Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Florence Room, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (3rd floor or above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel is located on a relatively quiet street, Via Fiume, which is a smaller street compared to others in the city center.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the 1st floor may experience noise from the street, especially if you're a light sleeper, due to the proximity to the street level.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address doesn't provide a clear indication of a specific view, but rooms on higher floors may offer a partial view of the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-4 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and location.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is generally low on Via Fiume, but you may hear some occasional noise from nearby shops or restaurants.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to ensure a smooth process, as the hotel is located in a popular area and may experience a high volume of guests. Consider requesting a room with a window on the side of the hotel, as this may provide a better view and more natural light compared to rooms with windows on the Via Fiume side.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rate; avoid airport and tourist bureau exchange desks, which give poor rates and charge high fees.
Cards are widely accepted in most shops, restaurants and hotels, but carry some cash for small purchases, market stalls and very local cafés.
Not expected but appreciated for good service: round up the bill or leave a few euros for restaurants (no service charge added), small change for taxis, and €1 per bag for hotel porters.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A caffè (espresso) at the counter costs about €1.10–€1.50; avoided at seated tables where it can double.
A panino or pizza al taglio (by the slice) with a drink runs €6–€9 at bakeries or takeaway spots.
A pizza or pasta main in a trattoria on the outskirts of the historic centre costs around €10–€14.
Cheap eats cluster around the Mercato Centrale (ground floor for fresh food, upper floor pricier) and streets off Via dei Neri and Via de' Cerretani.
Carrefour, Coop, Penny Market and Lidl are the main budget chains; small local minimarkets (alimentari) are common but pricier.
Mass-market European chains like OVS, Zara, and H&M are on Via de' Cerretani and Via dei Calzaiuoli; for secondhand try the flea market at Piazza dei Ciompi.
A single bus/tram ticket (€1.70, valid 90 minutes) is the cheapest way around; from the airport, the take-away Tramvia line T2 AEROPORTO to Alamanni station costs €1.70. Day passes (€5 for 24h) if you ride more than twice.
Buy a Firenze Card only if you plan to visit many museums in a few days – otherwise pay per site; eat away from the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria where prices are inflated; book train tickets online in advance for cheaper fares.
