Many of us contributors on this site are, for the most part, formerly young travelers, who, thanks to the travel saving tips that Rick Steves has taught us, are now retired or nearly retired multimillionaires. As such not too many of us use hostels anymore, nevertheless the best sites to find hostels in Italy are Hostelworld.com, hostelbookers.com, agora.com, booking,com, and, if you are interested in a fully Italian website from the Italian Youth Hostel Association, you can also check the OstelliDellaGioventu.com.
Florence is a very safe city, therefore I’m sure that any of the selections you can find online will be safe.

@Roberto “ multimillionaires?” LOL.

Evolving after decades of travel: no shared bathrooms, flying Premium Economy, tap credit cards, well worn comfortable shoes, packing cubes, lower leg wallet, coin purse, no back packs, and staying in nice hotels.

Comfort over going cheap.

Definitely my laugh of the day. We are all Hungarian millionaires.

We are still cheap. We look for very low priced hotels. In Frankfurt, we stayed in Hotel Rossiya on Moselstrasse. Top girls. Fellas lying on the sidewalk in the mid-evening.
