Minutes from the Piazza del Popolo, about 10 minutes to the Spanish steps and close to the easy to navigate metro which we took to the Vatican and Colosseum.

Flat roads everywhere and could do all attractions like Vatican and Colosseum in 40 minutes easily.

It’s about to 10 minute walk to the Spanish steps, 15 or so to the Trevi fountain and 20 to the Vatican and the colosseum.

All the normal sights to see like The Vatican, Trevi Fountain & The Colosseum take your breathe away make an effort to see these at night they are beautiful, I would suggest if you go to the Vatican & the Colosseum buy tickets in advance to jump the queues, they are very long in peak season and in that heat, I can assure you its not fun, we used Tiqets.com they were good.

The location is a tad away from the hustle and bustle which I really liked, we walked to all the high points including The Vatican and The Colosseum.

The hotel was exceptional, clean and welcoming, and whilst one of the smaller hotels I would recommend it highly, the location is outside of the centre BUT with easy access to all the main sites and we walked everywhere except the colosseum as this is close to a 1 hour walk

We booked Skip the lone for the Colosseum and Vatican and its well worth it, not only for avoiding the ques

For us it was conveniently placed for what we wanted to visit, colosseum a 40 minutes walk away & if your not wanting to walk there is public transport just a minute away as well as a taxi or you can jump on a tram.

The location of this hotel served us very well as we walked everywhere during our stay, including the Colosseum & Vatican, and it is very handy for the Piazza del Popolo, Spanish Steps & surrounding streets of restaurants and shops

Getting to and from main attractions like the Colosseum/Vatican was very simple and the Piazza down the road from the hotel made it very easy to navigate through Rome.

We walked to the Vatican, we walked to the Colosseum - it was wonderful!

Hotel is in a perfect location for the underground and we used this to get to the colosseum €1.50 a journey.

If take the road down the centre between the 2 churches you can walk through to the Piazza Venezia, behind is the Roman Forum and you can also see the Colosseum.

The location is great, just 2 minutes from the metro, which is only then 2 stops to the vatican city and 5 stops to the colosseum.

We paid €35 each for a guided tour of the colosseum, palatine and forum after being approached by a tout when you get to the colosseum.

We were able to walk to most places, including Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Vennizia, Forum and Colosseum.

Main attraction such as the Vatican and colosseum were a little further than walking

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.

As other reviewers have said -it's two buildings joined together , you need to take an elevator to the first floor then another to any other floors above.

you take a small elevator to get to a smaller elevator to go up to your room.

The elevator was also very tiny, so we took the stairs up to the 7th floor every day.

The elevator is a little small and "creepy" especially if you are claustrophobic.

There is an issue that two buildings were put together and you need to change elevators for some of the rooms.

Great location near Tram, Piazza del Popolo and 1 block from metro train stop.

This hotel is set in a good location near a metro station and piazza del popolo.

The hotel is ideally situated just a minutes walk from the Piazza del Popolo so you are ideally situated close to the main areas

The hotel was lovely traditional decor and in a good location 5 min walking distance to piazza del popolo close to attractions and shops close to tube
Lovely reception area and bar lounge
The customer service was excellent and all the staff were lovely from the reception staff who were very helpful in giving us directions to the bar/breakfast/porter and cleaning staff who were Polite/ friendly acknowledging us with a smile.

Hotel is located right near piazza del popolo.

A great location next to Piazza del Popolo, metro, tram and bus stops .

As the hotel is near Piazza del Popolo, it gives easy access to the main tourist sights in town.

On the doorstep of Piazza del Popolo which leads to 3 main roads of shops and restaurants.

The hotel is in an excellent location and we found we could walk to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and even closer the Piazza del Popolo.

Booked this hotel after reading both the reivews and looking at the website..location is great very close to the gates at the Piazza del popolo.

Location excellent just outside Piazza del Popolo, within walking distance (if you like walking) of everything.

