Hotel Bramante's location, staff and rooms are wonderful. It is tucked away on a quiet street a short walking distance from the Vatican and the rest of ancient Rome. The staff are gracious, friendy, and professional. The rooms and ensuites are very nicely furnished with A/C, critical for the summer. The hotel is immaculately clean and seems recently refurbished. The breakfast is a combination of Continental and Italian with cordial staff. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here as it is excellent value for money.

We loved this small hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room little but very nice. The bathroom was really little, but adequate. But, the location is ideal. You are steps away from the Vatican, and short walks to Old Rome, and historic squares, piazzas, etc. The breakfast was simply wonderful, and there are lots of good eateries to walk to.

Our first trip to Rome and we stayed at a perfect Hotel. Very short walk to St. Peters Square. Quaint, well maintained family
business just through the stone wall near the Vatican. Room was surprisingly big and clean. Timber ceilings and shiny tile floors. Ladies doing the breakfast were happy and made the experience very enjoyable. Great food; various fruits, meats, breads, cereals, cheeses, juices etc. and good coffee. Front desk staff, especially Antonio, were very helpful with transpo, tour inforamtion and restaurant suggestions. We ate at two good places close by that were recommended by the hotel.
If we ever get to Rome again we would stay at Hotel Bramante.

A nice, small hotel with a welcoming staff and friendly owners. the hotel has been in the family since 1873 I was told. The breakfast is very good. My room had a window that looked on a little courtyard. The room was not huge, but large enough, very clean, and a little dark. The only drawback to my room was that the walls were thin and I could hear conversations next door and above. Also there was no bracket for the hand-held shower in the bath and so it could not be fixed to the wall for a real shower. Every room is different though, and as I left I was told that my room was the only one with that peculiar arrangement for the shower. Of course there is no elevator in such an old, small (charming) building, so people who need elevators should beware. It's an easy walk to St. Peter's and the Vatican. Borgo Pio street is around the corner, with restaurants and shops, but very closed up at night. Public transportation is limited in the area, though there is a #40 bus that stops about 6 blocks away.
