The size and comfort of the room was wonderful along with the fantastic breakfast. It was a little farther away from the center of town, but that was an advantage with our rental car. |

Lovely breakfast and views. Great bar staff and prepared to stay up late to serve our choir . Would be nice to have tea/coffee in our rooms . also rooms very dark in the casa bianco. Shower rooms need to have the grouting cleaned up - looking a bit tired . |

Almost everything!! Situation, Facilities, Cleanliness, Breakfast, and particularly the friendly helpful and informative (English-speaking) staff. We were a party of 85 singers - Hertfordshire Chorus - and we were treated like royalty. There were large soundproof rooms for us to rehearse and party. We would highly recommend the Hotel Garden for groups as well as families and couples. Although breakfast was very good the evening meal menu was limited and rather expensive. |

Free parking enough for all guests. The location is excellent if you have a car. Small room with updated futniture. No coffe/tea facilities in the room. The hotel is smoke-free - no mention of that either at Booking.com nor in the hotel web site. Old 17" TV [for a 4 stars hotel I would expect a LCD flat screen]. Exremely expensive internet in the loby [costs 6 euros/h !]. Based on the rooms I would consider this hotel as 3 star [at most]. Even with a car, one has to consider about 15 minutes ride to the city center. |

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel garden. The hotel staff upgraded us to a deluxe double in the villa where the view of Siena was unbeliveable. The morning breakfast was excellent with a large variety of things to eat and drink including many cappuccinos drunk by us. The hotel staff was extremely helpful in answering questions and parking our rental car was easy and convenient. Finally the rooms although not fancy were very clean. I would recommend the Hotel Garden to others who want a place reasonable close to town (1.5 miles from center) and need a place to park a car. The only complaint I have was the bed were too firm for me. I have a bad back and unfortunately the very firm beds agrivated the problem |

Amiable staff, great views of Siena, garden setting, comfortable bar and restaurant It's a bus ride from the old city center, which makes it quiet, but a ways from Siena's main attractions. |

The hotel is worth staying at for the superb view it offers over the city towards the centre of Siena. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was well worth having in the all inclusive price. Our allocated room smelled strongly of stale cigarette smoke. However, the staff willingly offered another room. The rooms and bathroom are quite small. They were value for money on the pre-paid three day package but definitely not worth the full rack rate. The swimming pool was out of order for part of the stay and the water looked less than appealing when it was working. We were both badly bitten while sitting at the poolside. |

Location very good and beautiful hotel grounds. Also staff very pleasant and helpful. Hotel was very quiet at peak times probably because the drinks tariff very expensive. ie nine euro for a gin & tonic. |

Relaxing by the pool was very enjoyable and the town of Siena was only a short walk away. I found the hotel was missing a fitness room and gym. |

I booked a superior double room - was allocated room in one of the annexes. It was very quite - which I liked - convenmient to the maion hotel block and conveneient to the pool. Excellent breakfast, served by courteous staff. King size bed - very firm - even hard but slept well. Conveneint to buses to city centre - 95c tickets available at hotel. Bus available to San Gimigniano near hotel.Easy walk to city centre - 30 minutes.Relaxing view over city. Good place for quite break. Internat access (designated as high speed - seemed a little slow at times) was available at 5 euro per half hour. Seemed expensive but half hour can be spread over many days.Evening meal was quite expensive I I found Siena expecsive anyway)- three courses could have cost up to 45 euro. 'Rose garden' sadly neglected - pity |

The bar staff were impolite, the toilet at the pool is disgusting and the hotel grounds are in poor repair. Breakfast was poor. A great shame because as your brochure states the building is rare and beautiful. |

We stayed at the Garden Hotel in our last trip top SIena where we use to go nearly every year for a few days as we love the City and its surroundings, The Hotel is charming, clean confortable and the staff is very helpful and committed. The city centre is only far 20 minutes walking or there is a very frequent bus service. We also dined there and the food was very good and fairly priced. We will certainly return on our next trip. |

The bar and restaurant staff were very helpful The rooms had not been cleaned properly and I think that the star rating is not correct. At best this is a 3 star hotel. |

Hotel Athena is within the historic city walls, and enjoys spectacular views of Siena and the Tuscan hills. The cathedral and Piazza del Campo are a short walk away. |
This elegant, recently-restored bed and breakfast is located 1.5 km from the historical centre of Siena and was originally an ancient farmhouse. |
Located in the heart of the Contrada della Torre, just 200 metres from Piazza del Campo, this recently-renovated hotel blends modern comforts with traditional Gothic Medieval architecture. |
Surrounded by a large garden and park, this four-star hotel is ideal for clients looking for a peaceful, warm and cordial atmosphere and excellent cuisine. |
