I was genuinely sad to leave Florence purely because I loved this hostel so much. The staff is incredible and I met some really amazing people that I ended up traveling with after I left Florence. The place is clean, cute, and so welcoming. It made my experience in Florence amazing.

Johnathan and Clifford were such wonderful hosts - they made it feel like you were staying in their home rather than a hostel/bed and breakfast. They were unbelievably warm and welcoming and had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat! I have already recommended this hostel to people I met in Rome and if I make it to Florence again, I won't be staying anywhere else.

When I got in I was immediately welcomed by the owner, Jonathan. He was great. He offered me food and orange juice, then he sat down, gave me a map of Florence and marked all the spots of interest out for me with a pen. It was great. The atmosphere in this place was comfortable and social. The free wine at night and the free breakfast kind of made everyday that much more awesome. Loved it there. Will recommend it to others for sure.

I had an awesome stay at Dany House! What set this hostel apart for me was the staff and the warm social atmosphere they provided. From the moment you arrive you feel at home. Every night they had free homemade wine (and plenty of it) and staff came out to the bars with us after. Pros: Fantastic staff, good location (a few minutes walk to most sites but nothing is far in Naples), clean, decent little breakfast. Con: bathrooms.. one combined shower/toilet for 11-13 people was at times frustrating

Fun atmosphere and the owners are great! wish there was another bathroom though, 1 to 11 people is a little tight, otherwise it was a great fun stay with free wine!!

I LOVED DANYHOUSE AND YOUWILL TOO! I Jonathan the owner was the sweetest guy, he made sure we were warmed up(we went during a random cold streak)with hot tea, then explained all the good sites, how much they were and where to eat, n gave us discounts to a really tasty restaurant. Free wine and bites at 9pm every night plus a computer and wifi, we felt at home! Beds were warm and the place was very clean! We ended up staying in one night and meeting fellow hostelers! If I could write more...

Best hostel ever. Met some lovely people and had the best times of my travels sitting around the table drinking free wine & eating snacks. Jonathon is so nice and welcoming and he gives great advice about places to go and what to see, especially on a budget. Clifford was super cool and just hung out with us all night. Best times!

The staff and the hostel are nice except the shower water doesn't goes very well. However, it was a good experience.

Really wonderful environment. Johnathon is fantastic--very warm and welcoming and will give you advice on what to visit and how to get there. Free wine at night is great along with free breakfast in the morning! I really just felt like I was a guest in someone's house instead of paying for a service. They really care about you here!

This is honestly one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The atmosphere is out of this world. There was free homemade wine available to all guests at night (made by the owner´s grandfather). I am not talking about just one glass...pitchers of it. This really created a community feel. The whole hostel was having a blast. I have never meet a better staff at any hostel. DANY HOUSE is great! This is not a place to go to bed early. This is a place to stay up late telling tales from the road.

pros: staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, I will love this city just because of these nice staff! Food offer is more than breakfast:) cons: one bathroom for 2 room of around 10 or 6 beds, so wake up early in the morning! A little bit far away from downtown where museums ect locate but concerning Fierenze is a quite small town this is just a minor con. Beds way too soft for me. Thank Jonathan for the really italian and warm welcome!

We loved DanyHouse! Johnathan and Clifford were wonderful hosts. It was fun to linger over the free wine each night with the other guests. The hostel is on a quiet side street, but within walking distance from most points of interest. Johnathan was a great source of knowledge, he recommended an amazing restaurant we ended up going to three times! We had a wonderful time in Florence, and a lot of that was because of our experience at DanyHouse and where it led us in the city.

Jonathan and Clifford are great hosts and the place has a very relaxed atmosphere. The free wine and nibbles at 9pm every night are a nice touch. Dany House is about a 10 minute walk from the centre of Florence but you'll make that walk twice a day so it doesn't really matter.
