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.

Reviews & Ratings
smfinn78917 from USA stayed here on 11th August 2010 GREAT location, right outside the Duomo and only about 10 minutes from Ponte Vecchio. Super clean, staff was so friendly, and the breakfast in the morning wasn't bad! Definitely recommend it. |

archibaldbrian7759 stayed here on 11th August 2010 Great location, great staff, very clean, free snacks and wine were amazing. Great experience here. |

mandrita stayed here on 10th August 2010 Good hostel, clean and friendly. The only problem we had was that the man in the reception of the morning was tough to ask us to leave the hostel because it is closed for cleaning. It was a rainy day and we had gone for Raincoats for a moment and he treated us really bad (yelling) We had not even noticed before to justify his attitude ... |

busbridgehugo3981 stayed here on 08th August 2010 This was without a shadow of doubt the most wonderful hostel I have ever stayed in. Staff were super friendly, lovely open plan common area, no long corridors, really nice little touches like a portable bedside light and free earplugs. Free evening food and wine. Owner took us all out to a great great restaurant for a huge discount. So friendly and had a real community feel. Really clean, spacious and well decorated dorms. Gutted we only got one night. You'd be mad not to stay here. |

leesha_p6835 stayed here on 08th August 2010 Excellent hostel!!! Could not get any closer to the Duomo (unless of course you were staying IN it)! Staff excellent!! Would definitely stay again! Make sure you go out to dinner with Ramina - she knows all the best spots!! |

carla_schmartz6029 stayed here on 08th August 2010 Nicest hostel ever: warm welcome, spotless clean, comfortable bed, fruit salad in the morning, extremely friendly and helpful stuff, calm and relaxed atmosphere to recover from the busy city. I'd definitely always return when in Firenze! |

Er stayed here on 07th August 2010 The glass door for the shower room should not be transparent for privacy. Other than that, it is an excellent place to stay. Read Owner Comments |
