My room is in great condition as well as the bathroom. There is a shared kitchenette with refrigerator. Joy, the manager of the property ,was extremely helpful and available during business hours to provide advice and help with transport although it is a fairly short walk to the bus terminal. Would stay at this place again in the event that I get back to Siena and I do recommend it.

Joy showed us to our room which is across town from the room which was a bit confusing but not a big deal. She was very nice and told us a bit about the city as we walked to the room. The room had very high ceilings and a large bed which was nice since we had stayed in some rather cramped areas while in Italy. The bathroom was attached and spacious enough to move around in. The shower was hot and drained well. Overall, one of the better places we stayed on our trip, and I wouldn't hesitate to book this place again. Excellent value for the money and a very kind host to boot.

I LOVED THIS PROPERTY! I had a great little room in a wonderful neighborhood convenient to the Cathedral and central Siena. It was a ground floor room in a 3 bedroom apartment. I never meet the others staying in the apartment but saw their rooms after the checked out while they were being cleaned. All three rooms were nice. We shared a common living and kitchen area that was sufficiently stocked. My room was furnished with great antiques. The bathroom was small and the shower was cramped but usable (I didn't travel to Italy for a Bathroom). My favorite part of the apartment was the garden terrace. It was a lovely spot with a bistro table and 2 chairs with a view of the top of the cathedral bell tower and the neighbors very well maintained vegetable garden. I could has spent days just sitting on this terrace. Every morning I would have my breakfast at the table and enjoy the view and the quiet. This apartment gave me a real since of what it must be like to live in Siena. I hope I am fortunate enough to visit Siena again and enjoy this lovely Italian gem. On a side note - Be aware that the rental office is across the street from where my GPS placed it. So look around when you get to the general vicinity. Also know that Siena is HILLY! Those with mobility issues may have problems with steep terrane. While this was a ground floor apartment, there were 2 steps into the building and 2 more to the apartment.

Excellent Experience, Joy was extremely friendly, available and helpful with every single issue, question, and request we made. Better than that impossible!!!! The room was neat in every sense and location close to absolutely whatever you want to visit in Siena ,just a few steps away from the major monuments and the spectacular main square, and a brand new laundry. The only downside was the the lack of WiFi, which could be easily fixed. Apart from that, this is a really nice place to stay.

Clean, basic room in a reasonable location
Simple, bare-bones but clean room and bathroom. A flat in a house has been converted to provide 3 separate rooms with common entrance area which has a kitchenette. Room had little more than just a bed and a small table. It was fairly cold but at night heating was turned on. Location is reasonable, within about 5min walk from Duomo and Piazza del Campo - however is on the opposite end of the Old town from the train station. Check in office is a few hundred metres down the road - note it has limited hours and outside of those hours there is no one. Overall a decent option for a short stay if basics is all you need.

Living within the historic beauty of old Siena.
When you've adjusted to living in a cosy flat that is in a building perhaps built in the 15th century, you start to really love this location. It's homey, quiet and very picturesque. The beautiful Horticultural Garden of the University of Sienna is just around the corner. It's an easy 5 to 10 minute walk to the Piazza del Campo, the Duomo, and most museums and attractions in this timeless city. One stipulation, don't expect a 21st century, ultra-modern, sleek hotel, this is living within history, therefore there are lots of stairs and few elevators. However, the atmosphere is incomparable.

Cute place in the town center
We had a brief overnight stay here and enjoyed our time. The location was perfect, the price was reasonable, and the Italian family who owns it is so pleasant and charming. My mom happened to be sick at the time and they brought us a hot water bottle for her. I also had a work emergency and needed to print something and they let me print in their office, which was beyond my expectations. Our apartment/room was quaint, though our bathroom and hallway had motion-sensing lights that were terrible and did not function well. We were also under the impression that the place had wi-fi, but the wi-fi access was actually only in the office, which was in the building adjacent to our room and not convenient. The fact that they offer breakfast is really nice, though it was nothing special (yogurt, packaged croissants, coffee). However, the place is perfectly located for all the major sights in Siena and the charm of the family (who have apparently been running this business for over 60 years) made it worth it.

