I really want to give this hostel an excellent rating because it was. Everyone went out of their way to help with anything and everything. The big problem was that I was in a room near the street which made for a horribly noisy room you felt like cars were running you over and I didnt sleep a wink. Other... More

Booked this expecting amazing things after reading on here. In fact we could only get 3 of our 5 nights in Firenze here, so we started at Archi Rossi/Mia Carma, which were MUCH better. Had a private room, double bed, but was actually two single beds we pushed together. Location was ok, the north part of central florence. Not bad,... More

It is cleanest hostel in Florence. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent. Very good proportion between price and quality. It does not needs more words to describe advantages of this hoestel, because it's excelent! If you want to visit Florence - stay here.

I was here mid-August this summer. The place was well maintained, the rooms were cleaned every day. The breakfast was awesome, they even have a Batista making you your choice of coffee. I'm sorry but I forgot the name of the guy at the frontdesk, even the lady Batista during breakfast but they were both very warm and friendly. Everything... More

I thought that I was being harsh on this hostel, but am pleased to see that other recent travelers have had a similar experience to me. As in recent reviews, I stayed at the hostel in August and the weather was VERY hot and this impacted greatly on the quality of my stay at the hostel. Good points: Friendly and... More

What can I say.. the staff were really lovely, the breakfast was amazing and they put so much effort into it and take such pride (I loved all the little advertisements on the walls and room doors 'dont forget the amazing breakfast'. Location was ok although I found it a little random the hostel had one floor of a building... More

I stayed here in early August and this review is probably best applied to summer travelers. Not sure how this hostel lives up to its "best hostels" rating... but perhaps because it had been rated so well, I expected too much from it. First, the walk from the SMN train station with luggage took definitely more than the advertised 15... More

We loved staying at this hostel! The staff made us fell very welcome and it made our whole experience in Florence enjoyable. Our double was very spacious and even had a small balcony outside with a table and chair. The beds were comfortable, though it got pretty hot at night (no AC, just a fan). The bathrooms were super clean.... More

I stayed at Ostello Gallo d'Oro for half of my time in Florence, and had there been vacancies, I would've stayed there the entire time. The staff was helpful and especially knowledgeable about not only Florence, but day trips into the nearby countryside. Matteo was very helpful with getting me oriented to the area and other staff members gave me... More
