Hostel Archi Rossi

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.

Lovely place extremely close to train station, within walking distance to sites, friendly staff, has great character and charm being former monestary, super comfy bedding (with thick blanket and great pillows), free towels that are larger than any lace I’ve stayed, and the best part is the free juice, hot chocolate coffee room available all day and has nice tables to sit and work etc. Has a fridge and microwave to use, but no kitchen and despite photo of beautiful breakfast they don’t serve one anymore. Highly recommend!

Check in and out was very speedy with there being lovely staff and also a free baggage drop room for before and after checkout that only a staff member could open so very safe. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Common area had books and games that could be used. Really good location, close to station
