Hotel Tempio DI Pallade

The staff were brilliant - super friendly, helpful and attentive. They were always willing to help us with any questions/problems we had. Our stay was cheap and cheerful, didn't hear too much from the surroundings/other people staying. Rooms/beds were cleaned everyday and it was very close to the Termini Stazione (Terminal station - Rome). The security was good and there were cameras and safety procedures put in place to prevent break-ins/robbing. Restaurants/bars and public transport were available and nearby and the Colosseum was only a few stops away on the tram/bus! Air-conditioning was decent (and needed!) - have to call reception to change the temperature if it gets too hot or cold.

Upon arrival it seems the rooms weren't completely hoovered, so there was some debris on the floor. The beds were pretty hard but this could either be a good or a bad thing depending on how you like your bed "firmness" - good for me but bad for my friend! Could have done with a few more pillows/larger pillows. The shower tended to overflow onto the bathroom floor so we had to use our towels to soak it up. The room is very basic but definitely livable - note there is no fridge/cutlery or mugs. But there was a vending machine and coffee/water facilities in reception. IMPORTANT - We were silly and didn't do our research - although the hotel was pleasant enough and safe, the area surrounding most certainly was not. There was a lot of rubbish/glass on the streets, construction work/dodgy buildings and many (very) dangerous/suspicious characters if you walk towards the station at night, we learnt our lesson not to walk that way past a certain time!

Clean and the staff courteous and professional
