Impressions
As I stepped into Kolbe Hotel Rome on a chilly winter evening with my family, the warm welcome drink instantly made us feel at home. The cozy room with twin beds, carpeted floors, and soundproofed walls ensured a peaceful stay. The Jacuzzi in the spacious bathroom was a relaxing treat after a long day of sightseeing. In the morning, we enjoyed a cup of coffee in the garden area, surrounded by lush greenery and chirping birds. The terrace offered stunning views of the historic surroundings, perfect for enjoying the complimentary breakfast from room service.
Impressed by the attention to detail, we found the room equipped with an electric kettle, mini-bar, and a flat-screen TV for entertainment. The housekeeping staff kept the room spotless, and the bathroom telephone added a touch of convenience. We made use of the tours/ticket assistance to explore the city, and the central location of the hotel made it easy to navigate. Overall, our stay at Kolbe Hotel Rome was memorable, thanks to the excellent amenities and attentive service that exceeded our expectations.
