I'm a few months late from posting this review, but I highly, highly recommend staying here on any…read morefuture Florence travels. (Especially if you've previously visited Florence before.) As a solo traveler, this place was perfect! First of all, Romina was amazing, amazing hostess with the most-ess! She literally knows everything and anything that's going on in Florence; and she even has her own app!! From the best tiramisu in town to live music, to the "hot new restaurant" - she'll guide your way. So this gorgeous "hostel" was previously an elementary school... gorgeous architecture with marble floors! (I'm sure not too many hostels have that...) But if you can remember your old small gymnasium.. well yeah, that's the main "lobby" part of Tasso, with a bunch of tables and sofas to lounge. And the gym stage is where Tasso hosts the frequent local music acts that play on the weekend! Yeah... how cool is that?!? :) My solo room was quite large, extremely comfortable bed... locker inside to stow my belongings. (Just remember to bring your own combo lock with.) Shared bathroom was totally fine.. i never had to wait; nor do I think I even remember hearing anyone else go in there. ?? Loved this place! It was a total yelp find.. I can't recommend high enough. And I'll absolutely stay here again with future visits to Florence. Being on the other side of the Arno was great... it was certainly "less touristy". I stayed in Florence for a few days, so I even found "my own coffee shop" that i'd frequent because I stayed at Tasso. Tons of charm... amazing service.... totally secure location... comfortable beds... and I met the coolest people from all over the world!

BEST HOSTEL. This was our favorite hostel throughout our entire Euro-trip. Clean, single beds, high…read moreceilings, great staff, amazing location, air conditioning, the list goes on! We always cabbed to the train station because it was only €14 and we had a group, but you could walk if you're up for a 25 minute trek, not bad at all. Make sure you book in advance to stay here in Florence! We had the best trip here and credit that partially to the wonderful hostel.

When you leave to see the city, you leave your key up front and it gives an added sense of security since you know you won't lose it in the Florence crowds. Also the free breakfast exceeded my expectations-- huge selection and delicious! Nothing like being greeted by a cute dog as well!

I really like this hostel!…read more Location: it's right next to the train station and a short walking distance to the piazzas, the Domo, the leather market, and everything. Crowd: somehow there were a lot of Asians that booked this hostel. I was in a room of all Asian girls, I'm Asian myself and maybe they wanted to put us all together? Hostel: the rooms are freaking huge! It's old though but huge! The place is sooo big. They have courtyards and garden areas, big cafeteria that you can order food. The breakfast is the best breakfast ever for any hostel!! I'm not talking about bread, cereal, and a muffin. I'm talking about a selection of breads, sweets, real food (rice Wth seafood, tomato rice, meatballs with sauce, little hot dogs with veggies, eggs, eggs with bacon, a killer drink machine that makes the best cappuccino!) the breakfast was amazing and they did not cheap out. It was buffet style as well. The bathrooms were plentiful with showers. There's a 2am curfew and a 11pm quiet time. So if you wanna party go somewhere else, because the receptionist guy will give you crap. And tell you to shut up. The wifi is everywhere! And it's pretty good. Hey also have computers you could use as well. And they sell food and water for cheap. They don't try to over charge. A big water bottle was less then 1 euro! Other places sell that for 3 euros. Price was really good for hostel, under 30 euros. This was probably the best hostel I stayed at! Totally recommend if you are in Florence!

We've only been here one night so far but we absolutely love it. There is a lovely cafe on the…read morefirst floor with a delicious cafe latte. The rooms are cozy -- very nicely made beds, comfy sheets and comforter. The shower has excellent water pressure. The kitchen in the basement is huge and has a wonderful community feeling. One group was having a big group meal in the center, with multiple individuals cooking pasta and relaxing in the sides of the kitchen. My one reservation is that the hostel is slightly far off the main road (maybe 1/8 of a mile) and it takes about 20 minutes walking to get to the big grocery store, although there are other small food places around (we passed at least one cafe less than 5 minutes away). I would highly recommend this hostel. Just know that you will be doing a bit of walking!

We were not expecting much from this hotel, booked so last minute that we were left with a three-person room for two people. But we were pleasantly surprised. The website is extremely honest and up to date, clearly stating that this is a low-budget, 2-star accommodation establishment that provides no frills but real quality. The rooms are really colorful, bright, and actually surprisingly spacious compared to its Italian competitors (and London ones as well). I actually grew quite fond of the burnt orange and cheery yellow decor, especially when it was paired with a lovely en-suite. And a bidet?! Had never even SEEN one of these before. Anyway... Also (drum-roll please).....*free breakfast*. And it's quite a decent spread including croissants (with butter/jam/honey), yogurt, cereal, bagels, fruit, and juice/coffee. And huge TV. Shall I go on? I will...The price is amazing. Our room was 70 euros for what was meant to be 3 people, booked 24 hours in advance. But if you check the website, it seems to offer rooms for around 50 euros for 2 people. Considering the hostel was only a couple euros cheaper, well, it's your pick. For a 2-star, I give this place 5 stars without question. Also, the friendly reception works 24 hour, which is great. Only downside is that it's a little bit of a walk from the train. But, I appreciate the exercise :) Definitely worth using this as your budget base for a great trip if you prefer to splash out on great Italian food/site-seeing rather than on your crash-pad.
