“The Kolbe Rome Hotel was wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2010

We stayed at the Kolbe during our 20th anniversary trip. We booked the hotel through Hotwire and got a GREAT deal. The hotel was a little hard to find but once we got there & figured out how to get around, it was good. I recommend getting a taxi from the airport or train station. The closest subway is the Colloseo, but it is really tough to manuever through all of the cobblestone streets with luggage.

The Kolbe is a converted monestary with a lot of the original architecture and the courtyard is beautiful. The hotel restaurant is top-notch and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again!

“We can't wait to return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2010

The service was excellent. From the moment we checked into until we checked out, our experience was great. Our room was over looking the garden. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. If you stay at the Kolbe, ask for a room facing the garden.
The location of the hotel is right in the center of the Roman ruins. The front of the hotel is facing the ruins. Breakfast is included with the room. It is very good. Eggs, fruit, the best croissants.
Everything about the hotel we liked. The only set back was that there were't any restaurants near by.
Everyone was very helpful, especially Favio.

“Very central location and quiet rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2010

Nice hotel, quiet, and nice junior suite. Near Coliseum and other amenities. Perhaps they can offer a free Wi-Fi. Bit expensive Restaurant Menu. Otherwise , perfect place to stay and highly recommended.

“Excellent stay”

Have just returned home after four days in Rome. The stay at Kolbe hotel was almost perfect - excellent location, friendly staff and clean rooms. We especially enjoyed sitting outside in the garden under the beautiful orange trees sipping coffee, relaxing after a long day of walking all over Rome.
We were first given a quite dark room below the ground level, but when we asked for a new room, we were promtly given a room on the first floor. A much better choice for us as it had a little bit of view to the back garden.
The only thing we didn't enjoy was the quite hard madresses and the thin sheets on the beds. We are used to softer madrasses and duvets, but realize that this is not too common in southerns parts of Europe.
The location of the hotel was great, even though we had to walk for 15 minutes to find restaurants nearby. However, the dinner we ate at the hotel was tasty with good wine and comfortable surroundings.
We hope to return to this hotel and will recommend our friends to stay at the Kolbe hotel when in Rome.

“Incredible Stay”

I have to say that this Hotel is one of my favourite. I can only think that this is my Top 2.
We stay for 3 nights in one of the Junior Suites with an incredible space, jacuzzi, 2 flat TVs, very big and comfortable bed with an massive window. Very clean, all very organized and very helpful staff, they were very polite. They sure care about their guest. The breakfast was great with several options and very fresh fruits. Love the coffee Latte that you can prepare yourself as you like it. We had complementaries drinks one we checked in. Close to bus stops and 20mins walking to Coliseum, also if you don't mind walking, around 25mins to Via del Corso with loads of shops and restaurants. We had dinner in the Hotel and the Lasagne was beautiful
Great Hotel, Great staff, Great location and Great Food.
Very Well Recommended
