Review submitted 08Oct.'09:
Being "tight" seniors in our late 70's, we needed something really cheap in now-expensive Rome. Checking the web, this hotel appeared to fit our need compared to the crazy prices we were getting on the web. Eurorooms was only €75 a night, no breakfast! We had the thought it would be something like "Etap". Nope.
The staff (Fabio) was very helpful. The locale was excellent since it was near "Termini", the main rail terminal. We knew via Palestro as a relatively quiet area having stayed in the Hotel Romae on the same street last year @€69. Wow, Romae wanted €133 in '09!
Eurorooms, with a number of young adult customers, was quite spartan. It is a place that is strictly for the non-picky customer. The elevator was creaky and upon landing on the 4th floor, you must lug your gear up a flight of stairs to the office on the 5th floor. Graciously, Fabio helped us.
Yes, we maybe should have spent more on lodging and have things more polished. Our kids don't appreciate our miserliness anyway.
But, we were about to serve in a chaplaincy on a luxurious 10-day cruise and did not wish to spend a bundle on a hotel since we must pay for everything but a portion of the cruise.
We will often get ourselves into such lodging. Most Americans would turn up their noses at places we hunker-down in. We take it all as a challenge to stay in humble, yet clean, places like Eurorooms.
Just be aware, folks, that this is not a fancy hotel!
