Central Hostel Florence Reviews from the Web
STAY HERE. I absolutely loved this hostel and the old Italian couple that owns and runs it are just BEAUTIFUL. They're so nice and staying there makes you feel like you're at home. The beds are comfy and the rooms are spacious with plenty of locker storage. The bathroom is fairly good and has good water pressure and working hot water. The only thing was that the shower curtain was too short so a lot of water ended up on the floor, but this is a minor criticism. There is also free wifi and the hostel is in a PERFECT location! Close to everything but isn't noisy at night! And it's really cheap to stay there! I highly recommend this place! And I'd stay there again!

Great location - just a few minutes walk from both the train station and the Dumo. Free Wi-Fi, however this only worked intermittantly. Kitchen facilities were basic but satisfactory.
The owners/operators were polite to me, however they did not seem very organised. They didn't have any details of my booking and didn't know how many nights I'd booked for, the price I'd been quoted per night, or how much deposit I'd paid. I had all the information with me so this didn't cause a problem for me.

We traveled as a family and booked a private, 3-bed room. Our room was very large (due to its odd shape) and was on the ground floor. To enter this hostel, you have to walk through what looks like a driveway and then enter through a courtyard. It took a few minutes to find the staff person since there weren't too many people staying at the hostel at that time. The sheets were clean and our private bathroom was average... the shower curtain didn't reach the floor so water tended to get everywhere (hence the mop and bucket in the bathroom). We didn't mind this since everything functioned correctly and we had hot water. Overall, the place needs to be spruced up/decorated with a fresh coat of paint, but it is a good budget option for the location. Compared to other hostels we stayed at in Italy, this one felt the least like a true Italian experience due to its unconventional layout and decor. We traveled in May and there might have been one other group staying there at the time, but it was very quiet and we didn't have any street noise. Slow internet access was available through one old computer in the common areas. The location was excellent, within a short walk to all the attractions we wanted to see. A laundry mat and grocery store were just a block or two down the street.

This delightful, quiet, clean hostel is a 2 minute walk from the train station. It has a tranquil interior small quiet garden, a small kitchen, and the elderly people that run the hostel are charming. Their English is highly limited, but they keep the hostel immaculately clean. This is NOT a hostel for hard-drinking loud backpackers. I recommend this hostel to anybody who seeks a quiet place with great location, very low rates, kitchen, and cleanliness. Highly recommended for its tranquility in an amazingly convenient location.

Mario was lovely and very funny! It has a small courtyard which means you get to meet everybody we found it very sociable. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Its a brilliant location equidistant from the train station and the town centre. No more than a 5 minute walk either way.

Nothing, the owner was incredibly rude, we had booked a double ensuite room and on arrival the owner shouted down from a window that they were full several times before coming down and stating there were no rooms and he had no reservation for us despite our deposit. Other people in our dorm room we managed to negotiate into said they had had a similar problem. There were bed bugs in the beds and the shower only worked by sensor meaning you had to dance and shower at the same time. The owner was incredibly rude and once we left we found an amazing other hostel in florence. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Even though the old man running it doesn't speak any English, he is very sweet and very Italian. Met some great people and the location was great.

The location was awesome. It was a few minutes walk from the Duomo and Statue of David and the River. It was also very secure and provided lockers.

Very good position close to the train station and city center. The hostel is situated also close to the market.
Personnel is helpful and hospitable.
Our rooms was lovely and clean and so was the bathroom. Clotheslines outside the windows. Nice garden. Guest kitchen is situated in the garden.
We could leave our bags to the hostel for the following day.

Good location; terrible staff; dirty The hostel is located within a 5 minute walk of the Florence S.M.Novella train station. That's about the only good thing I can say about it. Other than 24 hour check-in, which involves waking up the elderly couple that runs the place, this place is a huge miss. My 3 bed room has a sickening smell, no lockers, and two middle-aged tenants on extended-stay. Not a good mix of tenants. Very quite and very little interaction with the other guests. — Mike (2011-05-17)
