It's difficult to find a moderately priced hotel in Rome but this place is it. The hotel sits at the end of a small, short alley. As we were in Rome during a time when A/C is not used the road and outside noise that can keep you awake is nil. The English speaking desk staff is competent, quick and helpful with tour tickets, car to the airport (50 euros) and restaurants. It is about 8-10 minutes walk fro mthe Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Venezia.
Seafood Restaurant in walking distance: Corte del Grillo osteria. Fish was fresh and the English speaking staff customized our meal to what we want and how much. Reasonable, too.

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!

We just got back from our trip to Italy, one of our stays was in Rome at the Hotel Bolivar (Comfort Inn) in Rome. We were there for 4 nights. The staff was fantastic, always willing to help with any questions, friendly, and knowledgable. The room was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, local to all the sights, and it was easy to walk to all the sites, except the vactican but there is the bus at the corner which can take you there and anywhere else you wanted to go. It is not far from the Train station either. The breakfast was great, cereal, eggs, ham, cheese, crossants, etc. I would definately stay there again.

We've stayed in this hotel with my boyfriend on our last trip in Rome and i have to say that we were very satisfied from the stay. The hotel is in a very good position, in the center of Rome near the Termini station and near to all the important turistic sites. The room was very comfortable and very clean. The personal is kind and available to provide any information u need. I highly recommend it !!
