Hotel Bolivar is a 4-star hotel in the Rione Monti district of Rome, housed in a 19th-century historic building about 500 metres from the Trevi Fountain and less than a kilometre from the Colosseum.
The rooms, available in several types ranging from single to quadruple, feature a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a minibar; some units offer views over the city’s rooftops. Breakfast is served in a panoramic room with continental, Italian, American, buffet and gluten-free options.
The property is designed both for couples, who particularly appreciate the central location, and for families thanks to the availability of family rooms and a babysitting service. Staff, on duty 24 hours a day, offer advice on local restaurants and shops, while the elegant in-house bar serves international cocktails. Services such as luggage storage, shuttle service and a safe complete the offer for those visiting Rome’s historic centre.
Hotel Bolivar offers four room types, from the Single designed for solo travellers to the Quadruple suited to small groups or larger families. All room types share a private bathroom with bathtub or shower, air conditioning, soundproofing, a minibar and a flat-screen TV, elements that guarantee a good level of comfort regardless of the size chosen.
What increases most is the space and bed flexibility: the Double/Twin Room lets you choose between a double bed or two separate beds, while the Triple and Quadruple, furnished with classic furniture and marble floors, combine single and double beds to suit different group compositions. Some rooms also boast views over the rooftops of Rome, a distinctive feature for those seeking a stay with a panoramic touch in the heart of the city.
The Single Room, the most compact in the property at 9 sqm, is designed for solo travellers seeking functionality in the heart of Rome. Equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a minibar, it offers an essential yet comfortable space for short stays.
Compared to the Single, this 12 sqm room offers more breathing space and the option to choose between a double bed or two separate beds. Furnished in classic style with marble accents and antique items, it can be personalised on request with romantic details for couples.
At 17 sqm and with capacity for three people, the Triple Room is larger than the first two room types and offers two alternative bed configurations, suitable for families with a child as well as small groups. Marble floors and classic furnishings characterise the interiors.
The Quadruple Room is the most spacious in the property, at 20 sqm and with capacity for up to four people: the ideal choice for families or groups needing more single beds or a combination with a double bed. Classic furniture and marble floors complete the setting.
Hotel Bolivar offers a range of services designed for those visiting central Rome with comfort in mind. The front desk operates 24 hours a day and is complemented by services such as luggage storage, currency exchange, a tour desk and concierge service, useful for organising visits to the city’s monuments.
For dining, in addition to the buffet breakfast, there is a bar with an in-room minibar, a snack bar and the option of breakfast served directly in the room. Families are well catered for too, with family rooms, a babysitting service and daily housekeeping.
Additional services include a lift, a safe, laundry service, air conditioning in all rooms and free WiFi. A shuttle service and airport shuttle are also available on request, along with bicycle rental to move easily around the attractions of Rione Monti.
Hotel Bolivar is located in Rione Monti, one of Rome’s oldest and most characteristic districts, amid cobbled alleys, artisan workshops and historic buildings just steps from the Imperial Forums. The area retains an authentic atmosphere despite being just moments from the city’s main monuments, with restaurants such as Doppio Gusto and Ristorante Petrucci a few dozen metres from the property.
The Trevi Fountain can be reached on foot in about 500 metres, the Colosseum is 900 metres away and the Imperial Forums 500 metres; Piazza Venezia is just 300 metres away. For rail travel, Cavour metro station is 600 metres away and Termini Station about 1.3 km, convenient for connections to Fiumicino Airport (19 km) and Ciampino Airport (12 km).
Guests staying here can spend their days visiting the historic centre, strolling among Trajan’s Column, Palazzo Valentini and the nearby Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, the heart of the district’s evening life with its venues and pedestrian streets. In spring and autumn the mild climate makes walks towards the Colosseum and Palatine Hill pleasant, while in summer many visitors choose the evening hours to reach Piazza di Spagna and the nearby Trevi Fountain, often quieter after sunset.
