 Date of Stay: June, 2006
 I stayed two nights in this hotel in May. The staff is unhelpful, unable to do the most basic tasks ie: cash travellers checks, make reservations, call taxis etc. Rooms are woefully in need of updating. In the USA, this hotel would rate two stars only.
 
2. From: Musumeci Rebecca
 Date of Stay: January, 2007
 After a long days travel we were looking forward to a good nights sleep. We were kept awake for most of the night due - 1st. the goings on in the room next door - I must point out they were not loud; the wall must have been very thin. 2nd. the bed was also very poor - I could feel several springs in the mattress coming through. When I checked the mattress I could see it had been made with two bottom sheets to try to compensate for the springs poking through. Breakfast was very average. There was renovation occurring while we were there and we were woken at about 6am by the builders throwing rubbish from the roof. The bathroom was clean and recently refurbished. I went to speak to reception the next morning however there was already another guest complaining. The staff member was very blaze in her response and I got the impression that a lot of people complain. Over all I would not recommend this property. I think it was very over priced for what it offered. We stayed in 3 star properties of a must higher standard than the Athena.
 
3. From: McIver Norman
 Date of Stay: November, 2006
 This was good value for the price of the room- although I usually don't like big hotels. The rooms were clean and spacious, breakfast was superb, the staff were helpful and competent, and the location was good- about a 7-10 minute walk to the Cathedral.
 
4. From: Eaton Paul
 Date of Stay: October, 2006
 Great hotel! Had a room on the 6th floor with a great view of the city wall and country side. The room was the best we have had in Italy. Staff were very helpful with booking a driver to tour the area. Short walk to the the city center!
 
5. From: Soucy Diana
 Date of Stay: October, 2006
 Beautiful, big, modern, clean hotel. Everything was 1st rate, location, staff, rooms etc. It was not, in any way, atmospheric. Siena is medieval, and The Athena seemed too big, too modern, too clean. There was nothing to complain about, but it wasn't memorable either.
 
6. From: McCarthy Daniel
 Date of Stay: October, 2006
 This is a very beautiful hotel in a quiet part of Siena but only 10 minutes walk from Duomo and Campo. Room was very nice, both large and clean. TV had stations in at least 4 languages. Shower was a little small but manageable. People at the front desk were very helpful. Breakfast was very good each morning with a wide variety of cereals, meats, cheeses, breads, drinks, etc. There's also a very nice rooftop terrace with a great view of the valley below. My only complaint was with bar and restaurant service. It was very difficult to get service in either area. They were, I think, understaffed because of large bus groups in private rooms. Whatever the cause, that's the only thing that stood between this hotel and a perfect score.

 We had the most wonderful stay in Siena which included the July 2006 Palio. We stayed at the Athena which not only was very convenient, the staff friendly and helpful but we were staying in the location of the contrade that won.

 The Athena is an excellent hotel. The rooms are very spacious and very clean. The hotel is within the walls of the city but is only a ten minute walk from il Campo the main square. We were there for il Palio for four nights. Breakfast is very good with a good selection to choose from. Dinner was on the rooftop terrace except one night when it was raining when it was in the dining room where breakfast is served. The dining room does not have the same ambience as a restaurant and though the food is excellent there is not as extensive a choice of dishes as would be found in a restaurant. However there are plenty of restaurants and other eating places within easy walking distance in the town centre. I can definitely recommend the hotel Athena.

11. From: Freedman Fred
 Date of Stay: August, 2006
 The hotel is in a good location in Siena, just inside the old city wall, so that the area is quiet, outside the main tourist locations, but still a reasonably easy walk to the heart of the city, no more than a 10-15 minute walk. Make sure to study the map if you are driving in, or be sure to enter the correct city gate, or it may be hard to find. If you come in the right gate, the parking area for the hotel is very close. The staff was adequate and not quite as friendly as some places we stayed, and when we arrived there was no one there to help with the luggage. The breakfast room is very nice. The hotel is modern and clean, well-maintained.

 Fabulous hotel, can't say enough good things about it. The price was great, and the room was very spacious and beautiful with a nice large bathroom. Great view of the Tuscan countryside, and convenient walking distance to center of town. We didn't figure out how to use the window shudders, which would have helped reduce the noice from a group of noisy visitors. We booked 8 hotels thru venere.com and all of them turned out as were advertised.
 
13. From: Calderone John
 Date of Stay: July, 2006
 The hotel was nicely situated along the city walls of Siena, away from the tourist crowds but close enough to walk to all sights within a few minutes. The room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast contained a good assortment of choices from cereal and rolls to yogurt and fresh fruit. The free parking for the car was an added bonus.

15. From: Fraser Nathan
 Date of Stay: July, 2006
 It's in a good location and the front desk staff were mostly excellent, happily providing maps, marking things out, and booking restaurants (their own being closed to residents every night to accommodate large groups that arrived by coach!) However, our room, on the 4th floor, was the noisiest hotel room I've ever stayed in. Noise from the room next door, noise from tables & chairs being scraped across the floor in the restaurant, and noise from reception. Between the late night noise finishing and the early morning noise starting, there weren't many hours left for sleep. Consequently we had to catch up on sleep during the day, and spending less time seeing things. Then there was the case of the mysteriously disappearing bath towel. Which we mentioned to reception, but instead of a replacement bath towel we found 5 extra hand towels in our room. We had to complain more than twice to eventually get another bath towel. There is no late evening bar. Or if there is, they chose not to open it. Getting a drink on the terrace involved raiding the rather limited minibar and being disappointed by the view anyway, which you can't see while seated due to the wall. Finally, the garage is a very tight and oddly shaped space to turn a car around in, so expect to scrape it. If the lighting were better, I may not have scraped mine getting out.
 
16. From: Proft Karen
 Date of Stay: June, 2006
 We had no problems at the Hotel Athena although we (Mom and 21 year old son) were only there for one night. There was a marked difference between the public areas which were beautiful and sparkling clean and the room we stayed in which was not. The room was clean but shabby, dusty light fixtures, stained lamp shades, worn carpet, etc. That was a minor inconvenience as we spend very little time in a hotel room when traveling. The location was within an easy walk of downtown and far enough from downtown to be quiet. The bus stop was right outside the door. The staff were professional and helpful. Breakfast was adequate - neither here nor there, but better than some we had on this trip!! I would definitely stay at the Hotel Athena again.
 
17. From: Petersen Ronald
 Date of Stay: June, 2006
 I was pleasently suprised. I had stayed here several years ago and it was ok. The hotel has updated all thier rooms and the rooms were great. Nothing fancy but very nice. We did have dinner at the hotel one night and would probably recommend eating elsewhere. We weren't impressed with the food. All other aspects of the hotel were great. The front desk, wait & bell staff exceeded my expectations.
 
18. From: Webb Harvey
 Date of Stay: May, 2006
 Slightly disappointed with stay. Expensive, out of the way location, average breakfast.
 
19. From: Horzum Cem
 Date of Stay: May, 2006
 The number of employees seems not to be enough to provide all the services. I can't imagine how they handle in the high season. For the same prices should be better compared to other accomodations in Toscana.
 
20. From: Dorner Diane
 Date of Stay: April, 2006
 Hotel and service was more than accommodating. Staff was very helpful with suggestions for dining and other excursions in and around Siena. Would definitely suggest this hotel to anyone. Best of all hotels we stayed at during our vacation.
