Raphael Rooms

Room was well equipped and comfortable. Shower was excellent. Instructions etc for check in/out were clear and precise.

Only one issue, the position of the room at an extremely busy junction meant there was a higher level of traffic noise than I would have liked.

The location of the apartment was amazing - conveniently near the Vatican museum. Metro station was also really near and bus station was almost right in front of the building. Breakfast was really pleasant - everything was fresh and the staff were lovely. Check in went smoothly and the owners were really helpful and kind.

very close to the metro, the vatican, restaurants and grocery. very adequate for resting at night after a whole day walking tour around rome. the owner/admin of the apartment seems very nice and communicates constantly via email

the apartment is on the second floor and our room faces the streets so you could hear the street noise especially at night when you are trying to sleep exhausted from walking the whole day. Also the shower is a bit small for us, i am only 5'6 imagine a taller and a chubby person might not be able to comfortably fit in the shower.

The location is great and walking distance to the Vatican and lots of nearby restaurants. Their self check-in system works well, and the ability to store your luggage is very helpful.

I hate to leave negative reviews, but I hope this is helpful for someone else. The room is simple and I knew that in advance, so no complaints on that, but it’s SO loud. I can sleep through noise, but even for me this room was a challenge. There’s noise from the street, AND noise from a very loud and annoying AC. The shower is tiny (not uncommon in Italy), and the hot water heats really quickly and literally burned my skin. Luckily I only spent 1 day and it worked as a bed to sleep for a night, but I honestly wouldn’t spend any longer. I spent my other nights at a hotel across the street and the experience there was way better for virtually the same price.
