Expert reviews
“The Hotel Locarno, with generous high-ceilinged rooms, a fabulous bar and a lovely courtyard, is an oasis of class and tranquillity a stone’s throw from Piazza del Popolo.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Rome.
“A hotspot for artists and creatives such as Mimmo Palladino, Enzo Cucchi and Federico Fellini since the 1960s, this Art Deco jewel remains simultaneously sceney and classic. Pre-dinner cocktails in the courtyard are guaranteed to impress even the fussiest guest.”

For the most part we enjoyed our stay.
Loved the hotel. Beautiful and great location.
Some of the staff were very pompous and condescending. Very disappointing for such a lovely hotel. Also a very lush green and absolutely beautiful terrace that the guests are not allowed to use unless you pay more or have an event. Guests are regulated to a pleasant but stark with no charm terrace.

Magnificent stay in Rome
The atmosphere od the room and the common areas was great. The room was perfect. And the brekfast great. The best cappuccino we had in Rome was in our hotel.
Only the noise we had due to construction works in the building next to us, but this was not a fault of the hotel.

Perfect stay
Phenomenal staff, personal treatment, super clean rooms and grounds. Location is perfect and breakfast is really great. Can't go wrong with this one, worth every penny (and more)
The water pressure in the shower could be higher, but nothing too disturbing.

Welcoming, Elegant Perfection in the heart of Rome.
This is a beautiful well appointed property down the street from Piazza Popolo .
My only complaint would be that there was no place to hang the hand held shower head. I made do and would definitely return

Very good - see comment about staff. But be aware; this is a hotel still set in he 1930s.
Absolutely superb staff - patient, friendly, genuinely caring. I have been in many good hotels and have never been better looked after.

Great boutique hotel that has maintained its charm. Breakfasts were outstanding, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, and we were able to walk to all major attractions in Rome. We would very happily stay again at this beautiful hotel. It was a brilliant way to start our Italian holiday.

Second time staying here and won’t be the last, Hotel Locarno keeps getting better!
The hotel is classy and charming without losing the sophistication. The location is perfect and walkable to all major Rome attractions as well as shopping and dining. The staff is phenomenal and the food out of this world!!
