'RE-DAMA HOSTEL, Florence

The hostel is in a quiet residential area, a 3-4 minute walk from the Muratori tram stop. The T1 tram reaches Florence Central Station (Santa Maria Novella) and the historic centre in about 10 minutes (4-5 stops). Florence Airport is 7 km away. The Fortezza da Basso Convention Center is a 12-minute walk, and Palazzo Vecchio is 2 km. A supermarket is a 2-minute walk, and several restaurants and pizzerias are within 0.5 km.

Rooms include single, twin, double, triple, and family configurations, all with private bathrooms with shower and bidet. Each room has air conditioning, a work desk, and a balcony (in many rooms). Furnishings are minimalist: no wardrobe (just a rail with a few hangers), no TV, and limited storage space. Some rooms are small (approx. 9 m2). Road-facing rooms and rooms near the lift can be noisy; higher-floor, end-of-corridor rooms are quieter. The bathroom layout in some rooms has the toilet and bidet within the shower area, causing the floor to get wet. Multiple confirmed reports of bed bugs. Rooms facing the street may have mosquitoes; plug-in repellents are available at reception.
