We would like to thank Flavia who served us at breakfast.

Delightful stay - the breakfast was lovely, the staff were warm and welcoming, service was outstanding, hotel is clean and the rooms are neat.

Breakfast area was clean and comfortable and the staff there were very pleasant.

The breakfast was really good with lots of selection and really good fresh squeezed orange juice and cappuccino.

Also, really lovely breakfast and service which helped us to fuel up and start our day, the location was just perfect.

but the hotel was clean, comfortable, breakfast (optional) filled a hole and service was great.

While the hotel's elevator was broken, they helped us bring our bags to our rooms and compensated us with free breakfast, which was very delicious.

The wait staff at the breakfast area was amazing.

The staff were lovely and the breakfast fantastic.

Staff at reception and in the breakfast room and the cleaning staff are lovely and do a wonderful job.

We didn’t have breakfast any morning as we were up and gone sightseeing early.

Extensive breakfast enabled us to skip lunch most days as we were touring.

The breakfast serving staff was very attentive.

The lift wasn’t working for the week so had to carry our luggage up to our room.

Lift doesn't work, no hot water night or in the morning.

Notes: the elevator is out of commission and, according to the front desk, will be for some time.

There were no elevators and if you have mobility issues this can be a real problem and the shower was like getting into a cubicle with no room to move.

Only downside is the lift doesn’t work so it’s a very tough climb up to 4th floor on steep stairs even for fit people😅

Only downsides were the lift not working (

The only issue we had was that the elevator was not working, so walking up and down the stairs was a bit of a workout for a couple in our 70's.

The elevator was broken and the staff was very apologetic

Lift was broken, staff were unhelpful/rude.

The next day we woke up and the lift was broken, so therefore I had 3 flights of stairs to get to reception.

The lift is way too small (3 pax can barely stand in it) and stops at intermediate levels, so you always have to climb up/down the stairs for reaching the rooms, which is quite inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage.

Negative includes: very small room, tiny elevator (1 person with luggage at most), elevator stops between floors (so, at least 9 steps to walk) and VERY small shower.

This is a boutique hotel, so there is only one small elevator and stairs are more convenient.

every time I arrive back to the hotel I have to wait 5 to 10 minutes just get on the elevator.

Only complaint would be the very small elevator that stops in between floors so one still has to either go up or down a flight of stairs to get to your room.

The hotel is centrally located, 10min walk to colosseum and roman forum ruins, 10min from bath ruins and national museum and around 25min to trevoli fountain and Spanish steps.

The hotels location is brilliant as it is easy to walk between Termini and some of the bigger sights such a the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi fountain and so on.

This is a great little hotel only about six blocks from Roman forum and four blocks from subways and trains.

Location is everything, within walking distance to the Colosseum/Roman Forum, the train station, and major sites such as the Santa Maria Maggiore and the Diocletian Baths which is now a church.Staff is helpful and a full breakfast is provided.I will definitely come back!

Location was great:
- 10 minutes easy walk from Roma Termini Train station, great for quick ride to Vatican City and its tourist destinations
- Basilica Di santa Maria Maggiore was 2 minutes walk
- 15 minutes walk to Colosseum & Roman Forum
- 15 minutes walk to Trevi Fountain

Hotel experience:
- Great hotel staff, helped us to keep the bags with them till our rooms were getting ready and we went exploring the city.

It's in a great location 10 minute walk from the Colosseum/Roman Forum and 10 minute walk from the main Termini train station.

It is superbly located, within easy walking distance of the colosseum, Roman Forum, Il Vittoriano monument and Palatine Hill. In fact, with this hotel as our base, we walked everywhere across the city and saw everything we wanted to (and more!)

Convenient location - about 5 min walk to the Termini Station, about 5 minutes to Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, and about 20- 25 minute walk to the Coliseum, Roman Forum, etc.

The hotel is ideally located, just a ten minute walk from Rome Termini and within walking distance of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps (all around 15-20 minutes).

You can easily walk to Roma Terminii,  the Roman Forum and in the opposite direction the Colliseum.

