even if you are very low on budget please look for another place.

Positiv:: Das Personal war sehr freundlich, alles ist sauber gewesen und die Küchenausstattung ist ebenfalls gross gewesen. Man konnte gut schlafen, die Betten waren sehr gemütlich.

Positiv:: It's a good location. Not too far from the old city, but far enough to escape the tourists. I also liked how close it was to Piazza Santo Spirito; great place to eat and hang out with some alcohol & food in the evening. Also, the room had AC, which I've never had in any hostel in Italy.

Negativ:: My room was above an opera house, I think. We can hear the opera at night like if we were there. This might be a plus for some, but I'm not a fan. Usually ends at 10 pm. Also, I was there during the weekend.

Positiv:: It was not a hostel, it was a castle

Positiv:: It was all very cosy.

Positiv:: Air conditioned rooms, comfy enough beds, and big lockers for your stuff (bring your own lock though). During the evening there are classical musical conserts upstairs that are clearly hearable to the rooms. This could be a plus or a minus, but certainly a plus for me. All in all one of the best dorms I've stayed in.

Negativ:: A lot of self service.

Positiv:: The building was a historical one and I loved how its architecture was unusual. They give clean sheets to everyone for the night and you can rent locks. Beds are pretty comfy, free space in rooms is more than enough.

Positiv:: the staff was very accommodating and friendly with any enquiries. They also offered luggage storage for free which was helpful bc we came way too early for the room to be ready.

Negativ:: I didn’t like the fact it’s a bit far from the main train station (about 15mins walk)

Positiv:: Very energetic. Especially great place if you want to meet new people. awesome hosts, overall a great experience.

Positiv:: Everything! -Personal -Reception -Room and beds -Luggage room with no cost -Lockers -Kitchen -Bathroom

Positiv:: Good location Great staff, super helpful. Any questions u can ask on reception Clean big room Everything was working

Negativ:: Sunday in Firenze is when nothing works, only in center, so keep it in your mind

Positiv:: Quite far from Doumo

Negativ:: The window,it’s very small also it’s quite dark in the room

Positiv:: Personal, sauber

Negativ:: Bett nicht bequem

Positiv:: Location. Helpful staff. Spotlessly clean. Great fresh breakfast.

Negativ:: Nothing...

Positiv:: Price

Negativ:: Shower booth was too small and breakfast is not good but price wise understandable.

Positiv:: Clean, towels were changed every 2 days, tasty croissants, good value for money

Negativ:: Air conditioner worked not properly (randomly switched on/off, changed temperature), small shower cabin, male staff was not friendly

Positiv:: Nice hostel with good value for money. excellent breakfast buffet and super nice staff.

Positiv:: Großes Zimmer, Bad auch sehr groß, freundliches Personal, gutes Frühstück

Negativ:: Boden war nicht so sauber es waren Haare und ein wenig Dreck am Boden. Fön hat nicht funktioniert

Negativ:: This was absolutely the worst experience in my life. Totally misleading, the rooms looked nothing like the photos. It use to be a hostile. I had bugs in the bed, television didn't work, air conditioning didn't work. Strange hair on the bathroom shelf. Maid walked in while I was sleeping without notice. Paint coming off the wall. Bed made from old wood. It was 7ft by 8ft. I immediately tried moving and finally got out after day 2. It cost me for the whole stay AND another hotel. I do not trust the site and especially the hotel. You should not be associated with them.  I will be happy to share my pictures as I will with everyone.

Positiv:: The staff was really nice and helpful, help to show important places to visit and give a city map.

Negativ:: Quite far from Santa Maria Novella, have to take bus/tram.

Positiv:: The staff was very nice and polite. The breakfast was good and it was served on time everyday. The barista was really nice and cute.

Negativ:: This is described as a 2* hotel but it looks and feels more like a hostel or BnB, it doesn't have the features or amenities of what is considered a hotel. We were a party of 2 and there were no more rooms than a 3 bed room available for what we paid more than 700€, it was way too overpriced, but we didn't have a choice because there wasn't anything else available. The bathroom had cheap towels that almost didn't even dry you. The hot shower went off a couple of times in the middle of taking a shower. The towels were not changed in the 3 nights that we stayed. Not recommended.

