The one-star Hotel Locanda Carmel is a comfortable, family-run property that offers an excellent value. Located near the center of Trastevere, it's still far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. 

The Hotel Locanda Carmel is simple yet affordable, offering friendly and helpful service, a basic breakfast, and the usual facilities. A lovely rooftop terrace makes it a great value.

Beyond traditional tiled floors and cream walls, each of the Locanda Carmel’s 10 rooms is uniquely decorated, with furnishings that range from green sateen to raunchy red. Honestly, the décor is a little tired in places, but the Locanda Carmel more than makes up for it with its location and rates. Plus, rooms are clean and quiet.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a safe and TV. All but two have a private bathroom.

The Hotel Locanda Carmel’s hidden gem has to be the plant-filled rooftop terrace, which features a covered seating area. The hotel offers a simple breakfast, and Wi-Fi is free. Note that the hotel does not have an elevator. 

The Locanda Carmel's biggest selling point is the location. Trastevere is a great place for travelers looking to escape the tourist throngs while remaining close to the attractions. The hotel provides easy access to public transit and is a short walk from Piazza San Cosimato and the daily open-air morning market.

Location: Very central

1.2km to city center

Perched on the western bank of the River Tiber just where it straddles Isola Tiberina, Trastevere ("across the Tevere," or Tiber) is known for its artsy demeanor and picturesque, winding streets. This historically working-class neighborhood is terribly cute, and hip to boot. It's characterized by earth-toned medieval buildings and stone walls just crawling with ivy. Plus, it offers easy access to the Centro Historico.

Just keep in mind that Trastevere has been "discovered." The neighborhood features loads of tourist traps. Think Boho gone Soho. And while much of its tough, "authentic" Roman character remains, Trastevere is also now home to numerous trendy and touristy bars, cafes, shops, and restaurants. Nighttime crowds can make these postcard-perfect streets downright noisy. Despite all this, we can't help it. We love Trastevere just the same.
