Ostello Tasso

Beautiful place in charming area - it used to be elementary school. The reception with bar was just wow impression. The guy who checked us in was really nice. The room was basic but for us enough -we excepted it. Shared toilet was cleaned every day. When we were there (November) was really calm - no parties at all. The only small minus it was just the bed - I slept well but my partner felt some springs underneath.

The room was clean enough, there are no parties in October, which is a plus, so it was nice and quiet. Although the doors of the room are very thin and not sound proof, so you can hear everyone going through the hallway. Also the mattres was very work out, thin and with a dump in the middle, so not the most comfortable.

Good hostel, especially good value for your money. Rooms are clean and there is a good-working airconditioning. Location is fine; it’s a nice and safe neighborhood, just not in the centre but everything is walkable in Florence. The host is really friendly.

The place is beautifully located in a very good spot, the city overall is very walkable. The receptionist guy was super friendly and welcoming he even gave us a map and suggested good places for the day, I haven't experienced the inside bar, i was out all day, but the reception looked nicely decorated ,very retro The room is not very big but cozy and had a nice view from the window, my only complaint is the AC it takes AGES to cool the room completely also the mirror could be bigger, Beware of mosquitos and don't leave the window open during the night, it's a common Florence issue

Room was so clean and has high level ceilings. İt doesnt includes towel and slippers so bring with you. Staff was so friendly

Some Pros, a lot of Cons: Room was clean and nice, no faults with it. We didnt expect extravagance. On sunday there was music playing downstairs til midnight, it was so loud our window was shaking at times. We weren't warned of this when checking in, couldn't see any signs, nor does the events page on their website display this info. Its not immediately clear when booking that this is also the case. Ontop of the loud music the hallways acted as a communal space for the shared dorms and because the doors are old and wooden you can hear a lot of noise. The AC broke on the second night after the hallway had a leak. The staff were very nice, it was very casually operated which was alright. The location is a bit out of the centre, but an easy enough walk. It did mean you were closer to cafes and restaurants that were outside of the tourist centre and so they were cheaper.

I wish the air con was set cooler. Very hot night and the room is still hot. Everything else is great.

The place is terrible end Very rude . It was our last night in Florence and it was a terrible night because of the rudeness of the hotel. They had a party with loud music and we couldn't sleep. It was a terrible disappointment. It's awful that you go to a hotel , a place to sleep and have some quiet and there is a party in the lobby 10 meter from your bed . Like an actual party with a dj . Very bad !!!!!

I'm a few months late from posting this review, but I highly, highly recommend staying here on any future Florence travels. (Especially if you've previously visited Florence before.) As a solo traveler, this place was perfect! First of all, Romina was amazing, amazing hostess with the most-ess! She literally knows everything and anything that's going on in Florence; and she even has her own app!! From the best tiramisu in town to live music, to the "hot new restaurant" - she'll guide your way. So this gorgeous "hostel" was previously an elementary school... gorgeous architecture with marble floors! (I'm sure not too many hostels have that...) But if you can remember your old small gymnasium.. well yeah, that's the main "lobby" part of Tasso, with a bunch of tables and sofas to lounge. And the gym stage is where Tasso hosts the frequent local music acts that play on the weekend! Yeah... how cool is that?!? :) My solo room was quite large, extremely comfortable bed... locker inside to stow my belongings. (Just remember to bring your own combo lock with.) Shared bathroom was totally fine.. i never had to wait; nor do I think I even remember hearing anyone else go in there. ?? Loved this place! It was a total yelp find.. I can't recommend high enough. And I'll absolutely stay here again with future visits to Florence. Being on the other side of the Arno was great... it was certainly "less touristy". I stayed in Florence for a few days, so I even found "my own coffee shop" that i'd frequent because I stayed at Tasso. Tons of charm... amazing service.... totally secure location... comfortable beds... and I met the coolest people from all over the world!

BEST HOSTEL. This was our favorite hostel throughout our entire Euro-trip. Clean, single beds, high ceilings, great staff, amazing location, air conditioning, the list goes on! We always cabbed to the train station because it was only €14 and we had a group, but you could walk if you're up for a 25 minute trek, not bad at all. Make sure you book in advance to stay here in Florence! We had the best trip here and credit that partially to the wonderful hostel.

Ring this big wooden gate bell and get in! Some of the most crowded late night venues in Florence are behind closed doors. This is mainly a hostel with fair prices, but during the night the main room is also a more and more notorious place where local bands play live. The other evening there was a 50/60's concert and people were so pressed that they were dancing also if staying still! Cocktails and beers for 5 €, a wide terrace/garden that serves as smoking and chilling area, some sofas and tables all around that can also be reserved. The place can also be booked for private events. Check their facebook page to be informed on upcoming events.

Phenomenal place! The rooms were nice, had comfy beds, and their own heating. The bathrooms are terrific with big showers and hot water. The best part of this place was the 'atmosphere'. Inside is a classy bar, lounge piano, and stage. I met some really cool people here and the employees themselves were so nice! For the price (which is very cheap) I really recommend staying here. Beats a hotel any night.
