Hotel San Francesco

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Franceso, located in the heart of Trastevere. Stepping out the front door, we found a plethora of amazing restaurants right at our doorstep. It served as a great base for exploring all the main tourist attractions. The hotel features a beautiful rooftop bar, and the bed was extremely comfortable, with the room being just the right size. We opted for the breakfast, which cost 10 euros, but I would recommend skipping it as it wasn’t very good. If you’re interested in flea markets, the Porta Portese Markets take place every Sunday just around the corner, it’s a huge flea market if that’s your thing!

Great value, clean, lovely staff, amazing location

Location. Quiet and peaceful area and close to restaurant, shops, and transportation links. Staff were polite and helpful. We didn’t try their breakfast but the food in the restaurant was amazing. View on the rooftop was very nice

This is a beautifully simple hotel. The rooms are spacious by city standards, comfortable beds, the sheets were soft and extra blankets were available with no hassle. They had good blackout shutters as well. The shower was large and had great water pressure. Towels were plentiful and generously sized, the toiletries were upscale. It was quiet, simply decorated and the rooms had wonderful natural light. The lobby bar /coffee bar and breakfast area were elegant , comfortable and the service was friendly and multilingual. We had morning cappuccinos and espressos only, but full breakfast is available as well. The restaurant has a great reputation but we did not eat there so cannot comment. The roof deck is gorgeous, make sure and have an aperitivo up there one evening, you must reserve! The roof has sweeping views of Aventino Hill, multiple basilica domes and the Altare de la Patria. I believe it is closed Mondays, but not sure. The staff at this place is very well trained and super helpful with getting taxis and information. We spent time chatting with the staff and were impressed by them! Shout out especially to the front desk people and the bartender/barista Farouk. Special mention to the talented mixologist James. Lovely folks :) The hotel is located in Trastevere right near Porta Portese and the bridge over to Testaccio, where you can find restaurants and strolling where there are no big tour groups. We will definitely book again.

Excellent location and very nice staff. Great breakfast with a view of a citrus garden. Nice lobby bar to chill out for a drink and great roof terrace with views of Aventino and Trastevere.
