Franklin is a cute little 3 star hotel, with very friendly staff and a decent breakfast spread (nothing terribly exciting, but definitely enough to get you going in the morning). The rooms are fine and the cd selection and sound systems are a cute touch. I could occasionally hear some noises from neighboring rooms, but nothing too bad. The bath... More

This was a great experience! The Franklin (with its quirky musical theme) offers the American visitor with a quaint and different lodging experience. The staff are attentive, the rooms are clean and neat, and the morning breakfast is a good blend of American and European tastes. Each room has its own CD system and there is a nice collection of...

I stayed in Franklin Hotel for four nights in november/2011 and didn't get disappointed. The reception desk and lobby are small and simple, yet clean and welcoming, with a nice decoration. Staff was kind and attentive and room service was efficient. Breakfast was acceptable, with a very good cappuccino. Rooms could be a bit larger, but still it offered comfort... More

This hotel is ideally situated for a trip to Rome. Within easy walking distance from the Vatican with all its museums, churches and history, you can easily get to the city centre on foot or by metro. The staff are so welcoming and do anything they can to help with your visit. Loved the courtyard restaurant where breakfast is served.... More

After completing a Globus Tours "Best of Italy" for 11 days, my wife and I wanted to see more of what Roma had to offer. We found the Franklin to be a great little neighborhood gem, and enjoyed a few days living among the locals for a change, instead of a chain hotel. The room was very clean, the staff... More

Great little Hotel. Standard rooms are spacious, clean and have Sky TV, WIFI, hairdryer and stereo (with speakers in the bathroom). CD's can be picked up at reception where they also offer coffee and juice - along with cakes & buns - for free throughout the day. Hotel is a few minutes walk away from the nearest Metro station, but... More

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
