Hostel Archi Rossi

Excellent conditions, both from the bedroom and the common area; good location, just 10 minutes from the duomo and 5 minutes from the train station on foot; very friendly and helpful employees. Upon returning to Florence, you will most likely book again at this hostel!

From the very moment we walked into the hostel, we were greeted with a smile and throughout our stay the staff were incredibly helpful and patient. The hostel is very clean and their facilities are always kept in pristine condition, with common areas like bathrooms stocked up with hand soap/toilet roll etc. They helped us to book a private taxi to the airport the night before our departure, easing our worries. The location of the hostel couldn’t be more convenient, just a two minute walk away from the leather market and a 5 minute walk away from the Duomo and Central Florence. The train station and a shopping centre are also around a 3-4 minute walk away. The rooms are secure for keeping your things, with a key for a spacious locker that only you can access with your key. It is kept on a key ring alongside another which ensures access to the room itself. Make sure to keep this on you at all times because you have to show your keys on entry which is a safety measure which made us feel secure and comfortable. The hostel is beautiful and even though we travelled as a group of three, many solo travellers stayed.

Highly recommended place, we had never stayed in a hostel and were pleasantly surprised. Location close to Santa Maria Novella station with friendly and helpful staff, very fast check in. The quiet, cozy room with three single beds and a large bathroom.
