Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hostel explicitly lists no parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find public options nearby.

“During my stay, I noticed two good things: the database accurately showed the room options, and rooms with four beds near the door made it easy to come and go. Having a private bathroom in the room was also a real advantage for privacy and convenience.”

“The staff were friendly and the room was nice; I really appreciated that the hot water for bathing was hot enough, since the weather was very cold during my visit.”

7Verified guest

“The location was perfect—just minutes from all the cool attractions and hangout spots in Florence. The price was super affordable, leaving us more money for exploring. The staff were really helpful and friendly, and they even let us store our bags before check-in so we could start exploring right away. We had a blast and would definitely recommend this place to our young, party-going friends.”
