Lovely hotel in Siena. Well located for exploring on foot with the main Palazzo and the Duomo no more than 15 minutes away. Really enjoyed the rooftop patio!
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Athena in Siena. The hotel is very nice, with comfortable, well-appointed rooms and an excellent central location that makes exploring Siena very convenient. The breakfast was exceptional, with a great selection and excellent quality. The staff was consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Overall, a very enjoyable stay, and we would definitely recommend Hotel Athena to anyone visiting Siena.
The hotel was close downtown Siena and parking was on site. The continental breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The AC keep shutting off in the night, made it uncomfortable for sleep.

Overall okay hotel. It’s meant more to come in during the morning while explore and out all day. Rooms are small and you can hear everything that’s going on in the hallway and in othe rooms (e.g., crying baby at 3am). Reception staff (Simone) was helpful and bartender (Lucas) was super nice. View in the terrace is good and peaceful but can’t be use if too close to dinner time.
Great Siena spot just on outskirts of the historic city. Easy uphill walk to the main sites and dinning options. Room was excellent. Breakfast very good. On site parking was essential. Staff all pleasant and helpful. Enjoyed a wine on the terrace to watch an amazing thunder storm rolling around for over an hour.

Location is good. Large property with good parking. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The hotel aesthetic is bland and utilitarian. Breakfast is good. The rooftop deck is lovely but small.
Excellent breakfast included.

Some of the front deskstaff could be a little friendlier. Roof top terrace had great views !
Room was okay, nothing special.
Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Good location. Bathroom was strange. Toilet behind door. Tricky at night. The shower leaks out of the shower wall, there was a weird smell in bathroom whole time. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good.
The hotel is in an excellent location. The room is extremely comfortable and has a beautiful view. All the staff are super friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The breakfast is varied, delicious, and amazing. I would definitely stay here again.
