All rooms at the hostel are equipped with a seating area. Each room is equipped with a coffee machine, while some rooms are equipped with a balcony and others also offer city views. Guest rooms include bed linen.

Overall, I used the accommodation very well. When I first arrived, I was a little embarrassed because I didn't know where the entrance was, but I found it soon. Even though I didn't tell the host my check-in time in advance, he came quickly and helped me check-in. Also, I stayed for four nights, slept very well, and I was able to enjoy my trip to Florence. I was worried about the heat because I visited in the hot summer, but it was best to be able to turn on the air conditioner fully. If I visit Florence again when it is not summer, I am willing to stay in the same accommodation again.

    This is the most beautifully designed, well kept, fun and in general - best hostel in Florence. The price is good for the standards of the city, which means that anything cheaper won’t be worth the money. Apart from that, there is a free welcome drink and lots of other free goodies during your stay. However, the kindness, the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff is priceless. This all results with a great social connection between all the guests. I highly recommend it!

    Stable and comfortable bed, with shelf, night light and power socket. In a dormitory there are a toilet room and a shower room, both with basins, and there are extra bathrooms outside the rooms. No queues at all. The best shower I've ever seen in a hostel. Big and safe lockers. Towel included in the price. In general a good and clean hostel, it looks like a hotel converted to hostel.

    It was very nice for a hostel. I was expecting bunk beds but everyone had single beds and there were only two other beds in my room (plus two in a loft above), one of which was empty. The staff were very helpful and the location was great. I would definitely reccommend to anyone looking for cheap accommodation.
