KOLBE HOTEL ROME

just in front of the Palatine, at walking distance from Circo maximo, Colosseum, Forum Romanum, , and a nice wlak you can reach the spanish steps or the trevi fountain. The internal garden is an oasis of peace. WE enjoyed our stay.

Located on a back street with the Roman Forum just across the street. The entrance to the Forum is a bit of a walk but easy, take a right out of the hotel, then a left on the street across from the Circus Maximus then left again. Get there early in peak season to avoid both the heat and the lines. Take a bottle of water with you. You can also explore Circus Maximus and several other ruins along your way to the Forum. Just past the entrance to the Forum is the Colosseum . Again, go early to avoid long lines. If you turn right out of the hotel, then right again, wind your way over to the river, cross it, and you will enjoy the quaint small streets of Trastevere. Many great little restaurants to select from. And gelato!! Some of our favorites include Anima Mundi just steps from the hotel, Sora Lella on the little island as you cross the river, and Alembic in Trastevere. You will find all areas easy to walk to from this hotel. We did take Uber one day and found it very easy to use. We also took the Metro which is across from Circus Maximus. 1.50 Euro each way per person. The breakfast at the hotel was OK. We passed most mornings and preferred to grab a cappuccino and pastry at a cute hole in the wall while out walking. Service is not overly friendly but sufficient at the hotel. Enjoy!

Lovely experience at this hotel. Just hidden away in a quiet road in Rome. Perfect for those who want peace and quiet after a long day of travelling! Suitable distance from the station 'Circo Massimo' which goes to most attractions or 'Termini' station which is a bigger station. Very polite staff and great service! Our room was always cleaned by the time we got back and it was the best! Thank you Kolbe Hotel !

The hotel is understated from the exterior but the rooms are big enough to give an American family of four plenty of space. The beds are so good we are trying to find one for our home and the breakfast is very tasty. With all of that being said, the fifth star was given only because of the impeccable service we received from Mauricio. He was kind, courteous and treated us like visiting family members he was happy to see. He made a great experience into a grand one!

We visited the Kolbe as non-residents for an al fresco, early evening aperitivo followed by dinner. The garden bar/dining area is a little-known, enchanting green oasis, which becomes even more magical as night falls and the lights on the centuries-old olive trees are switched on, illuminating the garden and its greenery. At the bottom of the garden was the protective statue of St Francis. We lingered in this calming environment and savoured a refreshing cocktail followed by a delicious fish dinner accompanied by a great northern Italian white wine. A truly memorable evening and a pleasurable escape from the heat and dynamics of the Roman summer.
