Hotel San Francesco Rome

Very nice small hotel in a quiet area but within walking distance of major sites, and good choice of places to eat. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, very good buffet breakfast, rooms a little small but well appointed.

Myself and partner stayed in Hotel San Francesco for 4 nights for our first trip to Rome. The hotel was opposite a building being refurbished with scaffolding outside so initally we were dissapointment however, there was no noise/issues with this building in the morning with the workmen. It did spoil the view somewhat but having seen Rome now we are aware a view is not something your going to get centrally. The staff were very helfpul and efficent speaking good english in comparison to our Italian. We were given a map and were advised on locations to the tram and bus services and restaurants along the main streets nearby. On the first night the fridge in our room and the airconditioning unit broke, leaking in the room. The staff looked into this whilst we were out on our first day and could not fix either problem. We were given cold drinks/ice and free drinks from the beautiful roof top bar...now that had some views!! :-) As they could not fix these and were fully booked the same night we were advised we could move rooms the next day. This was the best they could do, and despite the upset of having to listen to the air con dripping ALL Night we were satisfied the staff had done the best they could! The breakfast had a good selction of drinks and foods, no hot food, but all the same very nice to set you up for a full day in Rome! Staff were excellent and accomodating and even gave us coffee and croissants at 6.30am one morning when we had to leave for a day trip to vesuvuis and pompeii. Overall, a great hotel with great staff who could do only the best for their customers!
