Hotel Moderno

Hotel Moderno was easy to get to from the main train station although the 20 minute walk is mostly along quite busy roads. Our room was small but comfortable and clean and the staff were all very cheerful and friendly. The breakfast was extremely good, with a variety of cold meats, cheeses, cakes, pastries, cereal, yogurt etc. The centre of Siena is just 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel via escalators just across the road. We took a day trip from Siena to the 1,000 year old walled hill town of Monteriggioni (train and 40 minute walk), which I highly recommend.

Unfortunately the restaurant at the hotel was closed when we were there (early November) but it wasn't really a problem as there are plenty of places to eat in Siena. There was also an issue with an extra night being added to our bill by mistake, even though we had pre-booked via Booking.com, but this was eventually sorted out OK.

In general we were satisfied with the hotel. The receptionists are extremely nice and helpful, the location is pretty central - the old town is just right at the door. We appreciated the parking opportunity since it was the only one private parking we had found in the center.

Our room was rather noisy unfortunately since the windows went to a central street. Parking is a bit complicated using garages where parking cars may need to be moved so that other parking cars behind them can leave. For breakfast we missed any vegetables - they did not offer any unfortunately. We had a small issue with the restaurant of the hotel at dinner for waiting long to be able to order but upon raising it the personal was absolutely helpful and addressed it right away, so that was totally alright.

We unexpectedly extended our stay in Siena and booked this hotel last minute. Staff were very kind, breakfast (although starchy as is the norm in Italy) was lovely both out doors and in (one day of rain). Location is literally across the street from the escalators up into the city which was very convenient. Rooms are very clean and bed was comfy.

There is traffic noise if you have street facing room - but the city shuts down early so it was not a problem. We had a problem with the A/C leaking water onto the floor which the staff were very apologetic about but no one came to fix. They did provide extra towels and the A/C still worked so it was ok. The rooms are dated but they are clean and well appointed.

The location gave easy access to the very heart of the city centre through 5 flights of escalators which one simply crossed the road to access. from .the entry to the Hotel. - You were in the City in the space of a few minutes. The breakfast was sumptuous and set in an enchanting garden. The room was a miracle of cleanliness: daily cleaned and linen of pristine freshness. .

Perhaps a fan in the bedroom would have helped on those unusually warm days.

Location was great, can walk here from the train station takes around 20 minutes if you have baggage it is downhill which makes the walk up a little harder but it’s not too steep. Closely located to the old city and you can access it via escalators which is great as you’ll do a lot of walking once inside the old city. Staff were friendly, room was clean and comfortable. We did not eat breakfast due to having other plans so cannot comment on that. Offer to store your luggage if you arrive before check in.

Everything OK - no cons , only pros

Location to the walled city of Siena, was only a 30-second walk to the escalators. Very friendly staff, delicious food for dinner in the restaurant and the included breakfast was diverse and filling.

The hallway to my room was pretty dark and I had to use the flashlight from my phone to unlock the door. As a solo traveler I would have preferred to enter quickly. The price was a little more than I expected as the price for each of the two-night stay was different each night. I also wish there was some type of shuttle service as I waited over an hour for a taxi at the train station at arrival. But on departure the front desk clerk called me a taxi and they came right away.

The best thing was by far the staff! They were extremely helpful and friendly! The location was also very good. I was travelling with family that can not walk much and the escalators for the city center are right in front of the hotel. And because it is not in the middle of the city center it is a really calm place. Will definitely be going back to the city and staying with them.

The only thing missing would be a small fridge on the triple room that we stayed.

Very nice and clean hotel with friendly and welcoming service. Great price/quality ratio. Good breakfast with variety and allergy/special diet options. I don't have any restrictions myself but I noticed that the options were grand. There is also a beautiful garden in the summer! Excellent location next to the old town of Siena. The escalator up to the old town is right next to the hotel with access to all nice restaurants and sights. Parking is 7€ a day and very conveniently on the other side of the street.

You cannot beat this location for proximity to the free escalator up into Siena. Because of this we could enjoy the city into the night, with no concerns about getting back to the hotel (others wait for a bus or pay a lot to park near escalator - if they can find a space). Great breakfast in an elegant room, very pleasant staff (especially since we don't speak Italian, and they gave an excellent dinner reco too), pleasant lobby/lounge, & nice and clean room for the $. Tiny TV with many cable channels (most in Italian). Some reviews said parking was included but we did pay $7 euro for our overnight park. Well worth it though. It's an older property so you need to enjoy that kind of vibe, but room was large with high ceilings and windows, and modern A/C (we didn't need it as it was a cooler day).

The road outside is very busy and could be loud if window was open. Other than that, nothing not to like.
