Rough Guide "The rooms of this small three-star surround an orange-tree-filled garden, making it feel far removed from the city."
Fodor's "This ivy-covered, mansard-roofed, rosy-brick-red, erstwhile Renaissance-era convent is just steps away from the glorious Santa Maria in Trastevere church and a few blocks from the Tiber." Full review
Insight Guides "A former 17th-century cloister, it has been sympathetically renovated and offers high standards of comfort, as well as a courtyard garden that is an oasis of calm."
Travel + Leisure "It has perhaps the most enviable physical visage of all Roman hotels." Full review

Enjoy an aperitivo buffet provided every evening, plus the bar’s full range of cocktails and wines.
DK Eyewitness "An oasis of calm in an area relatively untouched by the onslaught of time, Santa Maria has rooms around a charming courtyard filled with citrus trees."
Time Out "Just off delightful piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the Santa Maria opened in 2000 on the site of a 16th-century convent and has since built up a loyal clientele." Full review
Star Service "This charming inn is a delightful throwback that rightfully deserves the honor of "Rome's Homiest Hotel."" Full review

If you book into this art deco landmark, make sure to reserve in the new wing of the hotel.
Travel + Leisure "Located just a four-minute walk from Piazza del Popolo, this Art Deco hotel consists of the original 1925 building and an annexed 1905 palazzo." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A gorgeous Art-Deco hotel, with many original fittings intact in public spaces and bedrooms, the Locarno is a step away from Piazza del Popolo."
Star Service "Blessed with a colorful yet efficient staff, Hotel Locarno is in possession of a "love it or leave it" attitude that speaks to the quirky nostalgic flavor that inhabits each room." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"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." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Hotel Locarno has bags of charm, a sterling location near the glorious Piazza del Popolo, and it’s not unreasonably priced." Full review
Afar Magazine "On a warm spring night, the smell of blooming wisteria on the patio of this fashionable hotel makes it a perfect place to while away happy hour." Full review
OysterUpscale
"One of the more legendary institutions in Rome, upscale Hotel Locarno has been drawing scene-savvy locals and travelers essentially since opening in 1925." Full review
