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!

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!

The rooms are interesting as they seem to be more of only twin beds and nothing else. I do appreciate that the AC works extremely well that the rooms are kept very cold. There are a lot of rules to follow here, something to keep in mind if you are planning to stay at this hotel. The water pressure and temp of the shower is fantastic. Probably the best bathroom I've had while vacationing varies parts of Italy. They also offer a breakfast buffet at 10 euros per person every morning.

Between the pool, full-scale restaurant (food was cheap and decent too), and modern/updated facilities it definitely didn't feel like the other hostels I've been to. I opted for a four bed mixed dorm and it was all women. I'm not sure if that was the luck of the draw or the kindness of the hostel staff, but either way it made for a pleasant surprise. Wifi is strong and reliable throughout the property. There are plenty of toilets and outlets as well. Definitely suitable for remote working if you need to while you're in Florence. It's also situated close to both the main tourist sites as well as the main train station. I would absolutely stay again.

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!

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.

I walked over from the airport at midnight and felt like I was completely safe. They have 24 hour concierge service which is very convenient as well. The total for the night was around 14-16 euros. They also emailed me about an all-you-can-eat dinner for only 5 euros, which sounds like a great deal. I appreciated the low price for the stay, but of course it was low for a reason. The rooms were really humid and did not have any kind of ventilation. Even though I used their fresh sheets somehow I ended up finding bug bites on my body over the next few days. They are very accommodating and convenient for travelers, but I probably would look around at other options (if they were cheaper but better) before coming back.

Long time, no yelp! So recently I've been traveling with my two friends to Italy and France having…read morea great time and one of the places that made it so great was this place. It was super close to the airport to the point that my friend that was already staying there met me and my other friend at the terminal and then we walked back in about 10-15 minutes. It was set up pretty modern with 3 computers in the lobby and couches. But my absolute favorite part was having a whole pizza for only 4 euros and the fact that it was arguably one of the best meals I had in Italy all together. They also have a buffet of pizza, pasta, rice dishes with one drink for 7 euros, which was super good. And I also liked the outside that had a huge screen that we could watch the world cup on Whenever I go back to Pisa, this will be my first stop.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends how you see it) they don't have mixed dorms so you will be accommodated in a whole male or whole female dorm. The price for a bed in the hostel starts from 21EUR, not too bad for Venice ;) Enjoy Venezia, the gondolas, the food and the romance!
