Hostelworld says

We like that PLUS Florence offers so many onsite facilities to guests, including a swimming pool, restaurant and a bar that guests have praised for being ?lively and colourful?. This hostel is located in the northern part of central Florence, near Santa Maria Novella train station and a short walk from the rest of the city. Hostelworld travellers have frequently said they appreciate the ?incredibly helpful and friendly? staff.

What a great place to stay if you’re looking for a cheap option in Florence. I paid about $190 for 5 nights and it was beyond worth it. There’s a pool, breakfast/dinner, laundry, and a rooftop with a beautiful view. If you have the chance to stay at PLUS Florence, do it!

This hostel was great! Like a luxury hotel, very clean with large rooms and extra large lockers. Can’t say much about the atmosphere as I spent very little time at the hostel itself but facilities were wonderful. The street it’s located on isn’t the nicest but very close and easy to get to the train and the more beautiful side of the city is just a few streets over. Recommended this to a traveller I met heading into Florence and would definitely stay again.

decent hostel, location not bad abouta 15 min walk to the station and central florence. for such a big hostel i felt they should have better cooking facilities than just 2 microwaves... staff were nice. too many school aged children staying for my personal preference but that could just be the time of year. great rooftop bar/chill out area 👌

PLUS Florence says

I think the best aspects to our hostel are the extra facilities, such as the outdoor swimming pool in the summer, an indoor pool in the winter, a sauna in winter, and great bar and restaurant. How many backpackers can say they stayed in a hostel with a sauna and a pool? The hostel is ideally located, with The Academia only a short walk away. The Duomo is also really close to us. No visit to Florence is complete without visiting the Uffizi Gallery - remember to book early to avoid the queues. We also have theme nights such as toga parties in our Opera bar and restaurant. Don't miss out on our cheap drinks during happy hours! We have a mix of ages staying in the hostel, with most travellers in the 18 - 40 age range. I personally find that it is very easy for travellers to meet others and congregate in our hostel. Finally, we have some specific rooms for people with disabilities as well as elevators and ramps that are always available if needed.
