Researched moreso for a hotel in Rome than any other Eurpoean city I've been to. In the end I went with a recommendation from a friend. Eva's Room website looked good and other reviews sounded promising. The hotel is very central a couple of minutes from the Spagna metro station which is a link to almost everywhere in Rome. The Spanish Steps are a stones throw away, the Trevi fountain a couple of mintues. The hotel itself although advertising as a guest house had more of an apartment feel. There is no reception area to speak of, instead a tiny pokey room where an employee sits throughout the day, doesn't come across as particularly welcoming or professional. There is a lift as you walk in the door and thats it by the way of communial areas. No breakfast room, terrace, balcony...lobby. We never bumped into any other guests whilst there for four nights! The room was fine, not pokey or spacious for that matter. Bathroom was very clean, we had clean towels every second day though no change of bedding. There was constant hot water and our air-con worked a treat. There isn't much of a view in any of the rooms but we used our room really a base point so it made no odds. Breakfast was a real let down, Upon check in we asked for our breakfast to be brought to our room at 9am, I chose coffee, my boyfriend tea, this stayed the same for our four mornings, no other choice! Breakfast consisted of a sugary croissant and tea/coffee everyday. Very dissapointing considering Rome's boast of fabulous pastierre. By day two we skipped it altogther. Don't think I'd stay in Eva's Rooms again should I visit Rome, not that it was by any means a disaster just not very enjoyable. I missed the frills of a hotel, I think when you're holidaying its nice to feel spoiled and taken care of. Its nice to have interaction the staff, some friendly banter. We really missed the option of a hotel bar. Rome has a huge restaurant culture which is great but tends to end by midnight, would have been nice to have an option for a few drinks in our hotel. Just a point hotel staff will recommend restaurants on their doorstep. We ate in Piaza di Spagna the first two nights though decided to check out Piazza Novana highlighted in our guide book. So glad we did, much more choice, likelier, buskers, street acts, art dealers, food far superior.
