Pros: This hostel has a very good location, being very close to the train station and 10 minutes walk from the major attractions. We got a nice & quiet room (they named it deluxe room) and for going there we had to cross the hostels' garden - a very nice place, i would like to be there in summer! Room was clean, with nice furniture, the bathroom was big. For breakfast we had to choose between some fixed menu, but it was ok, we had enough options (and got for no extra price croissant and orange juice). The good part of this is that we had fresh food, cooked especially for us (eggs and bacon). I saw very good prices for dinner menu, but as we didnt had the time to eat there, I couldnt say if the food its good or not. Free internet its a plus

Pros: The Hostel Archi Rossi is an interesting hybrid. The original part is a slighly upmarket hostel, complete with cafeteria style meals (why come to Italy for a cafeteria meal!), a load of computers for free internet access, a many backpackers. However, the Hostel has purchased the hotel next door so now comprises a hostel and very nice three star hotel with the latter at prices not much higher than the hostel, at least on the web. This means for a very reasonable price you can enjoy an extremely clean, comfortable and reasonably equipped hotel room (fridge, large shower, comfortable bed) and, most importantly, two gorgeous courtyards to relax in (an original one and one between the two parts of the hotel) as well as free internet.

Pros: The front desk staff was excellent. They provided good instructions on how to get to the hostel and detailed directions for getting to the tourist site we wanted to see. Although we stayed one night, they were kind enough to hold our bags after check out so we could explore Florence luggage free. Thank you front desk staff! Super nice and competent at their job. The hostel was easy to find and in a central location.
