Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Homs

Tucked away on a quiet street near the Spanish Steps, this midsize hotel built in 1910 is convenient to great cafés, serious shopping, and all the sights. The property's fine views of the whole area can be enjoyed from either of two rooftop terraces, as well as from balconies in a few of the rooms. All rooms are furnished in true Roman style with wooden fixtures, beautiful antiques, and rich, colored fabrics; that said, they're also on the verge of needing a makeover. Families or those traveling in a group can rent the hotel's apartment, and solo travelers can opt for a budget-friendly single room.
