"Wow – we booked this before seeing any real photos since it’s brand new and only had design concepts online. It felt like a risk at the time, but honestly, it paid off in the best way. This place is incredible and looked exactly like the photos!
We booked a 4-person room (two bunks), and the space was huge. The beds are basically double-sized with privacy curtains, and the room itself had so much space to move around. There’s a bench with chairs, a full-length mirror, large lockers right at the entrance, and the bathroom was spotless, tidy, and spacious.
The hostel itself is so well thought out – they’ve got gorgeous common rooms to chill in, a coffee machine, vending machine, and even a cold water cooler (which is a lifesaver). The washing machine and dryer are completely free to use, and they even offer complimentary room service. Honestly, it felt more like a hotel than a hostel, it was that good.
It’s also in a little complex with shops, restaurants, and cafés, so you’ve got everything you need right there — the perfect spot! The vibe was so good that we actually looked forward to coming back each night… which is definitely not the usual hostel experience.
Highly, highly recommend this place. Location-wise, there’s a bus stop just around the corner that takes you into town with one change, or the metro pickup is about a 10–12 minute walk away. Super convenient and honestly such a win!
100% will be back if we’re ever in Florence again."
"This is a great place to stay in Florence if you’re willing to walk 15 mins to the city center. The hotel is a 2 min walk from the train station which means it’s noisy, but extremely convenient! No hassle dragging luggage down bumpy roads. Just turn a sound machine for some white noise on your phone :) The complimentary breakfast and staff were also wonderful! "
"Great location , close to train and walking distance to all the major historic buildings and monuments. Grocery stores and restaurants around the corner "
"Este hotel nos sorprendió, realmente es una joya en Florencia, muy cerca del aeropuerto y a pocos minutos en transporte público de la estación central. La habitación, el desayuno y el ambiente excepcional, la amabilidad del staff me sorprendió, siempre están dispuestos a ayudar. "
"A very short 1 night stay due to an early flight. Check-in was efficient and friendly. Let us into our room an hour ahead of official check-in time. Shuttle bus turned up on time although EUR15 for a 5 minute transfer to the terminal was too much "
