Staying at the Academy Hostel in Florence, it is very hard to find a reason not to like it.
Based in the center of Florence, just meters from the cathedral you might skip some sightseeing and sit in the spacious common room, finding yourself watching TV, chatting with other travelers or just enjoy the beautifully working air condition.
Not like other hostels in town, the Academy really knows what backpackers need, not trying to squeeze the last Euro out of you with the service they offer.
Free internet and wifi, free breakfast, single beds, big rooms, secure lockers. Bed sheets and towels are included. At check in you are provided with a reading lamp and a key for your locker. The hostel is open 24 hours, has a little snack kitchen and good priced vending machines. Washing and drying is cheaper than anywhere else in Florence. The whole hostel is very clean and the bathrooms make you feel like in a 4 star hotel (paper towels, soap dispensers, hygienic paper layers for the toilet seat).
If you are lucky, you get to stay in a room with a gallery, not minding to take a few steps up the stairs to your bed. All rooms have air conditioning and a device keeping mosquitoes away. The well working shutters make sure that you won’t be woken by the sun after a long night out.
Overall, the Academy Hostel should be an example to most hostel owners in town, showing them that there is a way to provide travelers with a place to stay they will remember. The hostel is run by heart and the friendly staff always makes sure that you have a great stay.
