This hotel was a pleasant surprise. The room and bathroom were small(by U.S. Standards) but very nice. Rooms were very clean.The staff in the dining area were friendly and helpful. I was on a tour,so we ate dinner in hotel for 3 nights-it was very good. The staff at the front desk were not very friendly. They seemed more aloof... More

Just came back from a four nights stay at Hotel Kolbe, Rome with my wife. Nothing needs to be added to the comments here, all is true-it's a great hotel. However, it's location isn't that great if you hate to walk a lot. Although it is located behind (east of) the Forum and Palatine Hill,it is still a 15-20 minutes... More

My husband and I stayed in the Kolbe hotel in Rome in September 2011 for our 10th wedding anniversary. We really couldn't have made a better choice, the hotel is directly opposite the ancient site of the Roman Forum and within walking distance of all the major attractions. The hotel itself is a converted convent and has a lovely feel... More

I think you have to put all hotels into context. This hotel is great for a central location, it has nice rooms which are always clean. We didn't eat in the restaurant we prefered to get out and do the back street restaurants of Rome and mix with the locals (even though our italian is rubbish/non existant) I would argue... More

I agree with other travelers that the rooms are on the small side - though ours opened onto a lovely grassy courtyard with lemon trees and a fountain. That was a nice plus that also ensured we had a very quiet room. There is no decoration on the walls and the bed is a platform bed but it was extremely... More

The Hotel is in a nice location if you want to be in ‘old’ Rome. It is very near the colosseum. It’s about a 15 -20 min walk to the trevi fountain so I wouldn’t say it was right in the centre. The nearest place to go eat is Trastervere which is about a 10 minute walk over the river.... More

I went here with my girlfriend last November, based on reviews, photos and the location we decided to stay here. Overall I was very happy with the Hotel and our stay here, it definitely surpased our expectations and we had a very reasonably priced Junior Suite which we stayed in for five nights. The hotel staff were professional and friendly,... More

Me and my girlfriend went for a long weekend away to Rome and decided to book Hotel Kolbe through Expedia. We got a good price and were even given a FREE upgrade to a suite after paying for just a standard room upgrade. The location was excellent, near The Forum ruins and the local Metro station (our form of transport)... More
