The heart of Ancient Rome, all roads led to the Forum. Visitors flock here to walk the streets where Julius Caesar once trod when this was the centre of commercial, political and judicial life. Nearby, the Colosseum, described by Lord Byron as 'the gladiators' bloody circus', is the world's most famous amphitheatre and the most impressive of all Rome's buildings and ruins.

"Hotel Bolivar, great location, wonderful staff"
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. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Bolivar, Rome"
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.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Bolivar"
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. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"solid hotel, great location"
Great hotel, location, rooms. Exceeded expectations. If coming by taxi have a printout of location as some cabs have trouble finding the place (despite it being only 100 yards off a busy street). Location good as walk to Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Colliseum, etc...Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location well kept small hotel"
Small hotel located on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. It was accessible to the major attraction sights. We felt safe walking back from the Trevi Fountain at night. The building was old but well maintained, the room was small as expected but very clean. The beds were comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast room had a nice […] roof top view and the food was amazing. We will stay there again if we go back to Rome. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location!"
We were staying in Rome for only one night after 2 weeks in Sorrento. The person at the front desk was great helping us to find a few of the important sights to see in Rome before our departure the next day as well as helping us find a good place for dinner. The room was small and clean. Breakfast was ok, not great but sufficient. We would stay there […] again. EXCELLENT location. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Bolivar, Rome Italy"
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. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Couple in 70s and 80s"
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 80sGenuine Hotels.com guest review

First time in Rome I was apprehensive and when the cab pulled up in an alley and the driver said thats it, i felt ill but this quaint lttle hotel was so warm and inviting it was a joy to stay there, from the conceirge to the house maid and the brakfast lady they were brilliant the breakfast was great sittting on the roof top breakfast room surrounded […] by history was such a thrill. The rooms probably by Australian standards were small but we only slept there because your in ROME, it was comfortable clean well heated , bathroom was great, everything was great Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bolivar Hotel, Rome"
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.

"A Very well hidden Roman Gem"
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. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Hotellet ligger veldig fint til med gangavstand til det meste av severdigheter i Roma. Dette var mitt andre opphold på hotellet, kommer gjerne igjen. Hyggelig betjening. God frokost.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

God service Tæt på seværdigheder Tæt på restauranterGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Gangavstand til "alt""
Flott hotell med stille og rolig beliggenhet midt i "smørøyet" av Roma. Colosseum ligger bare 10 minutters gange fra hotellet, Trevi-fontenen ca. 8 minutter, Spansketrappen ca. 1o minutter osv. Av severdighetene vi besøkte, så lå Vatikanet lengst unna, ca. 45-50 minutters gange. Hotellet anbefales på det sterkeste.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Prisvärt hotell i kanonläge"
Vi valde medvetet ett lite billigare hotell i Rom eftersom våra intensioner med resan var att se så mycket som möjligt av Rom i dagarna tre och inte tillbringa jättemycket tid på hotellet. Hotellets läge är absolut perfekt. Man bor i stort sett mitt emellan Piazza Venezia och Fontana di Trevi och har gångavstånd till alla "viktiga" sevärdheter. Priset […] är helt OK i förhållande till vad man får. Hotellet ligger i en liten "gränd" och man störs inte av trafiken. Personalen hade vi inte så mycket att göra med, men de gav ett trevligt intryck. En liten detalj är att hotellet lånar ut paraplyer till sina gäster, vilket är mycket användbart vid dåligt väder och så slipper man ta med sig dessa hemifrån lr bli jagad av envisa paraplyförsäljare. Frukosten är enkel, men absolut helt OK. Kaffe, te, ljust bröd och 4-5 varianter av pålägg, croissanter, Youghurt, müsli, ägg, bacon och juice. (har kanske missat något) Om något år ska jag och hustrun tillbaka till Rom och då kommer vi definitivt att välja samma hotell. Michael o Agnetha Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Bolivar Rome, een plek om weer te keren"
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 ! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Glimrende centralt hotel"
Hotel Bolivar er et ganske glimrende hotel, der ligger så centralt i Rom, som du overhovedet kan komme. Du kan gå til Colosseum, Forum Romanum, Piazza Venezia eller en af de andre seværdigheder i Rom, og alligevel kan man trække sig tilbage i en lille hyggelig sidegade, hvor man slipper for støj fra byen. Hotellet var dejligt, og servicen var langt […] over den frygtede italienske standard. Især var morgenmaden en positiv overraskelse. For danske maver er en italiensk morgenmad normalt meget utilstrækkelig (som regel bestående af en espresso og en sød croissant), men på Bolivar var der en glimrende og velassorteret morgenmadsbuffet. Værelserne var ikke store, men de var rummeligt indrettet, så det føltes på ingen måde trangt. Sengene var behagelige, der var fin plads på badeværelse, og rengøring, tv og anden service var upåklagelig. Helt uhørt godt for et hotel i Bolivars relativt beskedne prisleje. Kan i højeste grad anbefales - jeg kommer i hvert fald igen! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Rigtig centralt og hyggeligt hotel"
Ligger dejligt centralt trukket lidt tilbage fra større gader. Hotellet har en hyggelig morgenmads stue på toppen af bygningen med udsigt ud over byens tage. Vi boede på et familie rum med en opredning til 2 børn (6 og 9 år) og det virkede rigtig fint.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
