They did not disclose that there is no lift. It was a 55 step climb to our room- and we are elderly. We had requested the deluxe room - 8 months in advance- and assumed we would be given a good room. Besides being on the top floor we did not have a balcony and the window was small and difficult to open. The room was set up sleep 3 people -it was a family room not a deluxe room. it definitely was not the deluxe pictured. When I asked for a different room- cleaner and more as pictured- I was told they did not have any available. All the deluxe rooms were scheduled for use. I found it strange that even though I booked months ago, the better rooms were being handed out to recent requests. Was this because I booked through a third party? The furnishings in the room I was given were a jumble of old, damaged castoff furniture- not antiques Nothing seemed to have been considered in decorating. It was just provide a bed and bathroom. . The floor was cracked, the bathroom had a prefab shower stall that was ringed with mold. The toilet was stuck between the sink - with towel bar- and wall -that didn’t allow you room to maneuver. We have stayed in other converted convents - but those had been refurbished properly. The pictures on line did not reflect what you were given. Such a shame that a historic property is being allowed to disintegrate and sadder still that they are scamming people to stay there. The redeeming factor was the lovely breakfast staff who tried hard to please.

Outstanding in every way. The only issue are the stairs: two long floors carrying heavy luggage are not doable for older people, people with mobility problems or just exhausted tourists. We would atill come back to this charming hotel.

If you’re looking for a charming, not your typical hotel, this is it! From convenient parking, to the staff, the breakfast, the quaint rooms, and overall atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Siena. The old-world charm of this former monastery just added to the experience. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Siena, we highly recommend this place. And Siena itself was the perfect place from which to explore the rest of Tuscany by car.

A place we want to go back to.

The Chiostro was a great find. The people are really helpful and friendly. The breakfast team do a great job and are really keen to go the extra mile. The room has a fantastic fresco (not the only one in the hotel) on the wall and many of the ceilings have artwork. Sitting in the cloisters reading or sipping some wine was so relaxing. Upstairs you find a sort of mini museum in a meeting room that looks like it has not changed in a century or two. If you like history, this is a good place to stay.

The hotel is set in a lovely authentic building with a central outdoor courtyard. Rooms are spacious, a little tired but very clean. There isn’t a bar, there is a well stocked fridge for guests to serve themselves. Breakfast is good with a good choice. Reception staff could be warmer. Overall not an unpleasant stay

Unique hotel within an old monastery. Functional rooms and perfect location within walking distance to various attractions in Siena. However, the customer service is lacking. The parking situation is tricky due to traffic laws and is only explained (not very clearly) over the phone if you call up in advance - it would be a lot easier to have an email with instructions. We also had issues with our air on that wasn’t resolved until late into the evening. The reception staff were friendly and helpful on other occasions!
