I'll always remember the narrow, winding streets of Siena - one of my favorite stops in Italy. Hotel Il Chiostro del Carmine is ideally tucked among the streets, a short walk to the center of town. It is moderately priced and so much of the original charm has been preserved, making it a memorable place to stay. The rooms are... More

A beautiful building where we had a lovely spacious room - the people on reception were very helpful and we can highly recommend this hotel. Just on the outskirts of the city centre but that only means a 10-15 minute walk to the Duomo etc. More

We found our stay here absolutely delightful! All the staff we dealt with were as polite and helpful as can be. I agree with another recent reviewer that service must have improved since some of the bad reviews were made. There was no lift because, well, what do you expect when you stay in a 500+ year old monastery?! Staff... More

This hotel provides you with a unique Italian experience staying in what originally was a monastry. Our room was very large with a large bathroom and we only booked the cheapest room available!! So we were pleasantly surprised :) Our window view also looked out towards some of Siena together with the Tuscan countryside! Staff were fantastic, they could not... More

I agree with the other reviewers. Nice, quiet,clean and spacious rooms. Close to the downtown and great views of the Tuscan hills. Breakfast was good, not extensive but adequate. Too bad they don't take advantage of the lovely little courtyard at reception. It would make a great little spot for a morning coffee or an afternoon drink. Several great little... More

Typical italian atmosphere with everything in this beautiful ancient city within walking distance, churches, reataurants, beautiful views to narrow streets and ancient houses. Really spectacular. We, two adult couples, spent few days in this hotel, and enjoyed, all... More

We loved the room, spacious and clean. The staff is really helpful, the atmosphere is quiet and the building is really beautiful. More

From the moment you enter the hotel property it will take your breath away. From the inner courtyard and bell tower; to the grand marble stairs and views overlooking Tuscany...you'll be amazed. We were so glad we booked this hotel for celebrating our 30th anniversary. The bathroom was very large and modern; a delightful surprise. The location of the hotel... More
