Hotel Cannon d'Oro - Siena

We had 1 and 1/2 days visiting Cathedral, Baptistery, Museo dell Opera, Museo Civico, Palazzo Publico etc or just walking around. That was my last chance to show Duccios works to my wife because we are nearly 80. Cannon d'Oro is a romantic place to stay, clean and quiet but may be not suited to elderly people who do not like climbing staircases. Breakfast was good and professionally served but to find the breakfast room (Collazione) for the first time was a bit of exciting exercise. Siena is a comparatively costly town but that is the price you should pay for being submerged in real and fast unbroken Middle Ages (if you can ignore the flow of turists).

Location and friendly staff are the best things about this hotel. Bathroom/shower is the worst part. The water from shower pours directly to the whole bathroom and we did not find this very hygienic. Internet never worked inside the rooms.

We had a great stay at the Canon D'Oro. The reception man spoke English and was very accomodating since we arrived much earlier than planned. Our room was very spacious and had a drop-dead-gorgeous view of the Tuscan hills. This hotel was everything I hoped it would be. Check-in and check-out were painless and the location of the hotel was fantastic. We arrived by bus and left by bus and it was an easy 5 min walk to/from the SITA and SENA bus stop (Gramsci). I definitely recommend the Canon D'Oro.

this is the 2nd time i stayed at the hotel. this time its was with my parents and they also liked it. its in a good lotion. near the bus stop. nice and relaxing. its in the old part. can walk around please remember that this hotel does not have a lift but other than that staff is friendly and helpful.

It doesn't seems to be a 2 stars Hotel..very clean and in the center of a beautiful city!

Good hotel for the price. Great location in the centre of town. Staff friendly.Great for a one or two night stay.

Lovely hotel. The place IS old but has loads of character. Was comfortable and warm and had a fantastic location. The staff where friendly and helpful. I had a lovely stay!

The hotel on the positive side is very clean and location is very good, even the walking distance to the parking lot is very good. The staff is very friendly. For the price and location you cannot beat it. The hotel is clearly not a luxury accommodation, however it is in desperate need to be remodeled.

We stayed in a large room in the hotel annex, just around the corner and down an alley from where we checked in. The place was beautiful! and so spacious. We loved it and I'd stay there again.

The only advantage of this hotel is its location. Everything else is crap. It totally does not worth the money. The rooms are small, looks odd, are not comfortable and you have no facilities, excepting the internet which was sometimes working. I paid too much (70 Eur, no breakfast) for this hotel and even if it was cheaper, I would never stay in there. It is just a tourist trap.

This is a great hotel, centrally located, with a lovely staff and nice big rooms. Simple furnishings, though, so don't expect high style. Internet is free but works only in the tiny lobby.

Great location in center of town. Helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Hostel style hotel in prime location in the historical centre of Siena. There is no air conditioning, only a ceiling fan, so it was quite hot. This seems to be the standard for Siena though. It was also quite noisy at night, but that's to be expected for such a central location. Breakfast not great, but no worse than the typical Italian hotel breakfast, which is pretty dire.

The man at the reception was friendly, the breakfast was pretty good, and the room was clean. Very close to Il Campo and the bus station.

The rooms are very small, but more than adequate and fair for the price. A very basic hotel, but clean, comfortable, and couldn't be beaten for location.

Great location close to main piazza and shopping as described, but thats all it had going for it. Incredibly noisy with sounds echoing from ally below and could hear people in adjoining room. Breakfast poor. Bathroom - no hooks, shelves etc to place anything, water runs all over bathroom floor. Would not stay there again.

air conditioned is required!!!!

Hotel Cannon d'Oro proved to be an ideal choice for our three day visit. Perfect location from which to explore the whole city with all of the main visitor attraction within easy walking distance. Although sited on one of the main streets leading to il Campo, the property was very quite at night with no hint of disturbance. Bus terminal a couple of minutes away, whilst rail station only 5-10 minute bus trip thus allowing easy travel (bus or train) to Florence, Pisa and beyond. Our days (and particularly the evenings) in Siena won't be forgotten. From peaceful and relaxing, to enlightening and entertaining – not generally something you could experience in most UK cities – the Italians seem to approach life from a totally different perspective that the brits and the location and amenities of Hotel Cannon d'Oro proved to be ideal in allowing us to experience it first hand.

