We stayed at the Kolbe Hotel from the 8th to 12th June 2009. We booked it on the bass of trip advisor reviews and were not disappointed! The location is perfect, on the edge of the Forum, nowhere was too far to walk (even for me being 6 months pregnant). it is 2 minutes from Piazza Venizia and the Colosseum is less than a 5 minute walk. We were delighted with the location.
The staff were all friendly, helpful and polite. The hotel itself it clean, well kept and has a lovely garden and terrace to sit at outside.
The room was fantastic. A very large size for a capital city with great air con (it was 30 degrees and we needed it!) with a large, comfortable bed, great bathroom and all was very clean and brand new looking.
the breakfast was excellent, a full selection of pastries cooked fresh, fruits, bacon and eggs, breads and toast, hams and cheeses and pretty much anything you might want. Even better as the outside terrace to enjoy breakfast in the beautiful gardens.
IF you are after a centrally located, comfortable hotel with lovely modern rooms, then this hotel is perfect! i can't stress enough how much we enjoyed our stay.

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!
