The hostel was a decent budget option in Florence. It was a bit far outside of the centre but only 5 minutes by bus from Termini. The place had heating from 6 to about midnight but was quite cold beforehand and a bit damp. Before 6pm and after midnight I needed to wear 2 fleeces, duck lined vest and skins and my boots. It would be good to have a heater in the room for the evening hours or for the early morning when the central heating was turned off. The internet was ok, not the best for making Skype calls but worked for the basics. Mario greeted us nicely and gave us a map and explained how to get to and from the main sites including our favourite restaurant not far from the hostel - Templier I think.The kitchen was a bit cramped for cooking but ok for making salads. The hostel or at least our room was facing the main road and even though I slept fine it might be a bit tough for light sleepers as you can hear all the noise of the Main Street plus inside the hostel when guests come and go and talk at reception.
