Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a lovely view over the rooftops, but some areas seemed 'run down' compared to similar hotels. The breakfast bar can get crowded, but the rooms are clean and tidy.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a great view of Sienna, giving a nice touch that stands out. The service is attentive and considerate, making guests feel welcome and valued. The location is very convenient, providing easy access to the main sights of Siena. The dining options are varied and satisfactory, although there might be slight room for improvement in some areas.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a lovely view of Siena down a valley, providing a pleasant experience, but the sound insulation could have been better as we were next to the noisy stairs. The service was amazing, with the staff being super helpful and polite. The location was great, offering easy access to the city center, although the dining experience was just okay, not meeting high expectations.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its clean and comfortable rooms, easy access to the hotspots in town, and a superb breakfast. The panoramic terrace added a nice touch. However, more pillows and better sound insulation from other rooms would have made it even more comfortable.
The hotel seemed a bit outdated and lacked soundproofing, making it easy to hear neighbors and corridor noise, though the room size was decent for a short stay. However, the bright light from the corridor shining into the room all night was a bit challenging.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with spacious rooms and a nice balcony, but lacks soundproofing and struggles with bright corridor lights shining into the rooms all night. The service is generally friendly and helpful, with a positive gesture of upgrading rooms. The location is convenient, especially for car travelers with indoor parking available. The dining experience varies, with some praising the variety of breakfast choices and others finding it lacking. Overall, the hotel provides a good value for the money.
The hotel's rooms were compact but comfortable with good en suite bathroom facilities. The service was impeccable, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient, just a short walk to Il Campos, and the dining options were varied. However, the hotel appeared somewhat 'run down' compared to others in the area.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a small room but a view of the old town. The room was spacious, clean, and well air-conditioned. The staff were exceptionally friendly and provided helpful advice for exploring Siena. The location was convenient, just a short distance from historical sites.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious with comfortable beds and working air conditioning. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay very comfortable. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the train station and minutes away from the main sights of Siena. The dining experience offered plenty of choices for all dietaries, and the facilities were well-organized.
The hotel had everything I could want, air-conditioning was important in the very high temperatures we experienced, and outside space to sit and admire the view in the cooler evenings. However, just a rather unattractive rooftop marred the overall great experience.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great for exploring the walled city of Siena, but the room had some drawbacks with noise from the construction site and lack of housekeeping service. The evening staff were a pleasant surprise, although the morning brought some challenges with managing demand.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The Italian traditional decor in the room was charming and the balcony with seating for 6 was a delightful bonus. The room and bathroom were both spacious and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable retreat. The service was top-notch with incredibly kind and friendly staff. The location was ideal, just a short walk from all the key areas in Siena. While the dining options were somewhat limited, there were plenty of excellent restaurants within easy walking distance. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money with its fantastic amenities and fantastic location.

The hotel had rooms that didn't match the pictures but offered an amazing view across Siena. The service was mixed with some lapses but overall helpful and polite. The location was convenient for exploring the city center with a quiet setting, though car parking was misleading. The dining experience was good but could have been more plentiful in options.
The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not as luxurious as expected, but quite large with a picturesque view from the small balcony. The service varied from helpful to less engaging.
