Pros: - Great view from the back of the hotel. - Our room was pretty big, bed was comfortable. Cons: - Barely, and I mean barely, inside city limit. The old city wall is right in front of the hotel. The walk isn't bad, but don't expect to be in the center of everything. - Rude staff at front desk,... more

Had a 2-night stay at the Minerva, whilst the location was fairly convenient for both the town and the station - train and bus - our arrival was met with a lukewarm reception, almost as if we were an intrusion into their day. We were travelling with another couple, both our rooms were very basic - albeit clean. There was... more

Good spot with walking disstance to major attractions. Once we saw the great room with its wonderful big terrace overlooking the old town we decided to stay another night. Front desk staff service minded and friendly. Only bad thing was the lousy service in the breakfast room. Perhaps due to understaffing? more

First impressions were quite favourable with reception very helpful in sorting out a luggage delivery problem. Floor of the room had not been swept; bathroom fixtures looked well past their sell-by date. Room did have a very generously sized balcony (where the local Contrade provided us with a free open-air concert until after 11pm). Request for a gin and tonic... more

I am just back from a very good trip to Siena over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. We stayed in the hotel Minerva and I was a little dismayed when we were directed to our basement level room by the reception upon checking in. This actually proved to be a blessing as the hotel is on the side of a... more

Ahh, Hotel Minerva. So much potential -- great location, nice view from our room. Although rooms are relatively modern, the number one problem is the whole place is an echo chamber and you can hear noise 8 doors down. They need to dampen the sounds here somehow. Also, our heater was broken, and we froze the second night. Aside from... more

A decent little hotel in Siena. Five minutes walk from the centre of town and with a great hotel receptionist who was most helpful. Our room was clean, spacious and had a great view over the town. Super bargain. more

My husband and I were very happy to get out of crowded and loud Florence on our way to lovely Siena, a most elegant and languid Tuscan town. The hotel lobby and hallways left us bracing for a rundown hotel room (although there is a curious collection of mid century furniture in the lobby). When we opened the door, we... more

We stayed at Minerva for 2 nights. Hotel is in a good location, short bus ride from the train station but walking distance to the attractions. Hotel was clean and the staff friendly. We were unfortunate to stay during their Fiesta celebrations which went on loudly until 2 am for the 2 nights we were there. We booked a comfort... more
