Hotel description
Franklin Feel the Sound is a modern and stylish hotel, very close to the Vatican Museums, a peculiar place that will be a treat to real music lovers. As the name suggests, the hotel is entirely music-themed and features rooms dedicated to different genres, such as Pop, Rock and Blues, each equipped with state-of-the-art CD players. More than 400 CDs are available for guests at the reception. Founded by a musician, the property often hosts performers, who no doubt enjoy the liberty of playing all night long in their fully soundproofed rooms.
The hotel has 22 soundproof rooms and suites. The rooms pay tribute to all major music styles and are equipped with the latest in comfort and technology, with Bang & Olufsen CD players and a range of free features, such as wireless Internet, daily newspaper and minibar. Bathrooms are nicely equipped with exclusive aromatherapy and cosmetic products, and some come with Jacuzzis. The icing on the cake is the suite, whose guests can enjoy a free dinner in the "Tomatoes Club" restaurant.
Location
Franklin Feel the Sound is a unique musical experience, ideally located in the centre of the Italian capital. This location is unbeatable for exploring the treasures of the city and the Vatican.

"Bonito hotel, bien ubicado y con excelente trato del personal"
Victoria D. - Spain - 23-Jun-09 -
"Nous sommes restés 4 nuits. Hôtel à 10 minutes à pied du metro dans un quartier calme mais avec plein de restaurants à proximité. Accueil très serviable mais un peu dépassés si trop de monde au petit déjeuner. Petit hotel sympathique, contemporain mais pas exceptionnel."
Judith F. - France - 16-Jun-09 -
"L'hôtel n'est idéalement localisé mais avec le métro (à env. 10 min), on est très rapidement en n'importe quel point de Rome pour commencer ses excursions.. Par ailleurs, on est suffisamment proche du Vatican pour s'y rendre à pieds."
COQUEL J. - France - 19-May-09 -
"Very friendly and helpful staff. Interesting concept which worked really well."
Stephen K. - Ireland - 17-May-09 -

"Long time I do not leave a hotel so satisfied with the service/facilities.Excellent value for price."
Bianchi Vicos L. - United Kingdom - 24-Feb-09 -
"Carino, ma solo per giovani. troppo piccolo per chi ha necessità di aprire un pc e lavorarci, zone comuni inesistenti!!!!! un tavolino e due sedie nella hall di 5 x 5 metri... Solo per giovani, non per professionisti!!!!"
Roberto P. - Italy - 07-Feb-09 -
"I do travel worldwide for business. Never saw such kind of atmosphere, kind welcome and details. To be known and lived!!!"
Bertrand S. - France - 30-Jan-09 -

Nathalie B. - France - 05-Jan-09 -
"Hotel molto carino, informale ma ottimo servizio, personale gentile. ottimo per una coppia e per chi ama la musica!"
Cinelli N. - Italy - 28-Dec-08 -
"Superbe hôtel avec petites terrasses individuelles. A deux pas du Vatican. Accueil chaleureux. A recommander à tous les fans de musique et de Jazz qui veulent avoir leur propre musique dans la chambre ! Petit plus : la musique est même diffusée dans la salle de bain avec une lumière d’ambiance bleue => valable pour la chambre « Blues ». Seul petit bémol (car il faut bien en trouver un) : la décoration est peut-être un peu trop minimaliste à mon goût. Mais comme on dit les goûts et les couleurs..."
Frederic R. - Belgium - 01-Dec-08 -

"Wonderful experience"
Stephen C. - United Kingdom - 08-Apr-08 -
"The general feel of staying in a music themed hotel was excellent. The room was a decent size and we had a very comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was handy in getting to the Vatican, but some distance away from the other main plazas. However, getting around by metro, bus, cab was fine so not really an issue."
Anila U. - Italy - 02-Apr-08
