If you want to experience a bit of the history of Lima, there is no better place to stay. The hotel is beautiful and you feel like you’re stepping back in time being there. I imagined all the people who stayed there over the past 100 yrs. Since it is historic, be prepared for some cracks and creaks and absence of amenities like a hair dryer. But the kind staff, generous breakfast, free Pisco Sour drink ticket, and privilege of sharing in the Gran Bolivar’s illustrious history, more than makes up for anything it lacks!

A living piece of history located in the central district. So cool to stay in this grand old hotel and realize all who have stayed there from Hemingway to The Rolling Stones. Family of 4 with 11 and 17 year olds from Florida. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

This hotel is conveniently located within the historical district of Lima, and easily served by taxi and Uber. Front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Room is clean although the hotel itself is aged. The included breakfast is of high quality and is individually cooked. A major inconvenience is the weak WiFi signal in the hotel room. Not only the signal is weak but the internet connection is disrupted frequently. When using my own eSIM card for internet connection, the network shows only 3G , effectively with no connection.

This once stately Grand Hotel, built on the European model, has declined into a sad condition and is barely a ghost of what I saw for the first time in November of 1961. Where Hemingway would get soused on Pisco sours and where other celebrities would enjoy a fashionable stay, where Packard limousines waited to carry guests about the city, the only vestige of its former glory is the opulent bar. The rest is a dingey barebones operation gasping for air, hoping it has enough money to cover the cost of replacing a light bulb. Its gloomy hallways are a better setting for The Shining. Sparse, creaky furniture and paltry amenities place it a step away from being a monastery. The dining room's wait staff needs training, especially in wines. The front desk performs with fine courtesy and precision; that, and the signature Cathedral pisco sours, is the saving grace.

The hotel is very grant and historical, located in the center, very convenient, free order to make breakfast and welcome cocktails drinks in a bar, very nice staff and reception. Only the room is a little bit old and the sound proof need to be improved

The hotel leaves a mixed impression. Located in the historic center of the city, beautiful and majestic on the outside, it feels tired and aged on the inside. Many things need either updating or replacing (plumbing, beds, modest room decor, no phone, no safe, no kettle, unstable internet, etc.). At the same time, in terms of price-to-quality ratio, one matches the other — room prices are quite reasonable and affordable. Overall, it's a good and convenient place for exploring Lima, its history and landmarks, but not entirely comfortable for staying.

The hotel is outdated and not functional for “ Modern “ needs . That it was the best hotel In Lima 100 years ago. One night stay is more than enough. However, the restaurant and bar were great !!! Also, in the heart of historic district.

The wifi was not good, it constantly went in and out and went out for a solid 2 hours in the evening. The location is excellent, near the plaza and main historic center. The staff spoke little English but were helpful and I was able to communicate just fine. I loved the free pisco sour, and the cocktail lounge was nice. The room was fine, the pillows were terrible but the bedding was nice. Overall an ok stay, the terrible wifi was a real bummer.

El hotel es precioso pero las habitaciones necesitan ser reformadas y actualizadas, son amplias pero antiguas y el cuarto de baño está en un nivel bastante más elevado que el resto de la habitación lo que dificulta su acceso. Las habitaciones deben ser renovadas y especialmente el cuarto de baño aún más La entrada del hotel no tiene rampa ni ninguna acceso para equipaje o personas mayores

The hotel needs a solid refresh an investment if is is to remain a place where tourists and professionals will choose to stay while in Lima. Not good value for the money. The location is great of course, in the middle of historic Lima, besides that, the wi-fi is not stable/reliable, neither is the hot water in the morning. I would not stay again if I am to come back to Lima.

Terrible hotel. What once was a beautiful and elegant property is now a decadent property. No A/C, no wifi in bedrooms (unless you, by miracle, get some signal while sticking yourself to the wall).
