Great place to stay. Walking distance from the station and easy to find. Then walking distance to all the great things in Florence. Comfy bed, room size good and plenty of cupboard space with a desk and chair too. Shared bathroom was tops. Would recommend this to my friends,

 Kenneth Dubin  -  12 November 2009

This place was one of the best places we stayed at during our trip through Europe. The rooms were big and clean and the staff was very helpful with many maps in the lobby. While we didn't use it, they have a laundry machine in the lobby and dvds to borrow from them to watch in the rooms. They also have wireless internet available and a computer to use for the guests. Highly recommend and will definitely stay there when in Florence again.

Very friendly staff, internet access, cooking facilities and washing machine available. Good location close to bus and train stations and the town centre. It is on the third floor with no lift though. Would recommend!

 Customer Review  -  8 November 2009

We loved the facilities - the map, the computer, the bulletin board, the water kettle, the kitchenette, and the available food. Everything was wonderful. The staff was warm, helpful and very patient. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will be back again in the future!

 Customer Review  -  7 October 2009

While this is not a place to meet others (only private rooms), the location right near the train station and friendliness of the gentleman who received us was well worth the stay. When we arrived he helped us to get a reservation to the Uffizi for the very next morning and also called his brother to get the low-down on a Fiorentina-Liverpool Champion's League soccer match that was going on that very night. He showed us where we could go buy tickets to the match only hours before kickoff. The wifi was easy to use (some other hostels have complicated instructions) and the room was big, clean and comfortable. Highly recommend if you are looking for a private ensuite room in Florence!

 Customer Review  -  25 September 2009

The hostel has an excellent location with a couple of really good restaurants in the same street and is closeby all attractions, the station etc. Preferred Room 1 although it is a shared bathroom to Room 5 which is very dark and claustrophobic as it has no proper window.
