Hotel La Colonna - Siena

The staff were super kind and really helpful, especially angela at the front desk who helped us when we had car trouble. The room was very clean and comfy and we had a lovely garden view. The pool area was nice to chill at after a long day. Breakfast was simple but good enough to start the day right. It's a good spot for a short stay and great value for money.

the noise from the main road was a bit annoying at night and the air conditioning wasn't great, so it got kinda hot in the room.

My friend and I were traveling through Italy touring the old cities. We selected the hotel both because of the price and the photos. It was the first time that the hotel pool photo was accurate showing a delightful rest stop if able to use. Great staff. Close to the city. J

Overall it was well-appointed and spotless with garden view.

The room was comfy, but the traffic noise made it tough to sleep.

The reception staff were excellent and also spoke very good English which was useful. There is a lovely swimming pool with sitting area and our room was very nice and clean with good facilities. It also overlooked the pool, patio area and, further back, the secure car park. The hotel is about one kilometre up a hill from the old city but on the side of the city escalator so once through the city wall it's easy to get up to the main centre itself. The hotel is in the main road into the town so you might go past it as we did first time but it is well situated for easy in/out of the city - that's if the pool doesn't encourage you to stay and relax instead. Good value for money in our opinion and would definitely stay there again if we return to the lovely city.

It would be nice to be able to make a cup if coffee in the room but as with many European hotels, there is no kettle to do so. Minor gripe really!

We stayed for the price. Traveling in early November we paid 49Euro for two, parking included. The room was nice size, very plain, and clean. I asked for a poolside room so noise from street was not a problem. The walls are very, very thin (you can hear cell phones ringing) but fortunately the other guests were quite polite. The hotel is about a mile from the Siena escalators. The breakfast buffet included rolls, lunch style meat, cheese, yogurt, cereal, juice, and a coffee machine. (I did not like the cappuccino from the machine). The lady servicing the buffet did an excellent job and was quite nice. Pool is seasonal.

I was expecting to be closer to Siena. The hotel is on a busy road with bus service that runs every 20 minutes, but only until 8:30pm. We ended up driving to a public parking lot at the base of the escalator for 1.70Euro/hr.

Comfortable Stay with Helpful Staff

Despite a rough start, the staff's compassion was nice. Enjoyed the garden view while dining nearby. Pro tip, explore Da Michelle for a good meal and check out the pool for relaxation. Be ready for some hills on your walk into the city!

The staff were helpful and friendly.The hotel was well situated with a local bus stop right at the door for accessing the sights of old town Siena. Rooms clean and spacious. Breakfast was a generous and multi choice meal.

It had a swimming pool that came very handy at the end of June. Free parking is a great thing when having a rented car to tour Tuscany. A good restaurant near-by. Laundromat and grocery close when having a car. Siena center is a 15 min walk from the hotel. Very close to the highway. Provides for fast travel to major tourist attractions in Tuscany.

The pool area provided a perfect spot to relax, especially in the warm weather. Our room was spacious with a large bathroom and a big shower. The staff were very helpful, giving us excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining options. The noise from the street was quite disruptive at night was nice. Although the hotel is advertised as a 20-25 minute walk to the city center, there are steep hills to navigate, which can be a challenge in the heat. I appreciated the cleanliness of the premises. Everything felt well-maintained. The breakfast options were decent, though they could use more variety. Free parking nearby was a bonus, especially since the streets can get busy.

Good location for visitin historical Siena. It has a very nice pool and patio area that was great for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The front desk staff was very freindly. Breakfast was adequate. Great value!

The road noise if you have a room in the front. Although a few glasses of vino before bedtime, seem to solve that issue.

A very good hotel which would suit motoring travellers very well. It is also right next door to the bus stop, meaning very good access to the old and new Siena. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good and the little township is walkable - to food and mini-mart which has an excellent deli. To purchase bus tickets, go to the little shop next to the mini-mart (news-agency) and ask for bus tickets which cost 1.10 euro each. You just put the ticket into the machine when you hop on the bus ant the machine stamps the ticket. Take bus 54 to the old city as it is quiet a climb to walk. To go to the new town and the train station use number 3 bus. When travelling on the bus from the train station, the hotel comes into view near a roundabout and hop out at that stop and cross the road to the hotel.

The bathroom in room 301 is a bit of a squeeze, need to dry of in the shower or the bedroom!

The pool area was a hit with the kids, and we enjoyed a lovely dinner at a nearby trattoria. Angela was cute, we settled in comfortably despite our hectic arrival.

My children wished for more outdoor activities for their age group.

The hotel staff is extremely helpful and polite providing us with all the neccesary information. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel with easy access to the city of Siena (10 minutes). There is a spacious parking free of charge for hotel customers. Breakfast was ok. Free internet wifi access.

Appreciated how perfect the property was and its outstandingly accommodating staff at all times. The location was excellent and unbeatable, around 10-15 minutes walk from Cripta Archaeological Museum. Plus it was in a pretty quiet area.
