“decent hotel”

Stayed in Raffaello on a short break with my wife at beginning of November. Hotel is easily accessible being a short walk from I P Pavlova tube station.This is in the New Town district which is in walking distance or short tube/tram ride to most places of interest in the Old Town. It is on a street with very heavy and noisy traffic. we were on the 4th floor above the street which was fine for outlook but a bit noisy. The room was clean and quite spacious with an excellent en suite, bath with shower attachment instead of shower cubicle.Bed wad actually 2 single beds together but perfectly comfortable. It is a smallish hotel part of a chain of around 5 hotels in Prague.Reception is staffed 24 hrs and staff are helpful.There is no restaurant so buffet breakfast is fairly basic but we found it to be adequate. Not a plush establishment but it would be fussy to find fault as everything was as advertised. On the whole I would say that the Raffaello is a pretty good hotel for price paid.

“Praguealicious”

The hotel was in a great location. Our arrival was late but once we checked into the hotel we took a walk to get something to eat. We found a great restaurant only two blocks from the hotel that had a great and very filling filet mignon. We were in the city for three days and got a guide to show us around, little did we realize how close the hotel is to the proximity of the Old Town, New Town, etc. This was a great experience and we recommend that everyone see Prague!

“Unless you're on a budget find a better hotel”

The only nice thing to say about this hotel is that the bathroom was decently clean. That's about it. The staff was friendly but the room was not very very tidy. There were spots on the bed covers, the sofa was dusty and the room look nothing like the pictures on the web.

“Great Hotel”

Great Hotel,very clean andtidy and the staff are very helpfull,ideal for getting to the city centre ,catch tram 22 and 10 mins later you in the centre,lots of bars and restaurants in the area

“Average”

Despite the hotel and the local tourist information indicating that the hotel was close to Wenceslas Square, it was actually half a mile or more away, and uphill from the Square. The hotel was well maintained and clean, and the staff were freindly and all spoke English. The buffet breakfast was generally okay, but one morning the sausages (actually hot dog type as in so many similar hotels) as wellas the scrambled eggs were cold. There was no aircon in the rooms, and we got a twin room despite booking a double. But the big issue was the fact that the passing traffic caused the room to shake and the wardrobe and in room safe to rattle loudly at regular intervals. If it hadn't been for the fact that we were dog tired every night, this would have been really annoying. All in all a reasonable accommodation spoiled by the above niggles.

“At best, 2-Stars by US standards.”

Room very dirty. Carpet is black around the edges. Old gum deposits on carpet. Would guess the carpet hasn't been replaced since it open. Window curtains also smokey colored. No air conditioning... so do not stay here during the summer. Rooms by the street are very noisy... good luck sleeping. One iron for the entire hotel. Front desk doesn't record who checks out the iron, so there is no way of getting it back. Front desk also called the wrong restaurant to make my dinner reservations. I did not find this out until I got to the restaurant and was told the restaurant was closed that day. Tub has no shower curtain... water will end up all over the floor. Elevators located in between floors... so you still have to take stairs no matter what floor you're on. Front desk had no city maps when I checked in. It's rated as a 4-star hotel, but this would be equivalent to a 2-star hotel in the US at best. But even 2-star US hotels have irons in each room.

“Good subway connection”

We stayed two nights before flying out of Madrid airport. We spend one day in Madrid downtown that was very comfortably accessible via the great subway system. The rooms were a little more modern than my taste, but well put together. We also got a baby bed for our 11 month old. Finally the restaurant is also pretty good, although the room service is terribly overpriced.

“Practical Choice”

We went to Prague with family. Breakfast was decent to start the day off...a 10 minute walk from Wensclas Square.....metro stop 1 block away.....Overall a good choice.

“Good Location”

Very pleased with the Hotel, only minor complaint is our room was very warm and as it was on a busy main road it was too noisy to have the window open, best to request a room that is not on the front of the Hotel.
