The Locanda was nice three years ago when you could cook your own meals in the kitchen and come and go during the day as you liked. The former host Rolando provided a nice and caring atmosphere, greeted us with a glass of wine in the patio on our arrival. This was in may, our current stay in the middle of october. We found the kitchen rearranged, a microwave oven but that´s all for cooking (yes, a water boiler as well). The hostel is closed between 11-14, a fact that was not stated in the booking information. As for cleanliness the bathroom is on the border with clogged sinks and black mold in the shower. The place was cold and we discussed for two days before getting the remote control for the airconditioner so the third nigth we slept with only two layers of clothes on since the there were no porper quilts for the beds, only thin beadspreds made of cotton. In the weekend people get drunk and since there is no host at Locanda during the night, the party goes on. Never again Locanda we promised ourselves when departing.
I was relocated because my bed was broken before I arrived. I stayed at the Emerald Palace. Never got a chance to ask how to get hot water from any of the bathrooms.
The staff were very friendly. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed our stay there! :) /Clara
The staff are rude
Great location, friendly staff (especially the lady) only problem is the stove was not working and common rooms close at midnight. Clean showers in single rooms with toilet which is nice when showering but not when waiting to use the toilet. Overall good experience
Nice placed (very close to Train Station and historical part of city). Very clean room and bath, comunicative stuff (speak english very fast, with strong italian accent, but acceptable). We honest can reccoment it :) Thanx
I have had to give the staff a low mark because although Rolando is extremely courteous, friendly, and helpful (everyone raves about his coffee) they are scarcely ever there. When I arrived, he was gone for the night and I had to be directed by other guests who happened to know where else he works. However, if you are a little flexible and not easily freaked out by the casual approach and a certain amount of improvising, you will find comfortable rooms, no bunk beds, sheets changed daily, and luxuries such as a fan (if only we'd had one in Rome!!) All in all, despite the laissez-faire attitude, a very comfortable and pleasant hostel.
A lovely small "no frills" hostel - fabulous staff make you feel very welcome.
Rolando was cute!! we spent a wonderful holiday in florence
The boss is so great,and the room, kitchen and bathroom are great too!We really enjoy our time there, if there were next time,I would like to stay again!
Great! Close to train station, owner was easy to reach via cellphone, very cooperative, no problems at all.
CAUTION!!! There was a sexual arrasment at this place by a staff member.
Amazing place!! Very clean and in the core of the city! Amazing staff also, Rolando is very cool and the hostel always have some salsa!!
Excelent, very nice
The best feature of this hostel is its location. Only 5 mins (max) or so from the train station, and five blocks from L'Accademia, it was in a great spot. Nothing else was spectacularly good or bad... it was pretty clean and cute, a little outdated, but overall a good (and cheap) place to stay.
great place -- would stay here next time i visit florence!
it was a really clean place to stay and rolando was friendly and helpful. people were nice. the place is really 2 minutes from the train station. the rooms are friendly and nice. there is a good atmosphare. i recommand for everybody who needs a cheap but perfect accomodation. thank you, rolando!
Ronaldo is a fantastic host! as soon as we arrived we were welcomed into the Starlight with a dance in the hall! the hotel position is so close to everything especially the train station. free internet was a bonus!
Fun and very helpful (booked our tickets to the museums for us) host that showed us all we needed to know on the map. Clean and quiet hostel. We were the only people using the bathroom next to us for our whole stay! Spread the occupancy of the rooms out over levels so very quiet which we loved!! Mosquito nets on windows!! Bonus!
We had a lovely stay here, the room was great and its in a good location for the town centre and the train station.
