From the minute we arrived, we were super-impressed by the level of service from each member of the team; Martina, Carlos and Simone on the Reception and the whole Breakfast room team were exceptional and made us feel really welcome. The location of the hotel was great for us - just 10 minutes walk from the Cathedral, and from the stunning Piazza de Campo. It was spotlessly clean, the bedlinen was high quality and the views from our bedroom window were spectacular!

The wifi was really bad, with constant disconnections, it was impossible to use. The breakfast was also meh, given it's Italy I'd expect more fresh stuff and better quality in general. Things felt heavily industrialized and/or frozen which was not great.

The rooms were extremely clean! The hotel offered free still and sparkling water every day to take to the city which was super nice. Staff was really helpful and the location of the hotel is quite close to the city center, which was one of the best cities we've ever been in Italy.

We lived the hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We especially enjoyed having a glass of wine in the bar before going out to dinner. The bar and the terrace have gorgeous views of the Tuscan countryside. We were so impressed with Aldo who did a fine job managing the bar. He was very personable and took pride in doing his job well. The breakfast was delicious, with lots of choices. They had a hard working wait staff who assured a great start to the day.

Breakfast is simple without many choices.

Very good! Clean and comfortable room, nice people, not far from the center, and free parking.

Nothing major - the shower was a little small and the breakfast could have had a better selection of fruits, but overall only insignificant critiques. We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed the bar and terrace. The location was also pretty good - it was easy to get to and parking was also relatively easy which is a big deal in Siena. Convenient to all major attractions. The staff was also very helpful and friendly - in particular Claudio and Halim. They made us feel welcomed and more at home away from home.

Lovely drive to a nice hotel within the city walls. We were upgraded to a bigger room which was very comfortable and spacious for 2 of us. The reception was helpful to make reservation at a restaurant for us and provided umbrellas when it rained. Also helped to park our car within the hotel compounds.

That our holidays ended and couldn't stay more!

What an amazing discovery this hotel! Perfect location to walk around Siena and with a free parking which is rare for Italy. The family room was big and cozy and the cleaning was immaculate! One night we tried the restaurant and while it didn't have reviews, we can attest that it was delicious, lovely presented and with a lovely wine selection. The bonus of this hotel is their staff. From the reception, the waiters at the breakfast and dinner everyone has the right attitude, very polite, helpful and attentive to the last detail. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay by 1 night. Our small kids were also attended to, every day there was something given to them during breakfast and they always had an adaptable chair for the youngest. Lastly, I lost an earring in the sink and they had a technician come and find it within an hour. We travel a lot as a family of 4 in various countries and hotels like this one really make the difference in hospitality. Keep it up!

There was nothing we didn’t like.

The staff were very friendly and seemed very happy to work at the Athena. They couldn’t do enough for us! The location was perfect, a short stroll from the centre of Siena. Breakfast was very good and plentiful.

Some kids were very noisy late at night in adjacent rooms. A pity when you own kids are quiet and don't bother others. We appreciated the effective staff intervention when need to get calm back.

Very well located hotel close to the historic center. perfect for visit. Very friendly and professional staff. nice large rooms, romantic view on the city and surroundings.

Great location, easy walk into town. Great that they have free car parking as well! The beds were comfortable, the balcony was nice to watch the sunset and the staff were so warm and lovely. The breakfast buffet was great, lots of options. The hotel was really nice and quiet, we didn’t hear a single other guest when we were in our room.

A bit difficult to find as one of the streets leading to the hotel was closed due to ongoing work. However by the time of our departure it had opened.

Parking on hotel property, easy registration, and within easy walking to all major sites. Very professional hotel staff always eager to help. Good breakfast buffet.

Everything was great!

Breakfast and dinner was superb. The Waiters, Bedere and Halim were exceptionally patient, kind and knowledgeable regarding menu items and general information regarding the town and the language. They were both quite kind and attentive to create a relaxed and welcome atmosphere.

I had some trouble after losing my wallet. Everyone on the staff was extremely considerate and helpful with that as well as all of our other concerns.
