Nice, old style hotel in the real heart of Lima. And actual its location and style (end of XIX I think - also the rooms) was what I liked the most. It makes your visit to Lima more.. exotic. Bathroom – also old style - looked nice but I would expect better shower and some A/C. As mentioned - street... More

I visited this hotel on a stop-over from Amsterdam to Santiago de Chile. It truly is a grand hotel, from the glass dome that you enter the hotel through, to the Ford Model T, natural stone hallways and restaurant. Yes, the hotel might be past its prime a bit, but my room was very classy (wooden flooring, the hotel initials... More

My husband and I enjoyed our one night stay at Gran Hotel Bolivar. Our room was clean and charming. We both agreed it felt like we were staying the night on the Titanic because it was unchanged in its decor which we loved. We anticipated this due to other negative posts about the lack of updating the hotel provided, however... More

This hotel is very impressive visually. The service was average from all staff and the check in process was quite slow. They asked if we wanted a room with a view, we assumed a view of the beautiful plaza but instead got a view of an ugly building over the road. Definitely ask for an inside room to avoid the... More

Beautiful grand old Hotel, lost in a time warp. Great central location, clean, helpful staff and good WIFI. The bed was very hard. Breakfast was simple nice bread and coffee. Had a central room so was quiet. Shops, restaurants and banks near. 30 minutes from the airport. Excellent value. More

We liked the Hotel for the History related to this building. The Hotel is really big, with long corridors and so many rooms. It has a particular charm. The personnal is correct. The doorman is really nice. The rooms are big, but they are not "uptodate". The principal goal for us was to know this historical Hotel, in a very... More

Truly a Grande Dame ! and not so dowdy, either . I didn't find this hotel to be nearly as worn and frayed as some other reviews have said. I thought it had a charm that's hard to find anymore with all of the "McLuxury" around, and I think it would be a shame if they thought they had to... More

Gran Hotel Bolivar is a charming hotel. Location is near central square. Has lots of good restaurants and shopping nearby. Facilities has seen better days, and is probably due for an overhaul renovation. Nevertheless, it is basic and clean. Staff are decent. More
