Our driver had a difficult time finding the hotel, not because it's hidden, but because the roads are confusing and limited to traffic. Once we found it, we had a lovely stay. Our room was beautiful, we had a small balcony overlooking the rooftops of Siena. The hotel is in the middle of Siena and an easy walk to the... More

This hotel's location in Siena is excellent. It is central to the major attractions in the city and you are able to walk to everything. However, the street noise can be irritating and make it difficult to sleep. The staff is attentive and eager to please. The hotel does not fall into the five star category and requires updating and... More

The Grand Hotel Continental seems to be the ideal setting for a visit to beautiful Siena -- an ancient palazzo, steps away from all the Campo and the Duomo. But the hotel, despite its location in the center of one of the most magical cities in the world, is utterly without charm. Its once-elegant rooms are shabby and run-down; the... More

I do NOT mind paying top dollar when the product is so wonderful. Spent 3 nights here and loved this hotel. Service was top notch. Our room was amazing, with soaring ceilings with frescoes. Stunning. First class all the way. Be forewarned: do not simply plug the hotel address into your GPS and expect to get there. The GPS throws... More

This hotel is a gem. A grand style hotel built from a palazzo from the 17th c.; fabulous location and great service. The rooms are beautiful, mine had frescoed ceiling and beautiful decor. I loved the whimsical art throughout the hotel which contrasted so nicely with the heavy antiques and palazzo style of construction. The staff were lovely and all... More

Old world with tasteful styling, very professional service and strategic location best describes this hotel. Rooms vary in size with classical and antique decor. Bathrooms are all modern and tasteful. Breakfast buffet unmemorable, especially the coffee. Valet parking a definite plus, since driving through this ancient city was an adventure.

We have decided we like small to mid-sized Italian towns. This is our first visit to Siena and the Grand Hotel Continental. The hotel tans ports you back to the days of the grand tour of the continent. Old world beauty and service with all modern conveniences. Great location first rate staff.

Plenty of character in the palatial hotel in the historic centre, not far from the Campo. I booked this for a group and we all enjoyed our stay. We had no trouble finding it by car and the best thing was being able to dump it on the road, letting the staff valet park it for us. Service and rooms... More

In a 17 century palace perfectly renewed this LHW is perfect to enjoy Siena. The rooms and the amenities are of high standard, even tough for a longer stay I'd advice the Deluxe that is slightly bigger. Breackfast could be improved, but again also here the service is perfect.
