What guests think

Across recent reviews, Rafael Residence Boutique is praised for its convenient Baka location and helpful, friendly staff, with many guests appreciating apartment-style layouts and on-site parking, though some report patchy Wi-Fi.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with several noting very clean spaces while others mentioned dirty kitchens or musty towels. Rooms vary in size and condition; guests like the kitchenettes and living areas, while some mention aging fixtures and occasional TV problems. Overall, expect a comfortable, self-catering base in a great neighborhood rather than a full-service hotel.

We liked the location, the manager was responsive and changed our room after we weren't happy with the WIFI connection, though it didn't help much. We also received free breakfast for 2 mornings which helped us a bit with our experience. we hae a free parking place though no lights in the parking lot! We didn't like that this property didn't have a good Wi-Fi connection and the kids always complained. though one of the rooms was a safe room. \ the rooms were not clean. and the kitchen was very dirty and we needed to clean it by our self because the cleaners were always in a different building and busy.... you better spend your money in a different place.

We rented a 1-bedroom unit. The LR/DR was smaller than expected. Also no paper towels, tissues or dish soap. Washer/dryer was in the basement and coin operated; but there were nearby laundries with quick turn around

The location is fantastic! We had a garden suite which was lovely. However, the wifi was terrible. Kept going out and only worked, if at all, in the living room, not in the garden, bedroom or bathroom. We have stayed here many time over the past 10 years and they could use some updating. The bathroom needs renovation. There is a mini-tub, which cannot be used as a tub, and should be renovated as a new shower. There is the same rug in the living room for the past 10 years.
