Stop browsing this is the one. Spent at least 10 hours online so you don't have to. Firstly the Hotel's website has the best rates (I got a double en suite for 102 euros a night with seasonal discount). Great location, at foot of Palatino Hill, 2 minutes from The Tiber and Trastevere (nice restaurants bars etc) and only 10... more

This review comes a little late as we stayed at the Kolbe Hotel in August 2008. I went with my mother and sister and found the Kolbe on Hotels.com. I was not disappointed. It was quiet for the time of year but better so we didn't have to deal with any large crowds. The hotel is beautiful as seen in... more

Despite the late arrival the staff at the reception were very friendly and even opened the (already closed) bar for us to have a drink. Due to the extreme bad weather the day before our arrival we were confronted with a leakage in the room and an annoying drip during the first night. We were offered a new, and more... more

A great hotel, in a great location. As you come out of the front door, you have the Plantino, and behind the hotel, it has its own garden, so its quiet at night.(this is a problem for many hotels) Breakfast is included in the rate, and on a sunny day, you can sit on the terrace to eat it.

We ended our 12 day trip to Italy with two nights at the Kolbe in Rome. What attracted us to the property was: (1) proximity to ancient Rome, (2) great scores at TripAdvisor.com, (3) the novelty of staying in a renovated convent. Price was important, but, in the end, we found everything is pricey in Rome! Getting there was no... more

Newly modernised traditional building close to the river and the forum which was a little difficult to find in the dark for the first time but, because it was well off the main streets, was quiet and a good haven after a hard day "Roaming"! A lovely garden, reasonable bar and restaurant, extremely clean rooms, very helpful staff. Early mastery... more

My boyfriend and I paid a flying visit to Rome earlier this month - we were only there for 3 days and wanted to make the most of our time there. After carefully researching potential hotels on Trip Advisor we decided on Kolbe Hotel and were not disappointed. Though located to the rear of the Forum it was incredibly peaceful... more

We have just returned from a 3-night stay in a Junior Suite at the Kolbe and have had a thoroughly fantastic experience. I spent more hours than I care to mention picking a hotel in Rome after having had a recent bad TripAdvisor 'over-rating' experience in the Caribbean, but, suffice to say this hotel has put my faith back into... more
