My family stayed in the 6-bed room with private bathroom. The entire building is newly renovated, and opened for guests in June 2025. Everything was spotlessly clean. The room has three bunk beds, the beds are very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. Two toilets (one separate and one in the bathroom) are great for six people. Good sound proofing of windows. The location is quiet. Bus no. 17 stops ~10 min from there, and goes to Piazza San Marco. Taxi to the city center costs 25-30 EUR. The check-in was smooth. Personel at the reception is friendly and ready to help with anything you need. There's garage in the same street, in the neighboring building. We had a roof box higher than 2.1 m so we had to park on the street around the corner. Look for the parking places marked with blue rectangle and pay using Easy Park app, or by card.

The staff was super friendly. They are trying to not only offer accommodation but also build a community. There are events happening every day where you can meet new friends or just sit in the common area writing your journal. The decoration is young and fun. Shout out to the free water and free pasta! I stayed in a 4-person room and it's quite spacious for a hostel. It's extremely clean and facilities are new. I joined a creativity event before leaving and made my first-ever friendship bracelet! If you mind people snoring, you might want to reconsider staying at a hostel at all. The location is great. You can walk to the town in 25 min or take a tram at a stop 3 min away.

All hostels in Florence

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.
