Stayed 2 nights. Great staff that speaks English, daily cleaning of our rooms, and walking distance to most places to see in Florence. The buffet is average and staff is slow to replenish the food. The property is old and needs renovation.

Hard mattress and thin walls, and the elevator was a little concerning, but otherwise a pleasant stay in a central location only a few minutes walk from the train station and close to key attractions. Shared dorm for four females had a bathroom for the four of us so that was great!

Absolutely fantastic experience at Ostello Bello. There were literally film crews coming to check out the location while I was there — it’s genuinely that great. Won’t be the most comfortable bed of your life but for a hostel? Fabulous.

A very reasonable price hotel to fit our budget and need. It is very safe, clean, comfortable and walkable to tourist attractions and train station. The huge kitchen has all we need from cooking utilities to ingredients and even fruits for vegetarian meals and they are free. It also has a library by the kitchen where people can meet, social, and share their travel experience. It has a free luggage storage. The staff were very nice too.

I cannot speak highly enough of Ostello Bello. The location is perfect, the staff is very friendly, the hostel itself is wonderful with an app you use to access the property and your room. They held a pizza night my first night there, which was great for meeting other guests. It is definitely a very social hostel. I would absolutely stay here if I visit Florence again.