Location is outstanding. Cheap and cheerful but value for the price. Breakfast a pleasant bonus.

Great place to stay in central Siena. Basic but comfortable.

Very personal and helpful staff. Good location in Siena for all activities. Easy to get to from train station.

Excellent value for money. The staff were very helpful and provided good recommendations for places to eat. My only recommendation is that travellers coming by train should catch a bus to the centre and then walk to the hotel from there (just around the corner).

Very good lacation. The heater didn´t function correctly, was so cold in the room. The bathroom is to small. The people in teh reception is really helpfuly.

Our room was spacious because we reserved a triple for two people. Otherwise, the rooms are not spacious, but adequate. The man at the front desk when we got there didn't speak English and wasn't friendly. The location is great. We had a lovely view out our window. No elevator available, so you'll have to carry your luggage upstairs. There was an elevator, but it had a sign warning that it wasn't available, so you might be able to make special arrangements ahead of time (?). Breakfast was the usual uninspired rolls, cereal, and yogurt. All that considered, I would still not mind staying here again, but I would look around at my options first.

I really appreciated the friendly, helpful staff and excellent location. The room was small (as Italian rooms all seem to be unless you are in the five-star bracket) but immaculate, with a small desk on which to put my laptop. The fittings all worked (something you can't take for granted). The staff tried hard to help and answer questions. Value for money was very good.

Perfect location for a short stay (2 days). Easy, if steep walking to all best locations. We kept returning to the Campo. Room light,bright and airy (fan). You expect Siena to be pricey, this was excellent value.

I think the hotel caters to groups and if you are a single traveller you feel really out of place here. It is in a good location as far as being easy to reach from the bus station and all the major sights but the downside of the location is that it is noisy. When groups travel they are sooo noisy when they come and go.Breakfast is just average, not as good as other hotels for the same price.

Stayed in Canon D'Oro for just 1 night. Location was absolutely brilliant as travelling with children who don't like to walk. Very central to all the local sites. Bedroom was spacious for 4 people and was quiet for sleeping at night. Air conditioning kept room really cool, but really loud so unable to keep on during the night. The only other fault I would find is with the shower. The shower is the wet floor type which was a bit messy and akward for 4 people using a bathroom. Breakfast was not great, but could get lovely breakfast and coffee in local coffee shops. Receptionist spoke English which was great. We reserved car space in local garage through hotel and got discount. Garage very near to hotel for walking. Would recommend hotel for short break.

Maps we had indicated that Cannon d'Oro is within walking distance from the train station. It took us 1 1/2 hours to walk there towing our luggage up and down the hills. Please advise people to take a bus!

The hotel was in a good location once you got into the centre of Siena! (a better map would be great!) The hotel itself was clean, but not really quiet, since housekeeping starts at the crack of dawn! Breakfast was average. But for the price and location okay

We rented 3 rooms for a party of 9, two of the rooms had AC, ours did not and was HOT!! If we left the window open it would cool off but tremendous street noise Shower was a curtain hung from the ceiling with floor of BR getting wet whenever someone used it.

It was the more expensive hotel during our trip in Italy (Sienne, Bologna and Florence) but not the best one.

Great value for a quad.

Nice place with nice clean rooms, great location in the old city. Breakfast was pretty lousy but no big deal. Skip the hotel cappuccino and go find a real one - you're in Italy!

Perfect location- could not have been better situated in Siena. Reasonably, even inexpensively priced for the location and the quality of the rooms. My only complaint is that you could hear EVERYTHING your neighbors (above, to either side, down the hall) were up to, be it coughing in the bathroom or watching TV, or chatting in their rooms (not to mention in the hallway).

