I absolutely loved this hotel! It’s just a short walk from the city center, with public transport stops nearby, so getting to the train station or airport was super easy. The hotel is stylish and cozy, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. Even though check-in is officially at 3 PM, they let me check in before 11 AM — such a nice surprise! The breakfast was amazing. My room had a terrace, everything was clean and beautifully arranged. Thank you!

This is probably the best hostel I ever stayed in! I was in the female part of the hostel, the rooms and bathrooms were cleaned every day! This is not a fancy place, but a place with a character that matches the Florence vibe. The staff were so wonderful and helpful! Big thank you to the owner and the girls at reception for being so nice and giving advice on what to do, where to go and what to see in Florence! :) There is free food in the kitchen, pasta, croissants, bread, jam, etc. You have various options for coffee. You can leave your luggage and use the bathroom in the main building if you are leaving late on the day of your checkout. Everyone is so nice and friendly! The location is perfect, just 8-10 minutes on foot from the main cathedral. I cannot recommend this place more to any female traveler! Thank you all again for a wonderful stay! I'm looking forward to coming back again! ❤️

Exactly like the pictures. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and I close to staying inside enjoying the hostel instead of venturing out to see more of Florence. Yes it’s that beautiful. The staff were really nice and helpful. You have big lockers in the shared bedrooms. I didn’t take a shower there as I was staying only one night, but if you intent to shower there, then don’t forget to bring your own towel. They do have bedsheets. It is so close to everything! The trainstation is about 7minutes away and everything else is also only 5-10 min away (BY FOOT!) If I ever come back to Florence the Hostel Archi Rossi will definitely be my first choice. Thank you!

All hostels in Florence

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    We were initially hesitant about staying at a hostel but it was actually great. The bunk beds were clean and comfy. The staff was nice and helpful. It would have been great if there was a hook in the bathroom to hang towels or clothes. But otherwise, good stay. There are lockers to store your luggage safely as well.

    The property is situated in a very quiet part of Florence. If you like to walk, it is the perfect hostel for you as it is a good 20 minute walk from the centre. It has complete facilities for both work, leisure and long stay. It has a coworking space, a bar and pool, and locker storage/laundry facility. Best for backpackers, students, and people on a budget looking for a cheap accomodation.

    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.
