Hotel Franklin Feel The Sound

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.

Overall it was a good hotel. Not very many amenities, didn’t feel like hotel but more like apartment. It was in a residential neighborhood with only 2 restaurants on the block. However it was only 10 min walk from everything which was very nice. The staff was amazing though!!! Super friendly and Marco was the best he was so nice and helpful. We had a great experience.

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!

La sympathie et l'amabilité de l'ensemble du personnel ont été constantes durant tout le séjour. Les transports publics sont accessibles en 2 mn pour les bus et en 12mn pour le métro. Le Vatican est à un quart d'heure à pied. L'hôtel est propre et agréable avec une cour intérieure pour prendre le petit-déjeuner. Le quartier est calme.

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

Gem of a tiny place. I will definitely stay again in this one of a kind place. Breakfast delicious and cute atmosphere.

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

Good value for money and close to the Vatican City. Public transport access excellent. Nearby corner shops for Knick knack. Walk with your favourite CD to play otherwise listen to the radio. Love the disco lights in the bathroom. Breakfast is just right, continental with good variety, consistent. You and dine in or outside in the garden. Brilliant staff days and night especially Marco.

We had a lovely 2 night stay here. Room was clean, bed and pillows were super comfortable and hotel was walking distance to the Vatican. We had a toddler with us, and found the facilities were adequate for our family.

Desayuno pobre! La humedad y ácaros en la habitación increíble! Casi nos enfermamos ! Estuvimos 4 noches! No recomendaría y no volvería ir a esta propiedad

Habitación limpia y amplia

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.

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.

Room was very clean and staff were very helpful and courteous.

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

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

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

1층 프론트 옆에 901호와 902호 중 901호에 숙박하였음 다른 유럽호텔에 비해 비교적 넓은 편이였으나 호텔 룸 내에 하수관이 있어 더워지면 하수구 남새가 올라옴

Staff were friendly and very accommodating. The AC (aircon) was very weak causing the room to be so warm and hot! We couldn't sleep well. We reported it but nothing happened. The wifi was so weak and we can't use it well for our personal use.

friendly staff, comfortable and clean rooms, great location (walking distance to the vatican and many restaurants and shops). would stay here again!

It is a great cosy hotel just 20 min walk from Vatican museums. The hotel looks brand new. The room is spacious. The mattress and pillows are comfy.

Awesome rooms for the price

Good value for money and close to the Vatican City. Public transport access excellent. Nearby corner shops for Knick knack. Walk with your favourite CD to play otherwise listen to the radio. Love the disco lights in the bathroom. Breakfast is just right, continental with good variety, consistent. You and dine in or outside in the garden. Brilliant staff days and night especially Marco.

The hotel is easily accessible by public transport from the main stations, but still in a more quiet area. The check in went very smoothly and the staff is very nice and welcoming, they let us leave our luggage after check out for the rest of the day. The room was very nice, clean and we were not disappointed by the disco ball in the bathroom ! Overall a great experience !

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

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.

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.

Local acanhado mas bem localizado para quem vai priorizar o Vaticano. Quartos bons, cozinha pequena e pouca variedade alimentos. Atendentes pouco simpaticos.

The staff at Hotel Franklin Feel the Sound were always ready to help with any concerns. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Rooms were not big but very comfortable. Who can complain when you have a disco ball in your bathroom. Really enjoyed our stay at this Hotel. Five Stars!!

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

Inexpensive and tasty breakfast options.

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.
