NEEKETTA - Arrival date: 18 June 2010 : Honestly, everything was great! The room, the staff, the location...everything. Always clean! It was within walking minutes of everything. It was very comfortable. It also helped that their was a kitchen area and laundry (considering we have been traveling for a month). They even gave us detergent to WASH our clothes! They had an espresso machine, which my friend loved! Honestly...one of the BEST places I have stayed. If I visit Florence again, it will be my number one pick. It felt more like a home, than a hostel. The staff was the BEST! They were so helpful!! They even scheduled us for another hostel and told us about the places to see. EXCELLENT!

You are close to everything, you have what you need close by, its clean, well run, convenient to the train station (10 min walk) access to a kitchen to make your own things to eat. The staff superb. Francesco was beyond helpful helping us with arrangements, reservations and just being an all around great guy. Paola was also helpful and great. Choose this hostel, its very worth the money. Can't recommend it enough.---------- SUSAN - Arrival date: 10 December 2008 . Il Ghiro was a perfect location to explore Florence, ideally centrally situated. We were impressed with the cleanliness and facilities, especially the heated towel rail, quality of the bed linen. We loved the fact that we could walk to the markets and explore the city, and were able to nip back to Il Ghiro to have a cup of tea, a rest for half an hour, drop off shopping. We enjoyed the picnics we had in our room in the evening with the windows of our room open and the smell of the rain .------------ NAOMI - Arrival date: 5 December 2008 . One of the best stays we have had! Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, cleaned daily room, cosy and with views! Great cooking facilities, tea and coffee all day, computer to use whenever you like for free, TV and DVD player, helpful travel advice, great people passing through from all over the world but small enough to feel like you are at home. Perfect to cook a meal after a busy day or for a good night's sleep. Highly recommended!!!!------------- AUDREY - Arrival date : 11 August 2008 : Wonderful stay! Nice big room, only a few minutes walk to the Duomo and Mercato Centrale, great Internet access... we have only good things to say about Il Ghiro. But best of all was the hospitality and helpfulness of Francesco, who stood out as a wealth of information even in a trip full of wonderfully helpful hosts. Would stay again!-----LAURA- Arrival date: 12 December 2007 : The best hostel I have ever stayed in!!-----Andrew - Arrival date: 10 November 2007 : great staff and location. good cooking facilites with stove, fridge, crockery, cutlery etc. eating area is also where internet is so becomes kind of common area. tv is always appreciated in the room too!---------SHARON - Arrival date: 1 September 2009 : This is a fantastic place to stay. It's only a 5 min walk to main train station and small supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, markets and main attractions. Francesco was the most welcoming, friendly and helpful person we have met on our travels and will do whatever he can to make your stay enjoyable. Our room at the front (Room 1) was lovely, airy and with air con. Bathroom was clean and nice. Bed comfy. Free wifi in rooms and free computer in reception area. Would definitely return and recommend to others. Big thanks to Francesco for booking our Ducati Museum tour for us!--- MARIJA - Arrival date: 10 August 2009 : Loved the staff!! Sooo nice, more than wiling to take their time and help. Close to the train station...sometimes it felt like you had your own little apartment. Amazing staff!!! ---- SANDRA - arrival date: 21 October 2009 : What a wonderful place, brilliant location - minutes from the station. Lovely spacious room, clean and comfortable with a lovely view to the hills. A nice touch to have a DVD player as well as the television in the room. A great bonus was access to a kitchen which was brilliant if you fancied a hot drink and cook yoursel, free internet access 24/7 on the reception pc and free wi-fi too. Francesco and Paola were so accommodating. This was our second visit to Florence and was so good we can't wait to visit again, we will definitely stay here again. Via Faenza is a perfect location as there are plenty of nice eateries within the street (Trattoria Nerone we tried a few times and loved), the market, bars and plenty of shops and relatively traffic free. Can't praise it enough, great place, great people, great location. Don't hesitate - stay there!


BRUNO - Arrival date: 22 October 2007 Amazing hostel!!!! Location is perfect, right by the train station and really close to all major sites in Firenze. Very clean and confortable with everything you need: kitchen, laundry, free internet and several guides available. But the best thing about Il Ghiro is the very interested and helpful Francesco who gave us amazing tips about the region and told us some of Firenze's interesting history.--------------- PETER - Arrival : 4 December 2008 . We enjoyed Il Ghiro so much we would like to return one day. It was excellent value for money and we will recommend it to our like-minded friends.


LEAH - Arrival date: 1 January 2008
The Il Ghiro was the best hostel I have ever stayed at! It is adorable, clean, well located, and the staff is just amazing. They speak english and are very helpful and friendly. They helped us find good restaurants and they have a new computer with free internet any time. Definitely stay here!


KURT - Arrival date: 22 April 2008 : This hostel is fantastic! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Comfortable rooms include TVs - it's like a hotel! ----------------------- MARIA - Arrival date: 1 June 2008 : Friendly and helpfull staff, in the historical center of Florence, very nice, clean and coasy room and bathroom. Excellent cooking facilities and fridge. Big plus for the silence. You can not believe you sleep in the very heart of city but in a nice and silent place.--------------ETIENNE - Arrival date: 30 November 2008 : This is just a down to earth, cheap, safe and great hostel. Highly recommended-------CARRIE - Arrival date: 21 March 2009 : Our stay at the Ghiro was wonderful. It's in a great location, and Paola was fantastic. She booked us dinner reservations for the night and told us about non-touristic sights to see in Florence! If you're on a budget and want a nice place to crash - stay here!
ANTHEA - Arrival date: 19 April 2008 : This is the best hostel I've stayed in anywhere - and after 12 months of backpacking I've stayed in a lot. More like a hotel, the rooms are very clean, bright and well furnished even with a TV and dvd player in our room. Location is excellent and no more than 10 minutes walk to all attractions and only 2 minutes from the main train station. The staff were lovely. They gave us a map on arrival and helped us plan our trip, they even booked our tickets to the local attractions.Would def stay here again.