Th ehotel is just around the corner from the metro and 2 blocks from Piazza del Popolo which makes short walks to get to where you are going. All the staff were so helpful with directions and recommendations ro just for a quick chat (shout out to Fredricka!!!)

It was clean, quiet and ideally located for easy access to the city (close to Piazza del Popolo).

First stop Rome and this wonderful Hotel
Great Location - 2 minutes to the Piazza del Popolo
Good Room - a little small

It is  very close to the Piazza del Popolo (watch out for the pick-pockets) and the Vatican is 20-25 minutes away.

Nice and friendlly staff, clean Hotel great location for short walk to Piazza del Popolo and other sites are within walking distance.

Stayed at the River Palace it is close to Piazza del Popolo.

Close to the Spanish steps, Borgesi Gardens and Piazza del Popolo (upmarket shops).

Shower is very small which I think is kinda expected in Italy.

The only negative thing this hotel has is small shower.

but adequate which we could have upgraded to a larger one if required, the bed was very comfortable, but the toilet was very small and the shower also very tight, not a lot of room to move in the toilet at all.

but the bathroom was very small with toilet facing the shower and you were literally touching the shower cubicle with your knees,also the shower cubicle was very small.

The main floor had the bathroom and a small closet.

The shower was tiny and it's round door kept falling off the rail so that was fun.

I looked at a standard room and the rooms were small with small bathrooms, depends how long your spending in your room I guess.

The shower was tiny and some people, dependant on height and size may struggle to get in, out and wash below the waist.

The bathroom was also tiny and uncomfortable.

however i have never seen such a tiny bathroom.

but was still quite small -we knew the floor area when booking but in our case at least some of that was a sort of corridor to the (small bathroom).

The rooms are small and the bathrooms are smaller,

Only negative is that our shower was very small, if you dropped something there wasn't enough room to bend and get it!

although a little small had all the amenities required for our short stay.

My boyfriend is 6’2 and had no problem using the supposedly ‘small’ shower cubicle so I think many of the other reviewers may be being a little bit pedantic about sizes.

The rooms and bathrooms are quite small and we had a little trouble with the air conditioning.

Major CON: I'm 5'11/6 ft tall and the bathroom was very small specifically the Shower.

Bath is very small and room is cramped for the price.

The rooms are small (as expected in the old building).

The communication via email prior to our arrival was prompt as I requested a taxi transfer from the airport and our return which the hotel organised for us we also booked tours through the reception 
Really can’t fault the hotel the only thing I would say is that we had the classic double room which was small so if you want a large room book one of the others

I will begin with the cons - the room is tiny.

The rooms are quite small as to be expected in a city centre hotel

If there is a downside it is that the rooms are really small.

slightly disappointed initially as room was quite small

The location is amazing too, close to the metro, piazzo del poppolo and spanish steps.

Super close to the metro, walking distance to Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Borghese Gardens/art gallery and Trevi Fountain with a lot of restaurants and shops.

the road to the left leads to the Spanish steps (10 min walk from hotel) which were very busy

Trevi fountain, Spanish steps and pantheon are like 15-30min walk.

Location really good close to metro stop, borgeuse gardens, Spanish steps, trevi fountain, piazzo du popolla 2 long streets full of shops including all designer shops too!

Hotel is very close to the Piazzo de Poppolo, once you cross the piazza you are about a 10/15 minute walk away from the Spanish steps and the Trevi  fountain so you don’t need to book a trip to see these.

The hotel is within easy walking distance from Popolo - a fair 40 minute walking distance from the Spanish Steps/Trevi Fountain .

Conveniently located close to the Flaminio metro station and easy walking distance to the Spanish Steps beyond Piaza del popolo.

Hotel was walking distance central location for stunning historic buildings, 
The Vatican City
Colloseum 
Spanish Steps ect
Hotel staff 'saved the day' ensuring a taxi drove us to Airprt due to incorrect time on our transfer information 
We would definitely stay at River Palace Hotel again & recommend it's warm hospitality

The location was perfect for walking to the vatican or the spanish steps.

