My husband and I stayed in the Kolbe from 27th to 30th October we went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and was not disappointed. It was a lovely quiet hotel with a beautiful clean room and everything you could want (apart from tea making in room but that is common in Europe). All the staff spoke English well and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was a large buffet which had e veryting from bason & eggs to danish pastries and fruit - something for everybody. We didn't eat in the Hotel but only because the timing wasn't right. If you walk about 10 mins there are restaurants which will cater for everybody. Staff at the front desk helped book trips, taxis and also allowed us to print off our boarding passes for flight home. I couldn't recommend this hotel more and we would definately go back there again when visiting Rome.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Kolbe during our holiday in beautiful Rome. We had planned to stay in close proximity to the ancient ruins so the hotel was an ideal base for our day long excursions. The hotel is located beside Palatine Hill/Roman Forum and is a 5-10 min walk to the entry of either location. The Colosseum, Circus Maximus and the Mouht of Truth are of equal distance away.

The hotel itself is beautifully presented and the rooms are very comfortable. It was nice to begin each day with breakfast outside in the hotel garden. Breakfast was excellent with a great variety of food. The pastries they served were probably the best we had during our trip in italy.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. All staff members we dealt with spokle English well.

We ate at the hotel restaurant a number of times as by the day's end we were too tired to walk to any nearby restaurants. The food was excellent, yet the menu was quite limited. There are a few restaurants down the road and many more in Piazza Campitelli and the jewish area which are no more than a 10-15 min walk. If you are a little more adventurous you can take a stroll over to Trastevere (10-20 mins).

There are a few small stores/deli around the corner from the hotel which were very useful .

I definitely recommend this hotel for those people who want to stay in a quiet and relaxing part of Rome, whilst being close to the ancient monuments rather than the piazza's etc. If you like to walk and explore the city you are visiting this is the hotel for you. A 10-20 min walk will lead you to all the sights, restaurants and amenities you need whilst in Rome.

We spent 3 nights at the Kolbe. The staff was amazing, the rooms were wonderful. Best of all there are several delightful restaurants around the corner to accomodate either lunch and dinner. Our only small issue was that the beds were slightly hard...but then again, it's not home. We loved the quiet and the proximity to the Roman Forum. We highly recommend the Kolbe. It's delightful!

At first, we were very angry at the hotel front desk because we paid for a superior room and they gave us a standard one. After changing rooms twice, everything was perfect. Good breakfast, elegant and friendly staff, confortable room and good location make this hotel a good choice in Rome. The neighboorhood is quite confusing to locate yourself as a tourist, but after one or two days, you find anything you want.
