Plus Florence, hotel in Florence

Located a 10-minute walk from Santa Maria Train Station, Plus Florence is a hostel offering rooms and dormitories with free WiFi throughout. It is 1 km from Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral.

The hostel was very nice . Had own restaurant, pool, breakfast 9€. My room looked pretty good,new, was clean, also towel included. Single bads were on the hotel(not hostel) level ( mostly in hostels are 2 floor beds). In room were soap and shower gel. Wi-Fi was fast. Was feeling of level-up hostel. Yes, price also isn’t cheap, but it costs this money.

Florentia Living Stays, hotel in Florence

It's well connected (Tram T2 to the city centre, 15mix). I felt safe as a solo traveller. I've stayed in a single room. It has a microwave and kitchenette so you can cook. :) The pool is on the roof and free to use, no extra charges. There is additional fee, I think 6e per night and you can pay it only by card when you arrive or in advance via site (it's not included in the price when you book on Booking). There is a big supermarket nearby.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    We were initially hesitant about staying at a hostel but it was actually great. The bunk beds were clean and comfy. The staff was nice and helpful. It would have been great if there was a hook in the bathroom to hang towels or clothes. But otherwise, good stay. There are lockers to store your luggage safely as well.

    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.

    This is the most beautifully designed, well kept, fun and in general - best hostel in Florence. The price is good for the standards of the city, which means that anything cheaper won’t be worth the money. Apart from that, there is a free welcome drink and lots of other free goodies during your stay. However, the kindness, the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff is priceless. This all results with a great social connection between all the guests. I highly recommend it!

    Stable and comfortable bed, with shelf, night light and power socket. In a dormitory there are a toilet room and a shower room, both with basins, and there are extra bathrooms outside the rooms. No queues at all. The best shower I've ever seen in a hostel. Big and safe lockers. Towel included in the price. In general a good and clean hostel, it looks like a hotel converted to hostel.
