Hotel Locarno

The main and the adjoining hotel block via (the court yard) are the ones to stay in are very pleasant. The Anahi or "dependance" across the road, although clean, is plain and does not have the same ambience as the main hotel and I would strongly recommend avoiding it.

I have stayed in many hotels around Europe on business and I feel, that based on the double room in the annex in which we stayed, it did not merit "four star" status (probably nearer **+) and that the room rate was also not value for money. The main hotel is fine but the annex Anahi / dependance is not in the same league and failed meet our expectations.

Free Internet at the room. The garden/bar.

The room was completely run-down, needing to refurbish urgently. The attendants were not attentive as expected to a four star hotel that expensive. The location could be better.

The location of the hotel was excellent.

The rooms were extremely small and dark. We were on the first floor and a nightclub operated until 3am outside our room.

Location and charm

Perfect location close to Pz Populi, subway station, Via del Corsa (main shopping street) and some tourist attractions (e.g. Spanish staircase), terrace with astonishing views of Rome's rooftops and St Peter's cathedral, nice garden bar, in general - a nice place to rest after lenghy walks

We lived in the main building. Air conditioning did not work and the street was too noisy even in the night to keep the windows open. The terrace lacks a bar (although drinks can be ordered from the garden bar), rooms need some renovation, the elevator is a chef d'oeuvre from the beginning of XX century but works occasionally. But somehow all of the above does not spoil the general good...

Helpful staff , good location and great breakfast buffet.

TV did not work, bar was noisy on floor directly below

Central location - good atmosphere in the bar at night time. Concierge, Isabella, was helpful pre arrival for organising a tour guide, booking restaurants and booking babysitter.

Service was below average - room not cleaned until after 2pm. Reception did not call back on enquiries sent through.

Retro hotel in a great location. Great courtyard atmosphere in the evening.

Needs a bit more care and attention to the decor. Looks a bit tired.

I have stayed at this hotel on previous occassions. The location is great, has an old charm about it, and is next to one of my favourite restaurants in Rome.

the location and the cleaness

The Art Deco design of hotels and courtyard give a welcome break to staying contemporary characterless hotels. The Hotel is in prime position for shopping and sight seeing and you can walk to 90% of Romes main tourist attractions. Via del Corso is at your doorstep as are the Spanish Steps with the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain only a stones throw away. The staff are friendly and well trained.

View of brick wall was unfortunate and bathroom was in need of refurbishment, There are no tea / coffee making facilities, however at the price we paid I was 100% happy.

Beautiful Art Deco hotel with amazing lobby bar and outdoor garden patio for breakfast and lunch.

I suggest staying at the main hotel building only and not the new wing of the hotel. It's a 4 Star hotel but this new wing, located across the street from the actual hotel, felt like it was a Pensione. The hard beds didn't help.
