Unpleasant experience
I was not at all happy with this “hotel.” The room was very small, the bathroom ridiculously tiny. The soap they gave was the size of a postage stamp. The breakfast was awful. The bed in this tiny room practically took up the entire room and was just a piece of foam that sagged all over. I could not get a decent nights sleep. I have never complained about a place I stayed...but this should not have received more than a 1or 2 star. The receptionist on the first night was very unfriendly and acted like we annoyed her by checking in.

Right in town
This is a nice, historic hotel right in the oldest area of Sovana. It was a little hard to find, with check in at one spot and the hotel in another, but the neighbors were helpful. There is not an elevator and we ended up at the top of 50 steps with a small curved stairwell. There is not help with luggage either so if you have a lot of bags or need assistance, this is not the place for you! The room we had was updated, comfortable and clean with a good AC. Breakfast was your basic buffet with pastry choices, yogurt, cereal, and salami. What I did like was that we were right in the historic area, steps from everything we wanted to see. The little town had a lot of character. It was nice to step out of the hotel and stroll to the wine shop, restaurants and sites.

good hotel just outside of Siena town center
Very good location and supermark chain store closeby. The family room was a bit small but managed to contain 2 adults and 2 children. Free parking was ample. The big plus was WiFi speed was the fastest among all the hotels we stayed (5 hotels). It supported us to have at least 2 person watching netflix movies. The drawback was no free breakfast for us and the cost for breakfast was a bit high(8 euro for each person, even children and you have to reserve it a night before). We didnt like Siena much though compared with the rest of Tuscany (for example, Volterra was much nicer).

Great mid range hotel
This hotel is a few kilometers away from Siena center so a car is handy but there is a bus stop right there also. Very good breakfast, very quiet, fairly spare but we were very satisfied.

nice quiet location on outskirts of town
The hotel was in a nice wooded lot just outside of town. The staff were very helpful, and the parking great... but to get to Siena, you needed to take a car or a bus.. it was too long to walk.

Pleasant small hotel
A welcoming, small hotel, clean and with friendly staff, on the southern edge of Siena. For car users there's easy access from major routes. We used public transport....there's a bus stop outside the hotel with half-hourly buses into Siena (route 3) or a short walk away 6 buses per hour (routes 3 and 54). Tickets are available in the hotel or via machine at the latter bus stop. Route 3 serves both bus and railway stations. The walk back from Siena (downhill!) is pleasant and takes around 30 minutes. There's a pleasant hotel garden and shaded terrace. The only down-side is the proximity of a dual-carriageway with accompanying traffic noise. Having said that, we would return and would recommend both the hotel and Siena. We were there for a week.

The 2 km to city is a difficult walk. Buses are easy, and 1.2€ each way, however they stop running at 9pm. A taxi will cost 10€. There are no food services near the hotel so you must go out or bring stuff with you. Room is comfortable, but bed is very hard. Grounds are nice, nice patio, but no view. Great location if you have a car and are doing day trips to hillside villages.

The staff was very helpful, however this hotel is really on the outskirts from the city. It took us about 40 minutes on bus to get from the main bus station in Siena to the hotel.

Comfortable and unpretentious
I stayed three nights in the Ai Tufi. It is about 2 km from the centre of Siena and if you are fit it is quite feasible to walk, but it is uphill nearly all the way so better to use the bus. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel and it costs only 1 euro (route no 3, which also goes to the railway station). Walking back from Porta Tufi in the evening is very pleasant and gives delightful views of the countryside. The hotel serves a good continental breakfast. There is no lift but the staff were helpful with luggage. The air conditioning worked well although I hardly needed it when I was there. Despite being near a main road the hotel was quiet except in the early morning. The bathroom had a good shower but no bidet; the bed was comfortable. TV with many international channels. Recommended.

Bon une nuit pour un voyageur de passage.
Hôtel isolé loin de tout. Personnel pas sympathique du tout. Le ménage n'était pas fait après l'avant-midi et même fait, les serviettes n'ont pas été changées une seule fois en trois jours. Le pain au petit-déjeûner n'était plus frais depuis longtemps. Par contre, confort moderne.

Buona esperienza, personale gentile e professionale. La struttura è silenziosa e pulita. La camera, non molto grande, è molto accogliente con buoni servizi. La posizione della struttura è buona vista la vicinanza alla statale ma il centro è raggiungibile in 5-10 minuti. Ottimo il parcheggio riservato.

Perfect for who looks just a place to sleep
Located near to the City and the highway it's a real secret hint for everybody who looks just for a place to sleep and wants to save money! The team was very helpfull and friendly and has partnerships with restaurants around itself and in the old city of Siena and provide a nice list to their guests what they could do in and around the city!
