Upon reading several reviews of this property I think our expectations were set a bit too high. The Hotel's best feature is it's location -- a block from the Spanish Steps and in a fun cafe restaurant area. However, the Concierge was snobby and unapproachable. And the hotel room was very average. If you are looking for a 3 star property with a good location Hotel Homs is a good bet.

I booked the reservation online through their website. For the price we paid 550 euros per night, for 5 nights, we expected excellent service. We booked the Trinita De Monti Suite de luxe and were happy with it - two flatscreen TVs, modern bathroom. However, since there were 4 of us, we needed the extra bathroom and inquired about the apartment. We were told the rate was depending on the number of people and were surpised to be quoted rates lower than the rate (300- 450 euros)we paid for the suite deluxe. But when they checked our current rate, we were told they would give us the apartment for the same rate we were paying. We transferred and expected better accomodations. The apartment is really big but is not as modern as the suite deluxe. One bathroom is old and the toilet always clogged up. The TV in the master bedroom is an old TV that could not get any english channel. Several outlets were not working and caused the breaker to trip. We called the fromt desk several times to have our concerns fixed and were brushed off, saying they had to wait for the engineer. Until we left three days later and numerous follow up,, some of our concerns were still not taken care of. . Because of this, I do not think it is a 4 star hotel. There was no strong effort to address the concerns of the guest..

Re hotels in Rome there are loads depends on your budget and where you want to stay. Check out www.activehotels.com (my preferred choice) and hotels.com.

I personally can recommend Hotel Homs but it is a four star, I thought very affordable considering ((£296 for two nights). I booked a single room (comes with a double bed) I thought it was a good size but I'm easily pleased! I wanted a bit more luxury after sharing a room with two others in a basic hotel in Pescara (2hrs away from Rome, was attending a wedding) and also because I was woman travelling alone didn't want to feel isolated. It's just off the Spanish steps and walking distance to all the sights. Includes flatscreen TV, huge shower, minibar, safe deposit box also onsite restaurant but hotel still feels cosy and boutique with character. After sharing a room it was beautiful to have a big modern bathroom all to myself with a proper full-on power shower, hair dryer and magnifying mirror. I usually do basic accomodation so for me this was a real treat. I had ear plugs I always carry them when I travel particularly in European cities. You do hear the noise from the street when the shutters are open but remember it is a central location. There is a fruit seller at the bottom of the road selling fresh fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice. Which was great for mea as I eat a fresh and live food diet. Cafes, and restaurants abound so food won't be your problem. Frontdesk staff are what I would call professionally nice apart from one who I can't remember her name, was genuinely very, warm. The cleaning staff are ace.

I decided to go with this hotel last minute , wasn't sure what to expect. Turned out to be an excellent hotel, with a brilliant location, walked to almost all the sites, which is great as you'll save money. If your a lover of shopping and love big name brands the location of this hotel is fab is around the corner from Gucci etc.

The Hotel was great, i had a double room which was an ok size as was bathroom. Service was good, staff were polite and happy to help when requested although made no real attempt to get to know us or really speak to us otherwise. Overall great hotel would stay there again.

Just a quick note, was very expensive as a city in terms of food and drinks would recommend you buy e.g. large bottles of water etc from a local shop tucked away from the main tourist points as this should save you money.
