Considering the very cheap price it is the one of the best accommodation in Florence for backpackers

Room filled by a big bed,the desk was almost completely covered by a tv and the chair was one and for luggage more that for sitting on and using the desk.

The window was partially covered by the closet's shutter ,if it was open and on the other side by toilet's door.The toilet was narrow, without bidet.The water from the point in which there was the shower went out,in the room,even if a line of tiles bordered the threshold.

Old building which is not comfortable. Not very close to the city center, takes 30 min to walk (5-6 km to he city center).Bad service and staff. No wifi anywhere in the hostel. Staff is weird. Gercekten korkunclu bir kari var kesinlikle karsilasilmasi tavsiye edilmez.

Good place for the price. 10 min walking to Railway Station and downtown. The staff (or owner, do not know) was very friendly, warm and helpful: she gave me city maps and directions on how to walk to the tourist area.

The place is quiet day and night. They give you the key and you have the freedom to come and go when you want.

The bedroom mine (the top)had a refrigerator and air conditioning but I do not use it, then I do not know if they worked. One drawback is that the ceiling is very low: it is necessary to take care of the head.

There are details to improve as the handset from the shower

This is a lovely place to stay. Just a 15 minute walk from the centre of Florence.

Our room was lovely and very homely.

The owner was lovely and nothing was too much trouble.

well,the owner is a nice lady,but during the 3 days of our stay, no cleaning at all.and remember, no breakfast.by the way,there is a huge difference between the rooms,carefully choose one,ours may be the smallest and most noisy one.

I think, that`s the nice place to stay in the centre of Florence. Very cosy hostel with good staff. But there is no kitchen.

a bit far from the center (20 min). Be sure to give the right time of arrival if you don't want to be yelled at.

No towel or toilet paper in the bathroom don't forget to bring some of own.

This hostel is in a good position for sight seeing, however it is very close to the road and very noisy when you are trying to sleep. It was also a very hot room and could do with a fan. Otherwise it was an enjoyable stay.

BUGS! There were dead misquito bodies plastered all over the walls. There was a definate misquito problem and there was nothing done to prevent it. It was so bad we woke up in the night slapping them off our bodies and had to buy a misquito repeller!

A little bit far from the center, but not too much, the room itself was nice, in a nice old building. There is not really some staff staying there, so you have to be careful and give your arrival time in advance. The room's sewage disposal was defective, which caused some flood...

The room is nice and cosy , Location is great,10-15 min from the very city center by walk and 5 min by bus.Parking w/o problems under Pers.Palace-paid between 8-20(1Euro-1Hour).Nights are free if you got a spot. !!! be aware - that you need to arrive at the time which you entered as estimate time of arrival to avoid 2 hours waiting for the landlord(He does not live in the building)!!!. In general we were very satisfied. Thank you.
