Hotel Italia - Σιένα

I chose this hotel for its value, close location to the city and facilities. Although the location was within walking distance to the city centre (20 minutes) and the room (economy) was equipped with a safe, fridge etc, the room was very basic and not that comfortable. The bed linen was old and frayed and there were marks on the wall. I must say however that the bathroom was very clean and modern. The breakfast room was lovely with a good selection of food (cereals, juices, cakes, croissants, eggs and sausages at weekend) and good coffee. The service at front desk was also very good and all the staff were very pleasant. This somewhat made up for the quality of the room. I am not very fussy when it comes to hotel rooms and still enjoyed my stay at the hotel but I would not stay here again. Perhaps the superior rooms are better but I think there are more hotels closer to the centre that I would choose over this one.

really nice breakfast, clean, comfortable and big room for 3 persons. not so far from the central siena.

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful with advice. Its a 400 metre walk to the hotel from the train station. It is up a hill to the hotel which has lovely views and breezes. The hotel is only 10min walk to the Campo.

We arrived in Siena after sunset. Our Garmin GPS running City Navigator Europe Version 8 sent us down the wrong way on a one way street as soon as we entered the city, then lost our position when the streets became narrower and twistier. We could not have reached Hotel Italia in these conditions without asking for directions. Still, this hotel may be the only one within easy walking distance of the town center that offers free parking. Although the actual number of off-street parking spaces belonging to the hotel is no more than half a dozen or so (these are really just tiny pockets formed between the narrow drive way behind the hotel and projections from the walls of the buildings on either side - there is no room to turn even for a small car - you have to carefully back your way out of the obstacle course if all the spaces are taken). You are better off parking on the street just beyond the drive way. The room we first checked into was in disarray. It turned out that one of their cleaning ladies was sick that day, and something got mixed up when the cleaning duties were reassisgned. We were given a free upgrade to an available "Superior Room", which was much roomier and more elegantly decorated, so it actually worked out for us. Wireless internet was not free, but sold in hourly blocks; which we found was common practice in Italy. Leaving was much easier, as we were headed to Florence next, we just had to stay on the road in front of the hotel.

for starters: if you are going to walk to the hotel from the train station, please pay attention: 1)get a map from the tourist office at the station and have them outline the route; 2) when you make a left onto the first street... it is not really a street, it's a dirt path... follow the dirt path all the way to the top... the path then runs into a road... follow that to the top and you are right in front of the hotel. not hard to find, but a little difficult uphill walk on dirt. if you have roller luggage, take the bus in. the location is just outside the walls of siena... but within a 3 minute walk. it's very nicely located just outside the walls. siena is not very big, so anything close is good enough. i recommend renting a car and driving the "22" up to chiante for some wine tasting at the wineries. my wife and i did it on a whim and it was interesting... the views were awesome. neither of us speak any italian and it was still really easy to get around. the hotel itself was ok. not grand, but not garbage either. there is no air conditioning, but there was a fan in the room. and the room had a nice balconey. the room was small, but clean. also, there was not as much noise as i originally thought there would be considering it is on a major street. lastly, if you want a canole, get one before you get to siena. they have no idea what they are.

We stayed at Hotel Italia for two nights. We arrived via train, and chose the hotel because it was well priced and close to the train station. The hotel was a bit more dated then some of the others we stayed in on our trip, and didn't have a lot of charm to it's decor, but it was clean and comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms were a good size. It was a bit of a walk to the center of town, but the location allowed us to be closer to more cost effective dining options. The walk into the main part of the city was not bad at all, and there was a bus station right near the hotel. The staff was helpful. We booked a day excursion from the hotel - there were several options. Breakfast was pretty good too.

Nice, clean hotel,located outside city center. Don't attempt to walk here from train station, up hill with no sidewalks, difficult to find on map. Difficult shower, everything gets wet.

