We had previously stayed in this hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary in Dec 2010 and were suitably impressed. Returning to stay with family in three rooms in Dec 2011 was sadly disappointing. The location is great - 42 Euro in a taxi from the airport or 8 Euro by train to the Trastevere station followed by a 20 minute... More

The hotel is in a wonderful part of Rome - Trastevere is a lovely area with a lot of nice restaurants and bars and seems fairly safe. It's within walking distance of the Colosseum. But I cannot recommend this hotel. I was expecting great things from other reviews I'd seen and pictures online, and even the foyer gives a grand... More

Hotel San Francesco is a great find in the Trastevere in Rome. It is well-priced and very clean. Lovely restaurants are in a very short stroll as well as shops with regional food and wine. The staff is helpful and accommodating. I would certainly stay there again! More

First, the pros: -It is close to (but not in) the cool part of Trastavere (about 5 min walk ... And I loved Trastavere... Took family to Mass, parishioners were very friendly even though we were tourists) -It is accessible to several different bus routes making access to the center very easy. -Rome! -Breakfast wasnt bad, although after three days...

This hotel is great. The room is clean and by euro standards large. The hotel is located within the trastevere district which is full of great restaurants. Trastevere is close to all the things you want to see. We didn't catch a bus or train the whole time. Excellent breakfast. Reasonably priced. A welcome start to a long journey. More

Pros -Beautiful room with good style -Very comfortable bed -Helpful staff -Pretty good location in a fun part of Rome - about a 5-7 minute walk from the "heart" of Trastevere; highly recommended for people who have been to Rome before and looking for a location away from the standard tourist attractions Cons -Sketchy elevator -Spotty internet connection, needed to...

The location is one of the very best things about this hotel + excellent front desk staff. They were very good on local knowledge and advice about how to get where, and what to see. Easy to walk to a large number of the city's most popular sights (Vatican, Coleseum, Forum). A delightful part of the city, loads of good... More

Rome is a city where you get what you pay for when it comes to hotels. That may sound self evident but is particularly true in Rome. The price for the San Francesco is reasonable and the hotels amenities are reasonable. The front desk service staff are above average which might lead one to choose this hotel over the many... More

After spending wonderful 10 nights at the charming Hotel San Francesco it was difficult to leave. The accommodations were very comfortable, large lovely tile baths, very nice breakfast, the staff was always courteous, friendly, very helpful and even provided some excellent local restaurant recommendations. We loved the quaint neighborhood location in residential Trastevere. We discovered a neaby wine shop, a... More
