spent 3 days in Rome at the hotel. Booked 2 rooms - 3 people per room and 1 room for 2. Great hotel just make sure that you state that you do not want a small room. My brother and his wife were first given a small room and the bed was pushed up to the wall. After he complained he was given a larger room. Rooms were very clean,cd players in each ...
Very cozy hotel. The rooms were clean and the inclusive continental breakfast had lots of variety and was good. Considering the price of hotel rooms elsewhere, this was a good bargain at 125 euros.

We booked a 3br at the Franklin, but it was a double with an extra bed squashed (and i do mean squashed) in. We didnt even have space to put our suitcases on the floor. The room was exceptionally clean and modern, and the hotel is in a lovely suburban area. Excellent breakfasts, though we often had to wait up to 15 minutes for a table.
Excellent location near Vatican and Metro stops. Quiet neighborhood. Some rooms will accommodate 3 people; all equipped with Bose sound systems! Standard European breakfast fare, but plenty of cappuchino and espresso!
As a person who stays over 130 nights a year in hotels, I can honestly say The Franklin was a wonderful surprise. The staff was wonderful, the restaurants in the neighborhood were fabulous and the garden courtyard was awesome. If you want to stay at a very nice property, that is small, quaint, has a neighborhood feel and has alot of charm...look no further.

Looking for a quiet hotel and we found one. Rooms are very nice, moderate sized, breakfast quite substantial. We arrived on a Wed but the elevator stopped working on Sat. Upon arriving back each night to the hotel and checking to see if it were working we were told - tomorrow. Until the following Wed, we walked four flights of stairs. ...
Everything about it was prefect. Everything was very modern and clean. The rooms were a decent size, flat screen TV, wall stereo with speakers in the bathroom, most def a treat to relax in after a long day of touring. The included breakfast had lots of good good food. They were accomadating to us as we were students. Highly recommended!
