What I loved most was the location. I spent 200 euros for 7 days, and I was always just 5 to 10 meters away from amazing sights like the Duomo and other attractions. The people were very friendly, always greeting you with a smile. The dining area offers various types of coffee and free water, which is wonderful! Honestly, if I were on a student budget (as I was at the time), this would be the perfect place to stay!

I believe the shared bathrooms in the sleeping areas could benefit from some improvements. While cleanliness is inherently challenging to maintain, I spent seven days in a room with nine other people. It would be advantageous to have cleaning services provided every two days, especially for the floors, showers, and toilets. Although the situation was manageable, those who are particularly mindful of cleanliness should take note—don't forget to bring your slippers! If it’s not feasible for the staff to implement this change, perhaps leaving some bleach in the bathroom could be a viable alternative!

Excellent central location, less than 5 minutes from the train station and many of the top sites. No breakfast included but free tea and coffee available. Large rooms and lockers so plenty of space to store your stuff away securely. Powerful USB ports. Very good reading light on each bed. Bathroom was clean and shower was hot and powerful. Excellent WiFi connection. Friendly atmosphere. Great price too. Overall excellent value for money and I would stay here again!

I would have liked an extra pillow on my bed as you only get one but aside from that no complaints at all!

Best location! Super quick and easy to reach from the train station and right in the heart of the city centre. The room was spacious as each guest was provided the biggest hostel lockers I’ve ever seen which helped keep the room clutter free. I also liked that we didn’t need to provide our own locks for them either. Plenty of common spaces and a bonus was the coffee machine that was free.

Despite the big dining area, there were little facilities to accommodate people who wished to eat on site. The microwave was good, but the space allowed for much more as there was plenty of unused kitchen space which could be used to further improve guest experience.

Location is fabulous for transport links and for main attractions. Check in and out were very easy and the building has some great facilities including various communal areas (garden, terrace, dining room, lounge) and spacious lockers with hanging space.

Being a bit picky - bathrooms and showers weren't awful but could have been cleaner, especially in hot weather when they are used more frequently. Similarly there does seem to be air conditioning but this was not very strong and/or wasn't used consistently, though this may just mean better communication is needed (i.e. confirming its existence and providing info on how to access it).

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!

Great location close to main sights. Comfortable room and large communal dining area. Also had lovely gardens and outdoor areas to enjoy a glass of wine or coffee and read or relax. Staff were lovely and helpful

We had very noisy people in the room next to us for two nights. More disappointed with their behaviour than the hostel itself. Would be good if there could be more monitoring of noise levels of guests. This is definitely not a party hostel so those looking for that vibe should go elsewhere. Great for singles couple and families.

Best hostel I’ve ever been to!! Extremely welcoming and caring staff guys! The rooms are clean and designed properly. Bathrooms in each room and one per floor. Personal lockers are of a good size, everything fits in them. Also cafeteria with free drinks (tea green/black with lemon/black, coffee machines, juices, hot chocolate). Cozy backyard with a cute fountain. Location is perfect! Close to everything xD Also felt safe there as a solo traveling girl. Haven’t worried about anything even for a second! Washing and drying machines are nice (and only 4€ per load!!) I want to go back already xD I highly recommend staying here !!

Beautiful little place near Santa Maria Novella, nice beds, nice staff who are very friendly. And free coffee, what more can a solo traveller ask for

Outside road is getting constructed so it doesn’t look great from there

Staff was very helpful and helped me understand the best way to reach my next destination. Free hot chocolate and coffee, as well as a cold/hot water machine to refill your bottle! The dining/breakfast area is facing a pretty garden patio with a little fountain that sparrows love. The train station is a few minutes away, as well as Mercato Centrale, where you can get local snacks and meals for a good price. It is a 10 minute walk away from Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore; close to many interesting places to visit.

Nothing, really.

An oasis in the middle of the city. In 10 minutes walking you’ll be in the Duomo in 12 in Piazza della Signoria and in 15 in the Ponte Vecchio. Super close of the train station if you arrive to Firenze by train and also at 7 min walking from a tram station with direct line to the airport. Added to that, if you just want to relax after a long sightseeing journey, you can enjoy the patio and read a book or just chill with the fountain and bird songs. Thanks for the hostage! ✨

The microwave was about of service during a day or two and the fridge is not big enough for everyone (but we manage). Apart from that, everything great
