We were taken to a different building when we checked in. It was dirty, one of our rooms did not have a toilet, we were asked to pay upfront, the area was sketchy. Don't stay here.

We picked Hotel Blu because of the central location (Metro/train station) and the photos on various web sites showed a nice, clean room. We arrived to find that the hotel is in a very dirty part of the city. Parking is non-existent unless you are willing to park on the street a few blocks away. Although one web site stated they had free parking, the best we could get was 16 Euros/day in a garage that was too small for our van. There was no "front desk" but one desk that managed 3-4 "hotels" in the same building. The rooms were very small with mold in the bathrooms and nearly non-existent maid service. Breakfast consisted of being given a coupon to a coffee bar and told we could have one breakfast pastry and a cup of coffee or OJ. Althought the area is convenient, we paid approximately 80 Euros/night for a hotel that was worth maybe 25 Euros. For the same price, we were able to stay in a 4-star hotel in Naples (Holiday Inn). I would recommend a 4-Star hotel out past the Vatican and take the bus or taxi to the nearest Metro station.

One of my worsts experience ever.The troubles begun from my arival.Aipoort of rome lost my luggage with an alitalia flight and noone give anything to solve my problem only non english staff dirty trains and worst subway ever.The hotel was not clean the rooms was like staying in a bad kind of hostel and the worst part of all was the service.Absolutelly rude.Never again.

Do not even think of staying at this hotel!

When we first arrived the woman demanded cash - I told her that that was out of the question and that it would have to be on Visa as advertised. There was no-one to check us in and when we got to our room the so called double room was 2 single beds pushed together! The maid did not change the sheets - she changed them once in 8 days! Also the so called breakfast was a coffee and a roll.

This was not an inexpensive hotel to go stay at - 720 Euros for 8 nights - for the same price a decent 3 star hotel could be got in Rome. I booked this after much searching on the net and thought it was a good deal - how wrong I was!