Positiv:: breakfast was simple, buffet style, but fulfilling location is reasonably close to centre and there are bikes on streets for renting 1eur/20min, which gets you everywhere

Negativ:: very small shower

Positiv:: The front desk staff was excellent. They provided good instructions on how to get to the hostel and detailed directions for getting to the tourist site we wanted to see. Although we stayed one night, they were kind enough to hold our bags after check out so we could explore Florence luggage free. Thank you front desk staff! Super nice and competent at their job. The hostel was easy to find and in a central location.

Negativ:: The beds are uncomfortable cots. It was chilly in the room, which made the bedding feel damp. We woke up a little later than planned and requested to have an extra half hour to shower and change before checking out. The front desk okayed it, which was appreciated however, the information was not communicated to the housekeeper. The housekeeper knocked on our door several times, I explained to her that we were allowed to stay for another half hour to shower. She didn't seem to understand or maybe she just didn't care. She rudely told us we had 5 minutes and left.

Positiv:: close to the station

Negativ:: cold room, arrogant behaviour at check-in

Positiv:: There were Smiling Staff and rooms were clean , and hostel was close to citycenter

Negativ:: Little bit train voice was coming from outside, it could be cut the sleeping at night..

Positiv:: Location

Negativ:: Toilet has no lock Leaving bag price is 2,5 euro

Positiv:: Beautiful courtyard, 2nd floor in the room.

Negativ:: There was no hot water, exactly 2 days

Positiv:: Nice and close to the train station. Helpful staff!

Positiv:: Staff were great and really friendly. Check-in was nice and easy. Easy walk into town and some nice cafes and bars close by

Negativ:: Definitely not a party hostel. The city itself isn't a party destination and it can be a bit quiet if you've had a few beers!

Positiv:: Sehr freundliches Personal, das gerne Auskünfte gibt und auch einige passende Tipps fur Florenz hat. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, Bettwäsche und Zimmer waren sauber, es herrscht eine angenehme Atmosphäre.

Negativ:: Ich war in einem Zimmer 50m weit weg von der Rezeption untergebracht. Mir gefällt mit den Locals zu reden, das passiert wenn ich jeden Tag an der Rezeption vorbei gehe

Positiv:: Great location. First impression wasn’t great but I was in a female dorm and all my roomies were awesome. Staff was great help and comfort of the dorm was good. Wifi was good as well

Positiv:: - Close to station - really nice staff - kind, helpful, Friendly - free city maps - easy to find

Negativ:: -No soap and hair dryer in bathroom -Noisy beds -It's cold in the room -Strange location of beds - you hear the voice of people above you (the climb the stairs and it's not like classical second floor) - Maybe nit the best idea to return there alone at night

Negativ:: The room is right reside the railway, very very noisy till late night. Very old sheets seems not clean and are like from 10 years ago. Broke Bed as many people said. Many mosquitoes at night. Smoke smells.

Negativ:: The bathroom was very dirty (hair in the sink, dirty floor, toilet papet in the shower, someone left dirty clothes on the floor). Everything was discusting. We didn't even get towels (we had to pay xtra 2€ for each). I think you can get more decent accomodation for that money. I don't recommend staying here.

Negativ:: Die Schlüssel zu den Türen haben nicht funktioniert, es war jedes mal ein Kampf zur Haustüre sowie in die Wohnung selbst zu kommen. Einmal mussten wir einen Mitarbeiter zu Hilfe holen. Es gab nur eine Dusche für zu viele Gäste, wodurch es zu langen Wartezeiten kam. Zudem war das Wasser kalt. Das Zimmer war inagesamt in einem schlechten Zustand, so haben zum Beispiel die Fenster nicht geschlossen und durch die verglaste Zimmertür schien immer Licht vom Gang.
