The eight room types at Hotel Damaso all share air conditioning, soundproofing, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a minibar and a private bathroom with tub, courtesy set and bathrobes, a consistent level of amenities throughout the property.
The differences mainly concern space and view: they range from the 18 sqm of the Double Room for Single Use and the Double/Twin Room, up to the 24 sqm of the Attic Room and the Junior Suite, the latter with parquet floors and a separate sitting area. The Deluxe Room and the Attic Room stand out for their private terrace, while the Superior Room with Disabled Access offers solutions designed for limited mobility. The Standard Triple Room, the only one designed for three people, offers single beds or a sofa bed paired with a double bed. Bed configurations are often flexible, with the option between a double bed and separate single beds.

Located on the top floor, the Attic Room shares the 24 sqm of the Junior Suite but is distinguished by its private terrace overlooking the rooftops of the historic centre, an exclusive feature of this room.
The only room designed for three guests, the Standard Triple Room combines a double bed with a sofa bed, or two single beds with a sofa bed, offering the greatest configuration flexibility among all room types.
With a maximum capacity of one guest, this is the most suitable option for solo travellers. Despite its compact 18 sqm size, it includes a tea and coffee making set not found in all the other rooms.
