Aldrovandi Villa Borghese

All staff were fantastic and made our stay that extra special. We really enjoyed early evening drinks at the bar with exceptional service and surprise canapé offerings that arrived from the kitchen. We had dinner in the American Grill, which was superb and highly recommended.

Service, Personal, Frühstück 5 Sterne !! Top Gratis Shuttle ins Zentrum, super Betten und saubere Zimmer !! It’s perfect !! The team is top notch!!

Located adjacent to Villa Borghese (Rome's largest and most beautiful--in my opinion--park), the Aldrovandi is not in the city center, which means it is in a quiet, not crowded neighborhood. Also, it is very close to the Galeria Borghese and the National Museum of Modern Art, both worth visiting (and both not as crowded as other, main-attraction museums. A lovely 15-20-minute walk through the park and past Harry's Bar brings you to the Piazza di Spagna. Also, the hotel offers a free shuttle to and from a meeting point that is close to the Spanish Steps. A taxi from the area at top of the Spanish Steps costs about 7 euros. There is a lovely bar and restaurant on site (two restaurants during high season), which are open all day and evening, a spa, fitness center, and a well-appointed, comfortable lobby featuring a baby grand if you feel inclined to play a tune. The rooms are comfortable, and everything gleams and is spotless. Amenities include high-quality lotion and shampoo, robes, slippers, and even a polishing nail file. One of the best features of this hotel is its excellent concierge service. We were attended to by a gentleman named Mario, who arranged on-site massage, tickets to the more crowded attractions (the Vatican, Colosseum, etc.), car service to/from the airport and the train station. He was, helpful, kind, professional, friendly, and accurate. The staff were, to a one, attentive and professional. The buffet breakfast at this hotel is well worth the price--everything is replenished so that if you arrive later you will still have a choice of the best items. They offer a variety of baked goods (breads, croissants, rolls, pastries, donuts), cereals, assorted nondairy milks, fresh fruits, deli meats and smoked salmon, Italian cheeses, eggs and sausage and bacon, crepes and pancakes, juices, and even fixing for mimosas. There is also an a la carte menu. During the warmer seasons, an outdoor pool is available in the hotel's lovely garden.

We traveled end January-early February, and thus the only issue we had is that the room was very, very warm (26-27 C!). Opening the window was not possible because of mosquitos (even in winter!), but a fan solved the problem.

Great location - we wanted to be a little bit out of the hassle

All good

Excellent hotel with great staff - if you need quiet ask for internal room - the ones heading the road are very noisy
