I needed a place to stayduring this year TourismA convention. I'd been alerted two days prior so I was worried I would not find anything cheap or close to the convention. This hostel was not only at a 5 minutes walking distance from the convention (and pretty much everything else in the city), but also at an extremely good price -considering I booked the day before the trip-. I stayed in a 4-beds room, which was clean, quite and safe (every guest has a lockable drawer). The app they make you download upon arrival is so convenient: no need for keys, and the whole building is unlockable so you needn't worry about odd hours. The staff is nice, incredibly helpful and polite. They are all plurilinguals, and very proficient ones: I heard the person managing check-ins switching between four languages and entertaining a conversation with multiple guests at the same time. They provided me with a towel I had forgotten, shampoo and soap, a locket for my drawer and a welcome drink. I didn't get the chance to visit the terrace, but I saw numerous guests headed there, so I presume it's a nice place to hang out. Breakfast is simple: croissants, ham and cheese, bread, yogurts and coffee, but very good. I will most surely come back here and bring a couple friends on my next trip to Florence!