Even with a fourth floor room not facing the street, we still had difficulty sleeping due to all the noise from the street below. This room was much louder than our rooms in Rome, Florence, or Venince during recent Italy trip. This hotel is 25-30 minutes walk from Il Campo, and was a 10 Euro cab ride from train station. Tourists should try another hotel closer to the main sites (Il Campo and the Duomo). Hotel decor in the room looks like something out of the old Soviet Union (dull gray furniture). I will give this hotel bonus points for having whole wheat breads at their breakfast. It was the only whole grain we saw during entire 2 weeks in Italy.

This was absolutely the nicest hotel we stayed in during our trip to Italy. The room was large, comfortable, and very nicely decorated. The bathroom was quite nice. A lot of care went into the hotel's decor. Breakfast was excellent. The staff was fabulous, spoke English well and went out of their way to be helpful. The one negative was that the hotel was quite a distance to the historic center of Siena - it was a good half hour walk along a busy roadway. Also, though it appears close to the railway station on a map, we still had to take a cab - it was further than it looked. I guess if you travel light the distance to the train would be walkable but we always seem to over-pack! All-in-all, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Reception was very welcoming nice tidy room handy to train station and easy walk into town

We really enjoyed our stay in Hotel Italia. Friendly service, very clean, large and nice rooms, great breakfast. Great location, just a short walk into the historical center. Would definitely stay there again.

I arrived in Siena by car during the summer of 2008 while doing research for my website and was pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel had some on site parking as well as ample nearby, legal, street parking. The hotel itself was large for an Italian hotel in this price range. The staff that was somewhat curt but helpful. My room was quite large and very clean. They put out a very nice and large traditional Italian breakfast buffet (no bacon and eggs folks!). For the price, I would consider these accommodations a real bargain for an Italian hotel. The one drawback was that the location is somewhat far from the center of town, requiring a walk of at least 15 minutes (20 is probably more accurate). Still, it is an interesting walk, and worth putting up with if you consider the price for a room nearer the center of town.

Loved staying here. Breakfast was good and the room was clean and tidy. It was very hot when we there and the air con was not that great. Guest can use the pool a another hotel although is a further out of town and can be hard to find.

Once found this hotel is handy for visiting Siena. Room on the ground floor. Hotel used for coach trips tho' they eat in a separate dining room. Lovely breakfast. Room really needed a/c as fan doesn't really solve the problem of a very hot room.

This hotel is a bit of a walk from the historic center of town (about 20 minutes), but the room, on the smallish side, had a lovely terrace with a view of the Tuscan countryside -- an unexpected benefit. The breakfast was generous and the staff was vey helpful.

The room was clean and large enough to fit our suitcases and still have room to maneuver. The bathroom had a shower with shower doors, which is not always the case in hotels in Italy. We also had spectacular views of Tuscany from our room. The staff was friendly and the hotel is located 20 minutes by foot from the main square in Siena.

Matig hotel met weinig parkeergelegenheid. Personeel doet over het algemeen wel zijn/haar best maar de klantvriendelijkheid spat er niet vanaf. Ontbijt + bediening is zeer goed.

Läget är visserligen centralt, men detta obetydliga hotell ligger mitt i ett kvarter kantat av ett oräkneligt antal sexklubbar och snabbmatsställen. Det finns betydligt trevligare ställen i München. Enda fördelen är väl att det är relativt billigt.

ottima posizione sia per quanto riguarda la vicinanza con il centro (15 min a piedi) che con la stazione centrale dei treni (5 min a piedi) e con varie fermate della metro e del tram. posizionata all'interno del quartiere turco ha una diffusa concentrazione di locali a luci rosse, di casinò e altri locali di ritrovo che, per chi ha una camera che affaccia sulla strada, in estate con le finestre aperte, può risultare rumorosa. nel complesso è stata una buona scelta anche se la camera e il bagno non erano molto spaziosi e l'armadio era veramente minuscolo. la nostra camera era silenziosissima xché posizionata sul retro e all'ultimo piano dell'edificio (con ascensore). tutte le camere sono dotate di chiavi magnetiche e c'è la possibilità di un accesso internet gratuito posizionato nella stanza della colazione. la colazione era abbondante anche se ripetitiva e un servizio di pulizia dei tavoli molto svelto ed efficiente. il parcheggio per la macchina era in un edificio vicino convenzionato con l'albergo (12,00 euro al dì).