The pleasant surprise
The hotel is in very centre of the old city, between Duomo and Piazza del Campo. The room was very nice and clean, with private bathroom ( I was in a room named Conte). The breakfast was almost basic. Very pleasant experience!

know these things before you book
Staff very friendly and accommodating. Rooms spread across various buildings in heart of old Siena so NO access by car. GPS can't get you close without taking you on restricted roads which we did, but staff contacted police to request that the fines be waived. First room right off the Main Street and no AC so we were awoken at 3 AM by garbage trucks, delivery trucks, etc. which didn't g stop. Fortunately they were able to move us to a location several blocks away that was quieter for subsequent nights. Second room was very large and very quiet. Beds and pillows hard in both rooms and furniture worn but spotlessly clean. Showers tiny but water pressure good. Breakfast: coffee and fresh cake good, but rest were packaged items. Considering the options a few seconds down the street we passed on eating hotel breakfast each day. Location excellent for sightseeing.

Central to Sienna
It's a B & B what do you expect - it's a room not a suite. Very central location particularly handy for the Dome, but by Sienna's standards a major throughfare so noisy and with a bar right opposite that does not seem to curtail its customers from shouting at each other until 2:00 AM so not good if that disturbs your sleep. Shutting the window was not an option, it was very close and humid and there is no air conditioning or fan. There was a room safe. A good choice of local restaurants very handy. Very welcoming staff and very friendly. Breakfast is basic continential.

Not a great experience
This is not a hotel, but a family that runs a few apartments all over the old city. The address they give is the office. After we parked the car (with great difficulty in old city), we came to the address provided only to find that this is an office and our room is on another side of the city. It took us an hour to drive around to get to the other side. They did not want to help with getting a permission to enter the ZTL (zona where all traffic without permit is prohibited). In all places we visited in Italy, owners always got us a permit to drive to the place to unload. But not in this case. The room was tiny and dingy with old furniture and miniscule bathroom. Breakfast is non-existent. Coffee, a roll from supermarket, dry cake and butter and jam. That's it. When we were leaving it was raining really hard, so we asked the owner again to either get us a permit to come to the apartment to load our luggage or maybe drive us to the car park with our luggage, so it doesn't get soaked. This was also refused. You can find a better place in Siena

good location.. everything else ok..
Great location.. About 15 euro cab ride from the station. (You can take city bus too, we dint explore that option). Walkable from the the main historic center. We had a room facing the Main Street and it was extremely noisy almost all night .. The room was decent size.. Breakfast was the worst we had in our 18 day italy trip.. They only have coffees , juices and pre packaged toast. No wifi. Good thing were only there for a night.

Excellent in every sense.
Everything is excellent, the Albergo Diffuso staff was helpful and kind, the room was neat in every sense, location close to absolutely whatever you want to visit in Siena, and they offer a very nice breakfast. The only thing I would recommend to them is to have the credit card machine right in the office they attend the customers (on Via Stalloreggi) as, I am sure, some would not like to see their credit cards taken away somewhere else outside the office to be returned a few minutes later.

Charming place to stay
Charming hotel in a wonderful location. Antique furniture and beautiful beams on the ceiling. The owners are helpful and Goiia speakes fluent English. She called to confirm our car service to Volterra even though it was to the States. Very small space for breakfast but the attention and home made cake made up for it. Goia (she calls herself Joy) is a delight! We would stay with them again.

The owners were very friendly, available and helpful.The room I stayed in was small, but cosy and with lots of character. The location was perfect, just a few steps away from the major monuments and the spectacular main square in Siena. The only downsides were the rather mediocre breakfast and the lack of WiFi, both of which could be easily fixed, so I was particularly frustrated. Apart from that, this is a really nice place to stay.

The location is perfect, right by the Campo. Clean, large room and bath. Breakfast with coffee in the morning. Friendly staff. Staffed office. The only drawback was because of the great location, sometimes it was a little noisy at night as local teens walked by. But I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Dadurch dass die Unterkunft zum Entladen des Gepäcks nicht angefahren werden konnte war der Weg vom Parkplatz sehr anstrengend. Ein Hinweis auf einen näher gelegenen Parkplatz am Übergang zur ZTL wäre angebracht gewesen. Sehr zentrale Lage mit kurzen Wegen zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten.
