It's hard to love an Italian hostel, yet the Archi Rossi won us over. Just a three-minute walk from the train station, it's convenient, clean, charming, and offers some of the cheapest rates we found in Florence.

Inside the lobby, guests are greeted by a funky and rather impressive mural, generated by the artistic former clientele.

Rooms are remarkably clean (this is a hostel, after all; remarkable cleanliness deserves a mention!) with super high ceilings and white walls. Cute wrought iron bunk beds and pressed wood furniture with individual, locking cabinets lend a sleek, modern feel to the place. Stretch out on the soft hotel-like bedding, or relax in the statue garden or out on the bright second-floor terrace.

Bathrooms are tidy and functional. The staff (including resident sheepdog Dam) are cool and quite helpful. OK, Dam is more cool than helpful. But our point is that the style level here is quite a bit higher than it is at many hostels, in Florence and elsewhere.

Note: This hostel has had issues with overbooking. It's a good idea to double check your reservation prior to arrival.
