Ca Raffaele Vacation Rentals

"The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were a little strangely configured but decent enough. Our only complaint is the shower was not clean. Mold and buildup. Neither one of us opted to use it. Breakfast was absolutely sufficient. Parking was right across the street so very convenient. "

"At the top of the San Marino mountain. Excellent views and very pleasant staff! Glad we stayed there!"

"Location is everything, walking up the street pulling my bag was a struggle but totally worth it because you are in the middle of everything!! Staff is super helpful "

"Everything worked flawlessly, including the parking system they have, zero issues recommended!"

"Room very clean, hotel as well. Staff excellent. It was an unexpected stop and we have no regrets at all.. excellent! "

"Check in is done at the Hotel Joli, 100m up the road, but you can park on the road outside for up to an hour. They do have gated parking available for €12/day, conveniently located at the rear entrance to the hotel. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with a great view. Bathroom was compact but had everything you need and the shower was great. Breakfast was served at the Hotel Joli, and was pretty tasty, cappuccino prepared on request, fresh croissants, thoroughly enjoyable."

"Amazing view. Comfy room. Very close to old town. Great breakfast. Convenient private parking near hotel"

"Gorgeous view from the deck. Breakfast is generally great, if there are more fresh veggies. "

"On arrival the hostel looks run down, nothing like the photos, the parking area feels very unsafe. Then you have to walk through an abandoned night club to get to the lift. When I got to reception no one was there, rang the bell 3 times and waited nearly 30mins until the lady arrived to check me in. By this point I had been stood feeling very uncomfortable and decided to leave and not stay here. It did not feel safe at all. I've stayed in many hostels all over the world and never felt this uncomfortable. They also charge for linen which is not listed on expedia, or let people bring their own which is a breeding ground for bedbugs.... Once checking other sites for reviews I realised I had made a mistake. They also won't refund for any reason. Its clear the owner doesnt care about the presentation of the hostel, the atmosphere (zero atmosphere) or the customer service. Being the only hostel in San Marino people are left with limited choices. If solo travelling i wouldn't reccommend this hostel, if not alone then maybe it would be ok, but don't expect an atmosphere. If you have a car go elsewhere back to Italy, where you can get a hotel room for just a bit more, and a bit of a drive. "
