Casa di Santa Francesca Romana a Ponte Rotto

Would NOT recommend. Dishonest people run this place. Avoid.. There are plenty other places in Rome. Watch out for their scam reservation system. Be very very careful if you end up reserving a room here. I would not trust them any further than I could throw them . Very bad experience here and tainted our trip to Rome.

raine Worst experience of staying in Rome at this hotel. We had done the booking for our stay for 2 adults and a kid of 8yo through ***********. it accepted our booking and when we reached the hotel in midnight the staff refused to allot the room for 3 persons. She said- we cannot allow. We requested for q room change or put a mattress or extra bed in the room so that atleast we pass the night but the lady didn't buzz at all. She told either you stay with your child and your husband finds another hotel at 12 in night..or else you fetch another hotel, your husband stays with the child, or you both stay here and the child stays somewhere else alone...I am like.. seriously!! Well we then reached out to *********** and asked them to clarify as the description of the room clearly mentioned that 2+1 can accomodate. It seemed like there was clear disagreement between the hotel and the *********** and we paid the price! Till 3 am we checked with 70-80 hotels for accommodation but nothing worked out. Also let me tell you that this property is no less in terms of charging money for the room. The rates were on higher side only. At last I had to raise my voice and talk to the lady staff that can you be human first! She said - I am allowing your husband to stay in the lobby area for tonight. That's all I can do. On top of this, somehow they managed to get us a new room with bigger bed for the last day of our stay. For which we paid extra money. Here, my issue is if you as a hotel offer your service to people, you better train your staff to be courteous and not rude. If you own a hotel you owe your responsibility to the travellers who pay for your hotel. If you think your room can accomodate a limited number of people then mention it clearly. Don't give false picture and don't sell false commitments. Remember, it's because of the people booking your hotel, you exist and not because you own a building. If *********** is at fault, then you should have been humane enough to sort it with *********** and not let us go through this worst experience. I have already filed a complaint against the property with ***********. If I had an option to rate below 0 I would have done that.

Fantastic! Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable rooms, lovely breakfast, good choice, and very fresh. Great location, beautiful historical building, with its own chapel, stunning! Beautiful courtyard, I could not recommend more and will definitely be booking again.

If you're visiting Rome and intending to spend most of your time exploring the city, Casa di Santa Francesca Romana may be a good option. Rooms are modest and unadorned, though clean, and the property's amenities are rather basic. The front desk staff is kind and friendly, offering 24-hour service. Though the main entrance door is locked at midnight, a quick doorbell ring is all that is needed before it is promptly unlocked by the overnight front desk agent. The property's background as a convent is evident in the art (painting and sculptures) throughout, with a few chapels off the corridors. The best and most notable feature of the property is the complimentary breakfast, which features a variety of pastries (brioche and croissants, cakes, tiramisù, crostate, bombolini, biscotti), granola, yogurt, fresh fruit, a selection of cheeses and meats, hard-boiled eggs, and toasts. The breakfast attendant was friendly and attentive, and espresso drinks are also available.

Front desk ladies were extremely helpful with our email and Covid documentation requirements (to fly back home to Canada). Dining room staff were also very pleasant and food was good. We loved the roof top restaurant. While we are a little older, we were able to to visit major attractions, many within walking distance. We also used the "Hop on Hop off" bus (and as an extra: were blessed by the Pope !). Rooms were comfortable enough and service excellent. Fully recommend this hotel.

Ho soggiornato in questo hotel il 28 settembre 2024 in occasione del concerto di David Gilmour. Una piacevole scoperta. Location molto carina, colazione ricca, con prodotti sia dolci che salati, personale molto cordiale e posizione strategica. Un posto ideale per scoprire le meraviglie di Roma.
