The Five Star Hostel
The Five Star Hostel is actually located inside a Medieval tower in Florence, which is exceptionally cool. The hostel is very close to Piazza Santa Croce and the Ponte Vecchio, so most of Florence’s main sights are within walking distance. And while Florence is famous for its art, The Five Star Hostel also happens to be right in the midst of some of the best nightlife the city has to offer.
Thankfully, the hostel’s 11th century building has retained some of its historic charm – but the good news is that The Five Star Hostel features new bathrooms and air conditioning. Just because you sleep in a Medieval tower does not mean you should live like it is the Dark Ages! The building has also been updated to include a TV lounge, fully equipped kitchen and an internet cafe. The look might still seem ancient, but you will live well during your stay here.
Some of the amenities you will find at The Five Star Hostel are:
- Free linens and towels available
- Free breakfast
- Free internet access and WiFi access
- Luggage storage and security lockers
- Guest kitchen available and laundry service upon request
- No lockout or curfew
The Five Star Hostel features a few free amenities which always help to stretch your travel budget. Guests can enjoy free breakfast in the hostel’s internet cafe, and free internet access as well – always a treat. In addition, the hostel staff can also take care of arranging museum reservations, wine tasting tours, horseback riding trips, daytrips into the Chianti region, taxi service to the airport, and much more.
When you are visiting a city that is as historic as Florence, it is really something to be able to sleep in an historic building and not just look at them. Staying in The Five Star Hostel will help make your Florence trip even more special.
