Comments: Loved the communal breakfasts every morning. Felt very at home. The living room was great, with a lot of music if you just wanted to hang out for a while. Definitely would stay there again.

Comments: Kinda noisy mornings when all the places are taking their rubbish to the streets, and definitely hot with the sun beating down all day long. These are all things Florence, however. Great breakfast served to your room. Free internet when computer is available. Good amount of locker space. Very nice to get much more than your money's worth in a town built on extorting tourists.

Comments: We had a lot of fun at this hostel. Location was excellent... right near the train station, and the rooms were beautiful. Our only complaint is the breakfast... was a bit dodgy, but still did the job... just dont get too excited about it. Definately recommend it tho.

Comments: I loved the fresh colors, which gave the hostel a unique and warm charm. I also loved the place was like a second home, where you could always listen to music, surf the net, eat cake.. just have fun and relax as you would do at your own home.

Comments: great location and very close to the train station. lots of food for breakfast but you should wake up fast for it because some of your roomates might not be nice enough to save you some food. beat them if this happens. just kidding if you're offended. there's 2.5 baths for like 20 people, so organize ur time accordingly. 1 computer with free internet. great place overall. i'd come back cuz it's so close to everything.

Comments: This was a great hostel with fantastic breakfasts every day (including hot cake). The internet is free and works really quickly. The bathrooms aren't huge but are clean and I only had to wait for one once. I had a very unthoughtful roommate who switched lights on and made heaps of noise in the early hours of the morning but otherwise my stay was great.

Comments: WOW Clara is such a wonderful person. Not only does she cook good meals but she is incredibly helpful and supportive. We were trying to find a way to get to Pisa before we went to the Cinque Terra on a SUNDAY... and she sat down with us on the internet and figured it out with us. She is funny with a lot of spunk and takes no crap from anyone. We LOVED IT THERE!!!

Comments: I found it annoying to have breakfast served to us in the rooms (1) because if you wanted to sleep in you really couldn't and (2) because if you wanted to be up and out early then you didn't get any food.

Comments: Great breakfast, as everyone will say. Very close to train station, but still a decent neighborhood. Could do more to encourage socializing, maybe put a tv in the common room or have a movie night or something? Otherwise, perfect hostel experience. Reasonably comfy beds, nice and clean, no lockouts or curfew.

Comments: The first room I was in had no AC but wasn't too hot. The second one did, and that was better. The location was great and the staff was super helpful. The beds are cots, not bunks, which was nice. The free breakfast consisted of crackers. THERE ARE NO LOCKERS.
