Overview
About Franklin Feel the Sound
The music hotel in Rome!
Free bikes to explore the enchanting Prati quarter & historic centre in a fast and fun way
From the first step into the reception area, you KNOW this
place is different: The check –in desk is a big drum--- and a
real one at that! the next think that strikes you are the
thousands of CD’s waiting for you to select and take up to your
room, from Jazz to Reggae, classical to pop.
Your keychain is a little electric guitar, that you place into
the slot to turn on the lights… and did I mention lights? The
bathroom has a mirror disco ball that rotates that Tony Manero would
have appreciated. There is also the option of ordinary lights for
those of us that need to apply makeup.
The bangin’ stereo system is B&O of course, as well as the
high tech telephone. You even have a speaker in the bathroom so you
can sing in the shower accompanied by your favourite tunes. The
toiletries are different too: the eco-friendly LUSH brand, an
interesting selection of decidedly different creams and soaps.
Another kooky touch is the emergency pull tab in the shower that
has a couple of lollipops hanging from it. Your nightstands are
snare drums that really work… try playing along to your tunes.
Some of the rooms have their own terrace facing the garden,
ooooh so peaceful!
If you have good weather, run, do not walk -- to the garden to have a
relaxing breakfast surrounded by plants and flowers. The inside
breakfast room is a bit small but you can find everything from
ham and cheese, to muesli and yogurts ( the good ones… from Alto
Adige) and the staff will even cook you an egg to your specs. You
can make your own freshly squeezed juices with the electric juicer;
for health nuts there is even a centrifuge for a DIY veggie drink.
The staff are young and friendly , something often lacking in big
tourist cities like Rome. They are always there to go the extra
mile and seem to really love their jobs.
The location is fine, on a leafy little street not far from the
Vatican, just a 10 min walk from the metro station. Not
surprisingly, the clientele are young too, and many musicians
crash here where they can get their groove.
Why the music theme, I asked? The owner, who comes from a family
of hoteliers, is a musician… and as I guessed, a drummer.
Franklin, keep marching to a different drummer…. way cool!
