We recently spent a week at the Hotel Athena and I have nothing bad to say about it! The rooms are rather large, with high ceilings and large windows overlooking a magnificent view. The terrace on the 7th floor is the perfect place for a drink or dinner, or just a little respite in the afternoon. Not only is the... More

This hotel is beautiful. It has so much character and charm as soon as you walk inside. Our room was so beautiful and the view was incredible looking out over the rolling hills of Tuscany! It took our breath away! Due to the gorgeous weather the staff suggested that we enjoy lunch on the Terrace and we are so glad... More

Very good hotel in Siena, about 10 minutes' walk from Piazza del Campo. Very little to complain about really; if I have to be picky, I'd say the fruit juice at breakfast was not very good but otherwise, good. Location good; lovely view of the Tuscan countryside from the upstairs bar. Reception were very friendly & helpful. The room was... More

We just returned from a fabulous 6 night stay at the Athena. The staff are very attentive, the rooms are spacious and modern. The view from our room was spectacular. The food in the restaurant is outstanding. We would recommend this hotel without hesitation.

I stayed at the hotel at the recommendation of a friend, and it was beyond my expectations. The desk staff were warm, welcoming, friendly, professional, and so helpful! The hotel is clean and beautiful. The rooms are wonderful - airy, clean, well organized, and spacious. Breakfast is wonderful and it's open late, so you don't have to get up at... More

Apart from the lack of "Wow factor (special character)", the hotel has everything: excellent location inside of the walls of the city at walking distance from the historical center, free parking, very kind and helpful employees, spacious and comfortable rooms. The perfect stop to visit Sienna.

We had an amazing stay here in Siena at the Hotel Athena. Serena and her staff are very caring and so attentive. The front desk staff will go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. They are always cheerful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

If you drive to Siena you could have a problem as to where you should park your car and so parking facilities become important, but choosing a hotel just because you can park is a bit risky….surely? Well take the risk away and stay at the Athena. Driving from the south and entering the city through Porta San Marco you... More

Even though we usually don't stay at this kind of hotels (a bit outdated for us) I must admit that Hotel Athena proved to be a gem since we had a car - which would have been a nightmare to park and then we would also have to figure out how to get our luggage up or down the medival... More
