Location is good, but Florence is a small city either way. The top bunk was squeaky and rattled the whole bed whenever I made a small movement. I was provided with a sleeping bag for bedding... But it was dirt cheap, you get what you pay for. Kitchen and bathroom was nice.

This hostel felt like an apartment. It was small and the reception was downstairs so It was nice to have a place where you could feel a bit at home. Good kitchen and it was nice to meet people in such a small environment.

There are not 24h reception, no lockers for the baggage, and if you need to keep your stuff at the hostel during the day (after check out) you need to pay. Except for this problems, I would recomend the hostel because it's very cheap and very well located!

I really liked this hostel, it is very central and the dude who runs it is really nice. Although it could do with a free walking tour or a free breakfast to make it cooler, but I'd definitely come back here.

I really enjoyed staying at Maison. The host was very friendly, he gives you a map and marks all the things on it that you might want and need. It is also in a really good location. The only negatives are that there are lots of stairs and the wifi was a bit iffy at times.

Excellent location, kind and helpful staff. Though wifi did not work, everything else was good enough for this price.

I really recommend this Hostel, is near the train Station Santa Maria novella and of the main attractions. The kitchen is great and the bathrooms are very clean. The beds is a little bit old, but that is fine.

No elevator, too many steps to climb up. Initially booked a 5-bed dorm room but they gave us a 10-bed dorm. Only one dim light for a 10-bed dorm, quite dark in the room most of the time. Not enough power point to charge Don't be surprise if you come back with your luggage missing, staff will hide your luggage on your last day in fear of you running away and not paying them. I find this nonsensical & totally weird! Love the toilets though, really spacious and clean!

Just a couple minutes away from il Duomo on foot and around the corner from the leather and food markets. Fantastic location, good facilities, adequate kitchen and pretty spacious rooms. The people that run it are also great - very helpful and friendly, perhaps the most exuberant welcoming I've received. I'd definitely recommend it, and would love to return on another tip to Florence.

The location is very good. Very close to all the main atractions and the train/bus station. However the rooms were not good. The beds were too soft, the room had poor lighting and very little individual lighting. The guest kitchen is a plus. However, there is no breakfast. Not even if you pay for. You have to find somewhere in Florence to eat. Another downside is that there is no lift, and there is good three flights of stairs to get to Maison since the building does not belong only to Maison.
