DK Eyewitness "Built in 1924, the venerable Bolívar stands guard over Plaza San Martín. Rooms retain an old-world grandeur, and the Presidential Suite, despite its name, is a bargain."
BlackBook "For those that shun modern hotel chains in favor of places with some history, you probably already know that "classic" is often code for "seen better days"."
Lonely Planet "For anyone chasing the retro atmosphere of a gilded age, check out this venerable 1924 hotel on the Plaza San Martín." Full review
Fodor's "The rooms are spacious, but a bit dog-eared. The hotel compensates for the worn upholstery by charging very reasonable rates. " Full review

Fodor's "This B&B-cum-art-gallery in a refurbished, early-20th-century house is surrounded by tropical gardens, sculptures, and a sweeping Pacific view." Full review
Frommer's "One of the best values for mid-range hotels in Lima...there’s an impressive collection of artwork and original detail inside, like Louis XV–style claw-footed bathtubs in every wood-floored room." Full review
