There are no words for the service and comfort at Athena. The staff at the front desk as well as restaurant and bar went above and beyond to anticipate our every need. The hotel offers the hospitality of a private inn with all the amenities of a four star hotel.
A special shout out to the team at the front desk. Leaving them was like leaving dear friends.
Until we meet again, Siena….

We had a beautiful stay at Hotel Athena. We enjoyed the location and the restaurant. Martina at the front desk was fantastic.We enjoyed her sense of humour and efficiency.She booked a private wine tasting tour in Tuscany for us. I would also like to mention Tomasso who did everything from park our car to mix our drinks. He has a wonderful,friendly personality and is always helpful.

Clean room and a walking distance from duomo and central town and easy parking but extremely bad window position. I wish to have a room with a proper window. Excellent breakfast.

It was nice hotel with wonderful breakfast buffet. I wish I had more time to enjoy.
But when I arrived after 7pm to the train station before checking in, we learned that there would not be a reception and we had to call but no one answered and it took time to find some to help us.
