the hotel is wonderfully placed at the centre of the city...but thats about it. we were not put in the hotel we booked but in the ´hotel´ across the street..no problem...we thought. the wallpaper has been designed by a person that likes his acid trips. but that doesnt matter much as you will be out in the city most of... more

We had booked a room at the Locarno for a weekend trip. The trip was to celebrate that me and my husband now had received our PhD´s. We really wanted Locarno because of it´s art dëco style. The room was booked well in advance, we confirmed the booking twice in writing, the last time the day before our arrival, just... more

My husband treated me to a trip to Rome for our anniversary. Hotel Locarno was centrally located and a good stepping off point for touring the city. He had read some good reviews and decided that Suite 605 would be a special treat at €450 per night. We understood that the Locarno was a four star hotel and we were... more

We have just returned from Locarno and really loved it. True, the room was small and there are a few blips - you can't reach the loo roll from the loo and the shaving socket was located behind the door so no chance of reaching the mirror. I would like to think the rather rickety lift had been serviced recently... more

I have to be honest and say I have not stayed at the Hotel Locarno...but not because I didn't try. I booked a reservation with the hotel 3 weeks prior to my vacation in Italy. Upon checking in I was informed that the hotel was overbooked and that there was not a room available for my fiance' and me. Although... more

A friend, as well as several travel books including Frommer's, indicated that Locarno was a great "artsy" choice for staying in Roma. I was concerned about the bad reviews here (as I was correct to be), but wanted to trust my friend and the books, and was excited about the art deco decor. So, I decided to book an expensive... more

We stayed four nights at the Hotel Locarno and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The best thing is the location; we were within walking distance to everything - from the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and the Piazza del Poppolo. Everything you needed was close. The room is small, but then in my experience, most European hotel rooms are...so no surprises... more

Pretty Hotel downtown Rome, close to Piazza del Popolo, 10 mns walk from Piazza di Spagna. Ask for room in the central block (possibly not in the dependance opposite the street). Bikes available to visit the city. more

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
