Reviews of Hotel Tempio di Apollo 2 stars

I don’t understand why there are so many negative comments about this hotel: we stayed here for one night early in November on our last stop on the Francigena before Rome and we have no complaints at all. From the garden one has a beautiful view on the surroundings and right at the doorstep one finds the old borgo of Isola Farnese. Our room was spotless, the bedlinnen was clean and fresh, as well as the bathroom (although the shower had some signs of age - but nothing dramatic). Of course one cannot expect that the reception is staffed all day long in the low season, but after a phone call the owner Simone arrived within five minutes. He was very friendly and even offered us a beer. If we ever return in this region I will not hesitate to book a room here again!

The room was very big and spacious. The lo atmosphere is perfect for public transport. The bus stop is right outside

There was dust and the bathroom was not prperly cleaned

It was clean

I tried to leave my bag at the hotel prior to my check in and although the door was open and there was a call button on the wall no one would come to the desk to help me. I ended up having to carry my backpack with me the 6 kilometers to lunch. The location is a long way from any restaurants for lunch. I had to walk 6 kilometers to find a place for lunch. There was a good place for dinner but it wasn’t open for lunch.

It was a bed for the night. Basic necessities only.

No thought for traveller comfort. Nothing nearby for food especially if you have walked the VF to get there.

Owner unfriendly and very rude, bad internet, didn’t change towels, bugs in room, charged 10E/ day for AC. Got there at night lights were out and couldn’t find entrance. Owner didn’t speak much English and when we complained he claimed he didn’t understand.

When we arrived we were told the front door was locked at 23.00. If we arrived later it would cost us 14euro for door to be opened. No facilities at all in room except TV and then I was told it was 10 euros per night for aircon. Only acces to remote property was by 32 bus (20 mins) and no taxi readily available. Owner quite unhelpful to guests.

Away from the city and nice views

Had to pay additional fees in cash to use AC unit €90 cash would not take credit card. was not told about the electrical adaptors had different outlets, no iron, no ice, not enough towels for two people, someone tried to come in through the window, manager did not answer phone after 10 pm. Did not feel welcome during our stay, no general information about transportation, restaurants or shopping areas.

Great view from the deck area, lovely location not too far from the train to Rome

Neighbours too noisy too late at night, no AC in our room

Hotel met my expectations. Simo was very helpful.

Tidy place

The extra money I had to pay, I wasn't expecting nor in cash, fi ally I paid tourism tax with my credit card, the man in the reception not frienly with us, hi didn't inform about breakfast at all, we didn't have. Very unpleasant time. Is too far from the centre of Rome by public transport. Mary Guzman

Only views

There was no heat No blanket No hair dryer I was shivering form the cold all night until morning And the next day I caught a cold I just throw 200 eur in a garbage bin.

Not much.

Overworked staff. I had a couple in the room next to me who on each hour would start screaming at each other. The staff did not respond, giving me a bad nights sleep. I was just completing 40+ days walking the Via Francigena from north Italy. This was the worst place I stayed.

Cigarette Smell

person I dealt with did not have client relationship skills

the only thing which i liked about the property that i did not get robbed and the walls prevented foxes from entering my room

no hot water, very rude host, paperthin towels which smelt like vinegar chips from cheap chertsey fishandchip shop, complimented by disgusting duvet from 1940 which was probably left by american soldiers. the property itself would remind you of stephen kings shining if it was built on no budget.
