The breakfast buffet was great--pastries, meats and cheeses, cereal, etc. They also had a nice coffee bar that offered American Coffee (Cafe Americano) which can be hard to find in Rome. Since it was a former monastery, the room was small, basic and cell-like--no TV, but very sweet. The bathroom was clean and modern with everything you would find in an upscale hotel bathroom. The room had a little arch-shaped window that was right at eye level when lying in bed. I asked for a view of the hillside, so every morning that was the first thing I saw when I woke up, a wonderful, sunny view of the Tuscan countryside. The staff does speak some English, so that wasn't an issue. The location is perfect--right off the main street that leads to everything, and just a few steps from the Basilica. There is a bit of an uphill hike to get to the hotel (about a block)--it was a struggle the first day, but then I got used to it. Bottom line, if you are looking for a convenient, clean hotel that captures the spirit of Assisi, but still has all the modern hotel amenities, this is the place for you!
