We stayed at Home Hotel in Nov 08 for 3 nights. Right from the start the experience was great. All of the staff from security, to front of house, to restaurant were superb and that's what makes a good hotel...the staff.
Home is a really cool hotel and i don't mean a pretentious 'staff are cooler than the guests' sort of way but a 'the staff are very at ease with themselves and others' sort of way! We felt very comfortable there. Nothing was a problem. The staff were full of suggestions of where to go for dinner, tango, shoes(wife very happy)!
The decor and rooms are great. Well chosen furniture and colour scheme, and really comfortable. It's very much a hotel you can hang out in rather than just a room you sleep in.
The location is superb it's right in the heart of palermo (which is a great area), near lots of restaurants, shops(wife very happy).
Highly recommended!!

Staying 4 nights in room number 17 a top floor Suite with a birdseye view of the neiborhood of Palermo! We have stay at
Home twice in Suite's both times and LOVE this hotel. Breakfast is awsome and colorfull. Home Spa is a wonderful way to relax and unwind. What a treat! The staff is wonderful!

I think this hotel is very overrated. I am in the Standard Plus room right now paying $180 a night for a very far walk to Palermo Soho where all the action is. I would say its a tiring 20 min walk with nothing to see half the way. Palermo Hollywood, where the hotel is located, really has little going on around it. It's very quiet with some restaurants. (Avoid Olsen. It aint all that believe me. Like everything in palermo, its overpriced.) The decor is a little too cold - Danish, no warmth.

My room is small and the bathroom is tiny. I would call the room just adequate. Nothing special. I can't have the shades drawn because it overlooks the room hallway. No slippers, no washcloths, barely a surface in the bathroom for your toiletries. The bed sheets and bed are good and there is a flat panel TV. Breakfast is a nice touch. No buffet - they serve you at the table and its a nice presentation indeed. Rooms are very clean though and everything looks new.

If I could do over, I would not stay in Palermo at all. I am from NYC and I have to say this area mimics any stuckup overpriced "modern" trendy area in Soho or LES. You pay high prices everywhere around you and everything is boutiquey bourgeois. Is this BA? I hope not. I had heard you get great deals in BA. Where??? I bet you could get a big [-] room in a different area like Recoleta perhaps for a like price. Home Hotel like any store in Soho, NYC, charges you for their Brand. For the Experience,. blah blah blah. For the price, I just want a good room in a good location. Home is off the mark with this. You would have to cab it to get good value.

Oh! and the pool. You wont be using it unless it's high summer so don't let that be the deciding factor. It is a nice garden for sure.

I would give Home a 4 if it wasnt for the value. Maybe my expectations are unrealistic but having paid $200 a night in Vina del Mar, Chile for a 5 star hotel, this is plain overpriced. This room should be 150 at best. Wayyy overpriced.

We can't recommend this hotel strongly enough. We stayed for four nights and were thoroughely delighted with the staff, the accommodation and service. This was by far the best hotel on our trip.
The staff were especially superb happily working with us to book excursions, dinner/lunch recommendations, tango trip, numerous taxi's and shopping recommendations. Breakfasts are very nice with a different imaginative menu each day. Our room which was a suite was very spacious with a large balcony. We saw one of the double rooms through an open door and think that the suites are worth the bit extra.
