Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a nice view and quiet rooms despite some outdated features and noise issues. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, even when it comes to additional payments. The location is perfect for exploring Siena, just steps away from the city center escalator. The dining options are varied, although pricing could be a bit high. Overall, it's a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, just a few steps from the escalators leading to the city center, making it very convenient for exploring Siena and its surroundings. The rooms, though fairly small, offered a sort of terrace overlooking a garden, which was a nice touch. However, the air conditioning unit was very noisy and gave off an old, musty odor.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotless and cozy, with a lovely terrace overlooking a garden. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs, even moving us to a room with a new and efficient air conditioning unit. The location couldn't be better, just steps away from the escalators up to the city center. The dining options were good but slightly limited. Overall, a fantastic value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located opposite the escalators, allowing easy exploration of the city. The rooms, however, are outdated and inadequate in terms of cooling, with some maintenance issues. The service was understanding and included helpful staff like Paulo, but there were occasional shortcomings. The dining experience offered a wide choice of options, although some may find it basic. The location is the hotel's saving grace, offering direct access to the city center.
The hotel photos on the internet were misleading regarding the actual room quality and the noisy, inefficient AC was bothersome. However, the staff were helpful and polite. The hotel's location, right across from the escalators into Siena, was convenient despite the steep climb. The dining options, though limited, offered a decent selection. Overall, there are some areas for improvement, but the experience was satisfactory.
The hotel is a convenient and tasty option when it is pouring rain out, featuring modern rooms with a little garden to relax in between trips into the city. However, the rooms have not much space to move around.
