Radisson Blu GHR Hotel, Rome in Rome

So first off I want to start with the positive, the rooms are beautifully furnished and clean, the soundproofing as far as outside sound is great and the staff is very friendly. However for me, the negatives are pretty hard to get over. Every single morning at 8:00 a.m. I would start being woken up by housekeeping slamming doors, unfortunately the soundproofing through the doors of the room leaves a lot to be desired. Anything happening in the hallway you can hear inside of your room, people talking, doors opening and closing etc. Housekeeping is definitely not attempting to be quiet, there's a lot of slamming of doors, strange beeping sounds and shuffling of things on the cart which goes on from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. at least. So if you like sleeping in, find another hotel because it's not possible here. The bed is quite hard, my husband woke up each day with a sore hip from sleeping on his side due to the bed being pretty much unpadded. Our room also had a very strange setup in the bathroom, the toilet was literally in the corner less than a foot from the counter so you had to do this weird crab walk while half squatting to get to the toilet. There's very little counter space and in general the bathroom feels cramped. The biggest issue for my husband was for sure the air conditioning, while it works it is not particularly cold so if you like it cool in the room to sleep you won't find it here. It's not hot, but it definitely does not get cold either. I will also say that it is pretty difficult to get to City center from this hotel, even though there is a train stop very close by it does not run into the city center. You can get there but you have to change trains/ walk to a different station several times which is not exactly convenient.

For me though, the biggest issue is for sure the loud housekeeping starting at 8:00 a.m. every single day we stayed here I was woken up at 8:00 a.m. and unable to sleep past that due to this sheer level of noise. Personally it feels extremely inconsiderate and like housekeeping really doesn't even consider that people might want to sleep in. We had a really long flight getting here so the first day we really needed sleep, and it was impossible to get here. Oh and also, room service is delicious but very expensive for Rome. Not unusual due to the convenience factor of room service, but something to keep in mind.
