We booked this hotel for two reasons; we loved the idea of the musical theme and because it had family rooms, something we found difficult to find in Rome! This hotel is full of personal touches, they emailed us before we arrived to find out if they could help in anyway, give us a weather update and find out which... More

Very conveniently located to the Vatican. For most other sites in Rome (colloseum, trevi fountain, Spanish steps etc) it's a short walk and then a short subway ride. Beds are not very comfortable but the neighborhood is quiet and the hotel is clean. More

Great. This hotel has its music theme reflected in instruments as furniture and piano ties on the staff. CDs available in reception and a great stereo in the room - although it seems to default to loud volume so have the remote in one hand if turning it on to control the volume. It is modern (slightly Ikea-ish) which may... More

Older reviews are right. Great place to stay. We stayed 4 nights the first time and 2 the second. It’s a 10 min walk to the Metro, which gets you around quickly to the tourist attractions, or there’s a bus, 2 mins walk. If you are heading to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, it’s perfect, a 15 min walk. It’s... More

We just stayed in Rome for 4 days and loved the Franklin Feel the Sound Hotel. My husband, daughter (22 year old) and I shared a room. As expected, it was crowded with 3 adults but we had plenty of storage space, safe space, and bathroom space to be very comfortable. The beds were very firm - which we like.... More

Very clean and modern rooms, the offering of shampoo, body wash etc was strange though, I recommend taking your own. The product was good quality, but they were all liquid and they were in small glass dishes. Taking small slippery glass containers in the shower proved dangerous as one slipped out of my partner's hand and broke on the bathroom... More

The hotels location was great if you dont mind walking, we didnt use the metro once as you can see so much more of Rome if you walk everywhere. The area of the hotel was very safe we walked around last at night and never had a problem, I do feel the romes are quite basic for the 4 star... More

This hotel is nice and quirky and the sound system in the room is what makes the hotel. Our room was tiny, although the en suite was big enough, but the hotel had a nice shaded garden to sit in. Breakfast was good and there was always a supply of fresh juice and pastries in the lobby throughout the day,... More

we spent a few nights at the franklin hotel. we took the metro system to the station closest to our hotel which wasnt far but could have been closer, something to keep in mind if you have heavy bags. they were very friendly when we arrived. they will let you pick out cds from a bunch they have. these you...
