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." Full review
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." Full review

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.
Afar Magazine "A stylish-yet-homely ‘Residenza d’Epoca’ housed in a 16th-century palazzo in Florence’s boho-chic Oltrarno neighbourhood...one of the nicest small hotels in Florence. " Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Oltrarno's boho, artisanal vibe makes it Florence's hottest neighborhood, and these super-stylish suites fit right into the hipster landscape." Full review
Fodor's "Funky, eclectic, and cool, Soprarno Suites is a rusticly-chic bed & breakfast with an ideal location." Full review

Michelin Guide "The suites are more than spacious enough, and also more than comfortable enough, add to them the convenience of a library, a record collection...a very stylish, very civilized residential-style hotel." Full review
