My Friends

I loved staying here and felt right at home. The place was calm and quiet. I really enjoyed sitting in the courtyard. The host was beyond kind and helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure I was supported. She helped me find the right adapter to charge my items and loaned me one in the meantime. She had a great sense of humor and made me feel comfortable. I can't thank her enough for the great hospitality. I also made a great friend here.

High standards of cleanliness and well-maintained facilities. The room felt fresh and have air conditioned.

Limited dining options within the hotel itself.

The amenities of the place are nice and its close to the train station as well to many nice restaurants. Florence it's super walkable so you get to everywhere in les than 25 min walking.

There were a couple of things I liked: The location is very close to the train station (2/3 blocks away) The kitchen has some amenities that you can use for free (expreso machine, corn flakes, pasta and tomato sauce) The staff is friendly and provides recommendations on places to go or how to move around. You can store your luggage for free after check out and if you arrive before your actual vheck in time you can storage it with them until exactly check in time. They give you towels for no additional cost.

The price is a bit higher than standard I believe that is because the amenities they offer for no extra cost but you end up paying for them on the high fare, I discovered there are more options at a cheaper price. This is the most strict hostal I have ever been in terms of check in and check out, there is no flexibility at all in terms of having an early check in. There was a guy who arrived 20 minutes before the actual check in time and they didn’t let him get in the room until 3:00 PM . I believe that is nonsense if the bed is empty, ready and clean why would they won’t let anybody have an early check in? There is a city surcharge that they basically force you to pay in cash and it is 4€ a night, the bad thing is that they never state in their post that it needs to be cash only. Which seems to me very old fashioned considering you are paying a higher fare already for the place being a hostel and not giving the opportunity to pay by card. You can pay even in a shop 4€ with a card but not here. The vibes in general are very old-fashioned. It is not a social hostel at all. There is no 24/7 reception either.
