Értékelések Hotel Raffaello ****

The Raffaello was initially impressive, clean, modern, right next to the tube, reasonably priced, good breakfast (on the first morning) etc.However on the second morning, the water stopped working, hoping this would be sorted out we left for the day, on returning in the evening the water was running a brown colour. This was still the case the next day by which time we were well in need of wash! The reception staff claimed there was nothing they could do as there was watermains maintainence work being carried out outside, and took a very defensive stance, when asked what water was being used for the coffee at breakfast and what were the dishes being washed in the receptionsist had no reply. I opted for a bowl of cereal for breakfast - an the milk was had gone sour!! Pretty Poor standard really

First impressions weren't good,the photo of the hotel must have been taken a good while ago. On entering the hotel and going into the reception area i was again most underwhelmed.However the room,though pretty basic ,was warm and clean.The breakfast was decent;cereal,cold meat and cheese and hot(ish) sausage,fried eggs and beans all done buffet style.

The hotel is in an excellent position for getting to all the main tourist spots,5-10 minutes to the square,1 minute to the tram stop.

The reception staff spoke excellent english and were very helpful for recommending places to visit and the best way to get around.

Overall i would say that for the price this is as good as it gets.If you need somewhere to base yourself whilst enjoying a wonderful city,this is the place.If you want posh,pay a lot more
