"lf luck is on your side, you may get one of the rooms with a balcony overlooking the Duomo. You can always retire to the lovely reading room or the little chapel (access on the second floor)."

Rough Guide
"Originally a pilgrim hostel, this fourteenth-century building, reached via a stairway down from close to San Domenico church, offers great-value and remarkably peaceful accommodation."

"With a great perk, city-view balconies in many rooms. Breakfast is included, but it’s a bit monastic and you may want to walk up the hill and enjoy a cappuccino in the Campo." Full review

Frommer's
"Individually designed rooms and suites—some with terraces—overlook the baptistery or across rooftops to San Domenico. As sophisticated as the surroundings are, the hospitality is warm." Full review
Frommer's
"Only a brief stroll from the Campo, this character-filled small palazzo, once home to a pope, adds quiet sophistication to Siena’s medieval charm, blending old tile work and rough-hewn beams with contemporary furnishings and modern art" Full review
