5. LA COSTARELLA - very central with unique terrace

Siena City Centre

"Great location and great views. But be aware the AC isn’t in the bedroom, just upstairs in the living area. Also, the shower would not drain. So we had to take super fast showers as to not flood the bathroom, which was less than ideal. My husband waited about half an hour after mine and it had mostly drained. But after his shower, it didn’t drain overnight into the next morning when we left. Hopefully it gets fixed!"

6. SIENA ROMANTICA - a uniquely romantic apartment with terrace

Siena City Centre

"The apartment was clean, and the terrace provided a nice view, and privacy. You could open both of the doors to let the fresh air in. My only complaint is that the bedroom was not as described. It was a very dark room, with no windows that allowed any light, and the mattress is a bit soft. If you like dark bedrooms, than all is ok. The only other note is that you need to carry bags up 72 stairs. If you don’t have a heavy bag, no problem, if you do, be forewarned. "

Top Siena Hotel Reviews

Hotel Athena

8/10 Good

"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."
