This three-star hotel met every need and truly felt like home-from-home. There are historical sites close-by and a large supermarket for groceries, which is really useful. The room was great. It was roomy and very clean with a great shower, although the shower was a bit small. The lovely staff were always helpful and lovely and will show you nothing but kindness. They will answer all your questions with the same level of friendliness each time. The hotel provided a Continental breakfast with all the usual fare, very good quality. 
We stayed at the Raffaello for three nights. The hotel is in a safe area and within walking distance to the Colosseum and the Termini. The rooms were very clean but the shower was incredibly small. 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, and requests for taxi service. Breakfast was excellent, the best we had during our 12 day travels throughout Italy, and included scrambled eggs daily. One day, however, a lady had her purse stolen while at the breakfast buffet. Someone must have come in from the outside, blended in with the crowd, and made off with the purse. If I return to Italy I would try to stay nearer the Campo de Fiori area for the night life and restaurants.

We stayed five nights in the Hotel Raffaello in June. It was an absolute pleasure from the time we were checked in by Angelo until our departure. We had been conned by a taxi driver out of 90 for a 10 fare and of course were upset upon arrival. But Angelo was fabulous and we stayed in the room with the balcony, which was a great size. We were there to get engaged and as I had mentioned that to Angelo, within ten minutes of getting into our room a bottle of champagne was delivered up to us. The staff are absolutely lovely and I will recommend this hotel to anyone I know travelling to Rome. We hated to leave. To all of the staff in Hotel Raffaello, thank you for your kindness.

We found the Raffaello hotel to meet all our needs. The room was very comfortable and even enjoyed the jacuzzi shower once we worked out how to use it! The location is excellent, 5 mins away from the Termini and the Colosseum and an easy walk to all other tourist locations. Especially enjoyed the breakfast which offered an assortment of pastries, cold meats, bread, scrambled eggs, fruit and cake. Yum Yum! Amazing cappuccino's!

Because of a mistake on my part, I had to cancel the day of our arrival at the last minute. After explaining my problem they took car of the change without charges. We cannot rave enough about the service from the front desk staff and the wonderful treatment by the two women in the breakfast room. The rooms were roomy and beyond clean. We think this is a hidden gem in Rome. Joe & Bev Wood Macungie PA

Excellent location if you want to consider somewhere close enough to the main train terminus to walk to/back, and near the main tube line as well as the historic sites. The room was very pleasant no noise, and breakfast was simple but substantive. The hotel is also near to the large supermarket which may be used to make lunch to help reduce costs on the long days walks ahead. Great centre overall to base your visit

Clean, comfortable room with good wi-fi connection. Staff was very friendly and helpful. As mentioned by other reviewers, close to the train station and colosseum, a bit distant to Campo de' Fiore, Piazza Navona, etc. Other comparable hotels were more expensive, so this was a very good value. Solid 3 star type of hotel.
