I stayed here for 4 nights in September and found it to be a good hotel. Staff were helpful to varying degrees, though friendly. Location was great - close to sights, as well as smaller stores, trattories, etc. I'm uncertain about the traveller who found the elevator was never working in September. When I was there in the third week... more

We stayed in Hotel Locarno for 2 nights on September 2008. The hotel has a great location near via del Corso and piazza del Poppolo...for someone who has never been in Rome and would love to visit the historic centre this is very important The rooms are clean but very old fashioned...our room had a tiny tv and it was... more

The Hotel itselt was ok but my credit carg was incorrectly charged rather than authorised upon arrival and then again when we left. Initially telephoned and told that no refund could be made back to a credit card - why not? After about 30 emails managed to get the Hotel to TT some money but amount was deducted by their... more

This is a hotel that trades heavily on a retro, art nouveau appeal and on its proximity to Piazza del Popolo and the shopping streets of Via del Corso and Via Condotti. To my untrained eyes the art-nouveau heritage is limited to some idiosyncratically shaped windows, a gloomily atmospheric bar and the world's oldest lift cage. The rooms themselves are... more

Double check in advance if hot water is availalble just in case they forget to let you know... more

I have just returned from a spectacular 3 night stay at Hotel Locarno in Rome. Our room was spotless and comfortable, which is exactly what you need after a busy day walking around the city. Included in the price is a very filling buffet breakfast (served in the courtyard) and they also have an excellent lunch menu which is very... more

We recently stayed at the hotel for three nights and I can honestly say that the property leaves a lot to be desired. I've stayed at the Hotel Locarno twice in the past five years and generally had a good stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, if a little worn, but the rooftop terrace and the courtyard are lovely. The... more

Who would have thought it - another rip-off Italian hotel? I should have realised when I viewed their pathetic website that this hotel would not meet our needs. Where to start? I asked them to make sure that we could have a bed in our room for our 6-year-old son - check-in denied all knowledge of this, to the point... more

Hotel Locarno's lovely outside breakfast area and classic old reception are the best it has to offer. For the price (Eur 270), the rooms are badly in need of a refurbishment. Upon returning home, we discovered that our credit card had been charged on check in and on check out - ie double charged. This was raised with the hotel... more
