In spite of the traffic problems, poor street design, and humidity, this hotel was TERRIFIC. The staff was very friendly and gave us great advice. The rooms were small, yet clean and air conditioned. If you don't travel outside the USA please be advised that hotels in Rome are small (like B&Bs) and sometimes hard to find. The daily breakfast... more

Hotel and Room: The bi-lingual hotel staff was very helpful and gracious, answered all our questions, called taxis for us when needed, and were very efficient and responsive. The room was larger than we had ever hoped for in Rome -- particularly the bathroom, which was almost as big as the bedroom (although, ironically, the shower was so small you... more

We stayed at this hotel from Oct 3-5 and then again on the the 10th. The location is perfect as it was only a 10 minute walk from the Roma Termini to the hotel. Be advised that there are cobblestone sidewalks along the way and the main road is a moderate hill, so if you are older or have a... more

This is a clean, quiet ideally located hotel in a working class neighborhood of Rome.The breakfast included in your room rate is a big plus.

If you are over 6 foot you probably won't fit. Personnel at the desk were very friendly and helpful with all our questions, directions,... more

I stayed at the Raffaello in September this year. The hotel is very well situated, close to all of the major sights on a quiet, easy to find side street. The hotel is quaint, the staff including the cleaning/maintenance people were all very friendly and always helpful and our room was extremely well maintained and clean. A major plus for... more

We started our trip to Italy in Rome, and based on reviews on trip advisor, chose the Hotel Raffaello. It was wonderful. We arrived at 8am, and since check-in wasn't until the afternoon, they held our baggage while we went out to see the sights. The front desk staff was incredible in their knowledge and love of the city. We... more

This hotel was exactly what we wanted a comfortable place to stay within easy walking distance of the sights (Colleseum forum etc). The staff were welcoming and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean, breakfast was generous and tasty. If i had one comment the Bath rooms were small. I have already recommended this hotel to others more
