Casa Di Santa Francesca Romana a Ponte Rotto

Excellent location with great street nightlife on the doorstep. Loads of great coffee places and eating places very close by. Rooms quite basic but very clean. No food or drinks allowed in rooms at all. No kettle or fridge ( must be awful in the summer temperatures) Drinks and confectionery available from a vending machine downstairs. Not always working. Breakfast I saw reviewed as fabulous but wasn’t quite that. We were unlucky to have a group of German students on our floor which were very noisy late at night. Doors slamming, running in the corridor, shouting room to room, playing music and videos on their phones outside their rooms, sharing smuggled in pizzas. Might l suggest when hotels accept student bookings they allocate their leaders rooms on the same floor and not on the floor above. That way they can control their ‘charges’ and not let other visitors be disturbed late at night. The highlight of this hotel is the location but everywhere both sides of the river are easily walkable. Rome is a great city and I will return soon but I’d opt for a different hotel!
