Set only 450 metres from Santa Maria Novella Train Station in Florence, My Friends provides accommodation with free WiFi. Florence's Duomo Cathedral is 650 metres away.

Classic-style rooms all provide air conditioning. Both private and shared bathrooms include free toiletries.

The receptionist was extremely kind and helpful. She gave me a map of interesting sights and good places to eat at and was ready to answer any of my questions. I booked a 4 bed dorm and was placed into a 3 bed one, which I see as an upgrade. The hostel is very small, which is nice, as it is not too noisy. You can use the shared kitchen any time. There are croissants, cookies, cereal, milk, eggs, pasta and red sauce. You can eat whatever and whenever you like. Location is great, 10 minute walk to the main cathedral. Air conditioning worked no problem, same goes for WiFi. You are provided with a free towel, soap and shampoo. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom.

Hostel Archi Rossi is in Florence’s historic centre just 250 metres from Santa Maria Novella Train Station. It is within easy walking distance of all the main tourist sites, including the Uffizi Gallery and Florence Cathedral.

I loved the aesthetic of the hostel. The room was spacious, the bathroom was clean, and the receptionists were all very accommodating! The hostel is centrally located between the main train station and the main tourist attractions that Florence has to offer. There are fast food and fine dining restaurants, convenience stores, and souvenir shops nearby.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This is the most beautifully designed, well kept, fun and in general - best hostel in Florence. The price is good for the standards of the city, which means that anything cheaper won’t be worth the money. Apart from that, there is a free welcome drink and lots of other free goodies during your stay. However, the kindness, the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff is priceless. This all results with a great social connection between all the guests. I highly recommend it!

    Stable and comfortable bed, with shelf, night light and power socket. In a dormitory there are a toilet room and a shower room, both with basins, and there are extra bathrooms outside the rooms. No queues at all. The best shower I've ever seen in a hostel. Big and safe lockers. Towel included in the price. In general a good and clean hostel, it looks like a hotel converted to hostel.

    It was very nice for a hostel. I was expecting bunk beds but everyone had single beds and there were only two other beds in my room (plus two in a loft above), one of which was empty. The staff were very helpful and the location was great. I would definitely reccommend to anyone looking for cheap accommodation.
