Just perfect! I reserved directly through them "www.hostelarchirossi.com" and didn't pay any commission for the reservation. Computers in the rooms with unlimited internet access! Best breakfast ever! Free walking-tours of Florence (only minus point it's only in English and my English is so so) great garden (would love to see it in summer time). Nice helpful staff, they even spoke French! I stayed in a room for 4 with private bathroom, very clean and I had no problems sleeping. It was great for meeting people, mostly in the huge TV room were I also ate once at dinner at their restaurant, it was cheap and surprisingly good! Well placed, near to all the tourist attractions and the main train station, but they've got no parking spots, so for me and my car it was kind of difficult but I found a spot not far at all of the hostel. I would definitely go back there!

I loved staying at Archi Rossi. The staff was efficient, if not overly friendly. The rooms were large and clean, with private bathrooms and lots of friendly people. There was a big room to watch movies (there was an outstanding collection of movies) and meet other people. Best of all it was only a few minutes from the train station, and just a block away from the medici chapel. The Uffizi and the Accademia and the Duomo aren't far away either. There may be more beautiful hostels in Florence, but they are so far away, I think it's more worth it to stay at Archi Rossi.
