Donatello Rooms Aldgate

We were there for 3 nights and on the first day on the evening we recognized that I didn’t get warmer in the room and checked the window. the handle was broken and lying next to the window on the floor. We called the owners and they said the handyman can come only tomorrow not today. So it was clear the first night will get cold to sleep. They told us that they will update us if the handyman was there. In the early afternoon I called again because no answer and update. they said he will come and she will keep me updated. Then there came at 5pm just a text message that the handyman had an important issue and will again not be able to fix it today. It was not possible to answer the this text message. They didn’t fixed the window during 4 days of stay, which is in my eyes not acceptable with this temperature outside to sleep with an open window. The communication was a bad joke. Also the room was a lot smaller that it seemed in the pictures and it was dust on the furniture. In the last night there was a fight between other guest from the room on the other side of the corridor. It was really frightening and I thought they would get into our room. there was no police and nobody who could get to clear this situation. it was almost impossible to sleep this night. we hardly don’t recommend this apartment to any kind of travelers!

Room clean and adequately furnished. Was Noisy until late as it was right above a Turkish restaurant. The room was tidied each day but no towel change although they were folded and placed back on the bed damp.

This is not an hotel as such; more like rooms to let. No reception but staff respond quickly to telephone and solve problems very quickly. They are friendly. This Donatello is in Aldgate and next to main road with lots of bud service. Steep set of stairs to reach rooms. The rooms seem to have been modernised recently and are very clean. The only thing of concern is that they use flat pack furniture in the room and it is wobbly and falls apart quite easily as what happened with the desk in my room. No air conditioning if you are booked in on really hot days. Open window. Good radiant heating. Separate bathroom with very small shower. Bathroom is nicely finished but it is juggling they seem to have rushed the finish with 4he seals on the shower door falling off.. go cheap and ruin a nice job. Be careful when turning around in shower you can knock against the tap and accidentally switch the water to scorching. They provide a kettle, tea, coffee and 4 little milks. Plenty of restaurants around as well as Tesco and Sainsbury expresses. They should put anti tip mechanism on wardrobe. Overall, I think good value for 💰.

Computer stolen, airpods stolen .... No contact with owner very very bad ´italian hotel´ (owners are from italy)

Very good value for money

Great value

(Translated by Google) The room I was given was very dirty and the size of a closet, with a bunk bed. The private bathroom had the shower tray broken in two pieces and fixed with moldy silicone. The water from the shower came out either hot or cold. Unfortunately the structure has no reception, for every problem you need to call or send an email so in case of problems like the one described above there is no immediate solution. I recommend the structure. The area is a 5-minute walk from Liverpool St. station, but the neighborhood is very poor and dirty, although it is not dangerous in the evening it is not pleasant to walk along the street.

La camera che mi è stata assegnata era molto sporca e di dimensione di uno sgabuzzino, con un letto a castello. Il bagno privato aveva il piatto doccia rotto in due pezzi e aggiustato con del silicone ammuffito. L'acqua della doccia usciva o bollente o gelida. Purtroppo la struttura è sprovvista di reception, per ogni problema occorre chiamare o mandare una mail quindi in caso di problemi tipo quello sopra descritto non c'è soluzione immediata. Sconsiglio la struttura. La zona è a 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Liverpool St. ma il quartiere è molto povero e sporco, pur non essendo pericoloso la sera non è piacevole camminare lungo la via.

Bad area and poor room condition.
A nauseating smell coming from the bathroom and sink that didn't drain.
Curtains bordering on transparent and great noise from the street.
Staff not very helpful.

La struttura era in generale scarsa.
Brutta zona e povere condizioni della stanza.
Un odore e nauseabondo proveniente dal bagno e lavandino che non scaricava.
Tende al limite del trasparente e grande rumore dalla strada.
Personale poco disponibile.
