Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 8th November 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: Extremely cold at night, had to use more than 2 blankets...doubt about the compulsory charge on bedsheets and shower!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 15th September 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: Little appartment with only one bathroom. Excellent location near the Duomo. Everything is walking distance. If you are kind with Vincenzo, he will give a lot in return. Kitchen with kettle and fridge. Close to market, internet,... I recommand this place. Downside : a litle extra you need to pay for linnen!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 30th October 2008 Couple 18-24 2/5 Comments: Very bad staff, they charge extra for linen and SHOWER ( yes for shower, in very center of Florence), and that wasn't written on hostels.com, it was only on trav.com. When we complied that extra charges are not shown on hostels.com the member of a staff logged in and copy-paste those info from trav.com. And then he said : Look now! He was even so "nice" to explain us why he charge extra...because he in that case he doesn't lose 10% of deposit (he earn extra 30 cents per person per night), but all the guests who reserved via hostels.com didn't know for extra charges. We stayed there for only 1 night so extra 10$ didn't ruin our budget but i can only imagine how surprised were budget travelers who stayed longer... BTW. extra for linen is usual, but extra for SHOWER is seen only in mountain huts!!!!!! Beside that there's SAFETY...NO KEYS in dormitories....and there are moment when nobody is at reception...so someone can enter the room and leave it with all your staff. So i wouldn't recommended this hostel, further more i strongly recommend hostels.com to STOP WORKING with DAVID INN

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Sweden 14th October 2008 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: no internet, no breakfast. But nice, clean rooms, good location and nice staff.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 13th October 2008 - - 2/5 Comments: the staff in the reception cannot speak english, and the kichen has no fire, there is only one bathroom for the whole people there, always a long team to wait.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 29th September 2008 Female 25-30 1/5 Comments: the worst hostel I've ever lived.... the location is the only strongpoint. The boss charged more 10Euro for shower and bet-cover after my arrival, and he took tips without my permission automaticlly when he gave back my changes....There is no hot water on 2nd day... the bed and cover is smelly....there is no chair or any desk in the room....in short, it should be the last choice in Florence....

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 4th October 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Make sure you realize that there are two sets of street numbers in florence - commercial and residential. the hostel is about 2 and a half blocks farther from the first red number that you see. its a little confusing and their english is not that great.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 5th October 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: Location was amazing, and they were very accommodating about letting us switch rooms so that we could be in the same room as our friends. However, one staff member was entirely clueless, and made it very difficult for us to check out.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Sweden 1st October 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: It's a nice hostel with good staff. The location is realy good.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 26th September 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Very nice hostel with small rooms, very close to the center and 100m from the Main Catedral. Just one thing is that the night receptionist didn't speak english and didn't understand my poor italian, so I slept without duvet... ;-)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 28th September 2008 Male 25-30 1/5 Comments: Awful place. Unsafe, tiny cramped room, no key, unfriendly, bed bugs, no security no light, noisy. I left two days early.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Wales 15th September 2008 Couple 25-30 1/5 Comments: Doesn't even qualify as a hostel. Tried to rip us off and charge for nothing but fortunately we had reservation and price given already. Staff members very difficult and arguing. Dodgy atmosphere with strange people coming in the night shouting and quarelling with the staff.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 27th September 2008 Female 18-24 1/5 Comments: This hostel is the unlocked unclean and run by people who seem to be on another planet. Both my friend and I were molested by someone staying in the room with us (like he copped a feel), and the overall feeling of the place left a bad taste in our mouths about Florence, which is a hard thing to do because it is a fabulous city! We recommend Ostello Archi Rossi, super close to the train station and all the amenities of a nice hotel for only a few more euro a night than David Inn. Bottom line, STAY AWAY.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 25th September 2008 Female 31-40 2/5 Comments: Dirty, cramped. At least we got sheets - but no one could find blankets at first. They didnt have a key for us until the second day. Head lice shampoo in the bathroom, no shower door. But right accross the street from the Academia and a minutes walk from Il Duomo.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 19th September 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 2/5 Comments: staff not very helpful, Had to leave bags in hallway, it smelt like moth balls.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 20th September 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Very friendly & laidback if disorganised hostel. Don't bother booking through hostels.com - they didn't have our booking when we arrived. There were several free beds so you might as well just turn up. It's also cheaper per night at weekends when you pay directlyand you don't have to pay a deposit that way. The dorms don't lock so put a padlock on your suitcase just in case. The bathroom & kitchen are clean and pretty.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 14th August 2008 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: They had a tv-room with AC, which was grate. I couldn\'t stand the heat outside. And it was dificult to sleep in the heat. Kichen was ok and nice to have sofas to relax. Good lockation close to the trainstation, but it wasn\'t so many pubs around.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 14th September 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: i enjoyed here.......

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 12th September 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: The hostel charges an additional amount of about 3 € per day for the shower and bedcover!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 5th September 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Location was great. Security was an issue as one main door opens into 3 rooms (each with four beds). Anyone can access your things from any of the 3 rooms. The hostel advertised a cheap breakfast at one of the local cafes however the cafe owners did not know anything about the arrangement and hence we paid normal price (which is very expensive in this part of town) - not impressed. Otherwise a reasonable hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Brazil 20th August 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: A small and simple hostel, but with a great location.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 20th August 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: The place is in a good location but that is really the only thing good about this place. The reception is horrible, there where bugs coming out of the sink and the bathroom was never cleaned in the 3 nights we where there. The halls are dark and several people got stuck in the elevator. I would not recommend staying here ever.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 4th September 2008 Male 18-24 2/5 Comments: you will enjoy the extra fees for shower and facilities + 4€

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 12th August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Relatively normal hostel. Good location and some great staff, but some awful staff. The don't take information about their guests which turned bad when my camera was taken, make sure your things are locked up (although the don't offer much for that)
