This was an average hostel experience. The place was packed. There was a huge line for the bathroom every morning. Hostel was on the 4th floor with no lift. The host was only there to take our money and then I dont think we talked to him even one more time. This is a great place if you just need to crash on the cheap.I would stay here again if I was broke, but there are so many great options in florence Im not sure I would bother. Usually hostels have such a friendly vibe. Not here though.

Great location and the staff was awesome. It was some girls b-day that day and we even got a couple of wine cups from Tyson (staff) He welcomes you with such a positive vibe that most of us staying there even went out together. I was traveling alone yet met so many people there it felt as if I was traveling with a few of them. One shower would run out of warm water but its what you pay for.

The shower in the bathroom was broken so that you had to hold it - not the biggest of problems just slightly annoying. The beds were comfortable and the people were very friendly. Out of all of the hostels I stayed in in Italy (total of 5) this was my favourite easily!

Convenient hostel in a great location, helpful staff and probably one of the cheapest places to stay at the heart of old Florence. Some rooms are much larger than others (ours -a 10-bed dorm- was a bit too cramped), and there are just two toilets/showers for 50-60 people, so queues are way too long.

Great location, comfortable beds and nice staff. There wasn't w any working heating device when i was there so it can be a little cold in the winter days.

the problem with this hostel is that you cant stay there frome 11-17 because they clean, so you have to wake up early and go away. Dont go in winter, because the heaters doesnt work and you can take if you are lucky a warm shower if not always cold. Location is great but definitly dont go in winter.

Hostel much worse than expected. He was charged a hosting fee (1 euro per day per person) than one's own daily, claiming to be a charge imposed by the Italian tourism, however this rate applies only to hotels with more than 3 stars (research after the stay). Hostel very dirty, with two bathrooms for more than 20 people. There are no heaters and warm blankets! If you want to get another blanket, claiming to be sick, otherwise the staff will not give you! After all, the window of our room was open

staffs are friendly and funny. Every Fri and Sat night will have party which the drink is free to all guests. Bed is clean but with tight space that accommodate 10 peoples. 2 bathrooms available,so if you want to use the bathroom in the morning,better advise to wake up a little more earlier than others. Location is excellent, free computer,wifi to use. Kitchen to cook, and the most important thing is the price-Unbeatable.

Pretty good location. Large rooms. My room had a total of 6 beds, but also doubled as the luggage room, so people were in and out of it all day and there was no lock on the door. The common room also doubled as a bedroom. Hostel hosted a free sangria party that lasted past midnight, with no control of the sound or the rowdiness of the guests. If you want a good night's sleep, this is not the place for you.

It's an old apartment that became a hostel. No luxury for sure or anything resembling a hotel (what should be no problem for backpackers), but I recommend it specially for the location. It's clean enough and they have a (not big) kitchen with a microwave. Sometimes people had to use the ktichen's sink to brush their teeth because the bathrooms would be busy all the time in the morning.
