OASI SAN FRANCESCO, Rome

Located on Via dei Brusati, the hotel sits in a calm neighbourhood about 45-60 minutes by bus from central Rome. The bus stop is a 5-minute walk away, with frequent services to St. Peter's, the Vatican Museums, and the city centre. Free on-site parking and no ZTL restrictions make it convenient for drivers. The area is peaceful, with no major nightlife or shopping within immediate walking distance, but several restaurants and cafés are 1-2 km away by bus or car. The metro station Battistini is 4 km from the property, while the Aurelia and Pisana roads provide quick car access to the ring road and Trastevere.

The hotel provides single, double, twin, triple, family, and quadruple rooms, all with private bathrooms (shower, bidet, hairdryer). Standard amenities include air conditioning, heating, minibar, flat-screen TV, work desk, and wardrobe. Soundproofed rooms are available for a quieter stay. Some rooms have city views. However, room sizes vary and can feel small, especially triple and family configurations with bunk beds. Decor is basic, with some furnishings described as old or worn. Windows may not block exterior noise; rooms facing common corridors or with poor insulation can be noisy. A few rooms have reported issues with bathroom odours, limited power outlets, dated showers, or lack of bidet. Air conditioning generally works well, though some units struggle in peak heat. Housekeeping is provided daily, but thoroughness varies.

The hotel has a bar, coffee house, and snack bar open 24 hours, serving espresso, Italian pastries, cakes, snacks, and drinks at reasonable prices. Breakfast is an extra-cost* option (basic continental style with pastries, cereals, and hot drinks) and can be served in the room. The bar also offers wine, champagne, kids' meals, and fruits for an additional fee. For other meals, there are several restaurants within 1-2 km, including sushi and Italian options. The on-site bar and coffee shop are practical for light meals and relaxing.

Guests can relax in the garden or on the sun terrace. The picnic area provides outdoor seating. The property also offers free live sports events (broadcasts), free temporary art galleries, and paid cooking classes and themed dinner nights. The area is quiet, suitable for a calm stay, but there is no pool, spa, or gym on site. The hotel also has a chapel/shrine on the premises.
