Stayed 3 nights, sheets & towels were changed daily, a simple luxury we appreciated very much. Found no tea/coffee making facilities but this was soon rectified with one call to the reception.
The hotel is a fair walk from the station but we didn't mind walking even after 10.00pm, there are 2 buses that would take you to the Metro station, all attractions are a short train ride away. We found the staff to be friendly & rooms clean. A variety of foods were offered at breakfast on each day.
We dined at the hotel restaurant on our final night & enjoyed southern Italian cuisine with local wine.
We will definitely stay at the Blu Hotel Roma on our next trip to Rome.

Location: If you work in London and use to rush hour walking speed its will take you 18 minutes from the main Metro (Tiburtina) If you from America more likely you have big bags or maybe fews...this could be 45 minutes...dragging...Bus no:409 and 545 fromTiburtina bus station stop about 300 meters from the hotel.Bus journey 5 minutes!.No way this hotel 700 meter from the main station (Tiburtina) If you bought a 3 days Metro travel pass you can use it on these bus.
Room: Very clean because everything is new,No carpets in room but tiles! so very noisy (especially at night) This is not sound proof room so you can hear next door...pretty much everything! bad room noise insolation + 2 single bed on tiles = 3 nights no sleep.
Breakfast:Coffee machine is great (free) but service with fuss!..eatable choice.
I don't felt welcome in the reception...again maybe because service with fuss...
Out to the right from the hotel about 4 minutes you find a pub and a kebab shop (highly recommend) and another 5 minutes you will find a little shopping mall with hypermarket. I spend 0.45 euro for 1L mineral water and its 2.50 euro for 500ML at the hotel minibar.
Free Internet only for business guest :-) but their have a PC at the lobby FOC and you can print your boarding pass there too.
The area is not pose at all so its good in summer but I won't dare to walk it at night especially in winter where day light shorter.
For what we experienced put another 10 - 15 euro on your budget a day will diffidently make it worth it to stay in Rome city center. I feel we spend at least 2 hrs in a day traveling to Rome and with the surroundings I don't risk go on metro to Tiburtina after 10pm....so for many reason I won't recommend it...

The Hotel is 3 bus stops away from the Tiburtina Station. From Tiburtina Station you get the train which goes directly to the airport so there is no need to go to Termini Station for the airport train. You get the bus 409 outside of the Tiburtina station and in no time you're at the hotel. A few vagrants hanging around the train station at times.
The staff was helpful and friendly. There are free maps at the reception and metro/bus tickets are also sold at the reception.
The room was typical best western standard featuring comfy beds, adequate closet space, mini bar, safe, cnn and bbc world on cable, free wifi, lovely bright modern bathroom, shower caps, bath gel, shampoo, soap, fresh towels.
There was a computer in the lobby and printer.
We never ate at the restaurant, so cant say what the food is like. Only a few persons seemed to dine there. We found an excellent little pizzeria near to the roundabout, that sold delicious pizza to order and other tasty pasta dishes and salads for very reasonable prices. There was always a take-away line outside and locals loved it.
There is an Auchan supermarket abt 7mins walk from the hotel. We stocked up on water there.
Breakfast at the hotel was very good for us and worth the price. It was buffet with: bacon, ham, scrambled and bolied eggs, salami, cheeses, regular and wholewheat croissants, sausages, whole wheat bread, white bread, toasting facilites, selection of juices and hot beverages, milk; yougurt, water, selection of fresh fruit, freshly baked lemon cake and marble cake, biscuits, crackers, jams, prunes, tarts, fresh vegetables.... if you're a breakfast person then it's definitely worth the money.
The hotel has complimentary services which you can request e.g. a clothes iron, ice, kettle.
The walls in the room are a bit thin but nothing to complain bitterly about. We had a pleasant stay.

I stayed here for about 9 days and here are my thoughts:
Bad:
- Location is not good. It's 15 mins walk to the nearest metro station Tiburtina and the station is not in a nice area - I wouldn't fancy walking from the station to the hotel after dark.
- Facilities - this hotel seems very new and I don't think they have yet sorted out their offerings. They say they do 24 hour room service but they are not set up to do this I asked a few times for a menu and they didn't seem to know what I was after. They also say they offer tours but then when you ask they don't have them set up yet.
- Tea and coffee is another thing that's weird. You have to ask for a kettle but then they never replenish the tea bags sugar etc. once you've used it. It's pretty minor but again just a bit weird.
Good
- Clean, nice spacey rooms
- Fairly cheap compared to other hotels in rome
-Breakfast is nice

A cab from Rome centre to the hotel is about 10 euro in case you wondered. All in all it's an ok little hotel but the area/location is just rubbish. There is a shopping mall with supermarket 10 mins walk away which is handy.
