We stayed there for 3 days. They only give you a bed. The place is located close to pubs, so it is a good place to go out, but it gets noisy pretty much every night and no measures have been taken to prevent that. The up side is that the beds are comfortable and you can use a fridge. There IS free wifi but it gets disconnected at exactly 11 pm.

We had a private room for 2 people. Very helpful staff which showed us the best places to go in town, depending on how much time you have in Florence. The location is amazing, a short walk from everything. It is loud sometimes at night due and we could clearly hear people outside talking, but I was still able to sleep well. Overall, I would recommend this hostel if you are looking for a good place to sleep which is clean and has good security.

We booked a private room with bathroom and we stayed there for 2 nights. The host was pretty helpful and everything was good. We really liked the decoration of the room and it fitted with the whole Firenze style. The heating didn't work that well and it was all cold during the night and in the morning. We didn't have breakfast there maybe because we didn't ask. Anyways, I would recommend this place as it is very convenient to go around in downtown Firenze.

The hostel is very nice and is located near many attractions. Alex is also very nice and he is willing and able to answer any questions about the city or where things are located. The beds were nice and the bathrooms are clean. You have to pay for the hostel in cash when you get there and have to travel a little while to find a decent bar.

Localização perfeita. O proprietário e a funcionaria Adriana não medem esforços para o bom atendimento. Pontos negativos: a falta de informações básicas por escrito (interruptores, campainha, horários, etc)

+++ Great location in the center of the city. ++ Friendly staff. show you the important spots/map (not a problem if you have prepared your trip). + no curfew = Room was ok / no major issues = narrow stairs - A little bit noisy
