Optimum location in immediate proximity to all the shopping & venues we wanted to see. Staff were superb. Looking forward to our next visit & will definitely stay at the Raffaello again

I would highly recommend this hotel to all my friends. It feels brand new, impeccably appointed, superbly located for sightseeing, shopping and walking around. I have never been happier with the our price/hotel selection. P.S. Even the mini-bar was competitevely priced.

Great Room!

A big 2-room suite that was very well furnished and comfortable. It is a great location within walking distance to the John Hancock building and the Water Tower/pumping station which is where you get tour buses and can buy tickets to events. A minor complaint would be that you had to pay to use the computers in the business center. Also, I would have liked a free continental breakfast for the price of the room. They offer a $15 breakfast off the lobby, but I can't comment on the quality of the food since we chose not to pay that amount.

Interesting...hmmmm...Interesting

This hotel is a very nice boutique hotel. The rooms are very nice with amenities like rain shower, LCD tv (although not one HD channel and the signal was fairly weak), robes, slippers, etc. Check-in was smooth and easy. The lobby is small and there is only one host on duty at all times. I didn't understand why there were 4 doormen and one desk attendant. The concierge was nowhere to be found. My daughter thought the hotel was haunted. If you are looking for intimate and quiet then this is the place for you. There is no restaurant or pool or much of anything to do outside your room. Basically, this is a nice hotel right off Mich Ave that you can stay to come and go from the retail shops. The hotel looks like they bought all the furniture from Ikea. This isn't bad as that furniture can be extremely stylish yet functional. Put Ikea next to Snaidero and good luck telling them apart. Thing is, why not put the bulk of the money into an extremely comfortable bed? I don't get it. The bed is the most important thing! Raffaello sure missed the boat in the bed department. Overall I liked it. I probably won't stay again considering other comparative options that will get you much greater comfort and expanded amenities for the money (I paid $*** for my family of four).
