Set only 450 metres from Santa Maria Novella Train Station in Florence, My Friends provides accommodation with free WiFi. Florence's Duomo Cathedral is 650 metres away.

Classic-style rooms all provide air conditioning. Both private and shared bathrooms include free toiletries.

Staff are friendly, provide useful information, and do their best to make you feel at home. There's a common terrace where you can hang out with other guests. And the kitchen is fully stocked with various food options for breakfast. The rooms are simple but comfortable. The location is very central and you can walk wherever in a very short time. I'd be happy staying here again should I need a place in Florence in the future.

Located a 10-minute walk from Santa Maria Train Station, Plus Florence is a hostel offering rooms and dormitories with free WiFi throughout. It is 1 km from Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral.

Each room and dormitory at Plus Florence features a flat-screen TV, lockers and a private bathroom. Some also boast views of the cathedral.

It's simply a most luxury hostel I've been to! The dormitory looking so good and the bathrooms are clean and modern which are also in your room -- not separately. Can't be more happy with my experience, an outdoor swimming pool definitely helped in 35 degrees heat! Stuff is very friendly and helpful. One of my roommates has some troubles with shower - it leaked - and stuff fixed it immediately without being rude or making an assumption that she broke it.

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.

    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.

    It was very nice for a hostel. I was expecting bunk beds but everyone had single beds and there were only two other beds in my room (plus two in a loft above), one of which was empty. The staff were very helpful and the location was great. I would definitely reccommend to anyone looking for cheap accommodation.
