Let me say i've never stayed in an hostel in my life. After a very bad hotel experience this was a good find. The owners gave me good suggestions, the room is good and comfy. Of course this is an hostel so it's not that silent but i have to say that the owners do their best to make people...

The positives about this back packer hostel were the elevator (at last, no lugging heavy bags up multiple flights of stairs), the laundry, and most of all the atmosphere, and the warmth and friendliness of Samantha who is the heart and soul of the hostel and the unofficial tour advisor.
Her breakfasts were just wonderful and nothing was any trouble...

Excellent place. We loved the hostel. The service was also very good and we enjoyed the breakfast as well. Location is excellent and centrally located, yet avoids the noise of the tourists around.

I loved the service, the smiles and the helpful tips except the last tip. We were told that we could get on the bus and pay 2 euro heading to the train station. My friend and I ended up being fined 55 euro each on our way to the train station. So the false information put us in a really...

There are so many things about this hostel that make your heart sing, for the 21 day traveling, staying in 7 hostels, this is the best bar none.

From the cappachino waiting for us to the special Easter cake served in the morning, we felt more like guests than weary travelers. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the breakfast in the morning had a...

My friend and I stayed in this hostel while in Florence. We had a room with 4 or 5 other females. I was lucky because every girl in the room was very friendly and considerate of other people. The room was about 28 Euros a night which I thought was worth it. The room was very clean and had a...

This hostel is a lovely place, staffed by friendly helpful staff. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were spotless and the breakfast was good, including excellent coffee. Our only complaint were the bedbugs that attacked one of our party. To the hostel's credit, they dealt with the problem promptly and were very apologetic when we told them, and they left...