A large triple, central position, cheap but good

wonderful position, very near piazza del campo, cheap and clean.

Excellent- Great people and a great price. The location is excellent and breakfast was very good.

Room was just like picture, it doesn't offer much but makes up for it by location. Breakfast was very basic.

Hotel Cannon d'Oro is located in the center of Siena, very convenient. clean and quiet, very friendly! for the money I paid, I could not imagine that is for such decent hotel. one thing needs to be improved is the alleviator, which is for luggage only; and the stairs are deep, not for old people and little kids.

Very helpful staff. Location couldn't be better. The restaurant Papei was recommended by one of the staff there and it was excellent!

My wife and I stayed one night, our room was very spacious, the room and ensuite bathroom were spotlessly clean.The shower had plenty of hot water and the supply of linen and towels was excellent. There was no undue noise at night. We thought the breakfast was good just don't expect to get the same breakfast you are used to at home.Location is very good being just a few minutes walk from the bus station and the Campo. Some guests might find the hotel facilities a bit limited but we thought it was excellent value for money and would not hesitate to stay there again.

A fantastic location in the center of Siena. This is only a 2 star hotel but it is well kept and run, and for the price it is a great deal.

Fantastic location in central Siena. Only quibble was with bread rolls like rocks which no one could tackle! When there is a bakery opposite why can't we have fresh bread and croissants. Yoghurt and cereal made up for this.

Very recommendable hotel - spacious and clean rooms, nice view, friendly staff, excellent location.

The room, while plenty large for a single and respectably clean, was more like a cell than anything else. For some reason, I was uncomfortable there and felt like i didn't belong in the room. Could not get the ceiling fan to work. The location is great, however on a Saturday night that also meant it was VERY loud and there was no way to really get any sleep. And then in the morning I was able to hear every maid, guest and staff person yelling their business because I was on the ground floor. Breakfast, served in a very nice room upstairs, was almost all packaged.

Very friendly staff, but the room was a bit simplistic (e.g. only neon lamps) and noisy.

The bathroom wasn't clean, the shower was ugly. The location is in the very center of the city. Breakfast wasn't good.

The hotel is very well situated, right in the middle of everything. The person who greeted us was not particularly welcoming and reluctantly helpful but the other staff were much more welcoming and helpful. Sienna is a really great city. We were offered no help with our suitcases and there were a lot of stairs, so be preared and travel light! We had a triple room #37. One double bed and 1 single. It had a really nice view and it would have been very quiet except that there was a big concert nearby. The breakfast was very basic, cereal, yogurt, very hard rolls, nutella, juice, coffee. It was adequate but not tasty. We only spent one night so it was fine but if I were to stay longer, I might try somewhere else if the price was comparable.

Breakfast was not good and toilet seat was broken.

Simple hotel, with no lift, but the bedroom was spacious, good breakfast, location excellent! Price x quality great!

The location is really perfect for the center of the Siena. The price and quality are also good. If you'll visit Siena, I recommended this hotel.

The hotel is wonderful situated in the middle of the city of Siena, close by the bus station. But the rooms seems a little bit old. They need a renovation. And the breakfast was reduced to the essential. Basically you pay the wonderful situation of the hotel

Location very convenient in the very centre, room spacious, but no drawers or other means to store my belongings.

Hotel idéalement situé à proximité du centre de Sienne - Accueil charmant.

Bon hôtel, agréable, avec un chic fou car dans une demeure d'époque. Manque la climatisation mais la chambres reste fraiche grâce à sa situation (Il y a un aussi un ventilateur). La salle de bain est trop petite et la douche était un peu vétuste. Cependant le rapport qualité-prix est très bon compte tenu de sa situation au coeur de Sienne.

Brilliant! Breakfast was wonderful!

I stayed at Cannon d'oro for two nights immediately following the July palio. The whole experience was truly excellent - the staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel is in a top location - central but tucked in behind the facades of Siena's main street, and the breakfast was a nice bonus. I'll definitely stay there next time I'm in Siena.

