Hotel Franklin Feel The Sound

Nice, quiet place, close to buses, metro, tram and the Vatican. Wonderful restaurants nearby, especially the Antico Falcone (Via Trionfale), and good ice cream at Manny's Gelateria (Largo Trionfale).

Limpia, desayuno rico, como se desayuna en Italia. Proceso de check in rapido

This hotel has air conditioning which is needed during summer. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to St Peter’s Basilica and to the metro. The staff are quite helpful and friendly. A special shout-out to Marco for his excellent work! You also get a free bottled water which was a nice touch. All in all. I was quite satisfied with this affordable hotel.

近くにスーパーもあり便利たが、周囲の臭いが気になった。 朝食も7時から10時までされており使いやすかった。

Nuestro cuarto muy limpio y amplio. Muy rico y variado desayuno. Nos gustó su localización . Solo si llegaba derrepente un olor a basura, eso no nos gustó.

Good

A Perfect Roman Stay – Music, Warmth, and Unbeatable Location! We had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Franklin Feel the Sound for 10 nights in April 2025, and we can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, the location is outstanding — just a 5-minute walk to the Vatican Museums, 10 minutes to St. Peter’s Square, and only 7 minutes to the Ottaviano metro station, making it incredibly easy to explore all of Rome. For food lovers, you're in luck: two fantastic restaurants, Falcone and Convivial, are located just steps away at the end of the street. We dined at both and were thoroughly impressed. The hotel itself has a cozy atmosphere and is clean without reproach. But what truly sets Franklin apart is the exceptional staff. Every team member I encountered was welcoming, professional, and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Whether it was helping with directions, restaurant tips, or general city advice, they were always eager to assist. Special thanks to Stefano and Marco, who stood out for their kindness, knowledge, and genuine hospitality — they made us feel like a valued guest from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a well-located, friendly, and memorable place to stay in Rome, we wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Franklin Feel the Sound. We would return in a heartbeat!

Super sejour dans un hôtel charmant et bien placé à côté du Vatican et de super restaurants...séjour très agréable

Nettes Personal, gute Lage , 11 min von der Metrostation entfernt, 12 min von der Vatikan. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber , Bad genauso. Kleinigkeiten im Bad sollten erneuert werden, wie die Dichtung um die Badewanne. Frühstück war zwar lecker, leider jeden Tag das gleiche ,,,, schade. Sonst alles freundlich und empfehlenswert.

Really great experience

the hotel's decor all based on musical instruments is very nice

Molta polvere nella stanza e anche il bagno non era pulito alla perfezione, diciamo cosi.... Stanza fredda con uno split che a fatica riesce a scaldare, in bagno non c'era nulla per scaldare, ho utilizzato il phon. Anche la colazione lascia a desiderare. Non credo tornerò. Una nota positiva, il personale alla reception

Hotel not signed apart from one projected on the ground outside. Bit difficult to find, even with Google Maps. Room a bit disappointing as expected something as music related and furnished as one I had in Barcelona. But, had a good bed, small desk (with coffee making machine) and chair, large wardrobe with safe and decent bathroom with a shower stall, which was ok for me but, er, larger people may find it too small. All very clean with cleaners in everyday to make up bed and tidy up. Maybe a bit basic, but it ticked all the boxes for required facilities. Has a pleasant courtyard for meals out back for breakfast if not raining. My room was on the first floor with a patio door opening onto a common area overlooking the courtyard, with tables and chairs outside each of the three first floor rear rooms. Can sit out in the evenings if you choose. There is a modern lift for the four floors of the hotel. I've seen reviews for other hotels describing them as being 'tired' hotels, despite great photos on Expedia. Not this one. Possibly a bit basic but you are going out in Rome not staying in your room. Receptionists very helpful sorting a faulty safe ASAP and showing me the best aircon setting as on the first night I didn’t have it. Other friendly chatting re the football & can borrow cds for the cd player/radio in the room. The two guys in the breakfast room were great and very friendly. 15 mins from St Peter's Square, about 20 from Ottiavano metro. Bus r

Absolutely no chance that this is a 4 star hotel. Paint peeling off the roof and the entire room was tired and not clean. Breakfast was so disappointing and the staff were the rudest I have ever met. I loved Prague but the hotel was dilapidated and the staff were dreadful. I actually complained to Jet2 whilst there.

Insgesamt sehr angenehmes Hotel, die Zimmer nach hinten zum Hof sind sehr ruhig (die zur Straße kann ich nicht beurteilen, da ich eines zum Hof hatte). Das Personal ist freundlich, die Auswahl beim Frühstück könnte etwas besser sein.

Room and bathroom was very clean. Not a brand new bathroom but had all the necessary amenities. Location and price were good.

Para nós a hospedagem foi muito boa. É perto do Vaticano e para ir ao centro tem um metro perto do hotel. O atendimento fou muito bom, pessoas atenciosas e prestativas.

I would personally not recommend this hotel for families. There are only 2 family rooms and both are located down by the reception and to make matters worse, the rooms are also right next to where the breakfast buffet is. The room we got had no wardrobes which is very impractical if you have children and plan to be in Rome for several days. The room (902) also has a very bad smell, which they try to mask with a lot of air freshener. Pros: Location, situated in a nice place Wifi Authentic decoration Cons: Small room and moldy smell Very dirty and used room Poor lighting Disappointing breakfast buffet

It was a unpleasant odor all the way inside the property and they try to cover and was even worst

Overall we had a good stay. It was a unique hotel - we had a mirror disco ball in the bathroom. Comfy beds, good a/c. Location was good for the Vatican. Our issue was with the service. Stefano in particular. We were quoted one price for an airport transfer and then an hour later with Stefano, we were quoted 20 euros higher and he gave us quite an attitude. I was shocked that someone in hospitality would behave this way. He should not be front facing with customers. We all got the vibe from him that he hated tourists.
