About
Florence Room B&B
Florence Room B&B keeps things simple and honest. The property has six rooms, so the atmosphere is more guesthouse than hotel. It sits on Via Fiume, a street that's convenient for both the central station and the historic centre. The building has a lift, which is a relief after a day of walking. Rooms come with air conditioning, soundproofing, and tea and coffee facilities, plus flat-screen TVs and free toiletries. The in-room breakfast is a plus for early risers.
The real talking point is the staff. A receptionist named Boris gets repeated, specific praise across reviews for being kind, helpful, and attentive. He handles everything from room cleaning to serving breakfast, and guests regularly say he makes the stay. The breakfast itself is simple Italian fare — coffee, yogurt, fruit, packaged pastries and jams — often brought to your room at your requested time. It's not lavish, but it's enough to set you up for a day of sightseeing.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited English spoken by staff — The main receptionist, Boris, doesn't speak much English. While guests note that communication is still possible, it may be a hurdle for those expecting a fully English-speaking team.
- Breakfast is basic — Though convenient, the breakfast is simple – mostly packaged items and basic beverages. Those expecting a lavish spread may be disappointed.
- Small bathroom in some rooms — At least one guest found the bathroom to be tiny, though the shower was good. If you're used to spacious bathrooms, this could be a consideration.
- Early check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which may feel early for travellers who like a slow morning or a later departure.
