Plus Hostel (Florence, Italy)
$-$$ — Via Santa Caterina, D’Alessandria 15 50129, Firenze, +39 055 628 6347. Beds from €17, double rooms from €52, and significantly more in the summer.
Book here.
An all-in-one hostel, this place has typically crowded en-suite dorm rooms
(with thin mattresses), private rooms, outdoor pool and deck, great outdoor
bar, fitness center, rooftop, and food available for any meal. The hallways are
weirdly stark but the central outdoor pool area is welcoming and a huge
breeding ground for making friends. In the winter, they also open their indoor
swimming pool, sauna, and Turkish spa! It’s conveniently located only a 10-
minute walk from the main train station.

Rome, Italy
YellowSquare (Rome, Italy)
$-$$ — Via Palestro, 51, Rome, +39 06 446 3554. Beds from €45, doubles from €70.
Book here.
YellowSquare is just a fun hostel. There’s no common area, so everyone
hangs out in the bar downstairs. People come here to socialize and party. It’s
a loud hostel in that respect, but since the party is separated from the main
area, you don’t really hear much in the rooms. They have strong water
pressure in the showers, plush beds, and decent enough Wi-Fi. They also run
walking tours throughout Rome.

Francescos (Ios, Greece)
$-$ — Francesco Plakiotis, Chora, Ios, +30 22 8609 1223. Beds from €20, double rooms from €45. Book here.
There’s a pool here, kitchen, very clean rooms, and comfy beds. The owners
are super friendly and accommodating, the porch area is a great place to
make new friends, and every night they have a hostel get-together so
everyone can meet people (with a free shot included!). Additionally, they
organize pub crawls (because it’s Ios and everyone comes here to party).
