We were to be in Rome for a week and decided to splurge and stay at a nice hotel. We made a mistake with Hotel Raphael. This is a very expensive place and is supposed to be decorated with antiques and beautiful throughout. The pros: The location is excellent and the hotel outside is pretty, and there are pretty antiques... More

Hotel Raphael has a lot going for it. Location can't be beat. . We stayed in one of The Richard Meier Junior Suites and it was very nice. Staff is courteous and professional. Breakfast is impressive and the little deserts left in the room are a nice touch. As was the bottle of wine. So why did't I rate this... More

We stayed here this week for only one night at the end of a cruise. Wished we had stayed longer, but we were in Rome just 2 yrs. ago. It is in an excellent location - only 1 block from busy Piazza Navona, but you would never know it as it is so quiet and charming! Very friendly and helpful... More

My wife and I are finishing up a trip through Italy. Our travel agent had booked us with solid good hotels in Milan, Como, Venice, and Florence. Our rooms in Como, Venice, and Florence were good-central locations to all points of interest. We found the review on hotel Raphael on tripadvisor and actually changed our reservation to this one. There... More

This small gem exceeded our expectations. Check-in was quick and friendly. The location is perfect for walking to many of the top sights. There is an incredible view of the city from restaurant. Our room was beautiful with an amazing bathroom. The entire hotel was spotless. Our group of four women raved about the breakfast each morning. What I most... More

I stayed for one night but wish it could have been longer. I thought this was a lovely hotel and had a distinctly unique feel. It isn't the most modern but somehow in Rome that seems appropriate. The gym is in the basement in what could double up as a ballroom. The service was excellent and the rooms were very... More

The Hotel Raphael is perfectly for touring ancient Rome. It is elegant, but not stuffy. A little gem that could only be found in Rome. The service was excellent and the breakfast was absolutely terrific. Our beautiful room had a little terrace and we enjoyed it thoroughly. I can't imagine a more lovely place to stay in Rome. I miss... More

I was a little surprised that the hotel was much smaller than I had imagined. However the room we had was very nice & the bathrooms were very high quality as were the furnishings.

This Rather small hotel is situated neat Piazza Navona. 10 minutes walk from Rome's best shopping area and a minute's walk from an abundance of restaurant and bars. Rooms are well appointed. Service is personal and very good. We received tasty canapés every evening (our children stayed at a slightly cheaper room and did not receive). We enjoyed our stay... More
