Hostel Santa Monaca

L'emplacement est parfait. Il est possible de marcher jusqu'au centre de Florence. Je pense que c'est une auberge pour les jeunes. Pas d'ascenseur. Les sandales sont indispensables car le sol de la salle de douche est trempé.

Location is optimum and it's walking distance to all the monuments and hang out locations. I stayed at the hostel during July and it was extremely hot, the air-conditioning was good but it couldn't keep up with the heat of a Florentine summer. The building is a old commune and inside is like a rabbit hole, can get a little confusing and compared to other hotels I've stayed it's very out dated. Perhaps works well for school groups. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful with anything I needed at the hostel and also information about Florence.

Santa Monica hostel are having a laugh. The hermit crab of a receptionist seemed like he’d rather be playing League of Legends than to provide any remotely acceptable level of customer service. After charging me an extra dubious ‘tourist tax’, I was sent up to find my dorm room which was the size of my dad’s tool box shed with 3 gloomy bunk beds. Despondent conversations were had with fellow room-mates/victims to find out that my sentiment of abhorrence to this place is shared. It seemed these people were shrouded in misery due to the complete lack of a**osphere. I had to traverse my way through the entire building just to find somewhere to have a shower and to use the dunny. I again had another uncomfortable conversation with another victim about how these facilities aren’t far off from what I’ve seen in WWII Documentaries. For value, 39.10 Euros is 4 times the amount I would pay for this measly hell-hole, but I won’t let it ruin my experience of the beautiful city of Florence. I’d rather tie a ball and chain around my ankles and sleep at the bottom of the Firenze river.

Nice hostel,nice and friendly staff,hostel is a old monastery,rooms ar big,spacious,with a lousy airco,the pipe always broke of in my room.good beds,best showers,24/7 open,nearby all shops,restaurants,etc.Not easy to find if you got of on the busstop,outside Florence,and no taxi's are.

Mi è piaciuta l'accoglienza ricevuta e i dormitori condivisi con altre persone,davvero una particolarità che non tutti gli Ostelli hanno.Mio nipote ed io ci torneremo sicuro. Consigliato,ne vale la pena.
