A little unsure of what we would find judging by previous reviews, but........had just been completely renovated to an extremely high standard, our room had king bed, jacuzzi body jet shower, dripping with marble, granite and wood. The bar and restaurant were opening the following week so didnt get to try them but breakfast was excellent, we normally go out... more

This is a beautiful new hotel that looks good and has the benefit of a fantastic location near the Capitoline Hill and Circus Maximus. The major bonus is that it is tucked away from the madding crowds. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. However, for a hotel that opened in December 07 still not to have the advertised... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Kolbe from the 17th to the 19th and found it was a brilliant location to see all the sites. We knew we had just little under 3 days to really see all the sites in Rome so we needed a good base. Kolbe is situated in the Southern bit of the city extremely close... more

This hotel has been very recently refurbished in a modern style and so is very clean, fresh and tidy. High ceiliings, spacious rooms and wide bright reception and dining areas. In a convenient location for the Forum, Colosseum and historic old town as well as the Trastevere. Excellent breakfast spread and kind staff. The first room we were shown to... more

My partner and I have just returned from our first visit to Rome. It was a trip we both enjoyed very much which was made all the more so by staying at such a great hotel. The location was better than anything we had expected. It was in a quite area tucked away from the madness of the Roman traffic.... more

If you like your hotel to be clean and modern with every gadget imaginable then this is the place for you. The Hotel is in the heart of ancient Rome... more

Don't read all the reviews in the guide books - they are all out of date! The Kolbe Hotel has recently been refurbished and is now a contemporary hotel in the shell of an old monastery. We found the hotel very comfortable with great bedrooms (a/c, flat screen tv and well fitted bathroom - although jacuzzi shower was a bit... more

Just returned from a stay at the Kolbe over the valentine weekend. For anyone looking for a good location then don't think twice about this hotel. Although only reachable by climbing a hill of one form or another (which many parts of Rome are like) the location really is central for many tourist spots. Just a stones throw from The... more

There are several reviews of the Casa Kolbe hotel on tripadvisor. This is the same place, but it has been through a major refurbishment and is a much better place for it. The location is superb - right alongside the Roman Forum and no more than 10 minutes' walk from the Coliseum and the Metro station at Circus Maximus. The... more
