Scene
Former private residence in 19th-century building
Comfort Hotel Bolivar is in a charming, three-story, Tuscan-yellow building with wooden shutters and gray stone corners situated on a quintessentially Roman cobblestone street. Planter boxes line the roof while potted plants and stone pillars flank the elegant entrance, which is shaded by green awnings and sits below a small balcony with wrought-iron railings. The 19th-century building was formerly a private residence. Today, the inside of the hotel has historic charm with marble floors, frescoes, and antique decor. The lobby bar has a classic feel with a wooden bottom and marbled top. Green leather club chairs provide a spot for guests to relax and enjoy a drink. Breakfast is served in a formal space with a chandelier and two layers of table linens. A large fresco covers one wall, and panoramic windows reveal views of neighboring rooftops and nearby steeples. This property is mainly popular with couples, though some families and business travelers also stay here; families in particular tend to appreciate the Standard Quadruple Rooms for four guests.
Location
In historic city center with sights, shopping, and dining all within walking distance
The Comfort Hotel Bolivar has an excellent central location in the historic district of Rome, near Quirinal Palace, the official residence of the Italian president (a three-minute walk away). It’s located in an alley with low traffic, but the surrounding area can still be quite chaotic. Trevi Fountain is within a 10-minute walk, and the Colosseum and Spanish Steps are both around a 15-minute walk. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance, and Via Nazionale, one of the main shopping streets, is within a 10-minute walk. Vatican City is around a 15-minute drive, and both the Ciampino Airport and the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport are around a 30-minute drive away.
Rooms
Smallish, pretty rooms with vintage appeal
Rooms at the hotel have a vintage feel with marble floors, white and gold bedroom sets, gilded mirrors, and chandeliers. The combination of decor including gold-and-black-patterned bedding, brushed peach-y walls, and heavy curtains may be a bit over-the-top for some guests’ tastes. On the walls hang prints of famous paintings by Klimt and Van Gogh, and each room has a small white-wood, antique-style desk. All rooms have LCD TVs, safes, free Wi-Fi, and minibars lightly stocked with soda, beer, and wine. Rooms are smallish, and some bathrooms have only showers (no tubs), while others have shower/tub combos. Unlike some city center hotels, the Comfort Hotel Bolivar is able to accommodate up to four guests in a single room, and the Standard Quadruple Rooms tend to be popular with families. Note that space in these rooms will be especially tight.
Features
Free breakfast buffet, lobby bar, and parking for a fee
A free breakfast buffet is provided including cold cuts, cheeses, pastries, cereal, and yogurt. The hotel has a lobby bar where guests can order coffee or cocktails. Parking is available for a fee, and pets are allowed on request. Airport transportation can be arranged for a fee.