The Raffaello Hotel is very conveniently located near the main train terminal (Termini) and within easy walking distance to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

The hotel was walking distance to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Termini Station and walking-short bus trips on Via Nazionale (2 blocks away) to Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Vittorio Emmanuel, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps and definitely a bus to Vatican.

It is a good location as coliseum/Roman Forum/Palatine Hill are all about 10/15 mins from here.

In terms of location – Hotel Raffaello is within comfortable walking distance (1 km) of a number of tourist attractions, including the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain.

We loved the location -- about 10 minute walk to Termini train station and about 15-20 minute walk to Colosseum and Roman Forum.

We walked to most sites in Roma; the hotel is within easy walking distance to the Colosseum & Roman Forum.

but again you can walk to the collesseum and roman forum within ten minutes and the subway to get everywhere else is about five minutes away!

The location is superb - just 10-15 mins walk from the Colosseum and Roman Forum which was the main focus of our stay.

It was on a great localization, close to Colisseum, Roman Forum and Termini Train Station.

The hotel is located about 1/2 mile from the main train station and is in walking distance to sites like the Colosseum, Roman Forum.

The only downside was the size of the corner shower which was really small and barely manageable.

The bathroom is also small and everything works.

but the bathroom…..we had to step up 2 steps to a small door into the very small bathroom.

However, another family member was in a different room and their bathroom was quite small

The shower takes a little getting used to because it is small

The shower was rather small and not the easiest to move around in.

We stayed here for 8 nights so a few things were frustrating:  a tiny shower that might not accommodate a person with above average weight or height, the lack of hair conditioner and Kleenex, and a satellite TV system that does not work consistently.

The room was adequate for our needs (although the shower was a little small!).

though the small showers took some getting used to.

The only minus would have to be the very small shower!

The rooms are a bit small by North American standards

Not everything is perfect, though, the safe in the room is very small.

The elevator/“lift” to the rooms is quite small as are the rooms themselves.

The elevator is VERY small & there is only room for one person with luggage at a time.

Hotel was very outdated, the rooms were small, the bathroom shower was a nightmare, very small and dangerous  (almost fell out) with little to no water pressure.

The cleaniness
Once again, yes the room was small,

so we asked to move rooms
As its just 2 small and room was dirty.they met is with contempt.

When we left, we congratulated him on the way the breakfast was conducted and he impressed us with the modesty he showed.

Incredible breakfast as a part of the room.

but the main asset of this hotel are Alessandro and his breakfast and restaurant teams!

The rooms and facilities are spotless,  breakfast issuperb.

A plus would be the food, the breakfast especially!

Breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice, Alessandro was the perfect host.

The in room food /drinks included and refilled daily, the breakfast included was 5 star and incredible selection, customer service over all 5/5 star.

Great location, great service, great breakfast and great people!

All staff were impeccable and the breakfasts were simply stunning.

I can still taste the Americano coffee, it was so good, and the food was of highest quality, fresh, and delicious.

The breakfast is excellent with a huge variety and the roof top restaurant has a very nice atmosphere as well as food and drinks.

The rooms and beds are beautiful and comfortable, the staff friendly and accommodating, and we looked forward to the fabulous breakfast every day.

It was about a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, and Trevi fountain.

It is about a 20 minute walk to the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, about 15 minutes to the Pantheon and Trevi fountain and don't forget to visit the Basilica of St Maria Maggiore which is about 10 minutes away.

During our three night stay they organised our tickets for the Roman Forum, and gave restaurant recommendations and booked us a table.

Location was perfect for what we wanted to see and do with 15 minute walks to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Trevi Fountain.

Easy walking distance to Metro and Roman Forum, short cab to the train station.

Hotel Artemide is situated close to many attractions and is a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, The Pantheon.

Great location - we walked to every attraction (Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine hill, Pantheon, Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, Jewish Ghetto, Trastevere) apart from Vatican City.

The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain are all within walking distance.

15-20 minute walk to the Colosseum, Palantine Hill, and Roman Forum.

Very convenient to popular sites in Rome (Trevi, colosseum, Spanish steps, Roman forum).

The Colosseum and Roman Forum were within walking distance

The basic rooms are very small and don't offer much of a view beyond the building across the street.

