Decent hotels under €100 a night are not easy to find in Siena and this one is a charmer. Just inside the city walls (everything is in fairly easy walking distance in Siena) and not far from the station. Via Garibaldi was punched through the old town walls to make access to the station easier when the trains came in... More

Breakfast was great. We had a superior room with our own balcony overlooking the old city. Gorgeous views! The room and... More

This is a lovely, very clean & extremely reasonably priced 3 star hotel in central Siena. It's a 10min walk uphill to the piazza del campo and duomo. The only people that might find this difficult are the disabled or very elderly, however as Siena is full of hills this can't be avoided when visiting. The staff in particular are... More

Dear Shearen, thank you for your commentary. As you have realized, Siena is displaced on several hills, so it's normal to walk up and down. As far as of the hotel, we are aware that we need to intervene on the structure, and I can assure you that every year we do some refurbishment. Of course the hotel is quite... More

Dear guest, I'm sorry for the bad personal relation with the receptionist. The check-in is at 3 p.m. beacuse above all when the day before the hotel is fully booked, it is difficult to have the room ready before that time. As far as for the noise, if during the night you hear noises from the room above you, you... More

Really great reasonably-priced hotel. Comfortable rooms, breakfast was very good, staff very welcoming. Easy to get to the old part of Siena. Would suggest getting bus or taxi to get to hotel as it is a uphill climb. Great pizza restaurant opposite.
