Hotel Raffaello Spinea

Review by hotel critic

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Raffaello in Venice, and it turned out to be a delightful escape. As someone who values both comfort and connection in travel, I was impressed by the warm, family-run atmosphere and the professionalism of the staff, who were friendly and proactive throughout my stay. The room I stayed in was spacious and meticulously clean, perfect for a solo traveler like myself who appreciates a touch of tranquility after long days of exploration. I also adored the buffet breakfast — a lovely spread of cereals, pastries, and fresh coffee that kick-started my days. While the hotel is a bit outside the bustling city center, the convenience of the frequent bus service made the charming streets of Venice easily accessible. To top it off, the free parking was a fantastic perk, especially given the challenges of traveling with a car in Italy. I left Hotel Raffaello feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the genuine warmth that permeates this lovely hotel.
