Comfort Inn Bolivar - Rome, Italy     

Ok, yes this place has a nice location but that was about it. i wouldn’t even visit heaven if i had to stay here again. i actually had to drink soo much that i had passed out to sleep there. the con's - 1) 80's cheesy formica furniture that was warped and wouldnt even close. 2) Bed that felt like we were sleeping on a carving board and a pillow that felt like a rolled up towel in a bag. 3) Walls so thin that every time someone would open or close a door in a room up to 5 rooms away it felt like they were in my room. 4) No lock on the door (combine that with the fact that every time someone opened a door it sounded like they were opening ours) (try sleeping with that feeling.) the pro's - 1) The key to my room made me feel like i won some distinguished medal of honor. 2) The reception/checkin/bellman/doorman/bartender guy (yes you’re reading that right) gave me a break and charged me only 5 euro's for my diet coke instead of 6. 3) I did not plummet to my death in the elevator. (even if it did only one person and a small carryon could die at a time) 4) Our TV had over 25 channels of static. 5) We only could afford to stay one night. Bottom line - I travel allot, i have stayed in more hotels that i can recall and this is definitely the worst room ever. Not to mention at over 300 euro's a complete rip off. Do not trust the pictures; seriously do not trust the pictures. For European students who are in the process of writing there manifesto’s living off some social euro welfare program while going to school this hotel may suffice (even though it is 300+ euro’s a night for the worst room), but if your american this is a clichéd, stereotypical european hotel at it's worse. American travelers be warned.

Went to the bolivar despite the comments on trip advisor. The rooms were small (we were in a triple) clean and comfortable. The loaction for a 1st time visit to Rome we found excellent. We found good close bars and Trattoria's. The desk staff were helpful and could not do enough to help us! NO they did not have internet but we were able to check into our return flights using the reception PC. When i mentioned my room was a bit small i was shown other rooms if i had wished to move but we stayed as we were not in the room that much. It was harder to get the lady in the breakfast room to smile but we cracked that on day 4. Breakfast was simple and the coffee from the urn is terrible however dont be afraid to ask for a cappicino- we did and the coffee was much better if delivered with only a minor scowl!! yes i would go back
