“Excellent hotel in Sienna”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I spent 4 nights in this hotel early January 2012 whilst exploring Siena. Would certainly recommend it to other travellers (and stay there again) for the following reasons - convenient location from top of escalators to / from railway station. Very easy to find and an enjoyable walk to the city centre; very friendly staff and very good breakfasts / coffee (don't usually have biscuits with hot chocolate as part of our breakfast but we adapted well); room was clean as was to be expected; wonderfull view over part of Sienna from our large window; Wifi available but at a very small additional cost. Excellent value for money. Possible improvements - incorporate the wifi charge into the room price purely from a convenience perspective and provide warm / hot scrambled eggs (this last comment could apply to the majority of Italian hotels we stayed at during our Italian holiday). In summary very hard to fault - really great staff, really great location and value for money.

Dear Philandlis,
many thanks for sharing your opinion about Hotel Italia Siena on Trip Advisor, your reviews are very helpful to improve and to give indication to other guests.
About your suggestions I want to say that you’re right about Internet connection. It would be much better offering free WIFI access, but unfortunately Italian Taxes on it are so high that it’s very hard to us…let’s hope something will change in the future… In the meantime we keep the cost as low as we can as you mention it’ s a very small additional cost.
About breakfast we do have hot scrambled eggs every day and also bacon or sausage depending on the day… You can find hot food at the end of the buffet inside the chef and dish.

Grazie for your nice words about staff and services, they give us a big boost to do our job with more and more enthusiasm.
I really hope to welcome you again, best regards.

The Manager Federica Fiochi and all the Staff

“Loved it!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I loved the little room we got...kinda cramped staircase getting in, but very roomy and probably the best accommodation we had in Italy! It was very clean, newly renovated, a well decorated washroom (and room in general), with AC (a must in summer). The breakfast was also very extensive.
Location was also excellent if you want to be away from the crowds (it requires a bit of a walk to the center of town), but the walk is amazing and would have been missed had we stayed closer. There is also a park nearby that has amazing views of Siena...a must-see!!
Everything is still walking distance so I totally recommend this hotel!

We stayed here for only one night, but wish we could have stayed for more!!

Room Tip: We stayed in the condo units on the side as opposed to the hotel rooms...they were great!

Dear Ian,

I really appreciate your review about Hotel Italia Siena, GRAZIE!
Me and the staff, we are all very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, it’s our main goal. Your satisfaction is our pleasure.
I think the view you talk about is the one from the wonderful terrace of our 4 star Hotel, Garden, where our guests can park for free…and you’re right… it’s absolutely amazing!!! Just think tourist bus stop there to take pictures!
Let’s wait for your next longer visit in Siena, hoping you’ll choose us again.
Best regards.

“Fantastic, friendly hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We spent 2 wonderful nights at this hotel. Our room was very large, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We found the hotel easily following directions from the train station up the multiple escalators to the top of the hill and turn right and just a short walk from there. The city gate and old city center was a lovely stroll from the hotel passing wonderful pizzarias and gelato shops along the way. We bought different kinds of pizza and had a picnic in the nearby piazza. The breakfast at the hotel was included and very plentiful and delicious with hot entrees.
All the staff at the front was very friendly and helpful with maps at the ready with all the sights marked. The wifi was free (perhaps because we stayed more than 1 night) and worked well the whole time we were there. We felt the rooms were reasonably priced for the proximity to the center and amenities offered. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would want to stay here again and again.

Room Tip: We chose the newer high tech room.

“Nicest hotel of our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

What a wonder ful hotel-whish we could have put it on wheels and towed it with us. It began with a happy greeting by the girls at the front desk. We were accompanied by my sister who was in a wheelchair. Our Cosmos guide, Silvio, had called ahead and got our room assignments which made check in a breeze. Just gave our room number and we were off to our rooms. We were in a beautiful annex just outside the front door. Large and beautiful, and best of all my sister had a double step in shower.
Many walked to the large square, but we were not feeling so ambitious. I had read about a restaurant Fonteguisto. The desk clerks made a reservation for us. It was not far down the street, and had great food. The steak was very tender-not the norm
we found as we travled on-menu was varied and reasonable. Mostly local patrons-a good sign. There were several local shops near the hotel. A great experience-wish it had been for more than one night.

“Great Hotel; Wonderful Staff.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

Hotel Italia is just outside the city wall very close to the bus stop and at the top of the escalators from the train station. It is a very easy, comfortable 15 – 20 minute to the central square. We enjoyed the walk at the end of the day to help digest yet another delicious dinner! Breakfast is good with lots of options and served in a bright, communal room. There is a coffee machine that makes a decent cappuccino (though skip the espresso solo).

What made our stay so enjoyable was the staff. We were always greeted with smiles and all of our questions answered professionally (even ones about transportation in/out of Siena). Grazie Elaine!

Our room was one of the newly remodeled Executive Rooms; it was very nice and had a great view as well. The room was immaculate and felt spacious even though it is a standard size. Did I mention complimentary mini-bar and free, reliable WiFi! The bar isn’t stocked full or anything, but it was a nice touch that made you feel...welcome.

I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to anyone visiting.
