I am a 69 year old American woman and took a chance on a 'hostel' in Florence. I will choose Ostello Bello for all of my Florence stays from this day forward. I reserved a single room which was large (for a hostel) and quiet. Ostello Bello has free wifi (I was on a working vacation), fun activities for all, the location is PERFECT. Staff is patient, helpful, and a free drink on arrival set the tone for the weekend.
I like the location even though it was hard for me to find it because of the number system. The staff was really friendly and the bed was really comfortable and clean.
Amazing stay at this hostel! Clean rooms and linens, nice bathroom connected to room. Breakfast was very good. Close to walk to everything. Great restaurants close by.
The staff were so kind, the hostel in general was amazing and clean, the food as well, it’s easy go to everywhere walking and If I’ll go back to Florence I just going to the Ostello Bello
Loved this hostel. Bathrooms are clean. Location is amazing 10 mins from train station. rooms are bit small but has a authentican italian feel. loved the kitchen. they allow you to cook and give free food to make. Staff is amazing and very polite

Hard mattress and thin walls, and the elevator was a little concerning, but otherwise a pleasant stay in a central location only a few minutes walk from the train station and close to key attractions. Shared dorm for four females had a bathroom for the four of us so that was great!
Absolutely fantastic experience at Ostello Bello. There were literally film crews coming to check out the location while I was there — it’s genuinely that great. Won’t be the most comfortable bed of your life but for a hostel? Fabulous.
A very reasonable price hotel to fit our budget and need. It is very safe, clean, comfortable and walkable to tourist attractions and train station. The huge kitchen has all we need from cooking utilities to ingredients and even fruits for vegetarian meals and they are free. It also has a library by the kitchen where people can meet, social, and share their travel experience. It has a free luggage storage. The staff were very nice too.

This was an ok place to stay (family of 4) - two parents and two adult children. Clean, you check-in at the bar and they were very friendly and helpful when we needed a very early cab to airport. However, it is quite noisy to try and sleep at night and seems to be a place for much younger adults, especially with the bar below. First night, there was no hot water (may have been due to maintenance being performed on building). Thankfully, next two mornings, we had hot showers. Beds were not great; make sure the slats underneath are evenly spaced. Makes for a much better nights sleep.

Hostel atmosphere
Room was basic and tired looking. Comfort was good with dark curtains, high threadcount sheets and firm mattress. Not really for older adults because most guests were in their twenties. Tiny bathroom and no minibar so impossible to keep medication refrigerated.
When we arrived our room had not been cleaned. We returned to the desk, they apologized, and issued us a different room. There were some used towels hanging in the bathroom, but everything else was clean. We had requested 2 beds when booked thru Expedia, but property said they didn’t receive that information, and would have cleaning staff correct it the next day. Cleaning staff was kind and fixed the beds for us. We purchased breakfast with our stay. It was simple, but adequate, and worth the convenience.
one of my absolute favorite hostels to ever stay at. even in the off-season, the staff and volunteers were so welcoming, kind, and honestly just a good time!! would highly recommend & stay here again <3
