    When we got to the hotel they immediately made a poor impression as they did not even offer to carry our bags to our rooms.

Instead of waiting for us to select a different drink or suggesting something, he just walked off immediately after saying the ingredients were unavailable...felt very rude and unattentive, especially as the drinks we were ordering were £12 euros each When we requested for a taxi to be ordered for our return to the airport, limo service was offered for a fractionally higher cost which offered a more luxurious/comfortable transfer...

    ...Upon arrival the reception staff were really friendly. The hotel lobby was lovely and ice cold water welcomed us... Aircon worked really well and also had another fan which was perfect!... Our room so far has been cleaned everyday to a high standard... Food tasted fresh and was constantly brought out when things ran out...

    ...Rooms spotless, beds comfy... Air con very effective and rooms kept cool at all times... Breakfast was absolutely lovely, good choice and variety, very fresh... Reception staff were attentive and very helpful when booking in and were available if we had any questions about locations to visit... When I went to the bar I was waiting a significant length of time before someone came to serve me... When at table and requesting drinks, didn't feel it was a very good service at all... On the first night ordered drinks at the bar which turned out to be too strong for me so asked at the table if I could have a lemonade to go with the drink... Waited 25 minutes and it didn't arrive, decided to leave my initial drink... On the second night we ordered drinks at the table and when we ordered our second, the waiter/bar tender advised they didn't have one of the ingredients required for the drink...

    Lovely service, great room with garden view, champagne surprise on Day 1. Breakfast is had egges, bacon, sweets, fruit and breads, plus wonderful coffee machine, outside tables... AC and fridge in room worked well... Work paid for the room for a week, which was terrific since it was $600 a night... But definitely worth the price I paid =)...

    ...In June, a guest at the Kolbe hotel took one of my suitcases from Rome airport by mistake. Upon realising his mistake he rang me and I asked him to try and return it to me... The reception staff who were on duty at the time were amazing by arranging for a taxi to take my suitcase to the cruise port... It also, involved several conversations with myself to ensure it arrived at the right terminal and within the tight timescale... The luggage was delivered with a few minutes to spare... Without their help I would not have been able to get my luggage in time and my cruise would have been spoilt somewhat... Although I did not stay at the hotel this kind of service is exceptional and the mark of a great hotel...

    My wife and I visited the hotel as part of a Jet2 citybreak and we were not disappointed... Arriving at the airport the hotel provided information on their website about how to get there... Train to Termini station and 3 stops on the metro... Once in the door of the hotel it is really nice... The staff were welcoming and very helpful and a porter showed us to our room... There was a bath with shower above, toilet and bidet... Breakfast was continental with a couple of coffee machines, some fruit, pastries bread etc... The hotel can organise an airport transfer which we used... €60 for a comfortable car direct to your required terminal... Possibly a few Euros dearer than a taxi but the car arrived on time and the service was ideal rather than the walk, metro, train option...

    When we got to the hotel they immediately made a poor impression as they did not even offer to carry our bags to our rooms... The breakfast was extremely poor, I found many of the pastries disgusting and I ended up just eating toast every morning... Furthermore, the WiFi cuts out every few minutes which can be incredibly infuriating...

    ...The hotel bar is situated at one end of the dining room, with no lounge area to sit, and it wasn’t possible on the evening of the first wedding for hotel guests to get a drink in the bar after 5 pm because the area was being used for the wedding! Happily, before the second wedding, a few lounge chairs and small tables were brought in, in front of the bar, so hotel guests were able to get a drink while the wedding was going on, but this was only possible because the wedding was in the garden... Perhaps the areas either side of the front entrance could be helpful in resolving this…… Having said all this, it must be added that during the whole of our stay, the staff of the hotel were brilliant... They did their very best to look after us, and tried hard to work with the limitations mentioned above... Everyone was positive, helpful, and I would particularly like to mention Juglio……who often looked after us in the dining area….although all staff were extremely professional... Finally, I was surprised not to be able to get a diet/slimline tonic from the bar, for a gin and tonic…..a real issue for diabetics visiting the hotel……and seemed unusual as these diet drinks have always been available in most countries we have visited...

    We spent five nights at this hotel it was excellent in all respects. We had a garden-facing room on the ground floor, which was very comfortable and very quiet, with a nice wide bed... The hotel was within 20 minutes' walk of all the ancient Roman sites we wanted to see, such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatinate, Pantheon and Domus Aurea... Walking everywhere is great because there are so many beautiful piazzas and buildings on the way... There were plenty of good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel... We would definitely recommend this hotel, especially if you wish to visit the best-known sites...

    We stayed at the kolbe hotel for our sons 16th birthday... The room was huge, lots of space for when we were getting ready to go out, I liked the lay out of the room, which made it feel like a separate space for our sons... The features of the room with the brick arch and high ceilings gave it the wow factor... The staff were very friendly and more than happy to meet our needs, even opening up the garden and serving drinks an hour before the bar opened... We had dinner at the hotel once and was very impressed, it was actually our best meal of the 4 day stay and reasonably priced... Located within walking distance of all of the ancient Roman landmarks including the colosseum, forum, and Palatine hill which our room over looked... It’s also not far from the city centre to see the other popular sights... I would highly recommend this hotel and would love to go back...

