Plus Florence - Hostel

Genuinely great value, it is clean, modern, and well maintained. One of the better hostels I've stayed at. Highly recommend.

This hostel is in a great central Florence location, within easy walking distance of many attractions. Front desk staff were welcoming and friendly. My private room was very clean, basic, and comfortable enough for a short stay. The atmosphere was very relaxing overall, although the music was sometimes louder than I would have preferred. The bed was not particularly comfortable, which made sleeping a bit difficult. I also had some concerns about my experience as an African American guest. I felt the security guard kept viewing me with suspicion asking whether I was staying at the hostel and requested to see my room key every time I entered, while appearing much more relaxed, smiling and friendly with other guests. Additionally, when I dined at the restaurant, I was asked to pay in advance, and I did not observe other diners being asked to do the same. While I cannot know the intent behind these interactions, they left me feeling singled out and uncomfortable. Overall, the location and cleanliness were strong positives, but these experiences affected my stay.

This is a great hostel. I payed the extra for a private room and it was great.

Wasnt sure what to expect from a hostel but this was great. Triple room with private bathroom was spotlessly clean. Location excellent - 15 mins walk from Firenze SMN train station and the Duomo area. Amenities were great - outdoor pool and bar area was excellent for socialising. Bar prices reasonable. Breakfast was excellent. Cooked breakfast, cereals, continentals etc. great value. Would definately recommend.
