Loved it.
Super organized friendly staff. Great shared rooms with lockers (bring your own locks!) In clean rooms. There's a huge kitchen which was not very crowded when I was there and they even have a pool. In my six bed room, we had a separate room for the shower and a separate room for the toilet. Both rooms were quite small but sufficient and as clean as it could be when used by 6 people a day (always depends on the people 😉).
Very functional. Excellent value for money. I stayed last year and again this year. Superior double room. Essential but comfortable. Nice swimming pool and sauna. Very strategical location for Florence. 10 minutes walk from the central station S.M. Novella and from Fortezza da Basso. 10 minutes to the downtown. Sparkling atmosphere inside and at the bar. Parking facility around the corner. Ideal for essential people. (no frills) 😉
The hostel is huge with lots of people of different ages. Rooms were nice and clean. The facilities were clean as well. There are 2 pools and a bar but no kitchen to cool stuff yourself. Overall it was enjoyable
Plus Florence is such a lovely place. It has a great location close to the centre of Florence and the rooms are well kept. The roof terrace is brilliant with the hostel being one of the highest buildings in Florence and the pool and poolside bar are superb too. With freindly staff and excellent facilities this is a fantastic place to stay.
Very large hostel with well equipped dorms including a clean and up to date ensuite as well as towels and a large lockable cupboard for each bed. There is a swimming pool and gym facilities available but I didn't use these so can't comment on quality.
The down side has to be the bar/restaurant area which seemed very quiet each time I poked my head in so I would recommend going out to the local bars to meet other travellers
Nice hostel, clean and modern rooms. Staff helpful and friendly. only negatives are. very squeaky beds. even slightest movements cause a racket. also constant banging of doors closing (other rooms) throughout building would cause shudder.
Overall, I liked the hostel. I even had a bed that wasn't part of a bunk bed (big plus!). The hostel is the largest one I have even gone to. It feels more like a hotel with dormitory-style rooms than a hostel. I had only two concerns. One, the bathroom seemed a little dirty, and it may have had small traces of mold. I didn't want to look more closely at what those dark spots were. Other than that, everything seemed clean. Two, the location is pretty good, but not as outstanding as I thought it would be.
Can't recommend it highly enough. Rooms are a good size and ensure. Staff are very helpful and very welcoming. Food in the resteraunt is comparatively cheap with an all you can eat buffet breakfast for 7 euros being particularly good. All in all much more like a hotel than a hostel.
Plus Florence is a very clean and well run hostel. There is always security at the door checking each person as they enter to verify that they should be staying here. The location isn't too far of a walk to the center of the city. However, if you prefer to ride the bus, the bus stop is just around the corner. Overall, I would recommend this hostel as a good place to stay while visiting Florence.
The hostel was amazing for the price. It has a pool, sauna, a terrace, a restaurant, and it's in a fantastic location. Walking to all the main tourist attractions only takes 15/20 minutes.
The room was nice. The bed was squeaky, but that's par for the course in hostels. An issue with a light switch was fixed in a matter of a few hours.
All in all great service and courtesy. Would definitely recommend it to everybody.
