The rooms are designed for those seeking functionality and comfort in a central setting: all are air-conditioned and equipped with a desk, coffee machine, refrigerator, safe, electric kettle and private bathroom with bidet. Many room types offer city views, and the two upper suites add a separate sitting area for guests who want more space. Sheets and towels are always included.
The surrounding area has numerous restaurants and cafés just steps from the entrance, as well as landmarks such as Ara Pacis, Piazza Navona and Piazza del Popolo, all within walking distance. Lepanto metro station and Flaminio railway station are both less than a kilometre away, making it easy to get around the rest of the city and reach Ciampino Airport.
Design 18 Charming Rooms offers seven room types, all air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV with streaming services, soundproofed walls and a tea and coffee-making set. Sizes range from 16 sqm in the Economy Double Room to 35 sqm in the Executive Suite, offering solutions suited to couples as well as small groups or families.
The range includes two Superior Double Rooms with city views, an Economy version with a private bathroom located outside the room, a Deluxe Triple Room designed for three people, and two suites – Executive and Junior Suite – which add a separate living area with a sofa bed, ideal for those who want more privacy and space during their stay.
This 20 sqm double room combines the large double bed with an extra futon, useful for a third guest. The private bathroom has a shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, while the soundproofed walls ensure peace and quiet despite the central location.
The most compact room in the property at 16 sqm, this economy room overlooks the inner courtyard rather than the city, ensuring greater quiet. The private bathroom, although located outside the room, is reserved exclusively for guests staying in this room.
At 24 sqm and with room for three people, this deluxe room is the ideal choice for small groups or families who don’t want to miss out on city views. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet and a complete set of toiletries.
The largest suite in the property, with 35 sqm split between a separate bedroom and a living area with a sofa bed. The bathroom with shower is for the exclusive use of the sleeping area, and the city view can be enjoyed from both spaces.
A more compact version of the Executive Suite, with 30 sqm but the same two-area layout: a separate bedroom and a living area with a sofa bed. The bathroom with shower is reserved for the sleeping area, while the city view can be enjoyed from both spaces.
A second version of the Superior room, with 20 sqm and only the large double bed without an extra futon, designed for couples’ stays. City view, air conditioning and a complete private bathroom with shower and bidet.
Design 18 Charming Rooms provides guests with free WiFi throughout the property and a common lounge with a TV area, useful for socialising or relaxing between sightseeing trips.

Every room is equipped with air conditioning, a safe, an iron on request and bed linen provided, while the private bathrooms offer a hairdryer, complimentary products and a complete set of toiletries.

Design 18 Charming Rooms is located in the Prati district, an elegant, residential area north of the Vatican, known for its orderly streets and proximity to both the historic centre and the banks of the Tiber. Around the property there are restaurants such as Locanda and Jia Ri, both just metres from the entrance, as well as cafés such as Liberatore Liberata Felicia, 100 metres away.
Getting around is easy thanks to Lepanto metro station, 750 metres away, and Flaminio railway station, 850 metres away: two connections that make it quick to reach both the centre and the outskirts of Rome. Castel Sant’Angelo is 550 metres away, Ara Pacis just 50 metres away, while Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna are about 700-850 metres away on foot. Ciampino Airport is 14 km away, and Fiumicino Airport is about 18 km away.

The Vatican Museums are 1.5 km away and are a must-see, as is the Pincio, the panoramic park overlooking Piazza del Popolo, ideal for an evening break away from the traffic.
