I stayed 3 days in early February 2012 at Villa Eur for a business meeting taking place in the very same place. This hotel is located in a religious congregation on a top of a hill in EUR area. The building is huge, bedrooms, restaurant and meeting rooms are quite distant from each other. The reception is large with a bar, but not very animated or appealing. The rooms are ok and the bathrooms are functional and clean, however there is nothing fancy to be reported about them. They are quite unpersonal, very ordinary. The building was bearly heated on day 1, so guests have to complain before heating system was turned on. The restaurant staff does not speak other languages than Italian so communicating with foreign guests was not easy. The free wifi internet was not working very well and it took at least 1 full day to get acceptable connectivity from the 2nd floor. The breakfast was ok, but nothing stylish, with danish pastries, cake, fresh fruits and fresh juices, tea and coffee, yogurts and cereals.
The most important to report is that the hotel is at 15 min walking distance from the metro station and it is not ideally located in Rome. It is far from most of exciting tourist sites. Even for shopping a taxi is required and becomes costly.
It is qualified of an non ordinary experiment because it is quite not usual to sleep within a religious congregation, even if the monks were very discrete and quite silent.
