“Nice view, less than average room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel has its own parking, which is included in the price. This is important if you are travelling by car and do not want to stay inside the ZTH. From our window we had a very nice view of Sienna. Also the guys at the reception were nice and breakfast was the regular average Italian breakfast. There is a bus just in front of the hotel to the historic center.

However, the room was small (no elevator). The double bed was poor without two separate mattresses. There was a lot of noise in both mornings. All in all, I guess, the sleep quality is the most important thing, and if you do not sleep well, it ruins the next day. Therefore, I would not choose this hotel for light or medium sleepers.

“Resonable although room very small and breakfast average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

When we got there we had been put in ground floor room overlooking carpark. We asked to change and were given one on first floor with spectacular view but very small. Staff were friendly and helpful. Internet was slow and intermittent. Breakfast was average. The coffee was filtered and had frothy milk added to look like a real cappucino. Rest was fine. Parking was good and location walking distance to center of Siena

“Great location, clean and good value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked last minute a three beds room. We found the hotel easily and we were very happy with the room and facilities. it was great to have parking so close to the main square (10 minutes walking). The lady at reception gave us a nice map and some short guide on how o get to the main sites. Very happy with our stay and would definately go back. The only possible snag was that breakfast (served in the garden - lovely!) was as it so often is in Italy.... too simple and could do with some more attention.

“Nice staff and beautiful place. Great view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

Very nice staff, and a great view to the valley. The free parking is a great advantage, since you can walk to sienna and not bother about where to park the car. The walk to city is not 10 minutes, but 15-20 if you want to reach the real center. but it is a pleasant walk.

The breakfast was one of the most generous we had in this area, and was in the garden. really relaxing.

I recommend this hotel, it is cute and great value for money.