    ...Bottom line: a great 4 star hotel in the thick of Rome for a fair price. My wife and I stayed here for our third stop on our honeymoon across Italy... The accomodations were consistent with what you would expect for a 4 star hotel, but it overall had a very sleek feel while still comfortable... Breakfast was complementary from 7-10am, and was the best out of any of the places we stayed on the trip... Would recommend for a relatively centralized location and very nice accomodations...

In about 5 minutes from the hotel, you can either be overlooking the Forum or looking at Circus Maximus. Pretty cool!! Walk across the Tiber river to Trastevere neighborhood in about 20 minutes. Lots of nice restaurants, shopping and ambience there. Breakfast was nice....eggs, bacon, lots of pastries and good fruit selection. Felt very safe in and around this hotel and area. Very happy with this hotel.

Dear Guest, many thanks for your amazing vote and wonderful feedback. It's very kind of you to share your compliments on our hotel, central location, breakfast and surroundings. You're right, there are local police headquarters on both ends of our street and their cars pass often. In any case this is a relatively quiet area of the centre yet as you said within walking distance from the lively neighborhood of Trastevere. Thank you for having chosen our hotel for your stay in Rome and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Kolbe Hotel Rome - Marieke

A lovely hotel within walking distance of all the attractions. The staff were all really helpful and friendly and the rooms spotlessly clean. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and all very tasty. A little tip, the Anima Mundi bar/restaurant just down from the hotel does amazing food although it doesn’t have an extensive menu and is a great place for a drink with a nice vibe. Overall, I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel and will return.

Our room was right over the outdoor section of the restraunt. They turned the air conditioner off, so window open to cool the room. Cigarette smoke and noise late into the evening. The room reaked of smoke and we could not get any rest until the staff closed up and finished their cigarettes and discussions. Breakfast was the best part of the stay.

We stayed here for a long weekend for my husband's birthday - November 2023. I booked through Jet2 and chose it up as it seemed really central and had a breakfast option. We arrived at the hotel just after 12, but we're able to check in straight away despite Check in being at 4pm. I'd emailed ahead and confirmed there was a luggage room, but it was nice to be able to freshen up in our room before heading out to see the sights. The hotel is a 15 minute walk away from the Colleseum. You can catch a hop on/off bus here (GLT) but there's a closer stop on the other side of the Circus Maximus which takes you around all the stops and main sights such as the Vatican, the Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps etc. The hotel gives you a map and information for the bus. Most places are in walking distance if you dont mind 20-30 minutes walk. The Pantheon is approx 22 minutes walk away and the fountain and steps isn't much further from there. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We had a bit of difficulty finding the light switches to the bathroom but figured it out eventually. Breakfast is between 7 - 10 and is mostly continental with bacon and eggs if you want a cooked breakfast. The fruit and pastries were lovely and fresh and is constantly being topped up as it can become busy. We didn't eat at the restaurant however had we come in the summer, we may have as there's a large outdoor dining space which wasn't open. Although the days were still fairly warm, it was cold at night. We did have drinks at the bar. The bar staff were lovely and made us off menu cocktails (delicious espresso martinis). All the staff were incredibly helpful. It's very easy to get a taxi at reception and we only had to wait for a few minutes each time. The hotel is within the Aurelian walls so taxis to and from Fiumicino airport is a set rate of 50 euros. Would absolutely recommend Kolbe Hotel and would stay here again should we return to Rome. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Great service on arrival, Mahmoud (hope I have spelt correctly) was friendly and welcoming. The room was smaller than anticipated and the shower tiny!! Clean nevertheless and comfortable for a mini break. The location is perfect for sightseeing, and although plenty of tour buses, I would recommend you take really comfortable walking shoes with you. We had slow service on one night where there was a large party of men dining, all the waiting staff appeared to be behind the curtain with them. Apart from that, the breakfast was good (could do with replacing the toaster, as kept cutting out) and the choice of drinks were great, especially the Cocktails. Thank you!

You couldn’t ask for a better located and beautiful hotel. Everything was in walking distance, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was plentiful. The staff were friendly and attentive and we enjoyed the experience. There was also a market just down the street and cafes near by. If you’re travelling to Rome I highly recommend the Kolbe hotel.

Dear Annie, we thank you very much for your excellent vote and for your awesome feedback. How kind of you to share your positive experience with other travellers. Thank you for your compliments on our location, hotel, rooms, staff and breakfast. You are right, the market down the street has excellent produce from local farmers and it's also possible to have something nice to eat at lunch time. We are glad you liked it. We look forward to welcoming you again soon! Kind regards, Kolbe Hotel Rome - Marieke

The staff went out of their way to be friendly and attend to your needs, like getting me a pot of hot water even without my asking for it. Location was great, and so were the rooms, except for the bathroom which could have used a shelf to use as soap holder. I would go back to stay here again.
