Yellowsquare Hostels

YellowSquare Hostels is a dynamic and design-forward hostel brand rooted in the heart of Europe’s most vibrant cities — combining the social buzz of a hostel with creative communal spaces and modern private accommodations. Founded from humble beginnings in 1999, YellowSquare has grown from a small apartment offering a few beds to a full-scale hospitality concept driven by travel passion, local culture and community.

With locations in cities such as Rome, Milan, Florence (Italy) and Athens (Greece), YellowSquare places you right in the action — ideal for travellers who want more than just a place to sleep.

What you’ll experience

• Sleek dorms and thoughtfully-designed private rooms, all equipped with air-conditioning, key lockers, and modern amenities.
• Vibrant communal spaces: from bar and lounge areas to live music stages, coworking zones and even on-site salons in some locations.
• A strong focus on community, events and social vibe — whether it’s themed nights, tours, workshops or simply sharing meals and stories with fellow travellers.
• Commitment to inclusivity and sustainability: initiatives like safe-spaces for gender-based violence awareness, free water, sustainability workshops and creative reuse events.

Who is YellowSquare for?

This is the ideal choice for travellers who want:

• A lively, social environment that encourages meeting others and participating in the local scene.
• The flexibility of a hostel (dorms) with the comfort of modern private rooms.
• A central location in major cities, with access to both culture and nightlife.
• A stay that feels contemporary and community-oriented rather than purely “budget”.

Things to keep in mind

• Dorms allow guests aged 18-45; travellers outside that age range are required to stay in private rooms.
• The brand’s lively vibe means that if you’re after ultra-quiet, secluded luxury, this may not be the perfect fit — but for energetic, experience-driven stays, it’s strong.
• Because many of the locations are in prime urban areas with full amenities and active programmes, the price may be higher than the ultra-budget hostel tier.
