Ostello del Chianti Reviews

There were no bikes as they promise.

really enjoyed this place, super clean, and QUIET! if you want to rest and relax this is where to go --- do not expect partying. I'm giving this place 100% - my rating is showing the character and fun which again, is basic and there is no loud drinking games at this place. one of my favorite spots in tuscany!

Good for a relaxing holiday :)

we read the reviews thinking there was some interesting things and vine yards to visit, but we were unfortunate in arriving to the hostel at 11.05am and finding reception closed which throws off your day a fair bit. We were also dissapointed when we ordered a deluxe double room and ending up in a room with 2 single beds and a bunk bed. Pushing the beds together didnt give the best nights sleep. but if you can pass by that then sure the country side is very nice and good to see.

Very peaceful setting. The staff were very kind and understanding.

Too long a list of complaints to put in under 500 words. Most important, the reception is CLOSED from 11am-4pm every day, meaning you can't check in in between those times. We had to wait, along with 10 other travelers, and when the owner finally showed up, when we asked why we weren't told of us this daily closure, we were told "if you don't like it, you can go somewhere else." Hostel is a 1 hour bus ride from Florence (NOT 30 mins), nothing to do in this town. Very boring hostel. Go elsewhere!

I loved this hostel. It was centrally located in the small town of Tavernelle. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. Very clean hostel. Definitely would stay again!
