This is my favorite hostel out of all the hostels I've stayed at. Free internet, free walking tours, Free (good) breakfast. Clean rooms, tho there were a lot of mosquitos beacuse cleaning lady left the window open. It was very close to the SMN train station. Everything great!

Nice Hostel, good location, great breakfast! Not great for being social or meeting people, but a decent hostel for how close it is to the train station and all the sights. -Chris from Canada

Arriving at 1am after being delayed for 5hr on the train, then being told your reservation has been cancelled, then 10mins later told we still have a reservation. Not a good start. Make sure you take a print out showing your reservation.

I really enjoyed my stay at Archi Rossi. Breakfast included was excellent and you could eat cheaply at the hostel in the evenings. Great if you're on a budget. Can't recommend it highly enough.

It was extremely central, only a few minutes walking distance from all the main attractions, and it had an amazing atmosphere. You can write on the walls of the hallways which really gave it something different. The staff was the most friendly and helpful staff I've ever seen and seemed genuinely happy to be there. They had free internet and an AMAZING free breakfast. You could choose from like 7 different meals and drinks in the morning. and the rooms were clean and comfy, same with the shower and bathroom. I have ZERO complaints about this place.close

The hostel's owners are great! The hostel provides good coffee break and there are products for fair prices for the guests (water, soap, cookies, etc). There's free internet on room, what's amazing. The bad points are that the bathroom was really clogged and the guest's writings on the walls... more The hostel's owners are great!

what a comfortable hostel! It has an affordable cafeteria, beautiful garden area, and is in a good location - close to the train station and in walking distance to the sights. The staff was a little blah. Room was great - even had computer with internet in our room! I would definately go back.

Professional. Nice to have so many computers. The written on walls made me feel old. You actually pick from several breakfasts. They made me take a top bunk so I couldn't sleep well. Like the individual keyed lockers.

Absolutely the best hostel I've stayed in. The free breakfast is really nice, almost like ordering off a Denny's menu. In your room you have your own private locker with a key to keep your stuff during the day (between nights visiting) and there are plenty of computers with free internet.

Was a good place to begin in Florence, if not on the upper end of budget accommodation compared to what you get at other places. Still, we booked 1 night and stayed 4!
