This hostel is a lovely place, staffed by friendly helpful staff. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were spotless and the breakfast was good, including excellent coffee. Our only complaint were the bedbugs that attacked one of our party. To the hostel's credit, they dealt with the problem promptly and were very apologetic when we told them, and they left us in no doubt that they would be fixing the problem as soon as possible.

when you are traveling by yourself, the most important thing is to be in a place with good vibes.
the hostel Gallo D´oro is that place!
cleaning the rooms, breakfast, all great! but more important is that you feel at home.
Carmen, Mateo y Francesco son muy lindos!!!

What could I expect, having never had the need to stay at a hostel before. But ever since they're not exclusive to backpackers any longer and are becoming trendy and acceptable to everyone during the past few years, I really was eager for the experience.
My student son treated me with a visit for Mother's Day to Italy & Florence and choose this Hostel.

Well ... was I in for a pleasant surprise ! I had the best experience and met the friendliest, helpful, just perfect hosts with great people skills - I could ever imagine. No need for my limited Italian - their English language skills are perfect and the broad knowledge base extended even to - out of all places - Gonzaga U and the Spokane area!

Altho a bit challenging to locate the exact entrance - there were no signs - what a great gem of a place to stay for the no-frills budget-minded. Even a scrumptious breakfast - plus free internet - was included !

Nothing but praise - we were really happy to have discovered and experienced your place and you deservedly receive my 5 stars with a big Thumbs Up !

Genise & Oliver .. Molte Grazie .. we will certainly return !

It is definitely the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff was just incredible and makes you feel at home. As soon as you walk in they give you a map and circle all the things to see/do in Florence. There is free breakfast, sometimes free dinner, internet, lockers. It was just too hot in the rooms - no AC but one fan; and you have to sleep with the windows open - early in the morning you wake up with the noise from the cars and scooters. But appart from that, it was the best hostel ever.
