L’emplacement

Pas d’isolation phonique avec la salle de bain de la chambre voisine .

A cute, clean hotel with friendly staff away from the tourist chaos whilst still being connected
Pros:

Sure the room was small, but it was everything we needed from our Rome basecamp. Beautiful windows with a view of Rome was great way to start the day. The bathroom was spacious and mostly clean. The staff went out of their way to accommodate every request of ours, they were so friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were a great start to the day and delicious.

Cons:

I personally love a firm bed, but my wife found it too hard and had to put extra bedding under the bottom sheet in order to get comfortable. And I'm sorry to say it, but those pillows have to go - they were far too hard, it was like sleeping on straw.

Bra läge i Transtevere. Trevlig frukostbricka. Sköna sängar och bra städning.
Pros:

Mycket trevligt koncept med frukostbricka med tre varianter:
Continental var mycket trevlig och god. Hade den haft en ostskiva så hade det blivit full pott.
Pannkaksfrukost - Också mycket trevlig och god.
American - Åt vi aldrig men den såg bra ut.

Cons:

Safe deposit fungerade inte och vi påtalade detta och då skulle de laga det till dagen efter men det lagades aldrig och vi fick ingen återkoppling.

Disappointing room conditions, poor handling of our concerns and no resolution offered.
Pros:

Unfortunately, we did not have a positive experience at this property. While the location was convenient, the condition of our room made us uncomfortable staying there.

Cons:

We were extremely disappointed with our experience at Hotel San Francesco. Upon checking into our room, we immediately noticed insects on the floor, dirty and marked walls and a visibly dirty door handle. The overall cleanliness and condition of the room were not consistent with what was advertised on Booking.com.

We raised our concerns with the hotel staff, but we were never offered an alternative room or a meaningful solution. We felt uncomfortable staying at the property and checked out the same day, despite having paid for two nights. We then had to book and pay for another hotel at our own expense.

What has been particularly frustrating is the hotel’s subsequent claim to Booking.com that we were offered another room, which is simply not true. We have photographic and video evidence of the room’s condition.

We expected a clean, comfortable and properly maintained room. Unfortunately, that was not our experience, and I would not recommend this property based on how our concerns were handled.

Cumple lo que ofrece
Pros:

No habian muchas cosas que destacar era buen alojamiento, tenian un libro para dejar mensajes y reseñas, lo encontre interesante, habia un supermercado cerca tambien y estaba ubicado bastante cerca de estaciones de bus y tren para movilizarse

Cons:

Siento que faltaba iluminación en la habitación y que pidiesen dejar las tarjetas de las habitaciones en recepción antes de salir me parecio extraño pero fuera de eso lo demás estuvo todo bien.
