A wonderful balcony with a beautiful view to the top of the city was located just around the corner from our pretty basic room, and we enjoyed the view a couple of times. One evening it was pouring rain, and an awning had been rolled out to cover the patio, which made it very cozy. Location was part way up the hill, and we were able to take a bus and wind our way through the narrow streets to the location. Kitchen area had hot water and tea.

Not something we didn't like about the Albergo Bernini, but a fact of life--Although we hadn't thought about it prior to staying here, one of the "hazards" that accompanies travel is the chance of bedbugs arriving with other guest's luggage. A note reminded us not to put our suitcases on the beds to prevent the spread.

The hotel is in the centre of Sienna with stunning views of the cathedral and the ancient houses surrounding it. We were fortunate to have the best room and view in the hotel, and as we were staying for a week, that was a pleasure Although a couple, we had the option of individual double beds, so both had a good nights sleep every night. Storage was limited, but we were able to put our stuff on a spare bed. We had to share a bathroom, and at first we assumed this would be the worst aspect of our stay, but each bathroom is clearly marked as to which rooms can use it, and we only had to share with one other room, and there were no issues. The shower was powerful and hot. The proprietor, Eugenie, was so kind and helpful, especially as we had hired a car and needed lots of advice re parking. She was always nearby in an upstairs flat, so we had the benefit of both privacy, and her availability. There is an outside terrace to sit on, with stunning views, but as the weather was cold, we did not use it much.

The tables and chairs in our room need tightening up and were a bit wobbly. We could eat in the hotel, but had to do our washing up in our room, after eating, and that is not ideal: they really need a washing up sink for guests. The plates provided in the room for eating are side plates, so much too small. For the elderly (us) there are 12 steps or so up to the hotel itself, and with heavy luggage that was an ordeal. (We always mean to pack lightly, but somehow everything adds up).

Let me tell you something. If I had only stayed in this hotel in the heart of Siena for the three days we were there I would have enjoyed sienna so much because this hotel is right in the heart of it. It has more beautiful decks and open spaces to relax and hang out and play the board games or read the books that they have available. They have free coffee and tea and everything is so well appointed, this space is not to be missed. You will not be disappointed. Again if I had just stayed in the hotel for three days, I would’ve had the time of my life, it is impossible to explain. we did the shared bathroom option which worked out just fine and there were never anybody else in there so a number of the rooms also have their own private bathroom.

There’s nothing to say here other than I would say that we only got one set of keys and after a day of me and my daughter being out and about, I realized I should just ask for a second set of keys so that we could each come and go as we pleased, and they gladly obliged. I would just simply have your own bathroom if that’s something that is of interest.

We had a wonderful stay at Albergo Bernini! The view from my room was breathtaking, offering a beautiful Siena. Waking up to such a view each morning was truly wonderful. The room also had a charming old Italian feel, the outside balcony was the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The balcony added a special touch to the stay and one of the best views of Siena. The location of Albergo Bernini couldn't be better. Situated right in the heart of the city, it was within walking distance to all the major attractions, restaurants, and shops. This made exploring the city incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to help with any requests or provide recommendations for local spots. The overall ambience of the hotel was warm and quite, making me feel right at home.

The Bed could do with improvement, not the most comfortable,

Great little find. Eugenia was really friendly, really helpful and very accommodating. Room was small and perfectly adequate. Beautiful views from the bedroom and bathroom windows. Lovely terrace. Quiet guests. Good wifi. Ideal location. Usual check out at 10 (or 10.30, can't remember which), but our pick up wasn't until 6pm. It was a very hot and busy Saturday in Siena and even though we'd checked out, Eugenia kindly let us return and use the facilities, including refreshing ourselves with water, and just relax in the common areas until our taxi arrived. I'm not sure what we would have done without this! Photos are bedroom and bathroom views. Oh, and the sound of the church bells was delightful.

Nothing. I always do a LOT of research when looking for accommodation and probably spent the best part of a day looking at places to stay in Siena. I was more than happy with this choice.

The view from the terrace where we ate breakfast was amazing.

Orientation could provide more information. I asked staff if we could unload luggage at the hotel. The answer was a simple no. What would have been more helpful would have been an indication of a nearby place where we could unload. We discovered it the next day, after we had dragged luggage through most of the town. The hotel offers no breakfast and the front desk is unstaffed after arrival though staff live upstairs. On arrival, it would have been helpful if staff had located 1-2 nearby spots to buy breakfast food on the map provided.

The location of the hotel is great, and the view from the window even better! We loved Eugenia, who took care of our check in and check out, as well as booking a taxi. She was very helpful with our luggage and changing the room, her approach is customer centric and we very much appreciated her hospitality. The hotel has a shared terrace which is amazing, great spot if you want to have a snack with a nice view. We also had access to a shared fridge which was very useful to cool down our soda. The room we got was very spacious with the best view in town - I’m not kidding! We shared bathroom with another room but it was just next to ours, we actually had a sink in the room which was helpful.

Nothing really, what could have been better in our room is fans, but they worked better in another room we stayed in. It really depends on the sun exposure of the room and the month you come in. We came in August and it was around 35 degrees during the day.

Wow! What an amazing find in Siena. Albergo Bernini is a family-run spot with loads of charm. The staff is super friendly and ready to help with anything you need. Our room was clean and comfy. The check-in was super early possible and was super quick. The best part of the property? The panoramic terrace! The view over Siena is out of this world—the perfect spot for a morning coffee or wine in the evening. There are many places to eat and drink nearby, so I got to sample many local dishes and wines. The location is amazing. You're just a short stroll from the Sanctuary of Santa Caterina and Piazza del Campo Square, plus there's a bus stop to the train station close by. In short, Albergo Bernini is a gem in the heart of Siena. I can't recommend it enough. If you're visiting Siena, you gotta check it out!

nothing

The location was great, only a 10 minutes walk from the free parking and also near the center. The view from the common use terrace is stunning. We ate our dinner and breakfast there and it was so nice. We found a great restaurant only 4 minutes away: Pizzeria Alle Scalette

If I had to rate only the room I would give 1/10. If it was simple that’s OK but it was not clean at all. Nor the bathroom. The good location also means there are several restaurants nearby so it was loud at night. Closing the windows did not help at all. Early in the morning also noisy. You cannot relax here it is good to know.

the room was comfortable, clean and the staff was very responsive and nice !

we shared a bathroom with another room which was bigger than ours so we had to wait a lot to go to the bathroom
