Comfort Hotel Bolivar in Rome

We werden zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam ontvangen door Vincenzo, waarbij info over restaurants en de stad werden uitgewisseld. De ligging is zoals ze zeggen "on a quiet place". Je ziet het hotel niet vanop de hoofdbaan, maar je wandelt een klein steegje in en zo kom je er..... De ligging is ideaal aangezien je vandaar op wandelafstand heel wat bezienswaardigheden […] tegenkomt (als je graag wandelt zoals wij). Het ontbijtbuffet was eveneens grandioos, met ruime keuze uit broodjes, ontbijtgranen, koffie, thee, fruitsap,.....teveel om op te noemen. Een woordje van appreciatie voor de dame die het ontbijtbuffet beheert : proficiat ! Wat iets tegenviel was de badkamer, waar het badwater niet warmer dan lauw werd, maar verder was deze zeer goed onderhouden. Zeer fijn was ook de kluis op de kamer, zo goed verstopt dat je eerst wat moet zoeken om ze te vinden.... Blijft nog te zeggen dat de hotelbalie, trouwens dag en nacht open, een plek is waar je alles kan vragen....met bijzondere dank aan Vincenzo, dewelke voeling heeft met de klanten (kan iets minder gezegd worden over zijn collega's maar goed). Vincenzo, vraag opslag ! Zeker een aanrader, en als we ooit teruggaan naar Rome, is Hotel Bolivar prioriteit ! Lees meer

During our five night stay, we were happy with this hotel because the staff was, overall, quite friendly and helpful and the location is unbeatable. The breakfast buffet was very good and is served on a rooftop location with nice views. We would recommend that you insist on a room above the ground floor. As noted in other reviews of this hotel, some […] rooms on the ground floor are simply in an unacceptable condition. To their credit, the staff was responsive to our complaints when we were placed in one. The hotel would be well served to convert these rooms into an expanded public space, since the lobby is of limited dimensions and it is difficult to imagine an American guest finding such a room acceptable for the price. That said, this is, overall, a great hotel that offers many of Rome's most attractive destinations within walking distance. A lovely restaurant is situated across the courtyard from the hotel, and another that features very acceptable pasta dishes and pizza for reasonable prices is only five steps further away. Highly recommended, if you get an acceptable room. Lees meer

Fantastic location for a sightseeing visit to Rome, with a decent spread at breakfast. Unfortunately the hotel was very dated and noisy. The staff were friendly and helpful, however the bar never seemed to be open. On check-out we felt the lack of drink pricing clarity had left us with a 20euro bill for two drinks at the bar. The hotel is rated as 4star […] by expedia, however I would say that 2-3 is more accurate. Despite the hotel sign saying 3star outside, the rome city tax is priced as 3euro pppn not the 2euro it should be for 3 star hotels. Having said that, we did enjoy our stay in rome greatly, and the location of the hotel was perfect. The old style of the hotel was not to our taste (as a young couple). Lees meer

This hotel was an absolute disgrace!! We had booked it over the internet (a big mistake) thinking that we were booking a quality four star hotel and instead got a totally substandard dirty hovel of a hotel. We picked up the key and were directed to the first floor next to a room with a yapping dog!! We immediately realised that this hotel was going […] to be poor. We went downstairs to complain and were then directed to another room on the same cramped floor just a few doors away. We could still hear the yapping dog, the door to the room didnt fit properly, the room was no more than the size of a shoebox, dark, dank and extremely dirty. We were so disappointed. There was no tea or coffee making facilities no fridge. The bathrooms was small and smelt of bad drains, there were a few unappealing soaps on the small old sink unit. No separate shower just a shower head that didnt work properly. Tepid water. The rooms was below standard and reminiscent of dirty budget hostel. The whole hotel felt run down and in disrepair. Totally disappointing, would not recommend this hotel at all. If you are thinking of booking this dont!! Not worth the money a complete rip-off. We paid way too much and dirty beyond belief. Very very poor!! Lees meer

Air conditioner in our room was being worked on when we arrived. We were offered a free drink while we waited a few minutes.

Rooms a little small but then again we didn't […] go to Rome to spend a great deal of time in the hotel room. The shower door was missing making it a little awkward to take a shower.

