Many times Tripadvisor was a competent advisor for me, but I’m so lazy traveler to write here…ou! Now in frosty Moscow days I remember my warm trip to Italy in deep autumn days 2011. Travelling with friend, we spend only 2 days in capital city, but after all we know the next objective for our holidays – Roma! And his... More

We just spent three nights in Hotel Bolivar, Rome and I - we all - can highly recommend this hotel!! We booked the rooms directly on the internet and got a nice reduction as early bookings - the offer was very good - and I recommend to have a look on the offers -site. As we needed two rooms for...

Hidden in a back-street, like all gems should be, some of the surrounding atmosphere may be odorous but that's how it is in traditional authentic locations. Management full of enthusiasm and assistance, all the sights and sounds nearby or pleasant walks, no bother getting transport when needed. And a spectacular breakfast on the roof-terrace. More

We stayed for three nights in October. The location is ideal. An easy to find place by bus from the train station. You can walk, or take the bus to anywhere in Rome from this prime location. The Hotel itself is located in an alley, so the noise is not coming from outside the hotel, but rather the inside. We... More

In reading other recent reviews, I'm glad to hear that there are two sections to this hotel. We were definitely assigned to the "old, run down" section of the hotel (we had the huge brass key rather than the key card that was mentioned in another review so if you receive a key at your check-in do NOT leave the...

The rooms are very small and nothing special. The pictures on the hotel's main web page make it look like a beautiful, old-European-style hotel. Not so much in person. No free wi-fi. They make you pay for it in the lobby--only a half hour at a time. Rooms were falling apart. It's older and set back into an alley. Really... More

I think my room was in the old section which certainly wasn't depicted in the hotel's publicity pics. The newer rooms I noticed had card keys while mine was a traditional one. The wall safe couldn't be accessed and the exhaust fan/lights didn't work in the bath room. The men at reception were unhelpful, rude-one even threw my key down... More

The location, service and ambiance was great. The location puts you right in the center of Roma, within walking distance of the main tourist destinations and amazing restaurants. We walked every where except the Vatican because of time. The staff was very helpful and the room was good. The room was small for 4 of us but, everything was clean,... More

Our room was dingy, had very, very old wallpaper and matching bedspread, can't imagine how long has been on the bed, the bed legs broken, lights went out in bathroom when taking a shower, sink didn't drain, hairdryer was taped together, t.v. didn't work, couldn't fix and didn't replace. I aksed for cotton blankets to replace the very old wool... More
