An amazing Roman stay
Pros:

I stayed at Hotel Donna Francesca during my latest trip to Rome, and overall I had a very pleasant experience.

The room was quite small, but it was perfectly suitable for a short city break. The bed was very comfortable, and both the room and the bathroom were spotlessly clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my stay, and the complimentary amenities were a nice touch.

The location is one of the hotel’s biggest advantages. It is in a very safe, central area, just a few minutes’ walk from Repubblica metro station, with easy access to Rome’s main historical attractions, shopping streets, and restaurants. For the price, it offers excellent value for money.

I also loved the character of the building. Once you enter the main gate, you’re welcomed by a beautiful statue, and there’s another one at the entrance to the hotel itself. It has that classic Roman charm and immediately makes you feel like you’re staying somewhere with history and character.

I also liked their breakfast concept, as it is delivered directly to your room, which was a nice touch. However, I think the hotel could provide clearer guidance during check-in on how the breakfast ordering system works. I had to ask about it on both mornings, and even on my last day I still wasn’t completely sure how it was supposed to work.

On the day of check-out, they kindly allowed me to leave my luggage, which I really appreciated. There isn’t a dedicated luggage room, but they were happy to store my suitcase for a few hours.

My only real downside was that my room was very close to the entrance, so I was disturbed by noise, especially in the mornings, which made it difficult to sleep in.

Overall, despite these minor points, I had a lovely stay. It’s a clean, comfortable hotel with a fantastic location, friendly staff, and excellent value for money. I would definitely consider staying here again on a future trip to Rome.

Cons:

What I didn’t like:

My room was located very close to the entrance, so it could be quite noisy, especially in the mornings. I also found the breakfast ordering process a bit confusing, as it wasn’t clearly explained during check-in. A little more guidance on how it works would make the experience even better.

Great little hotel!
Pros:

The hotel itself was great. Clean, newly renovated comfortable. I'm a safe and secure part of town.

Cons:

The night we checked in we had not received the code to enter. It took 30 minutes to finally get into our rooms. Luckily someone left the main door open so we could at least get inside to wait. Breakfast needs to be earlier. 8am start is not a reasonable time to start serving breakfast when tourists have excursions or you are here on business. Out of our 6 day stay we weren't able to utilize 3 days of breakfast because it didn't start early enough.

Prima uitvalsbasis om Rome te bekijken
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Metro dichtbij. Alles eigenlijk ook op loopafstand. Ook dichtbij Termini, dus als je met de leonardo express komt vanaf het vliegveld ben je er zo.

Cons:

Ontbijt pas vanaf 8 uur. Kan wel iets eerder als je het aangeeft. Zeker niet geluidsdicht

Pros:

E' situato a pochi minuti a piedi dalla stazione, per cui è comodissimo.
E' situato in un bel palazzo d'epoca ed è pulito e silenzioso, sia di notte che di giorno.

Cons:

Nel prezzo era compresa la colazione che non abbiamo potuto consumare perché avevamo il treno alle 8.20, ma veniva servita solo dalle 8: abbiamo chiesto di poter anticipare alle 7.30 e non ci è stato concesso.
Secondo noi un albergo non può non prevedere che qualche ospite possa avere la necessità di fare la colazione un po' in anticipo rispetto all'orario stabilito (che è comunque troppo tardi)

Bonne localisation, propreté et gentillesse
Pros:

Il s'agit d'un hébergement qui occupe un étage d'un batìment.Ils ont environ 10 chambres dans le total. Pour cela, ils servent le petit-dejeuner dans la chambre. Tout était propre. Ils disposent du thé et du café á volonté, soit dans la chambre, soit dans le couloir. Des biscuits et des noix aussi.

Cons:

Nous avons séjourné pendant 6 jours et nous avons trouvé que le petit-dejeuner n'était pas diversifié et plutôt industriel. Tous les jours les mêmes produits. Le pain industriel raffiné, par exemple. Le même type de fromage... mon conseil: plus de produits fait maison ou artisanal, par exemple: pain, confiture, miel, autres types de fromage...

Surpreendentemente fabuloso!
Pros:

O quarto mesmo que não tão grande é mais do que suficiente para um casal. A limpeza do hotel, educação dos funcionários e o conforto da cama nos deixaram muito confortáveis, tranquilos e satisfeitos.

Pros:

Perfect location - possible to walk without public transport to every important place in city. Appartment was clean, equipped with everything important (also minibar, fridge, safe, coffee machine with capsules, iron). Very kind stuff. Breakfast was perfect, you can order till midnight on your preffered time regard your taste. Lift is inside the building.

Cons:

I didn't receive even 2 days before arrival any information about check-in, so I wrote message to hotel. Then I received in few hours e-mail with link to online check-in, but again no information how to entry our appartment.
Till 7 PM is receptionist there personally, she will give all the informations. If not, you should receive code of your room to email.
