Central Hostel

  Carol J. on 27 December 2011 

We traveled as a family and booked a private, 3-bed room. Our room was very large (due to its odd shape) and was on the ground floor. To enter this hostel, you have to walk through what looks like a driveway and then enter through a courtyard. It took a few mins to uncover the staff person since there weren&'t too several individuals staying at the hostel at that time. The sheets were clean and our private bathroom was average. the shower curtain didn&'t reach the floor so water tended to get everywhere (hence the mop and bucket within the bathroom). We didn&'t mind this since everything functioned correctly and we had hot water. Overall, the place needs to be spruced up/decorated with a fresh coat of paint, but it is a excellent budget option for the location. Compared to other hostels we stayed at in Italy, this one felt the least like a true Italian experience simply because of its unconventional layout and decor. We traveled in May and there might have been one other group staying there at the time, but it was very quiet and we didn&'t have any street noise. Slow web access was offered through one old computer within the common areas. The location was excellent, within a brief walk to all the attractions we wanted to see. A laundry washing mat and grocery store were just a block or two down the street.

This delightful, quiet, clean hostel is a 2 minute walk from the train station. It has a tranquil interior small noiseless garden, a small kitchen, and also the elderly individuals that run the hostel are charming. Their English is highly limited, but they keep the hostel immaculately clean. This is NOT a hostel for hard-drinking loud backpackers. I recommend this hostel to anybody who seeks a noiseless location with excellent location, very low rates, kitchen, and cleanliness. Extremely suggested for its tranquility in an amazingly convenient location.

Mario was pretty and extremely funny! It has a small courtyard which means you get to meet everybody we found it extremely sociable. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. Its a brilliant location equidistant from the train station along with the town centre. No more than a 5 minute walk either way.

Good location to everything you need. Quality coffee from the dispenser for only 60 cents (). Free internet, kitchen facility, location to dry laundry.

Nothing, the property owner was incredibly rude, we had booked a double ensuite room and on arrival the property owner shouted down from a window that they were full several times ahead of coming down and stating there were no rooms and he had no booking for us despite our deposit. Other people in our dorm room we maintained to negotiate into said they had had a similar problem. There were bed bugs inside the beds and the shower only worked by sensor meaning you had to dance and shower at the same time. The owner was incredibly rude and once we left we found an fantastic other hostel in florence. DO NOT STAY HERE!
