Liked: Kitchen facilities were excellent had everything we needed. Clean and tidy. And Monica, lady on reception, was immensely helpful with everything from using the internet, sending a fax and recommending a local pizzeria! Thank you!!!

Disliked: Our room was on the road so was noisy and we had no air con just a fan, luckily it cooled down but could be a major problem in the summer.

Liked: The lady on the front desk was very kind and helpful. The rooms were clean, air con worked and bathrooms were clean.

Disliked: This hostel had potential to make our stay a lot better. We were only there for one night. Everything was clean, beds were comfy and air con worked well. Although in our room none of the main lights worked, some of the power points did not let you insert the power cord in and for some reason there was no hot water at all. And the lift was not operational which sucked!!! I would recommend this place if these small misgivings were fixed.

Liked: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Disliked: Upon arrival to this Hostel, I was not only tired from the walk (as it was described as much closer than it actually was) but when my friend and I came to check in, THERE WAS NO BOOKING! They said we were not booked with them and upon the third time the desk worker called his manager, they still wouldn't take responsibility. I showed them the booking number and the booking fee i had already paid and they tried very VERY poorly to cover their mistake by sending us to a different property about 5 or 6 Kilometres outside of the city centre that was close to absolutely nothing. This hostel was a huge disappointment and I'm very glad we didn't have to stay there as the staff is NOT friendly or helpful and its cleanliness and location suck!

Liked: The rooms were clean and big, everyone had enough space, and the AC was very welcome with the hot summer temperature. The kitchen was also well equiped.

Disliked: It was a bit far from the main places in Florence. The bathrooms were shared and people didn't clean after themselves so it was kind of dirty.
