"We stayed here Aug 2025, coming in from Florence. Siena is absolutely gorgeous and Hotel Athena was the perfect hotel to explore the area. The hotel itself was very nice, updated, good sized rooms with nice bathroom. Tea kettle in the room and water in the fridge (at no extra cost) was appreciated after long days on the hills of the town. We dined at the rooftop restaurant twice and the food was excellent, views were unbelievable. As to the hotel staff- I can’t give them enough stars! The front desk staff were so welcoming and helped us arrange a day tour, figure out our return to the train station etc. The restaurant staff was also very good and always checked on us. Oh- the breakfast buffet can’t be missed. Well worth it and no extra charge. Excellent hotel- highly recommend "

"The building, the views, the staff, the food, everything was just incredible. It was so quiet we felt like we were the only people there until we went for breakfast and realised there were others in the hotel. The view from the our room at the back of the hotel over the Tuscan hills will live with me for a very long time. "

"Very nice hotel "

"service was great, they helped us plan our time there and the city of Sienna was fantastic. The hotel is outside the main area but 1-2 minutes away in a great location"

"Loved this hotel - great location. Really quiet despite such a central location. Yes rooms are not super modern but they reflect the history of the building. Great pool and breakfast on the terrace."
