Hotel Raphael – Relais & Châteaux    

On arrival we found we had been upgraded to a suite,with a bottle of champagne and fresh fruit waiting for us in the room.It was a pleasure to come back to our suite after a busy and hot day seeing the sights of Rome.The air con was so quite you could have it on all night.The automatic beds and pillows were so comfy.The breakfast was superb.Every imaginable fresh fruit was available together with a wide variety of other hot and cold dishes.

Do not be put off by the outside of the hotel which is on a small back street.

everything in this hotel was as we expected wonderful!

there was nothing we didnt like!

Great ambiance.Lovely luxurious feel. Great location -close to Vatican City and just behind Piazza Navona.

Only stayed one night but there was'nt anything about the hotel that I did'nt like.

Very central to all areas that we wanted to go too. Extremely clean, rooms checked twice a day. 2 bathrooms Free wine and water on arrival.

Bed was extremely uncomfortable,only thing I did not like.

Location was great. Julian and Steven helped us to make our rooftop birthday party memorable. The food was incredible. Thank you!

Very friendly and very helpful staff. Service was excellent. Breakfast was extraordinary good. Room furniture was nice (but not worth the price, see neighbouring box.)

We had a Richard Meier Executive Room. From an executive de luxe room for which you pay more then 450 euro per night, I really expected considerably more space. Bathroom was fine and nice, but the room itself was way too tiny and narrow to deserve this executive label and this sort of price. It was space for the big double bed, and hardly anything more. It turned out that the word executive reflected the modern room design only. If I had known this, I'd rather have a bigger classic room for a much lower price. This room was not worth the price by a long way. Added to this: Better noise reducing windows should have been installed in a room like this. And I did expect a considerable wider range of satellite tv channels.

Everything! Friendly staff!

The classic room at the first floor!

Perfectly located right in the centre of Rome and within walking distance to all the major site seeing locations. It's proximity to Piazza Navona is ideal and only a stones throw away. The rooms are fairly modern but we felt they lacked a certain personal touch. The beds were extremely comfy and the bathrooms were well designed. Overall a really nice hotel in a great location.

The rooftop restaurant is perfect for views of Rome but the limited vegetarian menu was very expensive and disappointing.

The beds were the most comfortable I've slept in. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of food. Easy free computer. Wonderful roof-top terrace. The service from the front desk was excellent.

Room was a tad small.

An amazing hotel. The staff are brilliant, the location perfect and the rooms fantastic. Another great experience was dinner at their restaurant. Overlooking the rooves of the neighbourhood, eating a great dinner while the sun went down was the topping on the cake.

Their staff are absolutely superb! The room was great, and the location is even better.

Nothing

Beautiful hotel lobby and rooms. Breakfast buffet very complete, nicely displayed, large number of choices, buffet staff friendly, helpful and accommodating. Could also order off menu. Location was excellent for restaurants and sightseeing.

Housekeeping not thorough in cleaning nor in leaving correct number of towels. Lack of toilet paper. Ac vents rattled constantly...disturbing sleep. Toilet bowl leaking water on floor. In general, beautiful lux room with shoddy maintenance. Balcony terrace and furniture had seagull droppings as well as cigarette butts from previous guests.

Great location. All tourist sites within walking distance. Friendly and helpfull staff. Good service. Quiet and peacful in spite of a very central location.

Convenient for the atmospheric Navona Piazza and surrounding narrow and interesting streets. Easily walkable to many sights.

Dining room rather small for breakfast. Too warm.

Location; its attractiveness; superb breakfasts.

We couldn't recommend this hotel more highly. Excellent friendly service and welcome for guests. We particularly appreciated the excellent terrace restaurant and bar where we ate three times because of the ambience. Rooms were very comfortable with hi-tech bathroom/shower fittings much appreciated by my wife.

The location Staff very helpful

No complementary bottle water Turndown service appeared to operate at about 5.30pm (too early)

Staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Breakfast buffet was superb. Wait staff at rooftop cafe was wonderful as was the food.

Television's cable connection was weak , and therefore the screen was green.

Location of The hotel

Poor room service and The restaurant facilities

The location is suberb, you can't find a more perfect location in Rome. The selection and quality of the breakfast was also far better than normal in Italy.

Well, we don't like old designed hotels, but in the heart of The old city of Rome there is no alternatives. We hope the hotel will reinvent itself and become modern with a good service with a normal behavior. We can open doors ourselves and don't need a funny dressed man openong it every time. The manangement would instead consider to invest in a up-to-date booking and administration system, so the bills will be correct and the rooms are availble on arrival. They have lot of works to do instead of beeing frozen in time. They will survive because their location, and just for that we may return another day.

The staff were excellent and the rooms were extremely comfortable breakfast was excellent

Was advertised with terrace and bar not opened. Ordered drinks no where to sit and enjoy them had to sit in corridor by the stairs and toilets. The main reason for choosing hotel was for roof bar it looked like it had not been used for years very disappointed with that.

Bed was fantastic; restaurant staff were great ; location was superb easy to reach anywhere on foot ; room size large ; fantastic views over Rome from rooftop terrace;

Free water in bedroom would be nice and v low cost. No "proper" tea available one morning for breakfast

good location,very kind staff, I hope they well keep the level , sure I'll go back

Excelent location, few meters from Piazza Navona, but at the same time very quite. We have received better room than ordered, super breakfast. The best hotel we have ever stayed in Roma.

Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. location ideal for visiting Rome sights. Room was perfect with everything one could want. Would certainly stay there again when next in Rome
