The rooms were spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable and lockers were large enough to accommodate the luggage. The staff was cordial and helpful. From the location, all the major attractions and Florence SNM railway station was at walking distance and a few grocery shops were nearby. The church just besides the propoerty is must visit for important tombs and interesting frescoes.

Although the croissants were tasty the breakfast i.e. one croissant and a coffee or two was not enough for me. Also, the breakfast was served at 930 which was quite late. I would have preferred to have it from 830 onward.

This hostel is quite the gem. The value for money is excellent. At first you are encountered with what used to be a monastery? But then you go beyond and it's a very modern hostel, with all the comforts, like socket near the bed, a small table, lockers to save your staff, good bathrooms (the only bad thing of the bathroom was it didn't have any hook to hang things). The bed was comfy and clean, and the space between bunk beds was very good, both lateral and in height. The location is perfectly set between the train station and the city center. Also, the girls at the breakfast (Luisa and Carolina) were super nice! Also the garden inside is beautiful. I only stayed for one night but I would highly recommend it.

The location was great. Very close to the center and short walking distance to the train station. The building and the yard were definitely the best thing about the hostel. Have never seen anything like it before! Was always excited to get back to the hostel in the evening. Rooms were big and clean, beds were comfortable and in the top bunks you had a lot of privacy.

having to pay for luggage storage (once before check-in and again after my check-out, should def be included after paying 60€ for a night!) having to give up your key every time you leave the building

Great location near the train station and town. The staff are pretty good. Best of all is probably the uniqueness of the church grounds where this hostel is located, the courtyard makes for great socialising. Beds are super comfy as well.

I had trouble finding the place at first. I wouldn't use the location on Booking.com but rather search Google Maps for New Generation/ Foresteria Sociale Florence (which is also the name above the entrance, see pictures). It's located right by Piazza Ognissanti, 3 doors left of the church entrance. Bathrooms could use a bit more attention, but decent.

We walked from the train station, for 10 minutes or so and that was great. Location is perfect, right in front of the river and 5 min away from Ponte Vecchio. We checked in right before sunset and the views of Florence were priceless, just steps away from the river and there you are. The property was an old monastery very clean and with many gardens full of flowers, a perfect place to relax. We shared our room with 4 other beds and a bathroom. We had big lockers and the bathroom was clean. The room had a few windows that faced the back patio, simply beautiful. There is always someone at the front desk, so check in was easy every time we came in. Property is close to shops, restaurants and cafes, not too far away by foot to all museums and historic buildings. Would return if I visit Florence again.

They had no towels when we arrived but later on after coming back from dinner they had them so that was great. You do have to pay a small fee to get them.

This place is an old monastery so it was an incredibly cool experience staying here as the place had beautiful art on the ceilings and walls, and a beautiful garden! You get so much space to yourself, like a little loft with a side table to put your things and an outlet. The personal lockers you get are huge and they have outlets inside of them for you to charge things while you're away! The location itself is also great and in walking distance to basically everything.

They definitely need a better system for your room keys. They make you leave your room key at the front desk everytime you leave the hostel and you pick it up when you get back, however they do not ask questions or verify that it's your room key. Because of this, they gave my key to someone else, but they didn't remember who. This makes it easy for someone to steal your stuff because along with the room key is an attached key to your locker. Additionally, the receptionist wasn't the nicest and definitely seemed annoyed whenever any of my friends had a question. Definitely could be cleaner.

The venue and location were excellent. I loved the vibe of the monastery and loved hearing the music from the church attached. The location is city centre so very close to main sites and easily reached from the train station by bus. It was easy to make friends when everyone was in the kitchen. The rooms were lovely as they are designed to make it feel like you have your own nook - very spacious and comfortable.

The kitchen stoves were tricky to use as some were not working or working as well as others. There was also only limited cutlery (3 forks?) so I would suggest some more for a hostel this size!

Such a beautiful place to stay right in the centre of Florence, walk out the door and you’re looking at the river. The place was so peaceful with great common area and kitchen. My room was clean and the bed was really comfortable, the room was cleaned every day.

The staff could be a bit more friendly at times, the girl who checked me in was lovely however the other guys seemed very uninterested and were more focused on playing video games than helping the customers

Such a unique stay! Once a part of the church next door, this hostel IS HUGE. Sure, you walk quite a bit to reach your room, but you walk past paintings and feel like Maria from the Sound of Music - ha ha. The rooms are very big, my friend and I had a whole separated section of the room to ourselves. The beds are built so strong and with so much space! Big stairs to the top bunk Nice bonus of free breakfast to start your day - who doesn't love a fresh croissant filled with Nutella!? Great location!

I was with my friend so we were doing our own thing, but I think if you were a solo traveller the hostel might need some social opportunities.

-I really like the place! The hostel was placed inside of the ancient? church, so the passages were really really stunning! with frescoes on the walls The staff communicated with me a lot and always were accurate in answering my questions. The girls in the kitchen were nice, always gave me 2 cups of coffee during breakfast

The room was extremely cold! It is better to take slippers (the floor was cold as well) and long sleeves pajamas:) I expected to have a curtain in my bed, but nobody did. May be uncomfortable to some, as it was for me
