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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liudmila 24 Jul 2025 It is a great cosy hotel just 20 min walk from Vatican museums.

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. ##### Alicia F St Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marko 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice, quiet place, close to buses, metro, tram and the Vatican.

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. ##### Avelino Jr Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Vibeke 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Good ##### Vibeke Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 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 ### 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 #### Cheryl Ann Hall MS LPC for 5 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Gem of a tiny place.

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 #### 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Cihan 22 Jul 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This is not a family-friendly hotel, far from it 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 ##### Cihan Stayed 3 nights in Jul 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.
