With a prime location between Campo de' Fiori and Piazza Navona, Hotel Damaso is a chic and simple mid-range boutique hotel with a lot to like. Opened in 2017, the 39 rooms have a fun, bespoke style that uses patterns and color to make them feel more spacious and bright. All include individually controlled air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and Smart TVs, while Deluxe Rooms add terraces. A continental breakfast buffet is included in rates, and is served in the cheerful bar on the ground floor (where you'll also find a small library lounge). The Hotel Damaso rooftop bar is the star of the show, though, with astounding Rome views and great wine. The Damaso is a nice bargain for the location and quality, but if you want to be closer to the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain, check out Albergo del Senato (though it's less stylish).

What's the Scene Like at Hotel Damaso?
The Hotel Damaso is calm and cute, though its rooftop bar comes to life at night
The Hotel Damaso is one of the nicest boutique hotels in this part of town. From a style perspective, your money is going farther here than at many of its competitors. In fact, most mid-range hotels in Rome in the Hotel Damaso's price range are old, dated, and tired. Thankfully, that's not the case here. Expect bright interiors, funky patterned wallpaper, herringbone hardwood floors, and a youthful vibe throughout the property. There aren't too many features, but the star of the show is Hotel Damaso's rooftop bar, which is popular as the sun goes down over Rome. It's a great spot for a glass of wine, drawing tourists from across the city and even a few locals during aperitivo hour. Expect to see mostly couples and small groups of friends here, with rooms that hold a maximum of three adults.
