“Good B&B- Authentic Roman Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My wife and I stayed here at the end of January 2012. The B&B is a neat establishment that has a hospitable owner (his mother helps him out and makes a great cappuccino). The B&B has a terrace that is pretty awesome to sit out on; from it you can see Rome a typical Roman neighborhood and looking down the left hand side you can see the Colosseum.

Its about a half-mile walk from the Colosseo Metro stop to Flavius. It is very easy to find and the walk isn't to bad. The neighborhood is safe, much better than the area around Termini.

The biggest plus about the location is the proximity to San Giovanno in Lareno. My wife and I were fortunate to get up early and go to the Basillica around the time it opened. We were almost alone the cathedral, which was a phenomenal/fantastic/overwhelming experience. The location to San Giovanno makes this B&B really stand out.

If you don't know how B&B work in Rome, they are in an apartment building and are essentially an apartment renovated to be a B&B. Its pretty neat. My wife and I stayed in B&B in Rome, but a hotel in Florence; we really enjoyed the B&B experience.

The only negative about this is the walls can be thin. There are three rooms- one room with a private bath and two share a bath. We had the place to ourselves, so the thin walls were not a big deal. However, if you are a light sleeper and get a noisy neighbor, it could be an issue. The only reason this is a 4 star and not a 5 is the thin walls.

Room Tip: The private bath is nice and has a mini-balcony into the building courtyard. Not the best view, but...

“Best Spot in Roma”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

We stayed at BB Flavius for 3 nights and it was a great place to stay. I was very grateful for the small elevator in the building since it was on the 5th floor. The Location is less then 5 minutes away from the Colosseum. Right outside is a little souvenir shop and a cafe, and many restaurants to choose from around the area. It was very convenient. The view from the roof patio was wonderful. The room and private washroom were a good size, but I'm not used to the small showers they have in Italy. It was a fairly old place, but very clean. All three hosts are very friendly. There is a great wifi connection as well. Breakfast was satisfying, the cappuccino was great.

“Fantastic location and great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011

My Husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon last October. We stayed in the room without a bathroom, but it was no problem at all. The room was small, but very cosy and clean, and it seemed as though we were the only ones using the separate bathroom. The location is FANTASTIC, we loved the area and it is walking distance to all the major sights. The owner we met was very kind and very helpful. The terrace where they serve breakfast was beautiful. We would love to go back to Rome and we would definitely stay here!

“A great B&B for the price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Background: My husband and I stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon (we are a young couple) and stayed in the bedroom above the stairs on the right. We had an external bathroom.

Pros: the location is pretty good and close to the Roman Forum and public transportation. The terrace is beautiful and the room is quiet. The bathroom was large and all of the appliances were clean. The staff, especially Ana, was super sweet and helpful. One morning I felt very sick and she made me tea and brought it to our room! It was a sweet touch, especially given we were in a foreign country. Breakfast was great and we had lots of food to eat in the mornings! Our room overlooked the street and had a screen over the window, so we slept with the window open each night! The bed was pretty comfortable and each night we slept soundly.

Cons: In the hallway, you could hear talking people behind their doors, which I don't think matters so much, since you don't sleep out there (we could never hear our neighbors at night) and that was it.

Overview: I would stay here again and this part made our trip wonderful.
