Lock in a great price for Hotel Minerva – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Breakfast included a good selection of hot and cold food. A small outside space made up for a very small double room.

Janet, Isle of Man

Easy to find and yet very close to the centre - took 20 minutes to walk to the Piazza del Campo through all the crowds and a couple of detours for men digging up the street - and our room had a lovely terrace with views towards the centre. Functional room with reasonable bed and four pillows - what joy! For some reason most hotels only give you three - I have never worked out why. Blanket provided and needed this time of year. Breakfast reasonable with usual selection of pastries, bread, jams, ham, fruit, yoghurt and self-service tea and coffee, although it is possible to get espresso coffee too, and pancakes. Car park a real bonus in Siena at a very reasonable €12 per night.

Location and facility were excellent with a great view of the old city. It was easy to find. Map was excellent and everything was worth the effort to see and explore. Parking was in a covered garage at extra cost; however, some spaces were in front of the hotel but not available.

George, United States of America

The only sad thing about this hotel was that we only spent one night in it. I stayed at Hotel Minerva in Sept 17 and would happily go back. The first positive was the staff, very friendly, quick and knowledgeable about the area. Then, we were given a fantastic room (#6) that was actually on the lower floor but meant we had a large terrace with an absolutely incredible view of Siena, even from the toilet!! The room was large, clean and well air conditioned. The location is also fantastic as it is only a 15-20 min walk away from the train station and 10-15 min walk away from the famous Siena campo. The breakfast is extensive, to say the list, and definitely allows you to fill up before visiting the wonderful streets of Siena. I 100% recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay there again.

Thomas, United Kingdom

Excellent location. Staff couldn't help you enough, they were terrific!

Lori, New Zealand

Staff was very accommodating. Hotel was very clean and Great breakfast.

Norma, United States of America

A good, well located hotel where we have stayed on many occasions. The staff are welcoming and helpful. Safe accessible parking. Availability of Italian newspapers.

Alison, United Kingdom

Good location. Nice view over Siena. Booked one of only 3 rooms with large terrace/balcony (room 208). Other rooms seemed to have small balcony big enough for table/2 chairs only, and some without balcony. 12-15 minute walk to center of city (steep hill initially!). Adequately sized room. Comfy bed. Bathroom ok-good shower/bidet. Good breakfast included.

David, United Kingdom

Perfect for families traveling by car as hotel at entrance to walled city, where parking is virtually impossible. Hotel parking very convenient, easy 10-15 min walk to historic piazza in center of Siena. Very popular hotel, efficiently run and well organized. Clean rooms with the most comfortable bed we had in our 30 days in Italy. Generous breakfast buffet. Great view out our window of the Duomo and old city - I woke early and painted it!

Wendy, Japan

The beds were comfortable and the room with the balcony that we "upgraded" to had a nice view. The man with glasses on reception warmed to be quite nice by the end of our stay, the lady with glasses in the breakfast room was friendly and the man who helped with our bags in the vest was also nice. The breakfast was fine.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Good location. A short 10 euro cab ride from the train station with luggage. Easy 10 min walk from hotel into the city center. Lovely view of the city from our room, which had a huge terrace. We stayed in Siena for three nights and rented a car to drive around Tuscany for one of the days. Very easy to walk to the Avis rental car business from hotel. If you have a car to park, you can park in their garage for 12 euro/night.”

Christine

United States of America

“We arrived with a car. it was wonderful that they had secure parking, which was locked up at night, the location was great as it was easy to get to and had parking and walking distance of the city center. The breakfast was fabullous too.”

Campesina

United States of America

“the hotel is very well located near all the main highlight of the city. The breakfast is nice and it has parking, which is very convenient given the situation in Siena”

눉Lack of character and small bedroom and en-suite. It was quite a long uphill walk to the centre taking about 25 minutes. Cost of garage for car at 20 euros seemed quite expensive.
눇Breakfast included a good selection of hot and cold food. A small outside space made up for a very small double room.

“Perfect place to stay if want to be near centre of Siena and have a car to park”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉No instructions for the safe, so had to get the man on reception to come and explain - and this took several iterations as even he was not sure. I also wanted hot water and not coffee from the excellent coffee maker in the room - instructions not clear on how to do this but did eventually manage.
눇Easy to find and yet very close to the centre - took 20 minutes to walk to the Piazza del Campo through all the crowds and a couple of detours for men digging up the street - and our room had a lovely terrace with views towards the centre. Functional room with reasonable bed and four pillows - what joy! For some reason most hotels only give you three - I have never worked out why. Blanket provided and needed this time of year.

눉No drawers in bedroom and the lighting was useless for reading in bed. The location though convenient was totally spoilt by the noise every night from a local street party. This went on to 2am and was so loud that closing the windows and putting the a/c on max made no difference.