Set just footsteps from the local metro, it has easy access to the Central train station and therefore the airport and is only minutes on the metro to the Spanish Steps and from there a short walk to Trevi.

The hotel is walking distance to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain and there are hundreds of shops and restaurants within walking distance too.

We were just a 10 minute walk to the Spanish steps.

The hotel is lovely right were you need it to be in walking distance of all the trips we wanted to do
Trevi fountain colesium vatacan st peters brazilcar any many more.its not a hotel where if theres a crowd of you looking for a good time and drinking loads its a very quiet hotel very laid back it does have a court yard were your allowed to smoke if you wish

Trevi fountain is also off the main road all in walking distance, this is beautiful to see

but still within easy walking distance to land marks - Trevi fountain about 10 minutes, colloseum and Vatican about 30-40 mins etc.

The Trevi Fountain is 10 min The Spanish Steps 10 min and the Vatican is 15 min .

Easy walk to Trevi fountain, Vatican , subway stop, and the best pizza just across the street.

Upon check in the staff was very friendly, and helped us with a map to plan a night walk around to the Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Navona, Pantheon & Trevi Fountain!

but it was spotlessly clean, well appointed and close to the centre of town, just a short walk to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

The location was ideal with easy walking distance to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

Walking distance to Piazza del Popolo, Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon (bring your best pair of walking shoes).

but well located and within easy walking distance to shopping areas and a number of the sights such as: Piazza de Popolo, the Trevi Fountain, Galleria Borghese and the Spanish steps.

The Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps are only a ten minute walk away.

The River Palace is also in a great location, allowing us to walk to a wonderful shopping area and several sites.

The rest of the staff were lovely and helpful and the location is  easy for walking to most attractions.

We love the location and accessibility to many sites by walking and the Metro.

It was centrally located and a decent walk to everything we needed.

The location is about a 25 minute walk into the heart of Rome, which isn't awful

Near a metro, buses, a tram and if you wanted you could walk to the centre of Rome in about 30-40 mins.

Loved our neighbourhood and found we could walk to most things we wanted to see.

If you don't feel like walking there is a metro stop very close by.

Well what a great hotel , staff are excellent and nothing is a problem, a great location and an easy walk to all the fun places in Rome , this is one hotel I will definitely return too and they have a happy hour, rooms are lovely and clean and the breakfast was excellent.

The hotel is very central for all the sights which we walked to.

The hotel is in a fantastic location with most main attractions within 20 minutes walking distanced, we walked absolutely everywhere!

The hotel is warm, welcoming and very well situated for access to the tram and metro and close enough to many of the major sights for you to be able to walk.

The location is perfect - just around the corner from the metro station and all the sights were within a 15-30 mins walk.

It is very close to one of the metro stations and a short walk to the Piazza de Popolo.

Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, perfectly placed hotel - 10/15 minute walk from some of the main tourist sites, room was amazing and comfortable, couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

but would bring a travel kettle and the best walking shoes possible.

Lots of places to eat in the area and 5 min walk to the Piazza del Poppolo.

River Palace Hotel

small room

elevator

small bathroom

spanish-steps

trevi-fountain

colosseum

The hotel is in Monti (I think) and was walking distance to the colosseum, Trevi, Spanish Steps, Pantheon and Termini station.

Walked to major sites - Colosseum, Trevi, Spanish Steps.

Also an easy 10 min walk to the Colosseum.

Walking distance to the colosseum as well as most of Rome's major tourist attractions.

very nice hotel ,great breakfast,good location for sightseeing,very near is supermarket ,bars,restaurants and less than ten minutes walking to colosseum,and also metro is five minute walking distance, quiet for sleeping, very helpfull people at hotel. ..

It will take you about 10 minutes to walk to the Colosseum and very good restaurants close by, safe area though.

We walked to the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain which were about 10-15 minutes walking as well.

Walking distance to the Colosseum & Plaza  Maria de Maggiorrie, well worth visiting.

Great location and can easily walk to Colosseum and enjoy a nice stroll through old town.

