Tommy the owner was a really great cook, he made dinner for everybody. Breakfast was provided early which was convenient. The rooms were accomodating and fairly clean. Location was great right next to the Ponte Vecchio and accessible to all the major attractions and museums.

The only thing I liked about this hostel was the location, but after my experience I'd rather stay far far away from the center of town then at this hostel.

The owner was awesome and cooked really delicious home-style meals for dinner for everyone every night. The rooms were a bit sparse and cold and the beds weren't exaclty comftorable but they were clean enough and pretty spacious. Just make sure to bring your own sheets and possibly a pillow. It was a GREAT location right near everything and, although it might look a bit sketchy at first glance, but it's a really fun place to meet other people. Definitely talk to the owner- he's a really fun guy, great cook, and knows a lot about the city and places to go!

The food that made the onner of this hostel was really nice!!! but we booked in this hostel and because it was full of people we had to go to another hostel to sleep there. However we eat in this hostel....difficult to understand but it was like this. The people that we met there were the funniest!!! and we went with the onner to a bar.

Tommy cooking dinner every night was a great way to get everyone together - we knew everyone in the hostel..!! And the meals were top notch... Main problem was that there was only two bathrooms....

The owner was very nice (thx tommy for the great evenings :D )... You pay 5€ more but get a full breakfast (not just milk and cereals) and supper in the evening....it was great, because the people cooked together and talked etc etc....

Excellent location - right by the Uffizi gallery. The hostel owner was an interesting "character" but i do not wish to comment further as he claims to have sued someone else for a comment she made on a webiste about the hostel and took 250,000 euros from her!

We had such a good stay, the rooms are basic but clean, there are good working hot showers. Breakfast was provided each morning and every night tommy (the owner) cooked us dinner and we all ate together which made a nice social environment to meet fellow travellers. The location is perfect it's in the middle of the city and you can walk everywhere. It's a small hostel but one of the best I've ever stayed at it was like being at someones home, I definately recommend it!
