Florence Dance Hostel and Guesthouse Reviews

Agree with other females saying Rolando was over the top. I felt uncomfortable at times although he is definitely a very nice and generous guy. You need to be clear about your boundaries straight away. There were also some people who we didn't know and had no warning about who cooked for hours in the kitchen and didn't speak English (they apparently worked there) making it so we couldn't enter.

This is the most worst hostel i have ever stay!! the staff were no respect at all, and the shower sucks too. and there is one strange guy were sleep on the couch when i wake up the day after, it's so weird. and the roommates were very noise all night long but no one stop them and keep the voice down! the worst worst hostel i have ever have!!!!

Good value for money. Free wifi, nice big rooms. Only one washroom although the place is small so it didn't turn out to be a problem. The staff are pretty much never there and there's no front desk, so you need to take the initiative to meet people (altho the trusted independence by the staff is kind of refreshing). Excellent location, a stone's throw away from the duomo and right by the train station. No lockers so keep your valuables on you. Overall, a pretty good basic hostel.

The hostel was in a good area, the owner is so funny and very helpful! Would definitely recommend - right near the train station to so perfect if you're traveling by train.

The hostel was ideally located by the San Lorenzo market and the train station. With only one bathroom though, it was a little tricky if someone locked the door while showering and no one could use the bathroom. No lockers and though the doors to the rooms lock, other hostel mates left our room unoccupied and open several times. Rolando is great! Friendly and extremely helpful with navigating the city. Great value!

Small sign on the bell, so difficult to find first time, 3 floors of steps, no elevator, owner is not around alot, so make sure you give time of arrival, place gets cleaned each morning, wat is a good thing, also checkout is 11am. Owner is not italian (i think domenican republic) and extra friendly and social with the ladies.

The staff seems a little too much interested in those who are staying in the Hostel. (Sometimes you may find it too much.) But overally he is very kind!

Wtf, from 10 am to 5 pm you cant be in the hostel! so after i had a good night out, I HAD TO SLEEP IN A F******* PARK, . Owner is pakistani or indian, not sure, and extra friendly and social with the ladies..

Not enough place

Rolando is seriously creepy and inappropriate, he spent the whole time hitting on me and asking inappropriate questions, he needs to learn to be more professional! So wouldn't recommend this place to girls travelling alone! Great location, close to the train station and the city sights. Free wifi and free breakfast. No cooking facilities in the kitchen, no laundry facilities.

Friendly staff, easy to locate, VERY clean (I think it's the cleanest hostel I ever seen!!) and close to bars, markets and the main train station. Can't think of a better place for this price!! (Drags: no elevator - if you have mobility problems; noise of the bars in the street - witch may be a good point if you wanna hang out!)

Good value for money. The owner was very helpful, but the rooms and bathrooms just aren't very nice. Wifi is solid. Its a very small place so its fine for sightseeing and then an early sleep. Location is pretty good. Its not an expensive place buti ts not exactly amazing. Worth it though.

We had doubts about this place. But it's in the middle of the via and it was so easy to go (or from) there. It was so cheap so we thought there was no breakfast but it did! If you're three people and you care about your privacy-not to stay in dorm- this place is perfect for you! Owner was so friendly that he gave us maps and showed important places. Excellent experience we had.

It's very centrally located and within walking distance both from the main train/bus station and the major sites, and. However, staff is kind of strange and even rude at times. This was the only hostel I'd ever seen where the owner would come in and speak to another guest loudly while everyone in the room was sleeping! The place seems kind of shady, and usually unstaffed, even during the day, so don't forget your key! There's only one bathroom for some 15 residents.

It's worth yr money, if you just want place your tired body to take some rest after long way done.

The location was amazing, and for the low-cost it was good enough. The staff were absolutely bizarre though, not friendly or helpful. The last day I was there they were literally kicking numerous people out, not just for the lock-out, but telling them they could not stay that night?

The hostel is located really near Gallery Accadey where we can enjoy the real David (~4mins walk). The guy who rent the bed ireally tryes his best to make my stay comfortable. The only thing about him is that his English is a little bit hard to understand, but, ok, u're traveling, not staying hostel whole time to talk to him, so, no problem. I'll definitely return since the price is really good , value for money!

great location, near to the centre and station, very clean, great atmosphere, very nice staff

The worst youth hostel I've ever seen (il was better even in Naples or in Bulgaria...). No locker, old beds without comfort (the bunk beds are so low that you can't sit on the lower bed, only lie down), no place to stay out of the bedroom, only one bathroom with a shower which doesnt' work very well, the kitchen can't be used to cook... It doesn't seem to be an official hostel, because the name is scribbled on a little paper sticked above the bell.

Simple place, rather clean and confortable.
