I had a great stay at this property, it was very quiet. The front desk people were not that helpful with questions, the restaurant servers NOT friendly or helpful at all. The breakfast was just cold. The hotel is about 10 min walking from the the Main Street in the old town and 15-20 min straight walk to train station.

Rooms are in need of updating. Rooms are old and plain. Pillows are hard as a rock. Low water pressure for shower. Rooms are clean but there is a little mildew smell. AC was great. Way over priced for the weekend of the Palio.

Lovely spacious room. Could use a teakettle though. Beautiful view from our window. Very good location. We could walk into the historical part of the city in 5-10 minutes. The local bus stop was a matter of a one minute walk away from the hotel doors as well. The breakfast was excellent. Perhaps the only negative comment I could make is that the breakfast staff seemed neither relaxed nor happy, though they were polite. I’m not sure of the reason for this but it might be something that the hotel should explore.

Efficient check in, staff were friendly and accommodating when they put us in a room that had yet to be cleaned. Clearly some but not all rooms have been renovated/updated based on website photos as both rooms we went into were less appealing then hospital rooms - very unfortunate as we were expecting much nicer and were surprised by the difference presented on the website versus what we actually received.

The staff at hotel Minerva were friendly and accommodating. For example, we had a bottle of wine that needed a corkscrew, and they provided not only a corkscrew, but a bucket full of ice. The view from the balcony overlooking Siena really gorgeous. And the location being right beside the city old mediaeval Fortress wall was quite cool to be able to walk around and see the sites. Also, just a 10 minute walk into the city Square.

Albergo accogliente e dal buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. È un po’ datato nella struttura. Le camere andrebbero rinnovate, ma sono decenti e pulite. Se cercate un hotel moderno questo non fa al caso vostro. Tuttavia, mi sento di consigliarlo perché è pulito, la colazione è abbastanza assortita ed il personale è molto gentile. Anche la posizione permette di raggiungere il centro a piedi piuttosto agevolmente.

I was appalled at the treatment of the front staff. Those that appeared to be upper management were extremely rude. There was a young girl by the name of Sophia and a night receptionist (male) that were kind and went over and above! The ladies working in the cafeteria and the maids were extremely kind too. In fact, I would go to them for assistance in order to avoid the front desk.

We really liked our one night here. The location is close enough to easily walk to the city center but far enough away for it to be quiet when the city is bustling at night. We had a room with a terrace view of the city and enjoyed the couple hours we were able to sit out there. It's also conveniently located near the train station, only about five minutes by taxi to get there.
