We just returned from a stay at Hotel Eden, and thanks to Trip Advisor reviews, knew what to expect. This was a great location for our plans, convenient to the Spanish Steps and Piazza Barberini metro station (about 2 blocks away). We had 2 children with us, and the staff was quite friendly and helpful. The concierge helped us with reservations for several things, and directions as well. The room was spacious, and had a separate shower and tub, which was great with the kids. The water was plentiful with great pressure/rain shower. The furnishings were rather sumptious, as to be expected in a hotel of this level. The windows opened for lovely night air, and we had parquet floors, a loveseat, desk, small table, a few chairs, and several windowseats. We had an in room safe, and a small mini bar (could remove a few drinks to place your own items inside with no problem). The bed was not as hard as I was expecting, but was not as comfortable as the fluffy heavenly bed you might see at other starwood hotels stateside. We had nightly turn down service with chocolates or candy delivered- the kids loved that touch! The only drawback I saw has nothing to do with the hotel but with European hotel style in general when traveling with kids- you need to be prepared for only one bed. They will bring in one cot, if that is what you prefer for the kids, and there was plenty of space for that in our room. If you are using starwood points, as we were, you can upgrade your room to a more appropriate one for children. Call the hotel and discuss with them in advance. Per the previous reviews, we did not eat at the hotel for breakfast or order room service (extremely expensive) but did shell out the 23 euro to use the internet for 24 hours in the room. We didn't find any hotels during our stay that included internet- seems to be a European thing.
We had a rental car for use during other parts of our trip, and conveniently parked it right across the street in the garage for 18 euro a night- this is one of the few parking garages we saw in Rome, so the location was excellent for that.
My husband thought this would have been incredible as a romantic destination for 2 adults. Overall, we thought it was great, but you could probably find other better values if that is what you need in Rome- for our starwood points it was great.
