Grand Hotel Continental Siena

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon trip. The hotel was lovely, positioned in the centre of Siena. It felt very boutique and not quite as luxury as the other hotels we have stayed in on our trip. Nonetheless we did have bathrobes and slippers, a turn down service and a complimentary bottle of prosecco on arrival. The bathrobes were the plushest we've had on our trip. The staff were really friendly and helpful, offering lots of tips for Siena, where to go and what to see. We used their valet parking as you don't have much choice. You can't drive in and park in Siena. It's expensive though. 65 euros per night! We had breakfast at the hotel which was a buffet style unless you want to pay more to order something cooked. A nice selection of breakfast items was available. My only real gripe was that the bed was 2 singles pushed together and I ended up sleeping in the gap so I woke up with a sore back. Also, the room was a little cold and we couldn't change the temperature very easily. Few plug sockets in the room too. Overall, this was a lovely hotel amd the staff were very helpful.

Exceptional location, service, decor and the most amazing breakfast spread. We travel extensively and this will certainly be on our list of the best hotels we have stayed at.

We had a fantastic stay in this classic and beautiful hotel in the center of the old town of Siena, easy access to everything and a great wine cellar

I loved the Grand Hotel Continental which certainly lived up to its name. Stunning public areas and overall just full of character. My bedroom was gorgeous. Super king-size bed was extremely comfortable, excellent pillows. While I did like the stone floors I thought if the room was part-carpeted it would have added extra warmth. Loved the floor to ceiling curtains and the window shutters. It was quite noisy at night up to 1am but then it's bang in the middle of the old town. Housekeeping failed to replace the face flannels on two days. That was careless and should not happen. Breakfast buffet was very good with plenty of options. The fresh fruit salad selection could be so much better. There was only melon and pineapple. Why was there not more choice? There shouldn't be an extra charge for hot dishes from the a la carte. If your room rate is inclusive of buffet breakfast, it should also include any extra items. Even four star hotels don't charge for this. All the staff I met - from Reception, Housekeeping and Restaurant - were unfailingly pleasant and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay in this gem of a hotel again and would highly recommend it to others.

Super impressed with this hotel and staff! We were met outside with umbrellas as it was raining. Super friendly staff. Elena helped me contact a doctor's office our first morning as my husband was ill. They also arranged a taxi to get him to the doctor's office. In addition, my granddaughter and I were able to quickly move to another room. Location was great, rooms clean and beautiful, but mostly it was the professional and courteousness of the staff that stood out. We will highly recommend and will be definitely be back!
