This hotel more than met my expectations (which were high anyway given the mostly positive reviews on this site). The location, on the quiet side of Trastevere, is great, being away from (but within walking distance) of the main touristy bits, surrounded by quaint narrow streets and with lots of buzzy restaurants and bars. The hotel staff are very friendly... more

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at San Francesco. The rooms were spacious (for Europe) and clean. The breakfast has a wonderful selection of items - sure to find something that you like. Lovely view from the rooftop terrace. Only downside was the unenthusiastic staff - they were polite but not particularly helpful. I would definitely stay here... more

We stayed here at the end of trip and were ready for some relaxation. And since our room overlooked the serene convent next door, we definitely got it. The hotel was an easy walk to the tram and a moderate walk to the restaurant and bar hot spots of the neighborhood. Our room was kind of small but it was... more

Great Rooms, Great staff, Great location. Nothing much to say, if you travel to Rome you must stay at San Francesco Hotel. more

But best of all the staff was the most helpful and thoughtful I've ever encountered in Rome. There was a problem with the air conditioning vent in our room the first night, and the next morning they... more

The Hotel San Francesco in the Trastevere neighborhoods of old Rome is the absolute perfect location from which to explore this remarkably walkable city. The hotel is a hidden jem of hospitality with a jewel of a staff who helped us from our first contact until we left. They promptly answered my many emails and helped make sure our first... more

I say good base for a few nights because if you're in Rome for just a short time, chances are that, like us, you'll be out and about for most of the day, eating out in the evening and using the hotel as a comfortable start and finish to your day. You'll also want to be in a good location... more

A lovely small hotel in Trastevere within walking distance of all of Rome's attractions with fabulous service, delicious breakfasts, and a pretty rooftop garden to catch the evening's breezes. more

We stayed at Hostel San Francesco and I was really impressed with the hotel. Cheap, modern (more like a boutique hotel), very quiet, in the center of Trastevere, but very easy to move around. You can take the tram to the center of Rome or take the bus in the direction of 'piramide'. The roof terrace is great, as well!... more
