A historic treat
How often do you get to stay in a hotel in a building started in the 1200's. The place was obviously quirky but that is what you would expect. However, everything worked and the staff were great.
Our room was obviously part of a historic extension at the back of the tower.

This is a basic hotel with a good bed, clean room and a great shower. It's also right in the heart of Siena and the staff are wonderful. The breakfast is not lavish but more than adequate (coffee, croissant, butter, jam). It is very cheap for what you get and I loved staying there.

Lovely 4 nights in Siena.
Good hotel, great location, no lift to my knowledge (but could be wrong), nice spacious room, plug by bed was either a Type E or type M though - the only European plug socket in the room was on the other side of the room. Lovely staff, great view of the town. Wool blankets slightly uncomfortable but ok.

Some pros, mostly cons
Pros: great location, just a couple of blocks from bus station, main plaza, grocery store, deli with great pizza by the slice, excellent gelato shop. Cons: Shabby and dirty. Bits of stuff on the floor from last guests, sheets had some kind of lint/debris on them. Part of the shower stall was taped together. Very noisy, with partiers making noise all night and I could hear the guy in the next room snoring during the night (as if he was right in my room). I just put up with it because of the great location and the fact that I was only there a couple of days. Next time, I would spend a little more money for a better place.

Sleep with windows open for fresh air.
Hotel appears very clean but we had to choose between a room that smelled of stale cigarette smoke and another that had excess bleach odor to mask mildew odor. Hallways were fine. Previous night was full due to an holiday. Breakfast is bread/jam or cereal/milk and coffee. Overall, it's okay but I would stay somewhere else next time.
I'm sorry for the cigarette smoke.

Convenient location, clean
Last minute booking found us at Canon d'oro in the heart of historical area of Siena. The rooms are basic but very clean. The breakfast was pretty basic. Croissants came out of a plastic bag so that wasn't so great but did the job. For one night this hotel met our needs.

Hotel in downtown Siena
Stayed at the Cannon one night on the way from Florence to Rome with the family. In retrospect should have done Siena as a day trip from Florence, much as I love Siena (I excavated at an archaeological site near Siena in 1977). The Cannon room and bath were basically ok, just old and hardly worth the cost.

Good budget in the city centre
The hotel is very well located. The staff was friendly and efficient.Tv un the room did not work, but I was not counting on that. It got a bit cold at night but the staff explained they were not allowed to turn the heating on at night before the end of the month ( apparently there's some sort of regulation), but it's Italy so never too cold. Breakfast was simple but coffee was good. Would recommend for short budget stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cannon d'Oro and recommend it to anyone who wants to stay inside the traffic-free section of Siena. The location, relative to Piazza del Campo, is superb, only about a 5 minute walk. Although the street below the hotel can get a bit noisy at times, due to night time revelers, we didn't mind and viewed it as something of a "cultural bonus." We have been to Siena three times and will definitely look into staying at the Cannon d'Oro, if we're fortunate enough to have a fourth trip.

Don't go there.
We spent a sleepless night here in August.It was very hot in Italy these days. There was no AC in the hotel and our room was facing the street. In order to get some air we had to open the window. The street is narrow, busy, noisy, everything around is stone and one could hear the echo of people walking,talking,laughing and shouting until 3-4 am as if it was up in the room. There was something like a TV/monitor? in the room which didn't work. The breakfast was ridiculous: instant coffee, packaged pastries and cheap cereal. The room was clean and the linens were immaculate. Overall, for the price we paid, we could have found a better place.

A veritable gem!
This charming almost-hidden charmer was our favorite of 5 hotels in our recent trip to Italy. We had taken a bus from Florence and disembarked at Bar Lizza. We used the free WiFi there to find a hotel that would be close to our location so we could settle down quickly. This wonderful haven was about a 5-minute walk, granted over uneven centuries-old pavers, but what a find! It is a 13th century building full of history and charm. You walk through doors and over pavers that have been there forever. The room was large and so comfortable, and the bath small but perfectly adequate, with a wonderful shower! The very substantial breakfast is served in a room that takes you up and down corridors and stairs that have been around for quite a while! Every person at the front desk was over-the-top friendly, welcoming and full of information and assistance. We opened our shutters to look out over a side street and, in the distance, the hills of Tuscany. Magical! The main reason for our visit to Siena was to visit the Sanctuary of St. Catherine and Basilica San Domenico, and without our even knowing it, we had booked a hotel that was 200 yards and 300 yards, respectively, from these two holy sites. We were also an easy (relatively speaking, given the VERY streets of Siena!) walk from Piazza del Campo and Il Duomo. There was noise in the main street on which the hotel entrance is located, and even on the side street, but don't let this turn you off.

