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 stayed at the Franklin for 5 nights during our honeymoon in May 2011. The hotel is small and so doesn't have many facilities and is unfortunately not very restful, but as you're in Rome and unlikely to be spending much time in your hotel, it's a great base and a reasonable price. The rooms are clean and quite funky... More

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights during our vacation in Rome. The price was really good for the quality of the hotel. The rooms were very clean and well decorated. The breakfast was delicious (with lots of variety including salami, cheese, fruits, corn flakes, various drinks, Nutella etc.) and the hotel staff was very friendly. The hotel... More

We returned from our trip today and was not disappointed. I booked this trip through expedia for a suprise for my partners 30th birthday, when researching hotels near the vatican this one stood out. It is about 10 mins walk from the vatican and easy enough to walk too, it's quite a straight walk. The staff are very friendly and... More

We stayed at the Franklin recently for 4 nights.... I have to admit, it was the quirkiness with the discoball in the bathroom that first attracted me to the hotel and prompted me to make the reservation.. The room was small, but, very nicely equipped (a bit IKEAish in style, but, it suits my taste) and spotlessly CLEAN... The cleaning... More
