It was just okay, like nothing really stood out as good and the breakfast was not as filled as pictured, also the little espresso coffee maker was small and the water jug is like a 2 liter that you get from the store for everyone to share. I feel like the pricing should be lower for the quality tbh, stayed at other hotels with similar pricing that were just cleaner and nicer overall, it is a best western though so there’s that, also the disco ball was cool.

First time in Roma and I was very happy with the room, staff, and service. The location is also good. I forgot a ring and Stefano replied immediately when I texted via WhatsApp. I was able to recover it because a friend went to pick it up. Stefano was very kind and helpful.
Thank you, I will return again.

No chance to eat breakfast because of airport shuttle schedule.
Walls of my room need cleaning. Very marked up. Also, visible water stains on ceiling.
Very clean, otherwise. Good hot water and pressure.
Maybe it's particularly American but I was surprised I had to locate blankets in the closet.
Bar soap preferable at sink. Towels were nicely sized and neatly prepared. Safe in room was a welcome amenity as we're the slippers.
Biggest complaint is noise. The bar/club noise next door is a big problem as are the wandering partying guests outside yelling etc.
A feature of the hotel is the rooftop bar but it was inaccessible to guests because it was reserved for an 18 year old's birthday party.
Brown water poured from my faucet briefly as it did for another guest next door.
Staff friendly and helpful. Shuttle on time and reasonably priced. It was an amenity in choosing the hotel. Good location for harbor views and restaurants and not too far from spectacular Roman ruins.

A Perfect Roman Stay – Music, Warmth, and Unbeatable Location!

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!

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. Bus r

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.

Hidden musical Gem

A little far from the station but doable if you only have 1 bag each. There are good restaurants nearby with really reasonable prices that the staff can recommend. The theme is very musical and in our room we had snare drums as night tables. The bathroom had a second optional light that was blue and shone on a disco ball. Sadly the aux connection on the cd player/radio didn't work. Room cleaning was okay but missed essentials like more coffee or tissue in the restroom. The front desk staff was excellent giving great advice about the local area from food to markets. The breakfast you can have there was great for 5 Euro a person buffet style breakfast. Includes some meat, fruit, breads, pastries, coffee, jam, Nutella and more.

Was a little difficult to find. I'd recommend to them to post a picture of the door ornaments to make it easier for travelers.

The property is staffed by caring individuals who strive to make the guests welcome, but it falls short in terms of upkeep and amenities. We honeymooned here eight years ago and found a quite different ambiance.

The rooms are tiny and stoic. They lack a feeling of being comfortable after a day of touring, etc. there's no comfortable area in check in or the room to relax.

Also, we were surprised that there was none of the typical hotel amenities like shampoo, conditioner etc. that one expects in their room. Formerly, they had lovely displays of same.

Transportation is a bit of a walk to the nearest metro, Octaviano station. The neighborhood is lovely and authentic, but bit of a stretch to catch a taxi. The staff is happy to call one of asked, but don't expect the accessibility on the street.

The staff was very polite at all times. They indicated they are trying to upkeep after many ownership turnovers.

We did leave earlier than expected due to family emergency and left several days room cost on the table due to non refundable proviso through Expedia. This is very unfortunate.

Family fun

My son and I stayed at a double room. Close to the Vatican and served by useful bus lines 23 and 70, as well as the nearby metro, it was the perfect location outside the main city. The music concept is brilliant! Staff is helpful and nice. We will come again.

Very nice hotel and good locati

I loved to stay in Franklin hotel. Staffs were very nice and this hotel located not too far from the metro. I would come back to this hotel if I were to come to Rome again.

Staff were all very helpful. Guests had to leave the hotel key at the front desk whenever leaving the hotel which was a bit annoying.

A Great Story to Tell Others Back Home

The people were nice- I couldn't find any quality tv late night in English- this was frustrating

Nice quite hotel close to everything

Was a brilliant stay! The hotel was only 10min from the Vatican City but could easily walk everywhere! Restaurants around the area were amazing! The hotel staff were always there to help with any issues or questions, room was lovely and big and comfy bed! The sound system was brilliant a real bonus!
