One of ours best hotel experience!!
The friendliest and service level of all the staff and well maintained buildings was what made this staying so great!! (Must be a great management there).
The location is good, just innside the old town wall, and there are about 25 minutes walk to reach the opposite side of the old town, but on the way there is so much nice to look at that you probably spend a lot more time! Siena is definitely a place too spend a couple of days in!
The room at the hotel, the breakfast, the bar and the dinner was well above my expectations!!!

Hotel Athena was planned for just one night because we rented a car for a week of sight-seeing all through Tuscany. It's a great location and we should have stayed longer. The hotel and Staff very very nice and the room was great!

We loved that the hotel was on the edge of Siena, but just inside the city wall, so that we could drive right up to the hotel and park but then walk easily anywhere in the city. The hotel itself was lovely, with fantastic staff and excellent breakfast. Our room was clean, very comfortable, with nice decor. We would definitely return to the Hotel Athena - perfect for us in Siena.
