We stayed here for four nights and found the location convenient and the reception staff very helpful. On our penultimate day chambermaids were cleaning a room on the other side of the corridor and we noticed the difference immediately. Rooms on the outside have daylight and were very differeent because of this feature. Our room was on the inside and had no natural light.. I accept that the external rooms may have been noisier but my advice would be to ask for a room on the outside rather than one overlooking an internal courtyard.
In summary inexpensive, good location and helpful recweption.

We stayed two persons from Denmark(late fourties) at Giotto Flavia for four days in october. The room was nice and clean, in traditional italian style. The shower was rather small (could need to be replaced)- not suitable for xx-large people. Not so much traffic noise in the area. Breakfast reasonable: coffee, tea etc., bread, youghurt. Friendly staff. Situated near Villa Borghese, Spanish steps, Via Veneto but in a not so crowded neighbourhood. Be sure to visit the local restaurant :Lampada in the nearest side-street to Via Flavia. Food (including sea-food)is excellent at very reasonable prices and the staff (and chef)very friendly and hospitable. You have to be there at 7 pm sharp or you´ll have to wait til 9.30 pm, ´course its often booked full.
All in all Giotto Flavia was a good choice for us. We prefer to use money for good food rather than hotel luxury and got good value for our money at Giotto Flavia.

The hotel was a good value for the price i paid on hotels very clean, the staff was really friendly and warm. They were very helpful, we had a great 6 days stay at Flavia. It is in walking distance from the train station. If you take a taxi it should be no more then 3 to 5 euro NO MORE THEN 5. (unoffical taxis will try and rip you off and ask for 20 to 35 euro from the train station so watch out.) The stairs and elevator should not be a worry because the staff and hotel are great and more then make up for the lil walk up. All and All i would say it is a great value. They made our stay in roma very comfortable. The is a lil bar about 3 shop down from the hotel called "The Music Bar" it is pretty good and they have great fresh orange juice. Also the side street farthest from the hotel right after the music bar has a bakery, and there is a place to get cheap pizza which is really really good it is like 2 euro. The front desk has coupons for the music bar just ask.

We stayed at this Hotel the nights of June 14 & 15, The only good thing about our stay was that it was only for two nights. We checked into another hotel for the last 3 nights of our vacation. We booked this hotel through hotels.com, it was not at all what we expected. It was very dark, couldn't see even with all the lights on, the air-conditioning was actually a ceiling fan. The bathroom was very small and the shower stall is an accident waiting to happen.