I had read mixed reviews about his hotel before booking it. Upon arrival I thought that I had made a mistake in booking it as there was an electrical problem when we arrived which meant we couldnt check in. The staff however were very friendly and explained that if they couldnt resolve the problem then they would accomodate in a sister hotel however […] the problem was resolved. Our room was plesant enough but not to a 4* standard but the friendliness of the staff made up for this. The location of the Hotel is good and there are enough bars and resteaurants in the area. There is a small resteaurant accross from the hotel which has excellent food but is quite expensive. Lees meer

Nice, quaint little hotel, on a cul-de-sac, so don't have all the traffic noise of main streets. Great location, close to many main sites, easy access to and from. Rooms and esp. bathroom a bit small, but manageable. Would stay there again (although not necessarily cheap these days given the dollar to the euro.).

We loved our stay at Hotel Bolivar. The location is excellent, being a block off a major street meant easy access to sites without the noise of the busy street. It is tucked away in a little cul-de-sac with a fantastic little restaurant across the street. The room was a little small but very comfortable, the breakfast was great with scrambled and hard […] boiled eggs, bacon, etc. We would definitely return to this hotel again. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Lees meer

A small hotel tucked away within easy walking to Trevi fountain and most other sites. If you are lucky to have a room on top floor they have small patios attached that make the room very appealing.

Teh Hotel Bolivar is located very centrally in Rome. It is on a very quiet street - really a dead end. teh rooms are very small, even by European standards. But, it was fairly clean, though it could use some updating. The staff at the front desk was helpful in recommending local restaurants.

Having looked at lots of photos of this hotel I was anticipating a room that would be of a good standard. The room we were given was ok ... functionable at best. We soon realised that all the rooms on the first floor were not of the same standard as the rooms on the other floors and that are room was probably just a standard room and the others superior. […] When we were booking we were not given a choice. The actual location of the hotel is fabulous; near to all the main sites and it is in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. The breakfast room on the roof terrace is lovely and there is plenty of choice and enough to enjoy a good breakfast. All in all, the hotel is good and I would recommend it as long as you get booked into one of the superior rooms. Lees meer

We booked the hotel with two other sets of friends so we could be in the same hotel. The hotel had some issues with power on one of the floors so they could not accommodate all of us. One of the couples were given the grossest room I've ever seen (think seedy no-tell-motel complete with stains) while two of the other rooms were re-booked into another […] hotel over a mile away. The hotel we were re-booked to was still under renovation and did not have a working elevator which might not have been bad if we were not on the 5th floor. The point of booking was to be in the neighborhood together to make meeting up for meals and tours easier. Overall, it wasn't a great experience and was very inconvenient. There was no attempt to contact us early in the day so we could make other arrangements or to move our entire group. I realize there are things beyond the hotel's control, but a little effort and an apology would have been nice. Lees meer

The hotel was well situated and appointed, but difficult to initially find as it is located on a sidestreet. But it's location within a 15 minute walk to the Colosseum and near the bus lines make it an ideal location to explore Rome. It is only a short stroll from the Trevi fountain. The concierge services were exceptional. Requests were responded […] to within minutes. The staff were extemely helpful in providing directions and assisting in arranging airport transportation. Their suggestions saved my party time and money during our trip. They were also very willing to store our luggage after check out until we were ready to depart for the airport. The buffet breakfast provided by the hotel offered a wide variety of beverages and an extensive selection ot breakfast items. All of the offerings were attractively presented and tasty. The buffet location, on the top floor of the hotel, provided an attractive and relaxing location to enjoy breakfast and start the day.. The only thing lacking was washcloths. But this seems to be the norm rather than an exception in 4 star European hotels. Lees meer

The room itself, while we were barely in it, was a little outdated and had an old room smell to it. The service was prompt and friendly but there's a hole in the middle of the foyer that I nearly broke my ankle on. The hotel is on a quiet block and is only a stone's throw away from Piazza Venezia and a 10 minute walk to the colosseum. However, it isn't […] really near any of the subway stops, but is near a few bus lines if you know how to use them. I would keep looking for another hotel. Lees meer