My only criticism, and it's a tiny thing, is the washroom size in the rooms are small,

Initially they booked out to a double room which was quite small with no view

The only difference between the two rooms is that room 404 has a small narrow balcony.

The room was on the small side (we had a deluxe comfort, I think) which more than adequate.

While the rooms are somewhat small, the hotel decor and amenities were top quality.

Also worth a mention were Sebastian and Davide so helpful and accomodating .The rooms were great one small negative was that they were a tad small .

We didn’t have time to address it with the staff, and tried to just deal with the temperature issues.

The AC was effective at maintaining a temperature and nearly silent. Yay!

It’s a longer walk to ley attractions if you go without Metro — 20-30 minutes to most places which is difficult in 99f temps.

The issue is that the shower did not keep a consistent temperature nor pressure.

Then the temperature of the water was changing by itself.

Hard to sleep with the noise from the street and the green temperature control lights shining in our eyes.

but the bed was not as comfortable, and the a/c would not go below a set temperature, at night, the room was a little warm as the only a/c vent was not blowing towards the bed.

It was the only hotel we stayed in during a 10-day Italy vacation that had functioning temperature control in the room.

I absolutely loved the decor, rooftop cafe, breakfast quality and food selection.

friendly, and helpful, the rooms are beautifully decorated (as are the public spaces), the amenities are great, the breakfast upstairs on the terrace - with views in two directions - is super, as is dinner.

Lots of breakfast options including gluten free for my son.

The views from the rooftop are amazing, having breakfast looking at the Colosseum was very special.

A wonderful Hotel, clean rooms, good food, especially breakfast buffet, helpful staff took time to make sure we knew how and where the bus operated, and within walking distance to the Coloseum, as well as lots of great sidewalk cafes.

We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and loved everything.

Excellent hotel with great breakfast choices, comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

Breakfast was pretty standard, not a vast choice

There’s a lovely rooftop breakfast dining area and a reception bar area for coffee or drinks.

The staff were excellent and the breakfast varied and tasty.

Large clean rooms, great breakfast, and friendly staff.

Breakfast buffet was delicious with plenty of choice.

The daily breakfast was fully stocked and delicious.

The selection was very good - healthy and tasted great.

Breakfast was included and we were stunned at the beautiful buffet that was served.

Breakfast was super, with plenty of choice.

As has been stated before, the view from the breakfast room of the Colosseum is wonderful.

Breakfast was great with the option of the roof top terrace.

The only improvement would be to have some sockets next to the bed so you can charge things next to your bed

Beware of high charges from taxis back from main areas.

We accidentally broke one of the bike keys and was charged for a replacement which I feel wasn’t warranted.

but most have a card scanner so you can enter with your own card.

Even little Italian candies awaited us in the rooms at check in with a sweet card that had Halloween motifs!

Taxi rank at end of street, opposite Colosseum - confirm with driver prior to hire journey is metered, otherwise you may be vastly overcharged - witnessed this regularly!

When we got back from dinner someone at the front desk tried to tell me that we would be billed for this broken glass container.

I did think there was a lack of charging points in the room and a lack of lighting, particularly in the evening.

We contacted the hotel with more than 24 hours notice, and they still charged us a 1 night cancellation penalty, claiming the hotel required 3 DAYS NOTICE.

Travel tip: in case your phone runs out of battery, take a Hotel Business card with you so you can show return driver the address) sometimes our pronunciation of the area is lost in translation.

This seems to be only a ROME thing as other parts of Italy we could add to credit card.

I am sure that if you go to this heartless hotel they will see you just like a bill, coin, check, credit card or travel check and non like a guest who are given them the money to eat.

buttons sometimes work and sometimes don't, so I couldn't turn lights on or off as I wanted, so I'd just pull the card out and wait for them to go off on the timer.

You can only pay by credit card and the ticket covers entry to both attractions and is valid for 2 days.

When we arrived from Australia our bags did not and the hotel reception took charge of chasing the airline to get our bags for us and thankfully they arrived 24 hours later.

Hotel does not have an iron in room or available and charges for pressing clothes.

Drinks can be served up here and charged to your room for check out.

