The hotel is In the Trastavere area, one block from the main Trastavere thoroughfare (with trams) and two blocks from the river. The Hotel is a small (24 rooms) 3 star establishment. The rooms are small but clean, functional and comfortable. The reception staff are friendly, courteous and obliging and all had excellent English. Even manning the small bar in... More

This hotel is an excellent location. Trastevere is a very nice area in Rome, with lots and lots of excellent and with Rome standards fairly cheap restaurants. We had dinner each evening in a new restaurant in the area and enjoyed all meals. And many of those meals were much cheaper than the lunches we had in some other areas... More

I'm a frequent visitor to Rome, and had never stayed in the Travastere area before - a combination of new Pope, 6 Nations rugby Italy v Ireland plus the Rome marathon all on the same weekend meant there was a huge demand for rooms. Hence my first visit to San Francesco. It's a 3 star hotel with aspirations to be... More

It was a good value hotel in a good position. Public transport in Rome is really good and cheap and Trastevere is therefore handy for everything. The service was pleasant and helpful. The receptionist even found a bar for us showing the football and told us which tram to take to get there.

We chose Hotel San Francesco after reading positive reviews on here and were not disappointed – this is a great hotel in a lively area with cobbled streets and lots of fab bars and restaurants within a few minutes’ walking distance. We had room 402 on the top floor, which was small but very clean and comfortable and had fantastic... More

Located in a great neighborhood (Trastevere) and with easy access to public transportation (tram and several bus lines stop around the corner) I stayed one night in this hotel and loved everything about it. Helpful and friendly staff available 24/7, rooms rather small but still with plenty of space to move around. The bathroom was so bright and cheerful! It... More

All together, we stayed 4 nights at Hotel San Francesco. One night before our cruise and 3 nights after the cruise. Be sure to ask for the back room which is quiet. The church bells didn't bother me since I liked it. The breakfast food was very good, especially liked the blood orange juice. There were cold cereals, pastries, boiled... More

On the recommendation of friends, we pre-booked for three nights for our first ever visit to Rome. We were not disappointed as the location was perfect with most of the big sites within reasonable walkng distance. We hardly ever used public transport as it was even hotter than walking on the shady side of the street! The room was fine... More

My husband and I stayed here for four nights on our honeymoon. The staff was very friendly and helpful from the get-go - they arranged a car for us from the airport (which didn't cost much more than a taxi, btw) and throughout our stay were quick to provide recommendations, directions, etc. Our room faced the street and it was...
