Raffaello Hotel

Great location

Great location. Most of the staff friendly. Avoid staying on the second floor as it has an opening to the lobby which can get noisy. Restaurant is good, a little pricey. Rooms are nice, no great views to speak of and the bathrooms are quite small. Bed is very comfy. Self-park across the street is very reasonable ($23.00). Inquire about the self-park.

Not as good as last time

I stayed here 18 mos. ago and thought it was great then but it has not been maintained.

Great old hotel

Great value near the Magnificent Mile -- older hotel refurbished with nice touches. I enjoyed the two-room suite with plenty of space both to work and to relax.

Great Hotel, but....

We booked this hotel based on reviews and the area. It's suppose to be a 4 star hotel. When we booked the rooms, we were suppose to get a free upgrade to a suite. When we checked in, we only got one out of four rooms upgraded. In addition one of the king rooms booked turned out to be a small double only. Overall the hotel was nice, very small but pretty clean. The decor in the rooms were very nice but small maintenace problems persisted such as chipped tiles in the shower that I scraped my foot on, not very many amenities and a tiny cramped elevator. I liked the hotel though and would stay there again.

Amazing hotel

Boutique style, big room, amazing shower, vanity/pantry area, great location.Only downside is lack of room service except for breakfast. Highly recommend

nice hotel - a few surprises

Surprised about the charge for internet use...I don't pay for internet at hwy motels...Parking arrangement was interesting - had to make a return trip to the car to find attendants don't lock cars, just rely on site security. Otherwise stay was nice. Would stay again.

Fabulous!

This is the best value in Chicago!!! It is a gorgeous hotel with a nice balance of old world architecture and modern decor. I have already recommended it to lots of people. You can't beat the location; a block and a half to Michegan Ave and just a few blocks to the lake!

Small room, but very comfortable

This hotel room was smaller than others I have stayed in, but was very comfortable, clean, and modern.

Great Room, Great Price!

We needed to make this trip at the last minute and I booked the night before we left. I was sure it wouldn't be as nice as the pictures looked but I was wrong! It was quiet, spacious and convenient and far more plush than we needed, but I couldn't even feel guilty because we got such a great price. I would definitely recommend the Raffaello and will definitely book here in the future.

Outstanding Hotel

I was greatly impressed with the quality, room size and location of the hotel. I will definitely stay here again.

An absolute steal!

Love, love, love it!!! I was very pleased with the location...one block from Michigan Avenue and a few blocks from Lake Michigan. An entire non-smoking building helped too. Would recommend it without reservation.

Fantastic Hotel

This hotel was amazing in every way. The day time door man was great too!

Perfect Location for Business or Pleasure

Beautiful hotel, definitely 4 Star / did not disappoint! 1 block from Water Tower and all Michigan Avenue shopping. So much for luxury than a chain hotel ... elegant, charming, quaint, attentive to guests, etc. This is my new hotel choice in the city - what a find (and I lived in Chicago for 3 years and never knew it existed).
