What guests think

Kolbe Hotel Rome earns strong praise for its superb location by the Roman Forum and Colosseum, friendly and helpful staff, and a peaceful garden courtyard, with many guests highlighting an excellent breakfast and overall clean, comfortable stays.

Rooms vary in size, with some very spacious for families but others small, and several reviews note tight showers, dated bathrooms, very firm beds or thin pillows, and occasional noise. A few guests mentioned maintenance issues, intermittent AC quirks, or lapses like a missed wake-up call, and nearby street works occasionally complicated access. Expect a welcoming, well-situated base for exploring ancient Rome.

The room was immaculate, the lobby and garden unique and inviting, and the staff were superior. It was the finest stay my family has enjoyed at a European hotel. And I would imagine one would have a harder time finding a hotel better located to enjoy the Forum/Coliseum complex.

Hotellet ligger bra (nära centrum) och frukost var en 3:a. Mycket sötsaker, mindre nyttiga alternativ. Vi fick ingen rabatt på drinkar/mat, trots att bokningen sade det. Minibaren var nästan tom vid ankomst , 2öl. Vi saknade mineralvatten. Hotel baren gjorde fruktansvärt dåliga drinkar, de gick inte att dricka. Personalen var trevlig. Jag skulle klassa det som 3-stjärnor. Lite sunkig heltäckande matta.

Loved this property! It was located in a quieter area of Rome close to Circus Maximus and ~15 minute walk to the Colosseum & ~15 minute walk to Capitolone Hill. On Saturdays, the mercato ~1-2 minute walk from the hotel is open & has fresh meats, cheeses, breads, & flowers. The courtyard of the hotel is very beautiful with orange trees & parakeets eating the oranges. The room & bathroom were spacious. Would recommend staying here!

The staff is convivial and are more then willing to provide helpful information and reservation as needed additionally housekeeping was more then prompt and efficient; that is were the 5 star stops. The room is quite small and parochial which includes the bathroom; I bumped my elbow on several occasions simply trying to shower in the confined space. It is obviously an older building so a noise barrier in the form of insulation doesn't exist; most conversations and vehicle traffic carry on until 0200 - 0300 every night in June at times I got the impression I was sleeping on the street as the ambient noise was so apparent. Free breakfast a plus. Bar is egregious overpriced, 24 Euros for 2 apple spritzers, they are 5 euros everywhere else. No nearby grocery store or pharmacy within 15 minutes walk however, hotel is centrally located to major points of interest: Colosseum is 15 minute walk, Trevi fountain is 20 minute walk, and Spanish steps are 25 minute walk. I was hoping for more from this hotel after reading multiple reviews from various critics and unfortunately feel this is simply an average hotel and nothing more.

Our trip to Italy ended on a sour note due to a terrible hotel experience. We were given a noisy ground-floor room across from the bar. The major issue was the bathroom flooding because the shower didn't drain properly. Despite reporting it to Marco and being assured it was fixed, the problem persisted, creating a dangerous situation in what was supposed to be an accessible room. The hotel did not offer us another room or try to improve our stay. The only positives were the breakfast and location. Marco’s customer service was poor, and he even made a dinner reservation for us that didn’t exist, leading to an awkward situation at the restaurant. Overall, we were very disappointed.

The Kolbe Hotel in Rome was our favorite hotel during our recent trip to Italy! It was in a great location outside of the Roman Forum which we could see from the window in our room and in walking distance to many of the historic sites in Rome. The Hotel was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfasts were amazing and a must. Great courtyard to have a glass of wine after a long day of sightseeing. We will definitely be back!

Best thing about this hotel is the location. Absolutely perfect if you want to see ancient Rome, and the most famous sites. Most of them are within a short walk. Even the sites that require a taxi, aren't far away. The neighborhood is relatively quiet as well. Breakfast was good, fresh and plentiful. Dinner options were excellent as well. No lunch options, unfortunately. Beautifully manicured gardens and grounds, and fine building over all. The staff were super friendly and helpful, too. My complaints are minor, except one. Firstly, my refrigerator was tiny, and never got very cold. With no ice machines in the building, you had to always be asking for a bucket of ice for your room. The television, while nice, only had one or two channels in English, and both of them were news channels, no movies. Also had one waiter that was a little rough, and I felt rushed when being around him. Again, these things are very minor compared to everything else. The one thing that really angered me, was that I asked for a wake up call at 6am, to catch an early flight. My phone's alarm is not very good. They never gave me the wake up cal!! I was furious!! I still made the flight, but with no time to spare. That fact alone, is keeping me from giving a better rating. Would I still recommend them, yes I would, but I would advise bringing your own alarm clock!

This was our third trip to the property. We love it because of it's location in the middle of ancient Rome, next to the Palatine and Circus Maximus and close to the Forum. The rooms are of a decent size , but looking a little dated - the bathrooms in particular. Service was variable. The team a breakfast worked hard to ensure that food was replaced particularly after a tour party had left the restaurant. Service at dinner and in the bar was more variable and depended on the staff on duty.

Only suggestion I would include is that Metro a bit of a walk for older people but, taxi service worth the extra expense although pretty inexpensive. Several great restaurants within walking distance.Would definitely recommend!!
