This is a centrally located hotel in a historic building in Siena. We stayed for one night in March and if I were to return to Siena, I'd look for something more updated. The hotel is in an old convent, and many of the frescoes, etc. remain on the walls. But there was something very musty and unprofessional about the... More

What a wonderful place this is. An old monastery that has been converted to a hotel. The rooms are very comfortable and our view was amazing. We could see the Tuscan countryside for miles! The desk clerks Valeria and Dana could not have been more helpful! They booked day trips for us and helped us get advance tickets to Accademia... More

Although we only stayed in Siena for one night, this place was a wonderful choice. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. The rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast was great and in a well appointed room. Although there was no elevator, our driver called ahead, and the staff was immediately available to assist with our bags.The hotel is... More

We stayed in Il Chiostro Del Carmine in Siena for Valentine's Day during a week long trip to Italy. I can honestly say our room had the best view of the entire trip - absolutely stunning. Big double windows looking out onto the surrounding country side - could even watch the sunset. Siena is a charming town with a much... More

My wife and I recently stayed here for four nights and it is a wonderful place with very pleasant and accommodating staff. Our twin room was of good size and so was the bathroom. Breakfast is plentiful and again the staff does its job with a smile. The views from the breakfast room are splendid. Hotel is a few minutes... More

Our stay at Il Chiostro del Carmine was delightful. After arriving by bus, we walked about 15 minutes through the city centre to Il Chiostro. Upon arrival, Jean-Pierre --whose English is perfect-- informed us that we had been upgraded to deluxe accommodations. He made sure we knew our way around the premises, and that we could find our way around... More

I'll always remember the narrow, winding streets of Siena - one of my favorite stops in Italy. Hotel Il Chiostro del Carmine is ideally tucked among the streets, a short walk to the center of town. It is moderately priced and so much of the original charm has been preserved, making it a memorable place to stay. The rooms are... More

A beautiful building where we had a lovely spacious room - the people on reception were very helpful and we can highly recommend this hotel. Just on the outskirts of the city centre but that only means a 10-15 minute walk to the Duomo etc.

We found our stay here absolutely delightful! All the staff we dealt with were as polite and helpful as can be. I agree with another recent reviewer that service must have improved since some of the bad reviews were made. There was no lift because, well, what do you expect when you stay in a 500+ year old monastery?! Staff... More
