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
Cheap accommodation in Florence shouldn't compromise on comfort. 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. You will find the Academy Hostels amazingly quiet for being located in the center of Florence but at the same time, for the ones who want to enjoy Florence nightlife, you will find restaurants,bars, clubs and the best spots in town within a few minutes walking distance.
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.
All rooms are air conditioned and have lockers for your valuables. WI-FI connection, free usage of computers in the lobby and all bed linen is provided free of charge. Here you will find a comfortable furniture lobby with a LCD wide screen TV for the ones that want a little relaxation and to meet people from all over the world.

Stephen from USA stayed here on 05th April 2010 Loved this location & atmosphere. sadly when I went online to book 2 nights I booked only one night--my fault. this shouldve been picked up at checkin by the mgr and wasnt-- her fault. as she said I only paid for 1 night I shouldve known. in the whirlwind of traveling and checking in I didnt catch it and didnt realize it. we were gone early for sightseeing the next morning(another mgr on duty) when we came back later that day our bags were packed. | Male

Anna from Poland stayed here on 11th April 2010 This is my first visit in a hostel. The first moment I was surpised and a little frightened. But next day I change my opinion. Your hostel are perfect - new style of character in old building near the old certer on Florence!!!! :):):):):)Organization, comfort of accomodation are fantastic. The staff is very helpfull, especially Romina. If I'll go next time to Florence I'll book your hostel and I recomend to my friends. | Female

Ingrid from New Zealand stayed here on 22nd May 2010 Hi, this is a fantastic hostel. However my only complaint is the lack of hot water. If it is scarce, it would have been good to be warned to save it. There for 2 nights - no hot shower during my stay. |

acs8544 from Australia stayed here on 02nd June 2010 All round a good experience. Location is perfect and the staff were brilliant. Breakfast is more than adequate and the evening food and drinks for the daily get together were a pleasant surprise. Another bonus was the multiple computers - very handy. The only negative is that it is noisy at night - more of an issue with the residents rather than the hostel itself. | Male

pmollison1483 from Australia stayed here on 01st May 2010 We stayed in the Academy Hostel in April 2010 (two adults and two children aged 8 and 10). We were extremely impressed with it. The staff on duty sit in the foyer (not in a closed office) and this contributes to great communication and security. Staff helped with all our queries -from internet connection to where to eat. The information was well informed and added immeasurably to our enjoyment of Florence. The breakfasts were delicious and the evening drinks/food meant you met other guests. FAB | Female

joanniet from Italy stayed here on 13th June 2010 The location was excellent - close to the railway station and between Duomo and the gallery which has Michael Angelo\'s \'David\'in it!
Staff extremely friendly and helpful, free delicious food at 7.30 pm, and fresh fruit salad with breakfast.
I definitely recommend it. | Female
