We enjoyed a four night stay at the Kolbe in Rome. Our room was on the fourth floor overlooking the ruins surrounding the Circus Maximus and Colliseum. It's a short walk to the underground and many restaurants. The breakfast served each morning is first rate. The room is simple, clean and comfortable. The location is not central but in an interesting area for those who would like to walk through the ruins.

We booked the Kolbe Hotel Rome after reading other reviews. We planned to stay 4 nights but checked out after just 3. Upon our arrival we were subjected to the usual trick by some European Hotels of offering us the worst room in the Hotel first, it had no view, other than the kitchen yard, was very small and had plaster missing from around the door frame. After complaining we were offered another larger room with a view of the Gardens and was perfectly acceptable. Several requests were made of the Front Desk staff during our stay all of which where ignored until chased up. They seemed to be short staffed and busy training new staff. The only decent service provided was by Elena the rest did not seem interested. The location was good but the Hotel had no atmosphere whatsoever, the Bar closed at 11pm and we hardly saw any other guests in there anyway. We had an early checkout and wished to place an alarm call, the young man on the Front desk who took our call hung up on us before we had chance to request a continental breakfast for 6.30am as the Restaurant did not open until 7am. So we rang back again and he very casually said no problem and hung up again, sure enough when we presented ourselves at 6.30am for the continental breakfast he had failed to pass this message through to the Kitchen Staff who told us nothing could be prepared. All in all a clean modern 4 star Hotel in a excellent location for all the City of Rome sites but let down by poor staff.

I went for holidays to Rome with my mother. It is hard to say in one sentence how happy we were after our holidays at KHR. Everything was so perfect. Great location, beautiful hotel sides, wonderful views from the hotel window... Excellent staff and their service! That was a special occasion for my mother and the stay was some kind of a gift. I contacted Kathrin and she put a lot of efforts to make it wonderful. We got a lovely and so clean room and Alessia from the restaurant with her very professional team made sure that our stay was also very tasty! ;) Reception staff was very friendly and helpful! We also had a massage session... That was just a great end of our journey. Francesco was very friendly and professional as well. We just loved the place and people working there! We will definitely come back to KHR!

I appologise for the lateness of my review. I stayed at this hotel in November 2008 for 4 nights. For a city hotel the room was very spacious with everything you could require in a bathroom suplied on a daily basis if required. The breakfast was plentiful and the staff very helpfull. We had a courtyard room and even in mid November could leave the window open at night with no noise. The hotel is only a short walk from most of the main sites of interest. Restaurants are further away but still not a problem. The hotel reception sorted out a day trip to Naples and Pompeii. A trip to remember. All in all a great hotel in a good location. I tend never to go to the same hotel more than once but would happily stay here again.
