The hotel is on the older side, the room was a throwback to the 80s or 70s.
The cleaning staff did a great job of keeping it clean which makes it better
Amazing view of Siena from the room
We have just completed a 7 week trip to Europe and have stayed at 7 different hotels and Hotel Minerva tops them all.Location is perfect and the staff was amazing.They were very helpful and friendly which we appreciated.Always nice to stay at a place that offers breakfast and rest assured you will enjoy a wide variety of offerings.
The rooms are very clean, ours was large with a full terrace overlooking the city. Only complaint is that it's quite nosy between floors and walls.
offering selection of pastries
Great choice for Siena— convenient from station and piazza del campo. Nice views and rooms with comfortable mattresses. Friendly staff!

The room was very small but the view was worth it. It was a good hotel in terms of location just a few all to most attractions and convenient for the train station
Everyone was very helpful and there was a lot of food choices. However, my husband got a rotten apple for breakfast.
The mattress was very uncomfortable though.
Nice room, clean hotel, friendly desk staff, and top notch breakfast. This is our second time staying here in the past 5 years; would stay again in the future!
The view from our room was beautiful! The staff at check in was so helpful and kind. They help change our room so we could have a view inside of the view of the side of a building.

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.
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.
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.
The area was great for exploring Seina. The room was a little smaller than expected but we only used the room for sleeping. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was good. Would stay there again.
