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!

I LOVED this hostel🫶🏽 It has All, yeah!! Friendly and kind attention, Elio and Cristian were so helpful! In addition, the hostel is in the heart of Firenze's downtown, it's possible to just walk around and if you need to take the train or tram it is just a few blocks away! Finally, the place was so nicely decorated, I stayed in a room with a very nice view of the church 😍 Everything is super clean, the hostel shines! The best hostel that I stayed in Italy, 100/10✨

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.
