“Casa di Santa Francesca Romana is a charming accommodation in Rome’s Trastevere district, offering a mix of history, comfort, and convenience. Set in a historic convent building, we were provided with a superior room that was neat, clean, and spacey. However, they are quite standard. We also had free wifi but unfortunately, no tea or coffee station as in most other hotels. With the hotel being positioned in the midst of many restaurants and in a bustling neighborhood, the rooms can be a little noisy, but that added to the charm of Rome and our overall very exciting Italian tour. The big plus was that we got to enjoy a lovely breakfast every morning. The options are incredibly pleasant with both sweet and savoury treats and some good Italian coffee. The friendly, professional and very courteous treatment by the staff, at reception, the breakfast hall and the cleaners, was second to none. We came to truly appreciate this as the smiles and polite attitude brightened our days. The hotel has a cathedral on the first floor and a courtyard with orange trees in which we could take a lithke walk or relax in, when the weather is pleasant. Overall, we appreciated its great location, cleanliness, and friendly service, and will definitely consider staying here again, when in Rome.”
“It is a very nice hotel with a great location and very helpful and friendly staff. I would definately like to visit it again and highly recommend it if you like simple but beautiful historic buildings”
“Great staff friendly and helpful, generous breakfast, good sized rooms with effective air con, peaceful centre courtyard with orange trees, separate lounge. Historic building in a great location, close to the Vatican and the Tiber river surrounded by great Roman restaurants. What's there not to like. Enjoy !!”
“We (2 adults) stayed here for 5 nights. The ammenities were basic but by all means more than sufficeient. The breakfast was very well prepared and presented. The staff was very helpful in getting us set up and making any arrangements we needed. Location, location, location. Trastervere is not in central Rome, but a short walk across the river to the Collosuem and Forum. It's on a narrow coblestone street with plenty of dining experiences that are unique. Public transportation is very close and will get you anywhere. Walking to the attractions is easy. On the same trip we stayed accross the street from the Colloseum, but if I were to do it again, I would have just stayed here the entire time.”
