11/13 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Aldrovandi Palace Hotel from 25.01.06 - 27.01.06.

On the first morning at around 8am (!) they started renovation of the bathroom ceiling right next door to our room.

When I called the front desk someone showed up and explained that "a guest is taking a shower next door in the bathroom" while you could hear the hammering and sawing !?!

He refused to do anything about the noise as it was a "guest". After breakfast - there was no sleeping any longer possible - we noticed through the open door next to our room that two handymen were fixing and renovating the ceiling of the bathroom.
We found this "service- and guest oriented" behaviour unacceptable.

The next day I found some appliances the handymen must have used for renovating the bathroom wrapped around my toothbrush in our bathroom - an extra "joke" by the hotel.

Forget the breakfast as for 29,- Euro any 3 star hotel can do much better and coffee would probably be hotter and the orange juice be fresher.

A strong non-recommendation !

Management response from Annamaria Calise, General Manager

Dear TripAdvisor Member from Netherlands,

I have carefully read your e-mail and please let me express my deepest regret for what happened to you during your stay in Rome.

On behalf of the Aldrovandi Palace, please accept my sincere apologies for this inconvenience and for the terrible behaviour of our staff. I totally agree with you, this is really unacceptable.

I am in this company for a long time and something like this fortunately never happened. Mantainance works are certainly important, but more important is the relax of our guests.

I am personally acting along with our Executive Manager and taking measures to prevent it to happen in future. Please be really assured that a complaint of its kind will be absolutely avoided in the future.

Best Regards,

Annamaria Calise
General Manager

If you are unlucky enough to be given an odd numbered room on the lower floors, then you're likely to have the pleasure of being waken up by the trams that run just 5 metres outside the main entrance of the hotel at 5 minute intervals from day break. To make the experience even more pleasant, the trams drivers seem to have the habit of ringing their bells leading up to the tram stop close to the hotel.

The rooms were pleasant and the bed comfortable. There is a workable desk although the broadband connection (which apparently should be available) was missing. The bathroom was the highlight and was very good by Roman standards.

Without being overly helpful the staff were certainly not rude.

The hotel itself was a little out of the way and it always seem to take a while to get a taxi.

Gent.mo Signor Alex Villa

La ringraziamo per i Suoi commenti!

Sono lieto di informarLa che a Maggio del 2008, in concomitanza con il Suo soggiorno, abbiamo dato inizio ad un progetto di ristrutturazione che ha riguardato ben 58 delle nostre 108 camere, che sono state ampliate in alcuni casi anche fino al 50% rispetto alla metratura precedente.

I nostri architetti ne hanno curato il design e le raffinate rifiniture, arricchendole con elementi di tecnologia avanzata e televisori di ultima generazione Bang & Olufsen.

Torni a trovarci non appena potrà e mi contatti personalmente, faremo tutto il possibile per assegnarle una camera di tipologia DeLuxe e rendere unico il Suo soggiorno all’Aldrovandi Palace Villa Borghese.

Cordialmente

Massimo Mainella
Executive Director
