The view was breathtaking, but if you don’t have a balcony with a city view it would honestly suck. Worth paying the extra for the balcony. The breakfast was good with lots of variety. It was clean, and comfy and close to touristy things. They have a TV with Netflix sign in for nighttime which is nice.

We booked a room with a balcony for 2 nights and initially were given a room without one. We talked to the staff and they said they could only move us the next day so we only got one night with the balcony room we had paid for, and apparently when you book the balcony room, only “some” actually have them. I think it should be cheaper to not have one. You could also just book the room with the nice big terrace and be sure to get the good view but it’s more expensive.

The location was perfect, everything we wanted to see in Siena was in walking distance. We booked an economy room and were pleasantly that it was quite spacious, the bed was large and comfortable and it was clean. The hotel was a perfect base for visiting family and sightseeing and the reception area is very attractive. The included breakfast had plenty of choice and was generous and varied although the dining room is quite crowded and the tables are close together. The staff were friendly and worked extremely hard, I would recommend more staff at breakfast as cutlery and plates ran out. Fresh coffee is available from the bar at breakfast which is much nicer than from the machine For a city centre hotel it was fairly quiet at night and we slept well, we had a garden view but also a side view of the hillside and city which was very nice. Was glad of the provided water in the minibar which wasn’t over expensive.

Understaffed at breakfast, had to wait for plates and cutlery.

Hotel Minerva is one of the few hotels located within the city walls of Siena that provide parking space in the same building: very useful when you intend to explore the countryside. Our room was quite big, but most importantly, it had a view of part of the old centre, including San Francesco. The hotel is only a 15-minute walk to the centre, but it is fairly close to some of the most authentic restaurants: we must thank the very friendly staff at the reception, who gave us plenty of useful tips and were always eager to help!

Breakfast could be better, especially the juices and the bread...

A great hotel in a good location. We walked up from the train & bus station, prob 15-20mins. A pleasant walk into the old town again maybe 15-20 mins to Piazza and Duomo. Our room was a decent size, plenty of space to put suitcases, clothes etc. Bathroom was quite narrow but shower was a good size and worked well. The best thing was the terrace, it was fabulous. So nice to sit out there in the afternoon or evening and enjoy the view and listen to the drumming nearby. The room didn't have a kettle but the reception were happy to give us a pot of hot water, tea bags and milk if we wanted. Good choice for breakfast, didn't have a warmer so the eggs were usually cold.

Nothing really apart from not having a warmer to keep the eggs warm at breakfast

Siena is "Must-stay small cultural city". Hotel Minerva's valcony view, rooms ,the area,breakfast...everything was amazingly fantastic!‼︎ Hotel lobby has plenty of space,and everywhere at this hotel has beautiful fragrance of flowers...‼︎ We had the best experience here in this trip spending time at this valcony surrounded by fragrance of seasonal flowers and gazing the fantastic view. But, more than that, I felt the most wonderful thing at this hotel is "people" serviceing for us there. They were always very relaxed and charming and fun people! So we enjoyed talking with them a lot! Grazie mille for everything, ARIGATO from Japan! We will never forget this hotel Minerva, and beautiful city Siena.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel was 5 minutes from the centre.

The eggs were cold at breakfast. They came out of the kitchen hot but soon got cold as the wete placed right under the air conditioner and they had no warmer to keep them warm. We did not have enough shampoo/shower soap as my daughter and I both have long hair which we like to wash every day and the sachets were not enough.

Good location just after the entrance to the walled city and a couple of blocks from the main street and the bus terminal. 20 minutes walking to the train station. The room is spacious and clean with great views -though this was on the third floor-. The breakfast buffet selection is good and almost everything tastes great. The view from the garden is amazing so be sure to have breakfast there. Staff is always available and courteous.

Pillows could be better.

All the staff were very helpful and pleasant during our short stay. The location of the Hotel was perfect to explore this lovely place. Complimentary breakfast was very filling and our room view was terrific, great helpful advice from Sonia in reception who was very professional throughout. Discovered many fabulous restaurants and architectural features to discover.

Liked everything

We got the room with balcony with good view as we ask for when booking. The room was very clean. The breakfast was very good. There was a nice garden that you can The staffs were very nice and helpful. We could borrow wine glasses and water glasses from the bar. The hotel is near a bus stop and take 10 minutes walk to city centre. We will surely stay here again whenever we visit Siena in the future.

The fridge was small and the handle was broken. The bathroom was very small. No kettle or coffee machine in the room.

Hotel Minerva is clean, well-managed, roomy, and reasonably priced. It is also conveniently located at the entrance of Siena, a 20 minute walk from the train / bus station and a 10 minute walk into the heart of the historic city centre. The staff was very accommodating when we asked to store our bags because we arrived early from Florence.

We're vegan and accustomed to be disappointed by hotel breakfast options. This time was no exception and we ended up walking down to the bus station early and having breakfast there, where we were able to find vegan-friendly croissants and delicious coffee.
