Stayed two nights at the Hotel Raffaello and will go back when visiting Rome again. The staff are fantastic - ready and very willing to help, even explaining things you hadn't thought about!
The hotel is in a great location and easy walking (around twenty minutes) to many attractions including the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Baths of Diocletian, the Pantheon etc. The front desk can also tell you about the hop on hop off tour buses; a great way to see Rome and "get your bearings", or call a taxi for you. Taxis (we think) are a good way to get around at a reasonable cost (always use the City's official taxis, white ones, and make sure the meter is on).
The Hotel (very good communication before our stay) also pre booked a taxi for us from the airport - very efficient. The rooms are beautifully furnished, decorated in a traditional style and are very comfortable with en-suite and good air-con. Breakfast was superb with a very good selection of cereals, meats, fruit, toast etc.
Thanks to all the staff for a very enjoyable stay – would highly recommend staying here.
