I had a great 4 night stay at Archi Rossi. It's beautifully decorated with painting and sculptures. Big dinning room, garden with fountain, terraces, great atmosphere, perfect place for meeting other travellers. The 4 bed en suit room was quite compact but was OK for just 4 ppl. PC in the room was very helpful as those downstairs were always busy in the evening. Breakfast and dinner menu had a lot of choices and everything I had tried was great. Saved me a lot of money from eating outside.

The staff was really rude. Apart from that the hostel was average.

I stayed in room #10 which was absolutely freezing!!!! When I asked the front desk about the heat the staff member replied that he could not turn the heat on and there was nothing else he could do for me

It is one of my favorite hostel. The place is safe, clean and stylist. Staffs are cool, kind and friendly. although there is not the kitchen for guest but they provide good breakfast for free and good dinner in cheap price. The location is relative far from the attractive sightseeing. But florence is small city, I can walk from hostel to everywhere in 15 min. And internet is free for 24 hour of staying. Their free city tour is a must join.

Really great hostel- free hot breakfast with a menu! 5 min walk from the train station. Very helpful and friendly staff. We had a private 3 person room with a TV, computer, and huge private bath to ourselves- nicest room we've had yet. Staff recommended a good restaurant for lunch. A lot of families and older people were staying at this hostel- so pretty quiet. Staff also offers a free walking tour of Florence and a free map with all of the main spots to hit in Florence.

Good clean, spacious, and well run hostel in a great location. Had a bit of a YHA feel to it though - most guests were quite young (18-19), just out of school, and very loud/annoying. Breakfast felt like being on a school camp - you waited for your number to be called while siting on cafeteria style seats. But the food was great! Can you possibly have a non-smoking area in part of the garden? It's the only place the internet works and isn't pleasant to sit out there with that smell!

Excellent location close to train station and main sites. Quite a large hostel so if you were a solo traveller and wanted to meet people could be hard although so much to see in Florence not really an issue. Breakfast was good, free walking tour and lockers in the room. Showers weren't the best the water being lukewarm. I would stay again.

I loved this hostel! It was so cheap but felt more like a hotel. Really clean rooms and bathrooms and you get your own locker in your room which was fantastic. Laundry available on site, free wifi and a computer in each room, also you can buy food and drinks including wine and beer in the lobby for super cheap. You get an amazing free breakfast every day and they have really cheap massive dinners every night. They also have two free walking tours of the city which were awesome.

Theyre so nice here, and super helpful. I would definitely suggest the free walking tour and the free breakfast was GREAT!!! The location couldnt be better, its close to the Duomo. The staff is very knowledgeable and recommended a great restaurant, Aqua al 2 (it was the best meal in Florence). There are computers in each room and free wifi! There is also a cafeteria with cheap food and wine in the lobby. It was basically the best hostel Ive ever stayed in. The only bad part was renting towels.

My Stay there was very good. I have no complaints. The hostel might want to think about repairing the showers a little bit. The water stops suddenly in the middle and then starts again.

Great location. 5 minute walk from the train staion and close to old town. The hostel is well run, clean, nice outside courtyard, large dining with breakfast included. You can also order meals at a good price. The decor in the lobby, dining and patio has italian influence. Well done.

I've been around the block a few times and this place was really nice. The staff were endowed with good humour and were polite (they laughed at my lame jokes). Nice and clean. Easy to find. A computer in the room?? even hotels don't do that! I have nothing but good things to say about these guys. Thanks for making our stay awesome!!!!

This hostel although well located was not very clean as there were constantly dirty marks on the bathroom floor and water everywhere. The breakfast although free was of average quality.

Thank you so much for our wonderful stay at Archi Rossi. You're staff is so kind and generous, and the free breakfast was great! We also would like to apologize for that one night we came in late as obnoxious Americans, and we really appreciate your kindness to us. We are beyond sorry for that and we can't thank you enough! My group and I really loved Florence, and we would love to stay with you again!
