I was quite satisfied with this affordable hotel. ##### Avelino Jr Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Helena 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lena in Italy Room and bathroom was very clean. Not a brand new bathroom but had all the necessary amenities. Location and price were good. ##### Helena Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 30 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.

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. ##### Fadi Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Eliot 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really great experience ##### Eliot Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### roberto 1 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel for the price was a great value ##### roberto ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giorgio 6 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the hotel's decor all based on musical instruments is very nice ##### Giorgio Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Vibeke 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Good ##### Vibeke Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl Ann Hall MS LPC for 5 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Gem of a tiny place.

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 !

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! ##### Lynn Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eileen 11 Mar 2024 Disliked: Staff & service 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. ##### Eileen Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Telma 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was a unpleasant odor all the way inside the property and they try to cover and was even worst ##### Telma Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jocelyn 10 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jocelyn Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 13 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Good stay with one glitch 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. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [THE ONE Boutique Hotel & SPA Rome ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-THE-ONE-Boutique-Hotel-SPA.h27059030.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spring House Hotel Rome Vatican, Tapestry Collection Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-The-Spring-House-Hotel-Rome-Vatican.h83532.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Royal-House.h7499110.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud 7 Roma Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Cloud-7-Roma-Hotel.h111600618.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Rêve De Naim - Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Spagna-Royal-Suite.h4332905.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique Relais Barozzi & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Boutique-Relais-Bramante.h35785753.Hotel-Information) > > [Gisa Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Gisa-Apartment.h17503544.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Empire Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Empire-Palace-Hotel.h535831.Hotel-Information) > > [Precise House Mantegna Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Precise-House-Mantegna-Roma.h1680767.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Monti Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Casa-Monti-Roma.h102565359.Hotel-Information) > > [Domus Tiberina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Domus-Tiberina.h2686843.Hotel-Information) > > [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h1611481.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Mirage.h2542677.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Tulip Rome Piram](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Golden-Tulip-Rome-Piram.h1406673.Hotel-Information) > > [Rhome Hosting ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Rhome-Hosting-GuestHouse.h7511257.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Britannia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-The-Britannia-Hotel.h20255.Hotel-Information) > > [Donna Camilla Savelli – VRetreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Donna-Camilla-Savelli-VRetreats.h2113088.Hotel-Information) > > [hu Roma Camping In Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Roma-Camping-In-Town.h4161322.Hotel-Information) > > [Numa Rome Linea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Capitol.h33356684.Hotel-Information) > > [Ostello Bello Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Edera.h12913.Hotel-Information) > > [Antico Albergo del Sole al Pantheon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Antico-Albergo-Del-Sole-Al-Pantheon.h879940.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Castellino Roma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Castellino-Roma.h1366353.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Rome Eur La Lama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hilton-Rome-Eur-Convention-Center.h44681998.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Hotel Rome Termini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Hotel-Rome-Termini.h2219845.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Patria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Patria.h184435.Hotel-Information) > > [LH Hotel Excel Roma Montemario](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Excel-Roma-Montemario.h1436633.Hotel-Information) > > [SUITE SISTINA FOR BRAVE LOVERS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-SuiteSistina-For-Lovers.h2534859.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-InterContinental-Rome-Ambasciatori-Palace.h14529.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel 55 Fifty five](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-55-Fiftyfive.h38521049.Hotel-Information) ---
