A lovely hotel still in the period - good service, attentative staff and all we could have hoped for - good breakfast and internet facilities and so convenient to all the places of interest near the Palace, Cathedral, shops etc.
Little to complain about - rooms are simple but clean and ample room - extra pillows were available when asked for - cable TV received BBC World News and CNN which was a bonus
I would highly recommend this lovely hotel - ideal position - good staff and all facilities that we needed - liked the easy walk to the Palace, Cathedral Museums, shops - very safe with many police on all streets - the hotel is still preserved in the 1920s era and we loved that - a nice ambiance and very comfortable - all amenities that we needed - I would not hesitate to recommend the Gran Bolivar and the price was excellent value - a great place to spend time whilst visiting LIMA, Peru.
Restaurant Tip : Excellent local restaurants serving the "locals" - we ate 3 course meals for as little as $1.50 per head - clean, delicious and very friendly, helpful people - the other end of the line was a Peruvian buffet lunch at San Antonios in Miraflores which was also very good but cost $55 per head!!