The only downside for me, and this is probably expected from a hotel of this standard, is that the hotel charges for pressing rather than allowing the use of an iron in the room.

Perfectly sited for the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.

A very short walk to the major sites of Ancient Rome (Colosseum, Roman Forum).

Just a few minutes' walk from the famous Colosseum and the ancient Roman Forum, this hotel is a perfect destination for some of the best of what this incredible city has to offer.

Hotel is in a great location near The Colosseum and Roman Forum.

The hotel is very close to many prime attractions including the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

It was walking distance to the Colosseum and Roman Forum.

The Colloseum and Roman forum is only a five minute walk away.

Loved this hotel and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome

Ps Book your tickets for the Colosseum and Roman forum and Vatican etc on line it’s much quicker and you skip the queues .

Colloseum and Roman Forum are literally 2 blocks away.

This modern hotel is a 5 minute walk to the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill.

Great hotel if you want to be close to the Coliseum and Roman Forum and away for the busier and noisier part of Rome.

The hotel is within a 5 min walk of the colloseum and roman forum.

Just a five minute walk to the Coliseum and Roman Forum.

Well-appointed, nice contemporary style, rooftop terrace with view of the Coliseum, very conveniently located to the Roman Forum and Coliseum.

Just minutes from the colosseum and the Roman Forum.

We also regularly walked into the main city centre to visit other attractions like the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Monument and Pantheon; that walk took about 15-20 minutes and there was plenty to see along the way so it was a nice walk.

This medium sized boutique hotel, 65 rooms I think I recall reading, is a mere 3 blocks from the Colosseo and Roman Forum, at the end of quiet via with a few pleasant, reasonably priced restaurants along its length.

Situated on a quiet back street of Rome, within a short walk from the Colisseum and Roman Forum, this gem of a hotel is perfect for a stay in the Eternal City.

but in short walking distance from the colosseum and Roman Forum.

the Roman Forum and for walking to the Appian Way.

Breakfast was disappointing
Great location.

Breakfast in the morning is a treat with a wide variety of options, both hot and cold.

Hotel rooms quaint with everything you need and breakfast was fine with plenty of choices.

Great breakfast served from 7 -10, and bar open at night 5 -11.

Breakfast was delicious with a good choice of foods.

Pros

Great location 

Great air conditioning 

Quiet rooms

Fans on request 

Beautiful bar

Fun courtyard

Good breakfast 

Comfy sitting area adjacent to front desk 

Cons
Funky elevator system with two small elevators to get to most rooms

Glass between front desk and patrons

Unassuming front entrance

The breakfast was also great, lots of options.

Breakfast is a decent selection of meats and pastries.

The breakfast room is clean and well organized.

They offer breakfast which is possibly deliberately ensuring all nationalities are made happy rather than being typically Italian

but this is a classic continental italian style breakfast of which we can appreciate!

Happy with to see nuts ,raisins and granola as an option.

There was a selection of pastries, toast and cereal,

The free breakfast was more than I expected.

Good breakfast- everything you could want (coffee could’ve been nicer though)
Nice entrance lobby and bar.

An old fashioned hotel with quirky lifts.

Room, bathroom and lifts all tiny as others have mentioned,

rooms are small, my husband barely could fit in the shower, room was not made after returning from dinner, towels left on floor,room Keyes did not work, had to take 2 elevators to get to room.The area was great and the lobby was nice

I do agree with the elevator commets posted by others.

You have to take at least 2 different elevators to get to your room and then still climb 2 flights of stairs.

Depending where your room is you have to take two tiny lifts to get there.

My only disappointment ( and reason for not giving five stars) was the last evening when we found that the lift wasn’t working.

The next morning, the elevator was broken, so I had to walk down 8 flights of stairs.

If you are not in the main building, you will have to endure the tiniest elevator (fits 2 without luggage) I have ever seen.

The lifts are a bit of negotiation when you have several large suitcases

It's an old hotel with all that comes with that; narrow corridors, small rooms,small lift

The hotel has very small rooms, the elevator only fits two people, Service at this hotel was very cold and not so friendly.

The room we were then given was in the corner next to the lift and was so small we could only just move around the bed and had to move a chair to open the wardrobe.
