Great price, great dorms, pool was nice - even though the water was cold. The location was also good and everything totally worth the price. The staff was not very friendly but acceptable.

Io viaggio e vivo in strutture turistiche da anni e ci ho lavorato per 6 anni il plus e uno dei migliori per la sua categoria completano la piscina e il bagno turco oltre la gentilezza del personale in sintesi il miglior ostello di Firenze

It was very expensive although you may get it cheaper on another site. Only the outdoor pool is open in summer; turkish bath and indoor pool closed. The personal locks in the room we had to fix with a pocket knife. The shower is separate from the toilet which is nice. 15 min walk from the train station. Grocery stores nearby. Too expensive for me to stay again but other than that it was a good stay.

This hotel is quite a hike from the city centre. The basic services are fine but the tv in the room had not English language programmes and attempts to rectify this repeatedly failed. The same was true of the air conditioning that only heated.

Friendly staff, clean rooms with light blankets and towels, drinks & snack machine in the foyer and 'free' wlan.
Distance from train station seemed more than "900 meters", but still within walking distance.

Ci sono stata con una mia amica e ci siamo trovate benissimo: camera pulitissima e silenziosa, staff molto gentile e posizione centralissima. Prezzo, inoltre, davvero onesto. solo...provate il cappuccino e le brioche al bar dell'ostello: buonissimi!! Ci tornerò sicuramente!!

Un buon Hostello, uno staff con una disponibilità al 100% e servito di tutto.
Lo consiglio anche per la vicinanza alla stazione centrale e a pochi passi da tutto.

L'ambiente è funzionale ed accogliente, il personale gentile. Ci sono stati problemi con la cucina: i pasti al sacco non erano corrispondenti a quanto stabilito, per i pasti consumati in loco non si è tenuto conto che il mio gruppo era formato da alunni di 10,11 anni, quindi non completamente adatto.

Letti appena appena scomodi, ottimo per tutto il resto. Un po' alti i prezzi per chi vuole cenare o fare colazione lì, ma d'altronde Firenze è costosa in generale. Gentilissimo e disponibile il personale, specialmente la ragazza bionda occhi verdi con tratti somatici dell'est: dolcissima, professionale e simpatica.

Great location, clean, staff was helpful but always too busy and couldn't assist some things. Also, breakfast should be free, but it was all you can eat buffet for 6 euros, which isnt too bad.

Def is the place that you have to stay in Florence. Really nice even I was staying there in a Mixed dorm. Well organized and cool place to stay.

It seems as though every backpacker in Florence stays at Plus Hostel. With 400 beds, they were full everyday that we were there. If you want to stay here, make sure to book online. They give preference to those booking online, even if you are already staying there, you will need to extend your stay online. There is a nice pool to
hang out by and a rooftop terrace. The wifi is good but unfortunately there is no communal cooking and there are signs that say no outside food or beverage is allowed in the dinning hall. In the evenings, they have events such as wet t-shirt competitions. The rooms are large with lockers that fit big backpacks. One major downside is that the AC system is controlled by the front desk. There is only one accessible lift from the lobby that was really slow and broke twice while we were there. The unfortunate part about it being so big is that no one really cares about you... We had to walk four flights of stairs to the front desk three times one night because the AC had shut off in the room and the person at the front desk was irritated with us wanting to keep the AC on all night when it was around 35 degrees outside.

Good place if you want to have fun. Disco every night until about 12.30 which can b noisy if you're trying to get to sleep. Loads of tours available and bike rental etc at reasonable price. Staff really friendly

I have mixed feelings with this hostel. On one hand, it offers great value for the money, providing nicer accomodations than most such as a pool, sauna, fridge in the room, etc, but on the other hand it falls short on the basics (you have to make your own bed, for example; no towels are provided, there is no heating in the room). Staff is friendly but a bit disorganized (I was asked to pay when I checked-out - funny considering that I had already payed in advance at check-in; it wasn't such a big deal and it was promptly solved, but it reveals poor administration practices). Also, as is sadly usual at hostels, wifi doesn't work well at higher floors (I had to go down to the lounge/reception to get a strong signal). Overall, is a nice (and cheap) experience for young "backpacker" types, but if you're looking for a more "romantic" experience, you are better off paying something extra elsewhere for more sophistication.

la mia camera si affacciava sulla strada principale a vendo traffico era abbastanza rumorosa. consiglerei se possibile doppi vetri. Per il resto molto pratico e simpatico. stefano

They really got almost all right. Building is a big ex hotel, so five floors, sw pool,gym, bars etc.Internet. Good food for a normal price.Staff very helpfull. Two minuses:
room is ready by 3pm and you have to check out by 10 am so you loose few good hours, and few drunk young people at 4am loudly sharing their life stories on corridor, wether you want to hear them or not. Don't take a room next to a vending machine.