Hotel Bolivar was a very comfortable and relaxing hotel in the heart of Rome. It was a bit difficult to locate at first as we walked from the subway station, but being tucked away in its off the street location is what made the hotel very relaxing as there was no street noise at all. All of the must see things in Rome were within walking distance. Just […] around the corner was a nice Irish Pub that had many different draft beers and was also very relaxing (Corks Inn & Pub). The room was comfortable, with good air conditioning. Bathroom had a tub and shower, but was a little tight, otherwise all was good. Breakfast was on the top floor and had a good view. Breakfast was typical European, with breads, cheeses, ham/salami and cereals, the coffee was hot & good. Lees meer

Although a little confusing to find at first, the hotel was really well situated - between ancient Roman sights Trevi fountain. It was quaint and small with very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good up in the dining room on the 3rd floor. The rooms were small, but clean and air-conditioned, and the bed was comfortable. The only negative was […] the bathroom which was really small and old with dodgy plumbing - but we were told that they are in the process of upgrading and after peeking into one of the new rooms they definitely have been improved.

The hotel would have been difficult to find without booking the airport shuttle, which is considerably cheaper than any other method of reaching the hotel. the hotel was clean and beautifully decorated with marble and gold everywhere Our bedroom was beautiful and on the ground floor because of my bad knee. The bathroom was more than adequate though […] the plumbing left a bit to be desired. The location was superb for access to the colloseum and the Trevi Fountain and the open topped tour busses pick up just around the corner. The tour busses run every day from 9 till 9 and take a different route on sundays So if you buy a 48hour ticket and include sunday you will get the best value. Overall a great trip but not reccomended for anyone with duff knees of feet. You finish up crippled. Lees meer

The hotel is located in a small alley in the heart of Rome. At first the alley setting was somewhat unappealing but the alley itself was clean and safe and sequesters the hotel away from the street noise. There is a quaint restaurant directly across from the hotel in the same alley. The bathroom fixtures in our room (#101) needed updating but otherwise […] the room and bed were clean and comfortable. Our daughter slept on a sofa bed in the same room. Complimentary breakfast (scrambled eggs, pastry, fresh fruit, etc) is offered daily in a third floor room with breathtaking views of the city. The hotel is centrally located and is a short (<0.5 mi) walk to major attractions and the subway and seeing the vatican and coliseum, the imperial senate, the vatican and a few other ruins in the same day was possible. The staff was friendly and helpful and arranged a car to the airport for us that was less than the prevailing taxi rate. I highly recommend the Hotel Bolivar. Lees meer

This hotel was extremely well located, close to all the tourist attractions. The hotel was located down a quiet road.

Breakfast was adequate, not superb but fine. The room […] was clean and bigger than most hotels in Rome. Because of the location and room size, I would recommend this hotel.

Hotel Bolivar was what we expected from previous reviews - I would say, a diamond in rough! It certainly was a gem of a location, you can walk to most sites of interest, and Peter (Hotel Manager) was the man who knew everything. The rooms could do with a facelift, but we weren’t in them long enough to worry………...go see Rome!! Couple in 70s and 80s

Having been advised by a friend to spend a little extra on a hotel in Rome in order to get closer to the centre, and a bit more comfort, I wasn't disappointed with choosing Hotel Bolivar. On arrival, we had to wait about 20 minutes or so while they got our room ready, but we were about 4 hours earlier than the allowed check-in time, so 20 minutes wasn't […] going to put us out! The room was small, but clean (important), and I have to agree with some other travellers about the shower curtain, having to try and not create a swimming pool when you're showering is a little challenging! Breakfast was absolutely fine - standard continental buffet, but lots of food to be had, and the view from the breakfast room itself on the top floor was superb, worth 2 of the star rating alone. You're within walking distance of nearly everything - 5 minutes to Roman Forum, 7-8 minutes to Trevi Fountain & on to Spanish Steps, shopping, restaurants, museums. There's a really nice restaurant just down the way from the hotel as well, off a side street to the right of Via Nazionale as you're heading down the hill. Lovely food, great espresso's! If you're looking for 5-star plush setting, Hotel Bolivar may not be the place for you. But if you're looking for somewhere central, with clean, comfortable rooms, and heplful and friendly staff (who couldn't help us enough when asked), then I would definitely recommend Hotel Bolivar.
