Aldrovandi Residence City Suites

We chose this hotel because of the swimming pool as we were travelling with 3 teenage boys. It was a godsend. Our apartment was right by the swimming pool which was perfect for us. The only problem with the pool was that it opened at 10.30 which wasn’t early enough in my opinion. There is a well stocked bar and you can get snacks such as sandwiches, toasties (I can’t comment on the food as we ate our lunch in our apartment). The staff were lovely and friendly. There were enough sunbeds also and you are given a towel for the pool. Our room was clean and lovely and cool. One guest said she thought it was slightly dated but we saw that as a bit of charm. You can get taxis pretty easily from the hotel, we walked to the sights but chose a taxi back. I have to say we felt totally safe in the hotel. We didn’t need the lift but this may have been an issue if we did. Each sight is around 30 mins from the hotel by foot. I would definitely stay in the hotel again simply for the swimming pool as in the heat of summer and a lot of sightseeing we found the pool invaluable especially for your family. Breakfast was enough for us .. fresh croissants and fruit (watermelon is a must for the kids) again, one thing that would make this better would perhaps be to be able to eat outside as as Brits we don’t get much chance to do this. All round lovely time. Be prepared to walk lots as your not directly in the city, but worth it for the pool.
