Ostello Bello Firenze

Convenient accommodation with a bar at the same location as check-in, plus a welcome drink. Luggage storage is available for a fee. There's a communal kitchen, and eye masks, sewing kits, and earplugs are provided for sleeping. Towels are not included. Free condoms are offered.

The room was quite spacious. Since it was during the World Cup, they had live broadcasts downstairs for everyone to watch, which was a nice touch. However, some areas weren't very clean, and the shower drain often got clogged. Florence was incredibly hot – I definitely recommend avoiding going out in the midday sun during the summer.

The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the train station. To get to the room, you have to go through two doors, which adds an extra layer of security with a code. There's a very practical and spacious storage area under the bed for luggage. The air conditioning runs 24/7, and there are plenty of dining options nearby.

The hostel's location is excellent, close to the train station, and within walking distance of all the city's attractions. The room was clean and tidy overall, and there was no noise at night, but the bathroom was incredibly small and very inconvenient.

The staff were incredibly helpful and patient, truly outstanding. The water pressure and temperature in the shower were excellent, and the hairdryer was pretty powerful. This Ostello Bello's bar being connected to the accommodation can get a bit noisy, but they provide earplugs which helps. I stayed right above the bar, and while there was some noise, it wasn't too disruptive. And even though there weren't curtains on the beds, it was still fine.
