The Gran Hotel Bolivar is one of a kind. Approaching its 100th year, the hotel represents a time when the wealthy elite would come to Lima and expect to be greeted by liveried doormen, excellent cocktails and linen tablecloths. It still does not disappoint. While the decor may look a little faded in places, it is clearly a top notch hotel with a beautiful interior and well- trained, helpful staff. I can recommend it highly and, should I be fortunate to return to Lima, I will always choose the Gran Hotel Bolivar as my base.

What a grand hotel. We arrived really late due to flight delays and personnel were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, ask for the coffee, no cream... delicious. The foyer is gorgeous.

I liked the retro nature of the facility - high ceilings and spacious rooms, not your ordinary tourist type of hotel - the hallways were long and empty which gave off a haunted house vibe - the food and bar drinks were exceptional - there was plenty to see within walking distance - an experience worth remembering

I stayed for 3 night for family emergency and the last day was not satisfactory. While I was waiting at the lobby hotel I need to charges my phone, but I could find anywhere. Luckily I saw one outlet near the receptionist. I was standing while I charges my phone because nothing I can be seat. One of employee hotel came to me and he said I can’t charges my phone in there. I looked at him and I did not say anything because I did not want to argue with him. I asked the other one of employee hotel who was he. He was a supervisor security. I could not believe ; If I can’t charges my phone in there, he should offer me the different location. I hope the management hotel would do serve the better service.

This is a historical hotel that has a lobby thronging with tour guides and their pursuants. Sadly, they see no further than the impressive hallway and don't experience the frugal nature of the bedrooms. There, they would find sparse furnishings and limited bathroom provisions. Taps often failed to work, the toilet didn't refill after flushing and the shower was little more than a dribble. The floor in the bedroom was dangerously slippery. Breakfasts offered no choice and were simply adequate but uninspiring. Staff were friendly and helpful, but it was quite strange to be in a restaurant where I felt as if I was the only guest in the entire hotel.

This is a 100-year-old hotel and it shows. Windows don't close all the way, the place has an old smell to it and it throws off a creepy vibe (it freaked out my adult kids). It is located across the street from a very busy and noisy plaza. Our room faced a plaza and we could hear the music and protestors clear as day. Because of the noise, we switched rooms, and my family was split to both sides of the hotel. However we could still hear the noise in the plaza like our windows were open, but they weren't. There was music, shouting, and fireworks until 5 am and none of us (5) slept well. We tried to sleep with earplugs. The kicker is my wife saw a 2-inch cockroach run across the floor that I had to kill! This is a historic and quaint hotel that is in desperate need of updating. We would not stay there again.

The hotel is an architectural jewelry, however, it's decaying. Ceilings are peeling off, furniture is very old. Spending a night there was a unique experience but it needs a lot of maintenance. It feels like a movie. It is definitely noisy outside, you need ear plugs in order to fall asleep. However, the staff is super friendly, kind and helpful. All of them.
