Reviews of Hotel Villafranca
Raquel Jesus
Honestly the hotel itself needs repairs. Paint it's patchy, rooms small and quite old looking. The wardrobe doesn't have any storage besides some hangers. The walls are paper thin as I could hear the girls 2 door down singing or other people showering. The bathroom is bad displayed as it doesn't have any storage for essentials and the towel placement is way too high. We needed to ask for replaceme...

Not quite sure why this is rated 3.9 stars. The showers are cold. The rooms are small. The bed is rock hard. We booked two rooms and only one has a bidet but they cost the same. The room without the bidet didn’t have any amenities such as slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste etcetera yet the other room does. The service people are clearly very tired of all the complaints which is understandable but ...

As I was looking online for a budget friendly hotel for a couple of days I had 5 or 6 choices. I definatly made the right one! Hotel VillaFranca is outstanding.

This morning I really hurt my back so I called the front desk.The attendant will have someone handle my ba...

Located close to the treinstation this is not a bad hotel. I would just expect a bit more from a 4 star hotel to be honest. We first booked a economy room and this wasn't worth our money!! The bed was horribly hard and we could feel the springs, the airco way too cold and the room was very small. After one night i even checked for an upgrade because staying in this room was not an option for us (w...

Very close to Termini station. Many things in a walkable distance from the hotel (30 minutes to Trevi fountain, the zoo, many attractions) and can get the metro/bus if going further! Breakfast was good if somewhat limited. Hotel room left some to be desired - beds rock hard, no drink making facilities (though there was a fridge to chill bottles/cans) tiny TV with no smart features. Very clean howe...
