Great Hostel for mature travelers! Great Staff! If they only had a kitchen it would almost be the perfect hostel.

Breakfast, staff, location, facilities, and hostel special offers and advice were all amazing. It's located right next to the duomo and close to everything you would want. Unfortunately it was low-season so the free daily aperitivo/hang out time at the hostel wasn't well attended, but I would imagine that in the high-season it would be a great atmosphere. Thanks for everything! This is truly an example of a great hostel.

Had an amazing time at the Academy Hostel in Florence. This is the second time that I've booked here and it was well worth it. Got amazing restaurant reviews from the hostel staff.

I really enjoyed my stay at Academy Hostel. Firstly, the location was great, not even one block from the cathedral and within easy walk from most of the attractions. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The lockout time between 11am until 2pm for cleaning didn't really affect me as I was out during the days anyway. Safe lockers in the rooms, clean dormitories and lovely kitchen. Definitely recommended!

was a really good place to stay, near to every thing and really easy to find. The Staff's were nice and also the room, the bathroom of our room was separate from the dorm, but that was not a problem!

Very nice hostel. Organized, clean, very close to all you will probably like to see in Florence. Single beds and good lockers. Computers for guests, kitchen. I would recommend and would come back.

It's a really nice hostel, we have a mixed 6 room and it's extremely clean and the location is absolutely great. 10 mins walk from the train station and 1 mins to the church. You could walk anywhere you want. They have a very big locker to keep your belongings.

We stayed at this hostel for 2 nights. The staff were very friendly. They had drinks & snacks each night in the common room for all guests. They were very helpful in booking a tour for us. The room was clean. The hot water system was a bit strange, at some times of the day we struggled to get hot water. Also the hostel closes between 11am and 2pm so we had to wait outside until we could check in. It didnt really affect us during the day as we were out and about during those times.

I really enjoyed my stay. The free food/drink is good on an evening as it helps get people together & socialising although it seems to run out fast. It's a clean hostel with good facilities in an excellent location. On the downside, the staff weren't rude but at the same time they weren't anything to write home about.

A lovely hostel in a great location. Bright, clean and friendly. The dorms were super spacious and the free aperitivo was a nice touch, and a great way to meet people
