The 4 Best Hostels in Florence (Updated 2025)

"About 12 minutes from the main train station, YellowSquare is a semi-newly renovated hostel that organizes lots of activities (cooking classes, wine tastings, homemade pasta) and has a rooftop swimming pool in summer plus a beautiful courtyard. They run a fully operating bar, a self-service restaurant, and a kitchen; beds come with a reading light, an electrical plug, and a locker (you need to bring your own lock). There are no privacy curtains, but the beds are comfortable and the showers have good water pressure — it’s a great choice if you want to party and meet a lot of other travelers." - Matthew Kepnes
