Fodor's Expert Review Casa di Santa Francesca Romana a Ponte Rotto

Via dei Vascellari 61, Rome, Latium, 00153, Italy

In the heart of Trastevere but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the medieval quarter, this comfortable, affordable hotel in a former monastery is centered on a lovely green courtyard. The monastery was built in the 15th century to honor St. Francesca Romana, and guest rooms are accordingly simple, with cheerful pastel-yellow-and-cream-color walls and simple tiled floors. For the money and location, this is a fabulous choice.

PROS

  • rates can't be beat
  • triple rooms for small groups
  • away from rowdy tourist side of Trastevere

CONS

  • a bit far from Metro, but there are tram and bus stops nearby
  • few amenities besides TV room and reading room
  • spotty Wi-Fi
