The location, rated by guests with a score of 9.8, makes it a convenient base for visiting the Vatican and the historic centre without giving up the quiet of a side street.

The rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and toiletries.

Hotel Bramante offers three room types designed for different needs, from the solo traveller to the family visiting the Vatican. All options are air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom with toiletries, as well as a flat-screen TV, safe and electric kettle, elements that ensure a practical stay even for shorter visits.
The Double Room/Twin Room, measuring 18 m², is the largest and most flexible thanks to the choice between an extra-large double bed or two single beds. The Standard Single Room is designed for those travelling alone, while the Classic Triple Room, with two single beds, suits small groups or families with one extra guest. The main difference between the room types therefore concerns capacity and bed configuration, while the basic services remain consistent throughout the property.
The largest room in the property, at 18 m², with the option to choose between an extra-large double bed or two single beds, ideal for couples or friends travelling together. The private bathroom with free toiletries includes a shower, bidet and hairdryer, while air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, wardrobe, safe and electric kettle complete the amenities.
Designed for solo travellers, this is the only room type with a single bed and a maximum occupancy of one person, the most compact and affordable option in the hotel for those who don’t need extra space.
With two single beds and a maximum capacity of three people, this is the most suitable option for small groups or families with a child, offering more sleeping space than the Double Room without giving up the property’s essential amenities.
