Casa Raffaello

The room was clean and the staffs were nice. However, the hotel is located in a very loud area. I could hear music pounding until late and it was very hard to sleep. Also I got bit hard by bed bugs during my stay there. I think the hotel should treat the bed bugs to prevent it from affecting more customers

Clean room, lack of air conditioning.

Lovely and nice staff, clean rooms, and location. Water pressure is decent, and the rooms are soo spacious.

Creo que en general estuvo bien pero necesitan mejorar la calidad de las almohadas, las mias se notaban que estaban viejas... y eso da mal aspecto... el internet me fayó en mi habitación, la puerta del baño estaba en mal estado. Son cosas que pueden mejorar pero en general me agrado la zona a pesar del ruido pero ya sabia que iba a estar asi por la zona.

I love the location and the excellent receptionist. The only thing missing is air conditioner/heater.

A little bad smell in the bathroom

Great location, friendly and unobtrusive staff, especially the female security guard. Room was clean and bright. Great shower and bathroom. Beds were SUPER comfy and linens were spotless. Despite location on busy street, it was quiet at night. A fan was provided but I Would have liked to have had AC. Also suggest providing a source for potable water in each floor— two small bottles were in the room at check-in but never replaced. All in all would definitely stay here again, good value for price.

The room is nice and clean. The problem with this unit is the building. Is a 4 floor apartment and not elevator. The high room number you get the highest floor you gonna go up. Plus no AC in room and the only fan is speed broken. Just make sure you know the details before you ge it.

Muy agradable el lugar y buena localización, solo que es difícil contactarlos pero ameno

I had a great stay

The room did not match the description. It was an inside room, with only one window to the stairs. No ventilation at all, only a fan. The room was super dark, forced you to have the lights on. Since it’s an inside room, the room was extremely hot. Additionally, there is not a 24 hours front desk as advertised, only a security guard. The door bell did not work and it took about 25 minutes to the guard to open the door during the night time, even if you could see her, she did not listen the door bell. Lastly, it gives a very bad impression to look at the security guard sleeping overnight, on the floor by the entrance under the stairs.

It's super basic but good

El inconveniente es que son muchas escaleras para las habitaciones y no se cuenta con elevador

It is a very simple and well-designed hotel. I was looking forward to coming back to our room. When i stayed. There are restaurants store and cafes around, which is convenient. The staff was also kind. I want to stay again

Staff was extremely helpful

Great stay

Casa Raffaello is located in the heart of Zona Rosa within walking distance to excellent restaurants, bars, stores, and anything you may need to enjoy Mexico City; the hotel itself has an excellent Italian restaurant.

I've stayed at this property 3 times and overall it is an excellent value. It is a very basic hotel with no amenities like a pool or gym, but in a great location--Zona Rose, the gay district. (But welcoming to families and straight folks too.)The rooms are super clean, the staff super helpful and friendly, and the beds are comfortable. But I recommend you choose your room carefully, as they vary quite a bit. Room 6 is spacious with a lovely, big balcony made private by tall grasses. Room 5 is similar, but significantly smaller, but also with a nice balcony below a huge ficas tree which makes you feel you're in a tree house. Both rooms lack ventilation, except when the balcony door is open so can be stuffy when you return to your room. Room 4 is very spacious but has no windows--sort of a basement feel. So, if you're claustraphobic this isn't the room for you. However, it is the most spacious of the 3 and the bed is especially comfortable. None of the rooms have good lighting (although those with balconies have great natural light.) No AC in any of the rooms, which is usually not a problem in DF, but summers are getting hotter so could be uncomfortable at the height of the summer. A small fan is provided in all rooms, as are water bottles. Good choice for a basic, bare-bones hotel in a fantastic location, with tons of cafes and bars. Despite this, all 3 rooms were VERY quiet, even the ones (rooms 5 & 6) facing the street. They also have black out shades which is nice.

Casa Rafaella was a great find.We travel to DF several times a year. Used to rent short-term apartments from that well-known site, but that has gotten more expensive as cities require VAT & other taxes. So we frequently book hotels instead, as we have found that we spend very little time in our accommodation, and don't need a kitchen to cook because we like to try all the wonderful restaurants and cafes. Casa Rafaella appears relatively new and is adjacent to the Italian restaurant, Rafaella. It is a basic, bare-bones hotel, with no amenities like a gym or pool, but is nicely designed and very pleasant.The pros: easy check-in with doorman (no reception desk) who is present 24/7. Keypad entry to room. Staff is friendly and efficient. Room was very clean. Bed is comfortable. The location is ideal, in a lively street in Zona Rosa, which is the gay neighborhood, but welcoming to straight folks, families, etc., and very convenient for getting to Roma Norte, Juarez, Condesa, and Centro. Lots of natural light. Our street-facing room VERY quiet (extremely rare in budget hotels) even though the hotel is on a very lively street. Blackout shades.Tons of cafes, bars & shops. Cons: no ventilation other than balcony door so room can get stuffy No AC only a small fan--ok for most of the year. Lighting very poor--impossible to put on make-up at night or read in bed. Some rooms are very small. BUT, an excellent value for the price. One of the most pleasant hotels we have stayed in in DF.

I checked in and there was a guy that was like your gate guard you are not allowed guest or allowed to eat in your room. There is no safe for your valuables and if you like showers like I do this is not for you the shower is more like a mist spray it was so bad that I had to rent a different hotel because I was not able to shower there. I highly recommend hotel plaza Florencia the rooms are bigger and water pressure is awesome and housekeeping is amazing. So do yourself a favor and don’t use casa rafealla save your money and go to hotel of it’s better rates and service and it’s right around the corner with and amazing coffee shop