Hotel in Siena
We did not enjoy this hotel. There is no air conditioning which made the hotel unbearable. It was so much hotter in the hotel than outside. The hotel is also very old and we could tell that nothing had been redone recently. There was free wifi, but it was very slow. The only good thing about this hotel was the location which was very close to the city center. We would not stay here again.

You can find better
VERY loud room... we were unable to sleep because people were yelling and singing outside our window until almost 5am. The room itself is very bare and basic. There is paint peeling in the bathroom and the shower is over the toilet. There is a ceiling fan but it made such a squeeking noise that we could not use it. The breawkfast was cereal and packaged pastries only. There was also only one outlet in the entire room, which makes charging tough. The hotel needs to be upgraded and we found a nicer place for a similar price down the street. Great location in the heart of Siena and very nice staff.

Location is the best of Siena hotels. Next to everything but tucked away so you can sleep at night. Town gets loud at night as people are out late (very fun). Clean hotel, fast wi-fi, basic rooms...but you're not in them too often. Would stay here again!

Convenient location, close to all tourist attractions, restaurants and shopping. Please note, there is no parking on site. If you need to park, research your parking beforehand. The hotel offers breakfast that is average, nothing spectacular. The rooms are bare, reminded me of a student residence. The bathroom has no lock. The hotel room was large and clean with comfortable beds.

Unique Hotel in the edge of the old city
Hotel was beautifully situated at the edge of the old city only a 5 minute walk to Piazza Del Campo and the Duoma. The hotel staff were friendly and knowledgeable and directed us to the sites and to the food establishments. Room was comfortable and uniquely old and enjoyable. Breakfast and parking although both available were the only weak points. Wonderful stay and great value.

Okay for one night
We stayed in Siena for one night. It being July (super busy in italy) and hotel located nearby city center, we chose it. The interior could benefit from decor change; the walls were bare white and it felt like we were in a hospital. No hair dryer or iron, either. It was allright for one night and location was great ( close to little shops, restaurants and city center)

My family and I really liked this hotel. The location is fantastic. You can drive right up to it by following the hotel signs the city posts. However I recommend not trying to drive down that driveway unless your car is very narrow.

perfect in it's class
We enjoyed a clean, warm, affordable stay in this exceptional location. Steps from bus square and shopping street. Stroll to sights. Walk to train....use the Camilla gate and escalators. Only point to consider is no air-conditioning... In summer that may be a consideration. But old stone building in excellent repair may be OK. Large American style ceiling fan in our room

Hotel in the center of Siena
I ordered on Expedia 2 nights, and Expedia promised a discount for the third night. However, in the hotel I had to pay the same price for the third night, which is disappointing. Another thing: the street is Very Noisy in night. You open windows and enjoy yelling, screaming etc. The bathroom is relatively small and the bidet there is an obstacle, not an advantage. Generally, bidets is tiny bathrooms is a crazy Italian standard.

Smack in the Heart of Siena
Location, location, location. This hotel is smack in the heart of Siena, nothing could be simpler. IIt is within walking distance to the bus stops-which is the only way my son andI will travel in Italy now, as the trains are unreliable, learned the hard way. Breakfast is modest but at the fabulously affordable budget hotel prices in the peak of high season, honestly, one cannot moan even if breakfast is NOT included. It's a basic cold continental breakfast. Siena is a mid-evil town and almost all the buildings are very old. The only fault would be the lack of budget to upkeep the hotel. Our toilet cistern was limping on it's last legs and desperately need a replacement. The much needed ceiling fan creek as it spun every 5 minutes but the hotel staff readily gave us a wonderful portable one that worked brilliantly Furniture is nothing fancy and outdated. However, we saw maids thoroughly cleaning each room daily without shortcuts. Staff was excellent, helpful and knowledge and fluent in many languages. Both my finicky 16 year old son and myself was very pleased with this hotel overall and would stay there again without a second thought as the location, price and the staff made up for the lack of the other conveniences. BTW, Siena is so gorgeous, who'd want to stay in a hotel all day anyway.

Right in the heart of Siena
I had a very pleasant stay here for 2 nights. It was a little confusing to get to from the train station, but the location of the hotel was great for wandering around the heart of Siena. After spending a night down at Il Campo or a local restaurant, it was very easy to just wander back to my hotel within 5-8 minutes. The front desk service was very friendly and helpful - they even called and booked a tour for me. After experiencing other hotels in Europe with a less than decent Wi-Fi connection, I was also able to use my connection here to Skype home as it was very good. Couldn't have asked for more, great value.