L'albergo non è male ma la zona è molto caotica,difficile riuscire a dormire.

L'hotel est très bien placé à environ 15 min à pied de la Marienplats (centre historique) et 5 min à pied de la gare principale (noeud important entre les trains, les trams, les bus, le U-Bahn (métro) et le S-Bahn (RER)). Un parking souterrain est disponible à 200 m de l'hotel sur demande et contre paiement d'un petit supplément qui est très honnete pour une ville comme Munich. L'accueil à la réception et le service au petit déjeuner est excellent. Le buffet du matin est très bien garni et tout le monde peut trouver son bonheur. Au niveau de la chambre, tout dépendra de vos voisins. Les chambres sont bien isolées mais les portes le sont pas du tout. Si vos voisins décident de discuter la nuit dans le couloir, vous pourrez presque participer à la discussion. La literie est correcte et la salle de bain également. Seul petit bémol, un léger effort sur la propreté pourrait être fait. Des traces de savon et de calcaire était présente dans la douche. Enfin le jour du départ, le service d'étage est venu toquer à 8h30 pour savoir quand je partais alors que le check out est prévu à 11h. Lorsqu'on a prévu de se lever à 9h (et qu'on a mis sur la porte "ne pas déranger"), ce n'est jamais très agréable. Je conseillerais tout de meme cet hotel à d'autres clients mais sans être trop insistant.

Hallo

god service hyggelig betjening fin spisesal

a colazione c'era di tutto!! ed era tutto buonissimo. mi è piaciuto molto anche il terrazzo sulla camera

albergo carino anche se la stanza non aveva aria condizionata, posizione molto favorevole e stanze pulite e graziose. il personale e' stato cortese e disponibile.

Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist gut. Man darf nur nicht erwarten in der Münchener City ungestört bei offenem Fenster schlafen zu können. Ansonsten ist die Lage jedoch günstig. Bahnhof, Tram und Altstadt sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Für einen Kurztrip von vier Tagen ist das Hotel okay.

tres correct pour le prix, Propre, pres de la gare centrale et petit dejeuner honorable. Un peu bruyant.

La mia camera denominata "economica" era piccola, priva di doccia, con una TV vecchia e un ventilatore super rumoroso...Non è un hotel 3 stelle è molto facile trovare di meglio....

Cet hotel a un confort plus que correct pour les chambres dites "economic", le petit déjeuner complet est très bon et compris dans le prix. Le seul problème était le bruit de la circulation et des personnes qui passaient devant notre chambre, des fenêtres doubles vitrages seraient appréciées.

servizio buono, pulizia ok,camera matrimoniale piccola.

abbiamo trascorso una giornata a Siena e cercavamo un hotel che avesse lo stretto necessario per trascorrere una notte...abbiamo trovato un ottimo hotel...pulizia eccellente e questo è quel che conta...la colazione era fantastica...c era di tutto e di piu...l hotel è vicinissimo al centro e grazie alla sua posizione non dovrete toccare la macchina durante la vostra permanenza...

Standard Doppelzimmer sind nach vorn zur Straße gelegen-das kann recht laut werden, zumal nicht alle Klimaanlage haben und so Fenster auf eine gute Wahl ist. Die Superior Doppelzimmer sind nach hinten gelegen. Frühstück ist für italienische Verhältnisse sehr gut und umfangreich. Duschen setzte bei uns das gesamte Badezimmer unter Wasser, weil keine seperate Duschwanne. Ansonsten guter Service, 10min Fußweg zum Beginn der Altstadt-wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.
