We had a beautiful stay at Hotel Athena. We enjoyed the location and the restaurant. Martina at the front desk was fantastic.We enjoyed her sense of humour and efficiency.She booked a private wine tasting tour in Tuscany for us. I would also like to mention Tomasso who did everything from park our car to mix our drinks. He has a wonderful,friendly personality and is always helpful.

Nice hotel, check in before 7pm, or not problem!

It was nice hotel with wonderful breakfast buffet. I wish I had more time to enjoy. But when I arrived after 7pm to the train station before checking in, we learned that there would not be a reception and we had to call but no one answered and it took time to find some to help us.

Definitely stay here in Siena

Great hotel. Professional, friendly, helpful staff in all positions. Nice room, beautiful views. The only tricky part is parking. Make sure you have a definite plan in place before you arrive at the top of the mountain. You may not drive into the restricted area just past the hotel. The hotel does have small lots and valet right in front of the door (although it looks like a no parking zone).
