8.6/10

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious and extremely quiet; I even kept the windows open to enjoy the wonderful evening entertainment. The breakfast at the rooftop restaurant, overlooking Piazza della Minerva, was larger and better appointed than any other hotel I've stayed at in the area.
