Fantastic breakfast options especially with it being free. Hearty dinner choices for only 3 euros. Very happy with dorm with ensuite.

Right near the station/Doumo/everything, yet still on a quiet side street. Building(s?) is super cool, with great open areas for eating and chatting. Free wi-fi in rooms! Provided computer didn't work, but we had a laptop. Morning tour is a great way to get your bearings. Go on the blue tour to find the best gelato in Florence! Breakfast was great (french toast, egg sandwiches!) and cheap, heaping pasta plates for dinner. Would definitely recommend if you want to meet cool people and chill

This hostel is pretty big, with lots of corridors and rooms. They have a hostel "restaurant" on site, which makes tasty and affordable food (got my dinner for 3.50 euro).

Actually it was a good place to stay in relation to the price. The staff was good and it was well located, but it was full of very young people who loved running through the corridors all night long, so thats made the night a little bit hard to sleep. The bathrooms were not as a clean as i would have liked to find.

WiFi was down during my stay but there were 8 computers in the common area that had internet access. They had both a washer + dryer, €3 each but they also give free detergent. The rooms were big. Was in a 6 bed mixed room and each bed had it's own outlet. Breakfast was decent (at least hot and made to order), dinner was really cheep/good. Walking tours were great! Bad: No AC and it could get loud in the garden at night. Got bit by fleas (or bedbugs?!). Luggage room could be more secure.

We liked the place and great location, unfortunately our roommates were very inconsiderate and messy with the bathroom.

This is my second stay at the Archi Rossi and I enjoyed this time just as much as the last. This place has the best free breakfast you could ever have!!! They also offer a cheap dinner that is pretty decent. Very clean hostel and a great outdoor space for chilling out. Not much of a place for a party but definately close enough to the bars if you want to go.

archi rossi was really great. the location was really convenient to the bus and train station, but it took apx 10 minutes to walk to any sights in the city. free internet was great + prob the best free breakfast i've had at a hostel. my only issues were that the fan in our bathroom was so loud (it went on automatically when the light was turned on), that it woke me up. there was also not an option to turn on a bed reading light, so anyone coming in late had to turn on the main light.

Archi Rossi is located in central Florence very near the train station. It has a wonderful courtyard with grape arbor which makes for comfortable al fresco meetings with friends while you are there. Good place to land while exploring the art treasures.

Overall I think it is a good hostel. There was a big selection for breakfast. Beds were good, internet average. I liked having a personal locker and a computer in the room. Location is great! It is super close to the train station, which is why I booked it, and within walking distance to all the tourist attractions. My only complaint is the shower. There was rarely warm water and the water pressure was very low, so it took a lot longer to wash your hair.

Very clean and secure rooms and bathrooms with lockers and good door locks. The location was within walking distance to the train station and most of the city sites. The staff was very friendly and helpful, explaining all of the details of the hostel. The food sold in the kitchen was very good and affordable. Bonus - Elevator. Area for improvement - security of the bag storage area.

This hostel is deceptively large - would never guess from the street - with a garden, rooftop sitting area and indoor dining hall. That being said, it is large and accommodates many guests. I stayed in an 8-bed female dorm with en suite bath (1.5ba) and there was a separate shower room down the hall. Free breakfast is extremely well organized and free WIFI was not sluggish. Cheap college dorm type dinners and lots of restaurants (budget and not) all around. And very clean!

Is it a hostel?, because I felt like if I had been in a Hotel five stars, Thank you guys for all, especially to Angela. Do not think twice to choose it as your hostel in Florence.
