Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Probably one of the worst hostels I ve ever stayed. They literally have 1 plug for the entire room (4 bedroom dorm)! How can this be on the 21st century?? Luckily I had an external batery, otherwise my trip would be totally ruined. Also the hostel is old, lockers dont work properly and the location fel unsafe at night.

    My stay at Plus Florence was excellent. The staff was really friendly and helpful with everything I needed. The hostel was clean, safe, quiet and even I didn't had time to use them, with many extra things to do on your free time. Breakfast is really worth the money, if you really want to be full in the morning! It was also close to city center, walking was fine every hour of the day, there is a bar across the street and a super market half minute away.

    The property is situated in a very quiet part of Florence. If you like to walk, it is the perfect hostel for you as it is a good 20 minute walk from the centre. It has complete facilities for both work, leisure and long stay. It has a coworking space, a bar and pool, and locker storage/laundry facility. Best for backpackers, students, and people on a budget looking for a cheap accomodation.
