“Solid Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2013

My G/F and I stayed in a Double Deluxe room for 4 nights. The room was not particularly large or special for a deluxe room, but it was decent sized with solid amenities. We stayed on the highest floor so we got a good view of the Tuscan hillside from our window. The rooms on the other side of the hallway appeared to have the same configuration but with balconies (maybe smoking rooms?) Breakfast was good with plentiful hot and cold options. The property is located on the edge of town so it is necessary to do some walking to reach restaurants / shops. It is about a 10 minutes walk to the Piazza Del Campo (town center). Overall, the hotel is not the most exciting property but it is a solid option when in Siena.

Room Tip: Deluxe rooms are slightly bigger with more updated amenities.

“Perfect base for exploring beautiful Siena”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

we stayed for a week and would have loved to stay for longer, lovely position and views to die for, the hotel is spotlessly clean and comfortable, the buffet style breakfast was good but for evening meals the resturant couldn't compare to the fabulous food on offer in nearby resturants and inns.
Staff were all polite and helpful

“Andrea made our holiday!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

We stayed at Hotel Athena at the very end of the summer last year and whole heartedly agree with the positive comments of the other reviews..

What really made our stay was the wonderful care and attention we received from Andrea, one of the staff. This elegant young man's thoughtfulness and kind actions absolutely made our holiday! And left us with some lovely memories of the hotel and Siena.

I highly recommend staying here.The location is great as it's nestled within the city's walls. The breakfasts are good and it's an easy walk to the centre of Sienna. Arrive in daylight if you can, we found it a little tricky to find Siena in the dark.

And don't forget to say "Ciao" to Andrea, because he is worth his weight in gold and any hotel would be lucky to have him.

Room Tip: It's worth asking for a room with views over the hills not the car park, after all you're in...

“Hotel Athena was terrific!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

We spent a quick couple of days in Siena, and really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Athena. Had a large, comfortable room on the southeast side of the property, looking toward vineyards, mountains and even a castle in the distance, a remarkable view. Breakfast at the hotel was also very good, wide variety, nice room. Desk staff was very helpful with information and suggestions for dining, etc. Also, and most importantly for some, the value was excellent, far better than we found at other hotels. We will absolutely return for a second visit-- and Siena itself, FASCINATING!!!

“Fabulous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

Right near the historic centre of Siena, Hotel Athena is the place to stay. We arrived on a holiday Monday and the staff couldn't have been more helpful finding us restaurants to eat in, our room was extremely comfortable, very big and newly renovated. For a large hotel it had a very warm and personal feel. Free Car Parking with easy access was a bonus. Wi Fi in rooms. Would stay again
