Hostels in Tuscany, Italy

This is undoubtedly one of the best hostels I have stayed in in Italy and I’ll tell you what happened. Basically I was quite late to check in and checked in only at around 6:45 pm in the evening and initially the room I was offered had only upper beds left and all the lower berths had been occupied. Gaia at the reception was so kind  she actually looked up all the rooms available and suggested after almost looking up for 30 minutes as to where she could place me as I did not want to sleep on an apple bed she gave me another room which was room number 13 and I had originally booked for an eight bedroom but I paid a little bit extra to get into this four bedroom and I was very happy because the room was speaking span. There was ample space and bathroom and toilet was separate which meant it could be used by two people at the same time, conveniently, especially in the mornings when people are in a rush and the plug points were very ideally placed! I loved staying here and even paid €10 for a very fancy breakfast! I’d love to come here again.

Tonight is my last night in this hostel. I have been here for 2 weeks. The best I've ever seen. Very clean, everything works, many spaces where anyone can find his interest (sleeping, drinking, eating, playing music, taking a bath or studying... The shared kitchen area is well equipped and clean. And they propose a lot of activities. And if you are wondering why the yellow color of the hostel makes you in a good mood. I tell you a secret: It's Simonetta. She is the sun of this YellowSquare Firenze. A positive woman who makes everyone in a good mood every morning in the shared kitchen. She is the sun that gives this cheerful color to the hostel ❤️ The only negative point: I advise you to pay by card ; they have a big problem with the change. But this isn't a real handicap

This was my first hostel experience on my own and it was soooo good! I felt very safe, staff super friendly, the room and common areas had everything you could ever need! Locker in the room was huge... I had enough space to keep all my things safe, but you need to bring your own padlock (maybe the hostel could make that clear on the booking? although I was prepared, another lady in the room was not ;)). Location great, very close to station (but far enough away that it wasn't a problem....), very close to the sites, restaurants and bars. I would happily return to an Ostello Bello! Grazie

I arrived after midnight as my flight was late and Matteo was right there to greet me with a huge smile - which was so nice to see a friendly face after a challenging trip! He made me feel so welcome and showed me around, made sure if I needed anything I would come see him. It felt like staying in a family home. There are beautiful stone flights of stairs up to the rooms (which are beautiful) - but I was not allowed to carry my suitcases up! Matteo and another lovely man insisted they carried them up for me which was so kind of them. Italians really are so chivalrous! I booked a private room with a bathroom. I walked in and was immediately amazed by the huge size! Super high ceilings, beautiful big windows in the bedroom and bathroom that open right out so you get a lovely breeze coming through. I liked sitting on the ledge, drinking my morning coffee watching everything happening down on the busy street below. Every night I slept with all the windows wide open and fell asleep listing to all the sounds below floating up from the city, with a lovely breeze - it was so nice! I didn’t need to use the aircon at all because the breeze was so nice! And the stone building stayed nice and cool. The room was spotless, and so clean, with plenty of fresh towels and toiletries to use. They have daily housekeeping, but I asked them not to worry about my room and I wasn’t there much (I was out all day exploring the beautiful city) There is a wardrobe room off the main bedroom with space to hang clothes and a set of drawers, with room to store your cases as well! It was so nice to have a place out of the main bedroom to keep your clothes so they don’t end up scattered around everywhere! The bathroom is clean and cosy, with a lovely view from that window also. The bed is so comfy, nice firm pillows, huge queensize bed, very clean and comfy sheets, there’s a TV, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. Everything you need for a very comfortable stay! The whole place is just lovely! It really feels like such a traditional place to stay with so much character! It was so nice to come here after staying in tiny rooms in Paris and Zurich. I really like older places that have character and soul and this place has it in abundance! Plus all the staff are just amazing, special mention to Matteo (he worked the night shift) he always greeted me with a big smile and a ‘hello Jodi, tell me how was your day? What did you do?’ He made me feel so welcome and I felt very safe staying there. Matteo also was so happy to recommend good places to see, eat, gelato - he was very knowledgeable and kind. There is a communal kitchen which is handy if you want to cook/heat up something (not that you’d need to as the Mercato Food court is literally a 1 minute walk with heaps of delicious and well priced food options!) there is a drink machine and two gorgeous terraces to sit out in the sun and enjoy your coffee, do some reading or just hang out. There are shops, markets and

This is a newly opened youth hostel, and some facilities are not yet built, such as the kitchen. The location is a little bit remote, about 25 minutes' walk from the center, but it is big enough and clean enough, with a large public area, good internet, a working elevator, and good hygiene. The only drawback may be that the bed is a little low, and the lower bunk will definitely hit your head, so tall people are advised to sleep on the upper bunk.

Nice location, easy to take bus to center, and close to train station leads to pisa. Bigger bathroom than the hostels I stayed before in other countries and cities. Clean, quick checkin

I had a great 4-night stay at the hostel and the staff were super accommodating and friendly. Arrived early in the day and got a thorough tour of the building and facilities as well as a welcome map and some friendly chat and suggestions. Both staff members I spoke to had a very easy-going and natural manner that really made you feel welcome and the fully stocked kitchen and breakfast options were very generous and a nice touch for the days I had to set off early. Something i wasn't expecting - but was very happy about - was the full change of bedsheets and towels every day. Absolutely brilliant touch and at no extra charge. It's in a great location with an easy 5-10 minute walk into town and only a 3 minute walk to the train station. Also lot's of great dining options in the area too so i never had to go too far to pick up something great. Thanks for a great trip!

The location is good, very close to the station. There are many restaurants nearby, including Chinese restaurants, and the prices are quite affordable in Italy. Although it scored a full 5 points, the internal facilities were average and overall lackluster.

Location is optimum and it's walking distance to all the monuments and hang out locations. I stayed at the hostel during July and it was extremely hot, the air-conditioning was good but it couldn't keep up with the heat of a Florentine summer. The building is a old commune and inside is like a rabbit hole, can get a little confusing and compared to other hotels I've stayed it's very out dated. Perhaps works well for school groups. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful with anything I needed at the hostel and also information about Florence.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Re-Dama Hotel. The location is great, you can walk to the centre (30 min) or take the tram (4 or 5 stops). The breakfast is fantastic, lots of options and everything is fresh, good coffee machine. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, one of the days we had an excursion very early in the morning and they made a little bag with items for breakfast for us, it was great. The rooms are basic but you are out most of the day, overall it was a really good stay. There is also a supermarket a block away, which is very convenient. Highly recommended if you visit Florence.

The location is good, very close to the station. There are many restaurants nearby, including Chinese restaurants, and the prices are quite affordable in Italy. Although it scored a full 5 points, the internal facilities were average and overall lackluster.
