Emerald Palace

Love the Emerald Palace. Location near the train station is ideal. The Duomo, museums, the river, so many restaurants - so close. They could use another bathroom or 2. Lots of steps - up to the lobby then up again to the kitchen. But its an old building with plenty of charm and I like the stone steps. Nice people staying there. Is as social as you want to be. Staff very friendly - they care. Be sure to meet Mateo, he is full of good info about Florence and really, all of Italy. Thank you, Mateo!

me tocó una habitación soñada pero la verdad al estar pegada a la calle de la feria se escuchaba el ruido de la calle y me costó dormirme! los trabajadores del hostel son genial y predispuestos y hay café gratis!!

A very great place indeed. The staff were just amazing through out my entire stay. The location is super too.

The staff were lovely and the location is great! However, the whole place is pretty run down and did the reviews and pictures did not feel accurate. Surfaces were clean, but everything else felt quite dirty. I’ve stayed in many hostels and felt let down by this one.

Siamo stati in questo ostello per due notti e ci siamo trovati benissimo sin dall'arrivo. La posizione è centralissima a 2 minuti a piedi dalla Cattedrale, tutto il personale con cui abbiamo avuto a che fare durante il nostro soggiorno è stato molto disponibile e simpatico e l'ostello in generale è pulito e in buone condizioni. Lo terrò sicuramente in considerazione per le prossime volte!

The hostel is in such a great location — super convenient for getting around! It has everything you need, including a shared lounge and kitchen. The staff at the front desk were also really friendly and welcoming.

this is where you wanna be in florence,right in the center and a short walk away from all forms of public transportation. they clean every day, have a fully equipped kitchen, and free luggage storage. But the best thing about this place is the staff, the kindest most amazing and helpful people, they will do anything in their power to help you, so don't hesitate asking questions. they are also super accommodating, anything I needed was immediately handled. I had an amazing stay.

Rooms and bathrooms clean, common area super nice and kitchen well stocked - receptionist was lovely too. Location is right in town short walk to everywhere

Un hospedaje silencioso, habitación y baño amplios y cómodos. El personal es amable. Ubicación práctica. Un lugar recomendable.

Great place to stay in a very old building. (Think no elevator, very high ceilings, lots of stairs. Oh so many stairs.) Room and common areas were very clean, everything easy to access. Staff very friendly. The San Lorenzo street market starts literally right outside the door to the hostel building. Numerous delicious restaurants and shops within steps of the building, as well as historical sights. It's a fairly quick walk from the Florence train station.

lots of pros, lots of cons PROS : - insane location (3mins away from the duomo) - rooftop next to the kitchen (w free coffee) - no bunk beds so no one above/under you to disturb you CONS - one bathroom for a 6-ppl room so you might have to wait to shower / go to the toilet - i would recommend to ask for a bed that’s not on the mezzanine because one person walking on there will shake your whole bed if you’re sleeping - need to pay in cash

La ubicación muy buena, las fotos del lugar no son tan iguales a como es y el baño tenía una perdida. El resto todo perfecto

Very central location. Rooms and bathroom were super clean. The staff were friendly and the bag storage until 8pm was fantastic!

Gran lugar, recomendado 100%!

It is a pretty good hostel, with a good location. I wasn't super happy about having to pay a large sum in cash for my stay, but it is not bad other than that.

I LOVE THIS PLACE AMAZING LOCATION PEOPLE AN STAFF COULDNT RECOMMEND MORE

Pretty nice stay! The room was spacious for everyone. Will remember this location for the future.

I was very happy to stay there. Great rooms, no bunk beds, nice staff, quiet and very central plus free tea and coffee

Super centrale, comodo e personale gentile. Sono stato per una notte e mi sono trovato benissimo. La camera, condivisa, era pulita e in ordine. A disposizione un armadietto, qualche stampella, un asciugamano e un bel piumone. Anche il bagno era pulito, nonostante si trovasse sul soppalco, e condiviso. Il prezzo, onesto, di 17€, compreso di tassa di soggiorno, di 4€. Se dovessi tornare a Firenze, tornerò qui.

This is such a charming hostel right in the heart of Florence. The staff went above and beyond to assist with making everything perfect, from helping carry my luggage, offering all the locals recommendations and luggage storage. I left my wallet in the hostel and I was contacted promptly, very warmed to receive back with nothing missing. The hostel is immaculate and clean, the building has so much charm and character and the facilities great! I'll definitely be back, thanks guys!
