Rough Guide
"Since opening in 2008, this modern hostel has won awards for its service and excellent facilities."
Frommer's
"If a gated courtyard right in the center appears rather a grand address for a hostel, that is because this is no ordinary student traveler dive."

Let's Go
"Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies."

Lofty ceilings, frescoed details and enormous beds may tempt guests to spend whole afternoons happily lounging here, but avoiding the city’s Tuscan charms is a challenge: outside, artisan-loved Oltrarno beckons with a bevy of piazzas, palazzos and perfectly formed eateries.
