The experience at this hostel was beyond exceptional! The staff's warmth and eagerness to assist truly made a difference. The thoughtful inclusion of free towels and water added a nice touch to the stay. Engaging activities and a meticulously clean environment made the atmosphere vibrant and welcoming. The festive Christmas decorations and unique design created a charming ambiance. The delicious coffee and the convenience of an in-house restaurant were definite highlights. Moreover, the bustling bar with its lively events and diverse guests added an exciting dimension to the stay. Undoubtedly the best hostel experience I've had yet, leaving me eagerly anticipating my next visit!

Absolutely convenient, modern and clean hostel. Check-in was fast and easy, staff seem to speak multiple languages and were always helpful, forthcoming and very friendly. As a solo traveler with considerable social anxiety, it felt like a safe and comfortable place to return to. Unbeatable for the price, in my opinion. The rooms have separate bathrooms for shower and toilet, there's a hair dryer in the shower room, and the beds were comfortable and provide a very decent amount of privacy due to having some cover around where the pillow is (+ they have a USB slot for chargers and a small light built in behind the covered portion). All the furnishing was modern, sturdy and clean. Staff also clean the rooms daily. The communal kitchen is very sparsely furnished, but it has a big fridge and a microwave, which is all I really needed for my stay. There is a guest laundry room as well, although I didn't use it or check it out, so I can't comment any more on this. Even though the hostel is located directly opposite a train station, there was barely any noise from the outside and I didn't hear any noise whatsoever from the hallways. It's about a half hour walk from the Duomo and a 15 minute walk from a bunch of nice places with street food. The lobby is very spacious and clean and the bar offers food and drink at average prices. They also allow you to store your luggage in a locked room that only staff have a key to, even after you're checked out! Wifi was very good, both on the rooms and in the lobby.

A perfect place for a stay in Florence. Even if the place is a hostel, has much better accommodation conditions than many hotels. All facilities are modern and clean. You can relax in the common area, which is full of comfortable chairs and lounges. Breakfasts offer a very wide selection. And the place is not so far from the close city center, so you can go there by a walk. I can totally recommend this place!

The best was Mónica, the host. She is one of a kind. She is the heart of the hostel and makes you feel at home as soon as you are at reception. You are offered a snack before checking in (free of charge!) My friend and I stayed at a female dorm. The hostel has a separate area just next door for all the female dorms. Therefore, you feel like home when staying there. There are two toilets with a shower (really clean), a kitchen with some free food for your breakfast. This may include eggs, yogurt, bread, tea, orange juice and more! Also, there is some pasta and tomato sauce you can use to cook dinner free of charge! This was amazing! Beds are comfortable. It is like sleeping with your sisters because there is no way to avoid one another haha, but you need to be respectful.

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.
