Rome Day 3 - Fancy an espresso?
Breakfast is probably one of the best moments during the day in Italy; the taste of espresso is completely different from the London one, and for this reason we probably had too much caffeine in our system as we wandered off to our first appointment of the day. Alessandro palace Hostel and Alessandro Downtown Hostel.
We met Takashi the Japanese guy in charge of reservations, at Alessandro Palace which is very close to Termini station. I had been talking to him at the phone and after the meeting I can confirm he is a very precise and professional person.
The Hostel is very big for Rome, and rooms are spacious and luminous. Some of them have bunk beds, while others have single beds. All of them are ensuite which is unusual in Rome.
This is definitely a good place to meet other people especially because there is a bar famous to many young people in Rome, and they organise a free pizza party once in a week.
All the staff was definitely professional, English speaking and smiling, the latter being quite unusual in Rome where everyone always looks a litte annoyed.
