HOTEL OVERVIEW
Hotel Grand Hotel Continental Siena - Venere.com
lobby
In Piazza Salimbeni, the heart of the ancient Medieval city of Siena and just steps away from Piazza del Campo, the Grand Hotel Continental is a splendid aristocratic mansion that now plays a vital role in the cultural heritage of the famous Tuscan town.

Faithful restoration has not only given the hotel back its original architectural features, but has also brought to light old decorations and magnificent frescoes.

    This hotel is fine to stay in if money is no object. However, there are a number of things that are disappointing about the hotel. First the signature room that they show on all their promotional material is locked and not open to the public. The actual lobby is nowhere near as opulent as the room they use in their photo promotion. Secondly they charge you exobitantly for every little extra. Parking is 45 Euros per day. Internet access is 5 Euros for 15 minutes. Breakfast was included in our room rate and was supposed to finish at 11:00. We arrived at 10:45 and the breakfast had been closed and the staff were only willing to bring us a cappuccino and a bowl of cereal. The breakfast even when it was available did not compare well to other much less expensive hotels we stayed in. Again, if you have money to burn - try it. If not I would suggest the Palazzo Ravizza which is half the price and twice the service.

    THIS HOTEL IS IN A GREAT LOCATION AND VERY FORMAL. WE STAYED 2 NIGHTS AND THE PARLOR OFF THE BAR WAS LIKE OUR VERY OWN SITTING ROOM. GREAT SERVICE. VERY EXPENSIVE BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

    Hotel staff were particularly welcoming, naturally so. Room was comfortable, you could also sit and read a book there, though as always in Italy, on the small side. I would go there again. Public areas are ok for having a coffee and reading the newspaper, but not truly Grand Hotel. The most beautiful reception room, also as photo on website, is not open for hotel guests to relax in, I visited it though. Restaurant/Bar serves ok food, but best bet is to go to a local place around the corner.

    Eccellente hotel situato nel bel mezzo di Siena , a 5 minuti da piazza del campo a piedi. il prezzo non e' propriamente popolare e se avete la macchina parcheggiatela per conto vostro in quanto le tariffe dell'hotel sono anche loro a 5 stelle ...

    Very expensive hotel, however the location demands that. Was disapointed that there was now a charge for parking and that the hotel did not have a handle on the parking options. The bellman was terrific and drove us to an alternative garage, however they would not accept our car...lot was full, desk should have called ahead. Sienna has been a destination for us for 3 years, however if it gets any more expensive we will make other plans.
