We had a quad with 2 adjoining rooms. Each was spacious. The bathroom was compact but clean and well appointed. It was exceptionally quiet and very convenient to the train station- perhaps a ten minute walk. Urban Street is an interesting street with a pizzeria and candy store recommended by Bon Appetite. There are some good places to eat dinner as well. The breakfast was very good- a nice selection with excellent hot beverages. One or our party needed ice for her back and the staff was excellent in helping her out.

It was nice, but not great. The location wasn't quite as nice as expected, but I had never been to Rome before so I really didn't know where to stay. We had a homeless person sleeping a few feet from our doorstep every night which isn't what you want to be confronted with every morning.

We stayed at this hotel twice in our trip: on arriving in Rome and the night before leaving. We had 2 different rooms, so our experiences were different. The first room was a top floor unit with huge rooftop patio. This was fantastic, as it gave us a place to relax. The second room was without the patio and less interesting and at a much higher rate than our first stay. The surrounding area is very convenient for all of the normal sites and about a 15 minute walk from the train station. The area in one direction goes past some homeless folks but they didn't bother us. The selection of restaurants is good, but not outstanding. The staff was courtesy but level of service was spotty. We had only a single plastic cup in our room and getting some decent glasses for wine took some doing. On one stay, the front desk was not helpful at all for finding a good restaurant, while on our last night we had a fantastic dinner arranged for us, so it depends on who's on duty. Overall a comfortable place and location in the middle of the action in Rome, assuming you can get a room for a good price and especially if you can get one of the patio units.

We stayed at the Raffaello for 4 nights. The Hotel is situated off the busy and noisey main roads and in easy walking distance to surrounding restaurants and shops etc. The breakfast was of a typical good continental standard. We would be happy to recommend this hotel to our friends for future visits. The bedroom was compact with a very nice bathroom and Jaccuzzi shower unit.

Although a little expensive for a 3 star hotel we believe it was worth the money. The hotel is clean and in good decorative order. The staff are friendly with English spoken at reception and in breakfast room. Our room was very comfortable as was the bed and we had a lovely view over rooftops. The bathroom was a reasonable size with a very good shower and good toiletries were provided. Only criticism of bathroom was a lack of shelving and clothes hanger The usual range of cereals, cold meats, yoghurts, fruit etc for breakfast together with delicious scrambled egg. Plenty of everything. The location of the hotel is excellent, about 8-l0 minutes walk from Termini and just about l00 metres off Via Cavour on narrow little cobbled street. Despite being so close to Via Cavour it is quiet and safe. It is no more than l0 minutes from the Colosseum and it is easy to reach any part of the city by foot or public transport. A must-see just round the corner from the hotel is Santa Maria Maggiore. So plain from outside but inside it is just wonderful. Overall I would say Hotel Raffaelo is good value for money, is in an excellent location and is comfortable and welcoming with good breakfast.

Very clean, friendly hotel located near to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming and the breakfasts were the best we had in Italy. The hotel certainly did the best coffee we tasted the whole time we were over there. We would certainly return.

This is quite simply a stunning hotel for the price! We were in Rome for two weeks with friends, who stayed at other hotels, and we were the envy of them all, both in the fact that we paid less than them, and had vastly superior rooms and service than them! The staff spoke excellent English, the breakfast was superb and the rooms and linen spotlessly clean. Bathrooms were excellent, with brilliant showers. Couldn't hear any of the other rooms at all.

The hotel was absolutely fantastic. We went there for my wifes 40th Birthday and although I hadn't asked for anything when we returned on the afternoon of her birthday, there was a bottle of champagne and snacks in our room which I though was a lovely touch. All this was done from seeing some birthday cards. the staff were really helpful and spoke excellent English. I would definatley recommend this hotel and would visit it again when I return to Rome, which is definately going to happen.
