to get started.

It’s easy to get to, parking is very convenient, and the building is immaculate. Its location is very convenient - literally a 10 minute walk to the Duomo or to the Campo. Best of all, the staff are friendly, courteous, professional, and skilled. A gem in my favorite city!

The location was great. Easy to get to, convenient free parking, and a short walk to all the main sights. Breakfast was great - a large selection and fresh. Staff was very friendly. Our room was on the eighth floor and was quiet with a great view. The provision of bathrobe, slippers, and quality toiletries was appreciated.

Location was great. Had great food, walking distance from the Historic Siena.

Valfredo

The free parking and the hotel's location just inside the city's walls made Hotel Athena a great choice for us during our Tuscany vacation. The hotel is a very short walk into the center of Siena, and the free parking made it easy for us to drive to other cities like Volterra, Pienza, Montepulciano, and San Gimignano. Tamara at the front desk was especially helpful, and the dining room staff for both dinner and breakfast were also wonderful. If we return to Siena, the only choice for us will be Hotel Athena!!

Though they accept dogs and provide a bowl and bed for them they don’t like you to leave them alone in the room at all which wasn’t very clear on the time of booking. We take our dog with us everywhere but if we had wanted to visit museums this would have been a problem.
Good location and parking onsite which is a must given Siena doesn’t seem to have any parking. Breakfast included which was also a plus.
