Top Siena Hotel Reviews
Hotel Italia
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely helpful staff, comfortable room, good breakfast, convenient location. Enjoyed our stay here "
Hotel Athena
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast was great, the hotel staff were wonderful, and the parking was a nice treat."
Villa Ermellina Siena, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is stunning, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and its the first hotel I've stayed at where they follow their own rule of not replacing towels if you keep them hung up! My only complaint was that the pool chairs photographed were not set up even though it was a warm May weekend but perhaps these are only set up in the summer. "
NH Siena
2/10 Terrible
"This was not a genuine 4 star Hotel.
It was dated with problems with the bathroom etc - sink not draining etc
Parking was absurd. 30 minutes notice required to get your car for 30 euro.
We paid nearly $350 Australian a night which was ridiculous for the Hotel quality.
It was not NH standard nor 4 star standard.
I am regular stayer at NH Hotels & generally find them good but not this one.
The stay has me seriously rethinking using Expedia going forward.
You can see from my spending with Expedia I am good regular user & never complain. But with this stay I feel very short changed "
Villa Scacciapensieri Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice experience. Definitely recommend. It was perfect for us"
Grand Hotel Continental Siena – Starhotels Collezione
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel had everything and more. We made use of the terrace with a lovely, extensive breakfast served to us by room service.
The whole hotel is like a museum. It really is a beautiful space. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience."
Piccolo Hotel Etruria
10/10 Excellent
"we had no breakfast"
Sangallo Park Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed at Sangallo Park Hotel and it was a solid choice. Clean room, comfortable bed, and friendly staff. Breakfast had good variety with both hot and cold options.
Only downside is the location, not in the city center so you’ll need transport.
Overall good value and would stay again."
Hotel Chiusarelli
4/10 Poor
"No A/C even though explicitly stated. And then because of the no A/C, was required to leave the windows open so was frequently woken up by tourists on the streets, loud cars/motorcycles and the church bells at 7:30am. "
