    kollar should be accepted, but it's pretty colloquial.

          Would mean 'we are looking for the room' (searching for it).

                That would mean "we are standing looking at the room" while "vi tittar på rummet" does not imply that they're standing, perhaps they are sitting down?

                  I thought it was valid as a sentence construction used as a way of making a continuous present tense that Swedish otherwise lacks. Are you a native Swedish speaker ?
