My wife and I were pleasantly surprised upon arriving at the Blu Hotel Roma. The hotel was freshly renovated and the service was fantastic. Our room was large and spacious and our bathroom was clean and modern. The breakfast buffet, which came included in the price, was top notch. This hotel is located a little bit away from downtown Rome but getting back and forth on public transportation was a piece of cake. A bus stop is located just outside the hotel and it is only a 5 minute bus ride to the metro station.
On the down side, the hotel does not have room service. On a couple of occassions, I walked to a local pizzeria to buy some food for takeout (it was hot out and our room had great air-conditioning). The reception told me that customers were not allowed to eat in the rooms - period. I told her that I had never stayed in a hotel before that didn't allow food to be eaten in the room. Unbelievable! The cable TV service included only 1 English channel (BBC) which is about as much fun as watching paint dry. No FOX news! Oh well...Rome is not a place to spend your time inside watching TV.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will return the next time we visit Rome. It takes a little bit of time getting to and from the center but for the price you won't find a nicer hotel anywhere in Rome. Happy travels!
