3,3 Mediocre
Pros: Not much
Cons: Disappointed as soon as we saw the sign on the outside of the building saying ‘hostel’. On booking.com it doesn’t say that it’s a hostel and all the photos feature the private rooms (which we thankfully were in). But the reception was full of school groups and constantly busy. We went to ask for extra pillows at reception and it was a 10 minute wait. Also as soon as you walk in there’s a security guard demanding to see your room key, literally no training on customer service whatsoever, it was almost scary, we made sure after that we had our room key out before we walked in so we wouldn’t get hassled. One of the worst things was finding a dead cockroach on the ‘spa facilities’ changing room downstairs. I would really recommend thinking twice before booking this place, we won’t be coming back.

4,0 Okay
Pros:
Cons: The bed was terrible, there was a bar digging into my hip/ lower back all night. One toilet and one shower for a room of 16 is not enough. There was some sort of construction or something happening on the floor above me from 5am to 9pm. No kitchen, which is dumb. It's a massive facility, so there are huge tour and school groups there all the time.
A stay at Plus Florence places you in the heart of Florence, within a 10-minute walk of Fortezza da Basso and Gallery of the Academy of Florence. Featured amenities include a computer station, a 24-hour front desk, and luggage storage.
Hostel Souvenir Maya is located in the historic center, just 7 minutes from the Duomo and 600 meters from the central train station Santa Maria Novella, on the third and fourth floor of a historic building. It has comfortable rooms, with and without its own private bathroom, at extremely affordable prices. All accommodations are equipped with fan, sink, LCD TV, fridge. Free wi fi.

Pros: No breakfast provided, a small station which you can find a small kettle, tea bags and a coffee vending machine. Room was ok for myself, I was there alone this time, a single bed, a small table, a closet, a sink, and a private shower in my room but was not working on the first night, I used it from the second and it worked, but with a broken shower head, still ok to use if you're not picky. Wifi was working quite well on the 3rd floor, but I was staying on the 4th unfortunately it didn't work for me. An elevator to bring my luggage up to 4th floor, the reception is located at 3rd floor, it's a small one which fits my big suitcase and just 2 people (which are not fat). The owner Andrea is a really nice gentleman, I was pretty sick during last 2 days of my trip, and he allows me to stay longer of the rest of the day until I headed to the airport, without charging me extra fee. 10mins walk for me to the tram station to the airport, quiet during the night, a fan available, a very stunning view from my room (see the picture attached), which I treat it as a bonus, but be careful with the mosquitoes in Florence, they're everywhere! It's a really pleasant stay, if you are looking for a place value for money, and you are not a super picky person, this is your choice! GRAZIE Andrea!

Pros: The size of the room which was quite big and the buffet room
Cons: The bathroom didn’t have any amenities and the shower was quite scary. Also the room and the halls were terrible. It looks like and abandoned school! The buffet in the morning was ok but nobody was cleaning the tables so if you want to sit down and take your breakfast you have to clean the table and remove all the dishes from the previous customers... The location wasn’t very good...it takes around 30 minutes to go to the city center and this is not really good when the price of the room per night is that high...it’s not worth at all

The hostel was easy to find and in a central location.
Cons: The beds are uncomfortable cots. It was chilly in the room, which made the bedding feel damp. We woke up a little later than planned and requested to have an extra half hour to shower and change before checking out. The front desk okayed it, which was appreciated however, the information was not communicated to the housekeeper. The housekeeper knocked on our door several times, I explained to her that we were allowed to stay for another half hour to shower. She didn't seem to understand or maybe she just didn't care. She rudely told us we had 5 minutes and left.

Cons: The rooms don't have air conditioning, which is probably fine for 80% of the time, but being there during a warmer month, it was hard to sleep without opening the windows. But was eaten alive by mosquitos because of that. A screen to keep out the bugs would be the cheaper remedy. The kitchen/meals area was modern and huge, but wasn't designed for guests who wanted to prepare their own meals. It felt like it was frowned upon to eat there, but luckily during my stay the hostel's dinner buffet was served outside, so the area was free to use. Plastic cups, cutlery and plates were provided instead of any proper utensils or crockery. Not an eco-friendly decision at all.

Pros: Great location, not in the hyper center but relatively close, the street was still buzzing at night with tourists, making it easier to come back late. Also very close to the train station (5min).

Pros: Very friendly and kind staff, it also is a very clean and tidy place with all planned and ready for our arrival. You can wash your clothes for 4 Euros. I found the place very tranquil and amazingly located. Close to main train station and walking distance to the centre anyway you won’t need to take buses or trains there, Florence is a small city. We had a wonderful stay.

Pros: Great location, not in the hyper center but relatively close, the street was still buzzing at night with tourists, making it easier to come back late. Also very close to the train station (5min).
Cons: Reception only open for a few hours in the morning, it was closed when I arrived. There was a problem with the entrance code machine so I had to wait for an hour before being able to enter the hostel. The beds are quite uncomfortable.

Cons: Receptionist wasn't the friendliest and almond followed us around for the first morning around the place Lock on the bathroom door wasn't ideal Extra charge for air con (rooms very warm so you feel obliged to pay) and also for using the towels and bed sheets if your stay isn't over 100 euros The bin was very smelly!

Pros: Bed was comfy and spacious. Location was nice and central. Facilities were really good. Host was welcoming and accomodated us well so thank you.
Cons: Beware Extra costs! We were sent an email 1 hour before scheduled check-in stating we ought to inform if we didn't need bed sheets (which there was then a charge for). I believe that a better warning would be honest and fair. Check-in took longer than expected. Reduced kitchen hours were a bit odd.
