We got upgraded to this property because the property we were booked on was closed for renovation. Let's just say we did not complain :) The location was just awesome and you walk out into the town square and it's bustling with people and activity. It's also close to various sight seeing places so we went wine tasting around Siena... More

We were able to walk to the hotel from the bus station in about 5 minutes and is located right on the main street in Siena. All of the hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel was nice...definetely not a 5 star hotel, but nice. The rooms were comfortable and spacious (for European standards). The bathroom has some... More

To say that the location is perfect is an understatement. You walk out of the hotel smack right into the main street in Siena. The front desk staff is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We stayed in a suite with its own patio and three beds (queen plus two for our kids). The room was quiet - ignore... More

After touring Tuscany twice in the last year I can truly say this is not a 5 star hotel in Tuscany. Before I checked into Siena I was saying at the Savoy in Florence which was a true 5 star experience. The room was sup-par and the service was horrible. Not worth the money we sent. Relatively this hotel may... More

This was hands down our FAVORITE hotel in Italy. With a perfect location right in the heart of this spectacular medieval town, it was like staying in a renovated cottage! The concierge here was by far our favorite. He scheduled everything for us, all transfers, allowed us to go on a private tour of the incredible wine cellar beneath the... More

My family and I toured through Italy in rainy April. We spent two nights at this hotel. It is supposedly a five star hotel, but it is not. It is old and has charm, but it is not in a class with the other old, grand hotels in Europe. For one, our room was overlooking the street, and there was... More

We stayed there 3 nights in March and had a great time! The hotel is located in the historic part of Siena, about 5-10 minutes walk from Piazza del Campo. Historic Siena is pedestrian only unless you are a resident or city services. The hotel is a converted palazzo on one of the main pedestrian roads to Piazza del Campo.... More

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Continental for only one night at the end of March 2012. As everyone has said the hotel's architecture is lovely and the position is most certainly superb. We ate in the hotel restaurant. The staff were fabulous and the food really good. We would most certainly eat there again. The restaurant is a little... More

Located in the heart of Old Town, the hotel is a converted 14th century building. They have done a beautiful job of "modernizing" the building while maintaining the integrity of the beautiful architecture. My room was beautiful with painted ceilings in Italian motif Location is central so you can walk to many sights. Staff was very helpful. While it is... More
