Φλωρεντία Hostels

"I would give this hostel a perfect score if it weren't for its location. The living conditions are ideal; the beds are even more comfortable than those in a hotel. The only issue was that the air conditioning was too cold and couldn't be adjusted, making me feel a bit chilly at night. The staff were very helpful, and the lobby was clean and cozy. However, this hostel feels more like a hotel than a traditional hostel because there's no communal kitchen. You can use a card to operate the washing machine and dryer, though. There's a study area, and it seems you can even book yoga classes and other activities. If, like me, you prefer to stay closer to the city center, this might not be the perfect choice, as the nearby bus route 17 is often delayed or unreliable. But if you prioritize a comfortable living experience, I wholeheartedly recommend it."

"Well located hostel. The bunk beds are great, feels like each is a single bed and you barely disturb other guests. It is also within a convent, just on the back of a church, quite a peculiar (positively) place."

"I traveled as a solo female traveler, and unfortunately, only one out of three nights was peaceful. I want to warn others about several management and safety issues I encountered here. On Trip.com, only mixed dorms were available.The platform lists two types of 6-bed dorms: one explicitly labeled 'Mixed Gender' (which I booked) and another generic '6-Bed Dormitory Room' without any gender indication. Since there was no 'Female-only' option, I assumed these were essentially the same thing. I ended up alone in a room with three men, which felt quite unsafe and intimidating. My sleep was constantly interrupted by loud neighbors and the person in the bunk below me shaking the bed all night When I requested a move to a female dorm or a more balanced mixed room the next morning, the staff was unhelpful. They claimed they couldn't move me because I hadn't booked through their website, even though female beds were available!! They initially demanded I pay the full price again for the next two nights. After contacting Trip.com support, the hostel still refused to cooperate. Eventually, a more reasonable receptionist helped resolve the issue peacefully. On my last night, a large group of school students arrived. They were incredibly loud, and it took over an hour after ”quiet hours” began for teachers and staff to finally calm them down. Be aware of this. Cleanliness: Rooms are relatively clean. Self-Service: You must make your own bed, which is very difficult if you are assigned a top bunk. Extra Costs: Towels are not included and cost 1.9€. Payment: They are strictly card-only. Pros: There is free hot water at reception, a luggage room, and the location is conveniently close to the Campo di Marte station. If you are a solo female traveler, be aware that management might prioritize profit over your safety and comfort :)"

"Facilities: I was quite surprised by how large this hotel is; it has two buildings, a pool, and a gym. However, it's essentially set up like a youth hostel. The room had a balcony, but it was connected to the adjacent room, which meant a lack of privacy. Environment: It's located by a road, with a bar across the street that stays open quite late. It can get a bit noisy with young people gathering there. Service: Check-in is after 3 PM, and check-out is at 10 AM. You can't check in early if it's outside these hours, and there's a charge of 3 euros per piece if you want to store your luggage after check-out. Cleanliness: Generally acceptable! It was cleaned daily. Florence isn't a large city, so most places are within walking distance. It's very close to the Central Market, which is convenient for grabbing a bite to eat."

"About an 8-minute walk to the nearest metro. The surrounding area isn’t very pleasant—quite dirty, with views of homeless individuals from the window. The lobby and room were overly scented, and the noise insulation was poor; I could clearly hear neighbours closing their doors—the sound was so loud and close that it felt like someone was opening my own door—along with traffic noise from outside."

"The staff were incredibly helpful and patient, truly outstanding. The water pressure and temperature in the shower were excellent, and the hairdryer was pretty powerful. This Ostello Bello's bar being connected to the accommodation can get a bit noisy, but they provide earplugs which helps. I stayed right above the bar, and while there was some noise, it wasn't too disruptive. And even though there weren't curtains on the beds, it was still fine."

"The location of the hotel is decent — it’s close to a bus stop, which makes getting around fairly convenient. However, it takes about 20 minutes by bus to reach the city center. One of the highlights is the lovely courtyard outside, which is a nice place to relax. The room I stayed in was generally fine, but the privacy could be better — it felt a bit exposed at times. That said, the cleanliness was well-maintained, with regular housekeeping. Overall, it was an okay stay."

"The expectations were worse, but it turned out to be a cozy place, but spoils night sleep a terrible air conditioner, the hotel administration needs at least to put it on a rubber carpet that would deafen the vibration, it was very loud, lived in a female room, it was not overcrowded, It was comfortable, on the recession at the check-in is given white lingerie clean, towel 1 euro, 5 euro collateral, big dining room and kitchen, the guests wanted positive, mainly youth, location excellent, very many places and in one supermarket building, do not need to go far for the products, photos of the rooms correspond to the reality"

"Our stay was incredibly comfortable and easily the best value for money on our trip. Everything about it was fantastic. The front desk staff were exceptionally warm and friendly, providing genuinely thoughtful service. The check-in perks were a real treat: we received a complimentary welcome drink on arrival, with a choice of alcoholic or non-alcoholic options, and free pasta every evening, which was a delicious bonus. The room itself was spotless and well-maintained, with brand-new, complete facilities, making for a very pleasant stay. There's also a convenient water dispenser in the public area on the first floor. Transportation was a breeze. The tram stop is just a minute or two's walk away, and it's only two stops to the train station, saving us a lot of time and hassle getting around. The hostel's common areas are well-designed, with both indoor and outdoor dining and relaxation spaces, and you can order food on-site. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, making it easy to meet fellow travelers from all over the world, which was a great social experience. Considering the accommodation quality, extra perks, and excellent location, I highly recommend this hostel."

"I booked this on my way to Florence. It's a beautiful and convenient place to stay with all facilities. Elio , Matteo and everyone at the reception has been very kind and helpful. Elio moved me from mix dorm to Girl dorm. Very kind. You can have coffee and cook your own meal. You can store your luggage and roam around after checkout. They help you with recommendations. Overall I had a very warming experience. I wish to come back again. Bathroom and bed was very clean & made up everyday. Absolutely worth the money and more than that the staff was really good. Only they don't have lift but hey you can climb. ✨"
