We just returned from 3 nights at the Hotel Bolivar. The location was fantastic, you can walk to most of the sights in Rome: the Colseium, Trevi Fountain and we even walked back from Easter Mass at St. Peter's Square. The staff were very helpful in answering questions, providing a clean room and serving a wonderful breakfast. We used hotel points for our stay. Our room was basic, clean and everything was in working order. I read the previous review and while I can understand disappointment when the room does not look like what is pictured, it's been my experience that expectations regarding star ratings for rooms in Europe can differ greatly from room ratings in the US. I.E., a five star in Europe probably will not be considered a 5 star in the US. I typically spend a few days in a city and want to explore. I love being able to walk out my door and go to sights quickly and easily and not have the hassle of additional transportation to and from. In this senario, in European cities, where you are very near the attractions (and in a safe area), I find that I typically give up room size and some ammenities and that often times with the star rating, that location is taken into account. Our stay at the Hotel Bolivar allowed us to experience all of Rome, right out our front door. I would go back in a heart beat!
