Tasso

Ring this big wooden gate bell and get in!
Some of the most crowded late night venues in Florence are behind closed doors.
This is mainly a hostel with fair prices, but during the night the main room is also a more and more notorious place where local bands play live.
The other evening there was a 50/60’s concert and people were so pressed that they were dancing also if staying still!
Cocktails and beers for 5 €, a wide terrace/​garden that serves as smoking and chilling area, some sofas and tables all around that can also be reserved.
The place can also be booked for private events.
Check their facebook page to be informed on upcoming events.

BEST HOSTEL. This was our favorite hostel throughout our entire Euro-​trip. Clean, single beds, high ceilings, great staff, amazing location, air conditioning, the list goes on! We always cabbed to the train station because it was only € 14 and we had a group, but you could walk if you’re up for a 25 minute trek, not bad at all.
Make sure you book in advance to stay here in Florence! We had the best trip here and credit that partially to the wonderful hostel.

Phenomenal place! The rooms were nice, had comfy beds, and their own heating. The bathrooms are terrific with big showers and hot water. The best part of this place was the ‘atmosphere’. Inside is a classy bar, lounge piano, and stage. I met some really cool people here and the employees themselves were so nice! For the price (which is very cheap) I really recommend staying here. Beats a hotel any night.

I’m a few months late from posting this review, but I highly, highly recommend staying here on any future Florence travels. (Especially if you’ve previously visited Florence before.)
As a solo traveler, this place was perfect! First of all, Romina was amazing, amazing hostess with the most-​ess! She literally knows everything and anything that’s going on in Florence; and she even has her own app! From the best tiramisu in town to live music, to the «hot new restaurant» — she’ll guide your way.
So this gorgeous «hostel» was previously an elementary school… gorgeous architecture with marble floors! (I’m sure not too many hostels have that…) But if you can remember your old small gymnasium. well yeah, that’s the main «lobby» part of Tasso, with a bunch of tables and sofas to lounge. And the gym stage is where Tasso hosts the frequent local music acts that play on the weekend! Yeah… how cool is that?!? :)
My solo room was quite large, extremely comfortable bed… locker inside to stow my belongings. (Just remember to bring your own combo lock with.)
Shared bathroom was totally fine. i never had to wait; nor do I think I even remember hearing anyone else go in there. ??
Loved this place! It was a total Unilocal find. I can’t recommend high enough. And I’ll absolutely stay here again with future visits to Florence.
Being on the other side of the Arno was great… it was certainly «less touristy». I stayed in Florence for a few days, so I even found «my own coffee shop» that i’d frequent because I stayed at Tasso.
Tons of charm… amazing service… totally secure location… comfortable beds… and I met the coolest people from all over the world!
