The hotel is set in a lovely authentic building with a central outdoor courtyard. Rooms are spacious, a little tired but very clean. There isn’t a bar, there is a well stocked fridge for guests to serve themselves. Breakfast is good with a good choice. Reception staff could be warmer. Overall not an unpleasant stay

Unique hotel within an old monastery. Functional rooms and perfect location within walking distance to various attractions in Siena. However, the customer service is lacking. The parking situation is tricky due to traffic laws and is only explained (not very clearly) over the phone if you call up in advance - it would be a lot easier to have an email with instructions. We also had issues with our air on that wasn’t resolved until late into the evening. The reception staff were friendly and helpful on other occasions!

This is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful city. Our experience was marred by poor communication from the hotel and the apparent disengagement of staff. Please be aware that if you drive to this hotel you need to follow the precise guidelines the hotel gives so as to avoid traffic fines. These are however not given unless you enquire in advance and you would only be prompted to do so if you read to the end of their email communications. Travellers on a busy schedule don’t always do that so staff absolving themselves of responsibility does not sit well when the situation becomes abundantly clear on arrival due to notices all over the hotel. Apart from that, Siena is beautiful and this hotel makes a convenient base.

The property is within easy access from the main centre plaza. The hotel is quite old and authentic in its decor. There is no lift and we were placed on the top floor carrying up very heavy suitcases. The plugs wouldn’t work with our chargers even with the adapters so we had to buy new chargers which eventually worked.

Fantastic views from our room. Need to be in shape to access the rooms. The access to the Palazzo is a 15 minute walk. You can park at the hotel parking area for about 15 euro/night. The staff is very friendly. You'll need to communicate with them if you plan to park at the hotel since they need to register your vehicle with the police. Siena is truly a medieval marvel and this property give you access to the wonders of Siena.

13 century monastery

The hotel is amazing! This hotel was a monastery built in the 13th century. Major problem, no elevator. The rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Ours was on the 3rd, hauling luggage was not fun. The other annoying part was the included breakfast started at 8am. We had an early train reservation which meant no breakfast for us. When we explained at the front desk, they didn’t offer any solutions.

Quaint hotel, delicious breakfast with a great variety. Lovely courtyard. We knew about the stairs up to the room, we were not aware of the stairs inside our room between the washroom and the bedroom. We had a rental car and the desk explained that we had to report when we came in or out of the city gate. However, we came back in the late afternoon and had a dinner reservation in a small town nearby. We could not go to that restaurant because we had used our privileges for that day. We were not aware of that clause and were disappointed. Also, not aware that a 15 euro per night charge for the vehicle.
