Hotel Santa Caterina Reviews

Went to Siena, looked at many hotels, was influenced by the reviews, and finally booked a two-day stay. It turned out not to be a particularly good decision. The location is outside a gate in the old city. It takes 20 minutes to walk to Shell Square, and the cars are parked on the side of the road, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk. The triple room we booked has windows facing the road outside. The advantage of this hotel is that the inner windows face the outdoor fields, so we can only run out to the garden to look out at breakfast time, which is not as good as the view from the window of our own room. Moreover, the triple room is very narrow, and the three beds are all on the second floor. It is not comfortable for a family of three to live in a small loft, and there are stairs just two steps after entering the door on the first floor. The air conditioning was not working well. I didn't sleep well on the first night. After breakfast the next day, they left to check and repair it. The advantage is that the breakfast room is quite elegant and the outdoor garden has a pleasant view. The house is an old building, and the front desk is polite and greets with a smile. If you want to spend a long time looking at the cathedral, have a late dinner and want to go back to the hotel to rest, it is recommended to find a hotel nearby in the old town. Btw, Siena is a great place to visit.