Though it is very central (within walking distance to the Colosseum), it was very quiet.

The Hotel Raffaello - Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western is near these landmarks: Chiesa del Bambino Gesù, Roman legionary base Novae, Chiesa dei Santi Cosma e Damiano, Pantheon, Chiesa di San Bartolomeo, Chiesa di San Bartolomeo, Piazza del Popolo, Chiesa Santa Caterina da Siena, Autodromo di Vallelunga, Riserva Naturale di Nomentum, Donnardea, Convento San Silvestro, Oasi di Porto, Castelnuovo di Porto, Villa d'Este, Castello Odescalchi di Bracciano, Bosco Macchia Grande, Colosseum, Chiesa Parrocchiale dei Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio, Theatre Of Marcellus, Chiesa di Santa Dorotea, Chiesa di San Pietro, Chiesa San Pietro, Chiesa di San Pietro, Italiadventure - Survival Experience, Parrocchia Beata Vergine Maria Immacolata, Chiesa di Gesù Maestro, Santuario di Santa Maria dell'Acquasanta, Santuario Madonna del Castagno, Tempio Santa Maria Della Rotonda, Villa Adriana, Rocca Colonna di Castelnuovo di Porto, Lago Pratignano, Chiesa del Gonfalone, Parrocchia S.

The hotel is centrally located (a few blocks from the Colosseum) and is really lovely.

but it is in a fantastic location, 10 minutes walk from termini station and approx 15 minutes walk to the colosseum.

Easy walking distance to all main location, Colosseum, trevi fountain & spanish steps.

We chose the Raffaello because it is close to Termini station and also the archeological sites. In truth, we walked to all the locations we visited (Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill, Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, Vatican, Parthenon, etc.)

The hotel is located blocks from the Termini train station and blocks from the Colosseum.

For starters, this hotel is within walking distance of so many attractions including the Colosseum, Santa Maria Majore Church and San Piedro Nicolo.

I was able to visit the Colosseum and the Vatican city and commute using just the buses 81 and 64.

The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the Cavour, Republica, and Termini metro stations, and less than a 15 minute walk from the Colosseum and surrounding ruins.

My ten year old son and I had a great stay at Hotel Raffaelo is ideally located within easy walking distance from the Colosseum, the Forum, Trevi Fountain and Rome's central station.

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 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.

This is a wonderful hotel a short walk from Termini station.

This hotel is located near Termini Station and lots of restaurants.

most comfortable stay in ROME near Termini station - also walk able from all major sites.

I had no problem walking with my roller bag from the station to the hotel.

It is located close to termini station which is the airport train as well as the intersection of the two metro lines.

The hotel is in a pretty good location, the metro station Cavour is just down the road and there are lots of restaurants and shops nearby.

Hotel Raffaello is located in a historical building on a quiet street street with easy access to many of Rome’s main attractions, as well as the rail station.

The hotel is well positioned - 10 minutes from Termini Station and key city centre attractions with a handy mini supermarket very close by.

Termini station is a 10 minute walk the other direction.

You can walk easily to many places, and the Cavour Metro station is just three short blocks away.

We chose Rafaello because of its proximity to the Termini Station.

The term station is only a 10-minute walk away.

If you aren't into walking, it is really close to TWO metro stations on two different lines AND within walking distance to the Roma Termini train station!

The location is good for walking to the majority of places, near to 2 Metro stations on different lines as well.

The location is super close to termini station which was fab for us to get to the airport by train or bus.

While it is walkable from Termini station, it is a bit of a distance when you have luggage and such in tow.

It’s a 10-15 walk from termini train station.

but also made use of the hop on hop off buses starting from the main Termini train station which was about 10-15 minutes walk away.

10-15 minutes from main to train station (important pulling carryon luggage) and Metro.

The location was very convenient for train station and the major sights, many good small restaurants in the area, not too crowded or touristy.

I chose this hotel for the location (near the Rome Termini; main train station), price for the advertised offerings, and because of the standards required to have the Best Western brand association.
