If you’re looking for a charming, not your typical hotel, this is it! From convenient parking, to the staff, the breakfast, the quaint rooms, and overall atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Siena. The old-world charm of this former monastery just added to the experience. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Siena, we highly recommend this place. And Siena itself was the perfect place from which to explore the rest of Tuscany by car.

We arrived with a rental car. The instructions given prior were clear, the hotel staff were very informative and helpful. The room was clean and had a nice view of the countryside. Breakfast was included in the stay and was good. The hotel was situated close to the duomo and the piazza del campo. Overall, we had an excellent stay and would recommend it to others.

The construction is going on around the area. I rather not stay in Siena generally. Lots of headache to get in to ZTL area and hard to get out of it. Google map is not accurate. Review saying breakfast is good but not the best.

We stayed on a recommendation of a family member, and we're so glad we did. Check-in was easy, directions were clear, breakfast was provided, and the place was beautiful! When we left early the next morning, the attendant called us a taxi and had the dining room prepare us a breakfast to go, with pastries, yogurt, and bottled water. Extremely accommodating! Can't wait to return!

The place was quirky with a lovely outside area to sit and enjoy. The staff we great, kind, polite and very helpful. The only downside was that there was a loose tile on our floor which was a trip hazard and there was no heating. We did however enjoy our time at the hotel and would definitely visit again.

The room was clean, bathroom looked like it had some years behind it but was as clean as could be. We were with a stroller so it was a bit exhausting that we were in the second floor with no elevator. The view from our room then made up for that because it was breathtaking (Room 29). Breakfast was very well stocked couldn't complain. All in all a very pleasant stay, would come again.

"Chiostro" has that special charm that an 18th century nun`s cloister can transmit. Unfortunately, the rooms, a bit basic in their furnishings but otherwise good-sized and comfortable, are in need of maintenance. In our case, we would have to turn the aircon off every night, as its noise made it impossible to sleep - luckily, if the room was kept at maximum cool during the whole day, the room would remain cool enough for the night`s sleep. The hand shower would not fit, and could thus not stay fixed, into its socket - hand held showering only! We can not really recommend "Chiostro".
