Property Description
In the heart of the town, 30 seconds from the Duomo, you'll find a real hostel and not one of those re adapted apartments that call themselves 'hostels'. Here all things are considered, is also the cheapest because our prices include everything and there are no surprises , as it could happen, to have to pay extra on breakfast, Internet, linen, towels and 'taxes' (even our pictures look exactly like our hostel ! ). The reviews from our guests say everything, so we leave it to our reviews to do all our talking for us.
The only rules we have are: to leave empty the hostel from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. so we can clean the hostel; we also ask to not make any noise after 11 p.m. so we can let our guests relax in peace.
On the start of the street that leads to the Museum dell'Accademia (Academy Gallery where Michelangelo's David is housed), Academy hostel is on the first floor of the 17th Century palace that was the true residence of 'barone' Ricasoli and from here it's possible to reach any interesting venue or tourist location in Florence with a short walk.
ROOMS

The city is a busy and hectic place so it's important for us at Academy Hostels to do as much as possible to ensure our guests can get a comfortable night sleep.

The Academy Hostels is a rather small Hostel and can welcome 30 guests. Our well-maintained dormitory rooms with just 2 to 6 beds (no bunk beds) makes a very familiar and friendly environment.
