The Hotel Locarno is a classic Italian style hotel with lots of character. It's location is excellent for sightseeing, restaurants and shops. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, with all its charm and original fittings, it is a bit run down and if improved would be so much better. We got upgraded at extra cost but it made a... More

We stayed at Hotel Locarno (4 stars) at the end of April 2013 for 6 days. We arrived late evening and were assigned room in the hotel annex, which can also be found on the Internet under the name Hotel Anahi (2 stars). Next morning we approached the front desk, as we were of the firm opinion that we had... More

I traveled alone from the U.S. with my teenage daughter. Because we were two ladies traveling alone, location was most important for me. It is within walking distance to a rail station, restaraunts, shopping, travel agency, and many sites such as Piazza de Popolo and the Spanish Steps. There are also a couple of basilicas within walking distance. We booked... More

The best thing about the Hotel Locarno in Rome is it's location, very close to Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and a couple of blocks from Piazza Popolo. I was in a standard guest room just around the corner and one flight up from the courtyard bar space. Surprisingly, our room wasn't loud, but the bed was very old, uncomfortable and... More

Yes it is small and the bathrooms are cramped, but the ambiance and the attentiveness of the staff and the quirkiness of this hotel won me over. It's central. It fits the bill for a 1-4 night city visit. The are things they could improve on from my point of view (kettle/coffee in the room, better lighting in rooms for... More

Nice high ceilings, spacious room .... And then sadly, that's where the magic ends! Unfortunately, we only read the reviews two days before we checked in, and we were hoping that somehow we would enjoy a better experience. Notnthe case I'm afraid. I am writing my review on the final night of a three-night stay, and I am sorry that... More

I didn't hate my stay at Hotel Locarno but I didn't love it either. The hotel lobby/building/bar/eating area are lovely - old world charm feel with all the touches. The staff were nice but not overly friendly. The breakfast was really nice - lots of options and good service. Eating in the courtyard was a treat that made the stay... More

We stayed for 4 nights in March. The hotel is a short walk from the Vatican and convenient for some of the other major attractions, Piazza Novena, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon etc. The room we stayed in was quite small and dark with the bathroom being compact -but as we were out most of the time we did not mind.

We had the most wonderful stay here. Great bar, and good location to visit the most of Rome's attractions. Hotel is situated on a quiet street, but with several good restaurants in the neighborhood. Very reasonable prices for the location....
