Hotel Diplomatic is a 3-star hotel in the Prati district of Rome, just steps from Castel Sant’Angelo and on the opposite bank of the Tiber from the historic center. The property has a terrace and is located in an area well served by public transport, with the Lepanto and Flaminio metro stations less than a kilometer away.
The rooms, all air-conditioned, range from the 13 m² Double for Single Use up to the 30 m² Junior Suite with a sitting area and, in one case, a large private terrace. Several superior room types offer more space with a sofa, table and chairs, while the triple and quadruple rooms are designed for families or small groups. All rooms are equipped with satellite TV, minibar and free WiFi.
The hotel suits those visiting Rome who don’t want to give up the convenience of walking to Piazza di Spagna, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums. The location score, 9.6, is among the most appreciated by guests, especially couples.
The rooms at Hotel Diplomatic cover a wide range of needs, from the most compact 13 m² single solution up to the 30 m² Junior Suite with a separate sitting area. All room types are air-conditioned and equipped with satellite TV, minibar and free WiFi, guaranteeing the same basic level of comfort regardless of the size chosen.
What makes the difference are the distinctive details of each room: the superior versions add a sofa, table and chairs for those seeking more space, the Triple Room and the Quadruple Room offer flexible bed configurations between sofa bed, single beds and large double beds, while the Junior Suite stands out for its sitting area and, in one of the two available units, for a large private terrace overlooking the city.
The most compact of Hotel Diplomatic’s rooms, designed for solo travelers. At 13 m² it is the smallest solution in the property, with a bed configurable as single or double, air conditioning and satellite TV.
Standard double room of 15 m², with a large double bed. This is the base room type for two people, without the extra space of the superior versions, but with all the property’s essential comforts.
Designed for small groups or families, this 25 m² room offers two alternative configurations: sofa bed plus large double bed, or three separate single beds. Larger than the standard double.
Superior version of the double room, with 20 m² and an extra space with sofa, table and chairs that sets it apart from the base double room. Ideal for those seeking more room to move without opting for a suite.
At 30 m² this is the superior version of the Triple Room, with a sofa, table and chairs added compared to the standard configuration. Suitable for three travelers who want a common space in addition to the sleeping area.

Hotel Diplomatic is located in the Prati district, an elegant residential area on the bank of the Tiber opposite Rome’s historic center, just steps from Castel Sant’Angelo. It’s an area well served by neighborhood bars and restaurants such as T-Bone Station and Colonna Cafè, both just a few meters from the entrance, making it easy to find a place to eat without going far.
The location is among the most appreciated in the area: the Lepanto metro station is about 850 meters away, Flaminio metro station 950 meters, while the Flaminio train station is 900 meters away.
