Radisson Blu es. Hotel, Rome

The concept with the shower integrated in the room is a matter of taste -not my taste but that's fine and is not the reason for 2 out of 5 stars. The reason is that this hotel is poorly maintained, the public areas and especially the pool ( missing tiles, and covers for the filter) do need maintenance! In my room was aassiv cut in the plastic floor and a lot of other smaller items. If they would spend some money it could be definitely a very nice place!

Very clean hotel with lots of hidden fees. Disappointed with the lack of communication. I think if you speak Italian they will accommodate better. Shared one room with my friend and noticed the bathroom is right next to the bed with no privacy whatsoever. I’m not sure what they were going for here. My friend and I had to take turns to take showers and to step out of the room for privacy during shower and grooming. Very inconvenient. The have a beautiful pool area for 15 euros day pass. This was not mentioned during booking. Very inconvenient. Central air and lighting works only upon inserting room card key. It was very hot in Rome during our visit so we decided to leave one room key inside to keep the room fresh. Days later the cleaning lady took the key and we had to ask for another key. Days later she came back with the key to return it. Breakfast is not included. American breakfast is 27 euros. Take your chances. Upon checking out of hotel, we inquired about shuttle to airport, front desk scheduled the car without letting us know that it will be 50 euros, so when we arrived at the airport we had the pleasant surprise that we owned money to the driver with no cash left. Thankfully we were able to pay him with a credit card. Management won’t probably care but they are shooting themselves in the foot because we as tourist we are looking to relax and enjoy our stay, not to be surprised with emerging fees, that’s why bookings are prior to visit. Good luck.

I would give this hotel a very poor rating for several reasons. It calls itself a 5 star hotel and the prices reflect it, but nothing about it is 5 star. The location is in a definitely shady area that feels unsafe after dark. The rooms are strangely designed and do not have even a basic cupboard. We stayed 3 nights and mostly lived out of a suitcase. While the breakfast spread is good, lunch and dinner should definitely be avoided here. The only thing we liked about this hotel is the service. The staff is polite and helpful so full marks to them!! Overall.. unless you have a compelling reason to stay near the station, I would recommend that this hotel be avoided.

Well located, clean but tired. Decor and layout are strange. Bath behind the bed with no door, toilet space small and terrible lighting. The bath didn't work and they tried fixing it at 9pm unsuccessfully. The didn't offer to try again or move us to a new room. We were only staying a couple of nights so left it but would have liked the option to have a nice bath. Disappointed for what's meant to be a good hotel.

The hotel room was an interesting design, but not practical. The shower is right behind the bed in the room, which is just a curtain. The sink also next to the bed. The toilet in a small semi-transparent glass section in the back of the room. Room service food was decent, but not great. I wouldn't consider this a 4 or 5 star hotel.

Having not realised 5 star in the UK is not the same as 5 star in Italy! So bare in mind the tourist tax is 7euros a night per person because of that and don't get a surprise like we did! We booked this room for seven nights and were very disappointed as it wasn't what we were expecting. The hotel isn't in a particularly nice area to walk back through at night and was a red light district until 2 years ago. You'll find the room is very dark and not well lit, the room is very basic and not particularly luxurious. The shower isn't particularly powerful, though the bath was roomy and deep. The gym facilities and inside pool are 15euros a time. The outdoor pool is a lovely suntrap but didn't particularly warm the pool well... The breakfast was very hit and miss. The "hot food" was cold/warm the eggs were at times watery. The staff however were very attentive and welcoming. I'm not sure whether I could justify spending that much money on a mediocre breakfast when you could walk to one of the local restaurants and get more for your money. I can't fault them for the range on offer however. If you sit out on the balcony you can enjoy some lovely views.

Rooms are amazing, terrace is amazing, swimming pool is amazing. The level of the service is a low 3 stars hotel. The question is: why? It could be so simple to have a real hi level quality service. Examples? U ask the gym opening hours at the reception and the answer "u should ask". To who? Then: u come back at night and nobody says welcome back. And so on... My suggestion: change director and other key people, consequently it will be a real hi level hotel. Otherwise, that's the situation: apparently good, then just average (and it is so sad, since it isn't Radisson expected quality).

This hotel is in a good location for shopping and the roof bar is a great place to enjoy the breeze and a cocktail. Overall we found the staff helpful but we had a couple of bad experiences. The waiter delivering our room service knocked a glass of wine all over me smashing the glass on the floor in the process. Then on the same night the air conditioner leaked soaking some of our clothes. To be fair they did fix the air con the next day. However they did want to charge us for the washing even though I explained carefully why we needed it done.
