Quiet and clean place, and we had a pretty big room. Trying to get into the place was a little tricky, you basically have to ring the buzzer 14 times until the host hears you and comes up from another floor to let you in. Also, they took the remote for the AC (we had it for one day, then it was gone the next) and it was pretty warm in the room. Otherwise, stay was good.

They only spoke Italian and did not understand Spanish or English. However, the room was great, except that instead of 5 beds they had 3 and pull-out couch and trundle bed and the shower was very small and I could not figure out how to change the temperature of the water, so my shower was either freezing cold or boiling hot. Great location though, right by the train station and practically a straight path to the duomo and pontevecchio

Great price. Just i didn't like the fact that the private bathroom was located outside the room. Besides that, great location and friendly staff.

the rooms are nicely furnished, our room (no 5) even had a balcony with view on the dome, the private bathroom is not in the room so it doesn't really make sense to pay extra for a private bathroom, the location is great, parking difficult and expensive (al least 17€ for night, far away from the hostel), nevertheless we would come back

An amazing location, and really nice little hostel. The only downside was the lack of common room, but I still managed to meet some lovely people. The staff are so nice, and the balcony has a view of the duomo. It's close to everything, easy to find, and generally a great place to stay!

Perfect location with walking distance from central railway station and to other tourist attractions but since the area is now under renovation (June 2008), the entrance is behind scaffolds and a bit hard to find. Be prepared to carry luggages up to 3rd floor with no elevator. Rooms are spacious, clean and in nice settings with view of Duomo! Free internet, microwave and fridge are available. Owners are around only from morning to around 1.30 pm but they are helpful and quite caring.

Very good overall but the sheets smelled like a wet washcloth and the noise from the restroom and people using the computer kept us up at night.

We actually stayed in a room in another building, in via Guelfa 75, at the Soggiorno Maria Luisa; it is linked to the Locanda Daniel. Rooms were large with ensuite. Communal area to chill, tea, coffee and light food. good value and only 3 rooms there.

It was a great value for the price given it´s location. It doesn´t have the hostel feeling to it, more like an apartment floor that was converted to a small hotel. Enjoyed my stay, the only thing is the water for the shower is not completely consistent, BUT you do get a sink in the bathroom.

Ottimo posto molto carino molto pulito e confortevole. vengono messe a disposizione frutta e tè in modo gratuito così da potersi fare uno spuntino. sicuramente consigliato.

very good and safe place; it's very quiet so it's not for fun. I recommend it for cleanliness and position. just 10 minutes to reach the railway station and the city centre. If I will come back to florence I will choose it again

Its really well located, the staff is really nice, its really clean, secure and nice enviroment.

The only bad thing is that there is no lift so if you have heavy luggage you will suffer.

This hostel was excellent. Great location near train station and easy to find. Owner welcomed us and gave us useful information about Florence. Room was comfortable, clean and had tasteful decor. Internet free in corridor on old computer. Luggage storage unattended. Only problem was that the bathroom marked private for the use of people using the double room was being used by guests paying for the dormitory. Suggest giving a key to the people who pay more for the double room so that it is fairer.

Overall, thoroughly recommended.

it´s ok, it´s clean, and it has a good location. The only thing that i didn´t like it, it´s that is in the 3rd o 4th floor and doesn´t have elevator (for people to have heavy logagge)

Nice location, basic student hotel, free internet on one computer was very nice. Ask for a room with the balcony facing the duomo, not the noisy street side. Thanks for a good stay!

Clean, free internet, nice bathrooms, friendly and helpful management, pretty convenient location. Staying in the co-ed dorm rooms was a fun way to meet new people. Advertised to have A/C but did not work. No common room for socializing or TV but had books in English that guests could borrow for free. Directly across the street from a grocery store.

Staff have been very nice suggesting us place where to go to have good breakfast / dinner (the little restaurant few meters down from via nazionale is amazing!! ) and helped us in booking reservations for the uffizi. The position is really convenient, very close to the train station (you can park your car outside florence and take one of the many bus that simply bring you to the station, we parked in via baracca 3 days for FREE) and all the touristic attractions are reachable by foot. It a pity i overheard one of the staff memebers complaining about visitors that don't leave tips.. i wonder what they imagine to receive from people who choose them to save money.... P.s. Florence is EXPENSIVE!! :) byeee

Great hostel,very clean, great location. The woman who runs it is very sweet and helpful. Would totally recommend staying there. Only drawback is if you get there after 1:30 to check in it presents some problems.
