Hostelworld says

Santa Monaca is one of the oldest and historical hostel in Florence. What make Santa Monaca recommendable is the amazing staff that run the place, the great central location in the traditional Santo Spirito quarter. For real backpackers who enjoy simplicity and history combined together this is the perfect place. Built in a Church frame this was an ex convent, you may be lucky and attend at one of the music event run in the annexed ex-church. Also what make this place special are Ida and Giuliano who are always trying to help every customer making you feel at home.

Older style, a labyrinth of stone corridors, good facilities - own locker (bring a lock) men's and women's bathrooms in separate areas, shared kitchen and common area, and a literal opera through the wall each night from the theatre next door.

Overall this hostel was great. We only stayed one night but the staff was very accommodating and we felt safe. We did find it a bit hard to find but once we got there it was wonderful. Theres a great local restaurant around the corner and it's close to bus stations.
