Rooms
Cheap accommodation in Florence should not compromise on comfort: the city is a busy and hectic place so it's important for us at Academy Hostels to do as much as possible to ensure our guests can get comfortable night sleep. You will find the Academy Hostels amazingly quiet for being located in the centre of Florence but at the same time, for the ones who want to enjoy Florence nightlife, you will find restaurants, bars, clubs and the best spots in town within a few minutes walking distance.

The Academy Hostels is a rather small Hostel and can welcome 24/26 guests. Our well-maintained dormitory rooms with just 3 to 6 beds (no bunk beds) make a very familiar and friendly environment.
All rooms are air-conditioned and have lockers for your valuables. Wi-Fi connection, free usage of computers in the lobby and all bed linen is provided free of charge.