The location of the hotel is excellent but that is all. This is a very, very basic hotel. The door knob to the room was broken and did not work properly. The shower only has a curtain and when one showers the water basically floods the bathroom-very, very inconvenient. The towels are extremely thin (clean though). Something that was like a foam was provided and a soap-lucky I had shampoo. Forget about the free internet-IT DOES NOT WORK. I tried it in the room as well as downstairs in the hotel-it does not work anywhere. On the good side, it is very clean, breakfast was dissent, staff was ok and as I said, the location is excellent. The price was too high I thought for what was offered.

The hotel is in the nice place, in the center, everything is near. The room was quite good and clean, however, I had to wait till they clean it. The bathroom is spacious, but there is not a single hook or shelf for toiletries. Very inconvenient. The shower sprinkler is unreachable, fixed very high up with no way to bring it down. Bidet sprinkler was broken. Terrible WiFi. There is no signal in the rooms. There is no public place with a good signal - try standing for 15 minutes in a corridor with laptop. And where there is a good signal, the connection goes up and down. Do not count on their wifi. The breakfast was spoiled by terrible coffee. Hey, in Italy? That's a crime. And brioches were stale.

A great hotel, close to the main Piazza. Noise coming from the street below is fairly loud at night, but not so bad if the windows are closed. The room was spacious and was cleaned each day.

The hotel is situated within the city walls and 5 minutes walk from IL CAMPO. However, its proximity to the heart of the town was problematic for people arriving by car. We could not find the hotel even with our Garmin GPS which kept directing us to enter into streets that were authorized for entry. We were literally going in circle and then decided to call the hotel. The receptionist on staff that night was very patient with us, and it took all of 15-20 minutes of navigation help from him to get us to the hotel. The hotel has no elevator service so be prepared for some heavy lifting if you have big luggages. The breakfast was also very good especially their coffee. Overall, an excellent hotel for the price but make sure to arrive before it gets dark.

Hotel carino in zona centrale, personale gentile e disponibile, purtroppo la camera a piano terra subiva il rumore delle "mandrie" di turisti in spostamento. Ogni tanto l'acqua calda non usciva dai rubinetti, ma per fortuna è estate. Rifarei sicuramente il bagno: il soffitto nero per l'umidità non è un bel vedere

The location was excellent and the service outstanding. The size of the room was quite a surprise! We were thrilled. All the employees working the front desk were very nice and helpful. The woman working when we checked in and out was beyond helpful. She was outstanding. We loved reading the history of the hotel in the brochure we picked up. I think it would be something to advertise as we found it made the stay more special. We were very pleased with this hotel and the location. We would highly recommend it and stay there again.

Très bien situé, les chambres un peu vieillottes sont grandes et propres , les salles de bains bien rénovées. Le petit déjeuner tristounet. Très bien pour une nuit ou deux.

Hotel Cannon d'Oro was a great place to stay. We were there for four nights and loved Sienna. The staff was very friendly especially the night clerk, Brian. The location was perfect. It was very close to the bus stop and was close to the piazza and other attractions. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was a usual European fare and the serving room was very pleasant. We had to leave on the bus before breakfast (5:00 am ) on our last morning and Brian packed a bag with juice and croissants for us. We were very appreciative of the kindness shown and great service provided. We would definitely stay there again. The only drawback ... there was no elevator which might make it difficult for some travelers.

Our room was very nice and clean with a comfortable bed. It was the smallest of the 3 places we stayed while in Italy, but we didn't need much more. I was traveling with my 20 year old daughter and maybe would have appreciated 2 beds, which I am sure we could have asked for, but one double was fine for the one night we stayed. The staff was very competent and helpful and spoke good English. The breakfast was the best we had at the 3 places we stayed in Italy. It was in a room on the 2nd floor of the hotel. There was a large assortment of coffees, juice, milk, cereals and pastries. It was very nice to get a good breakfast to start the day. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The written directions to the hotel were the only real weakness. It is a bit complicated because of the layout of the town and the restricted area of the old city, so really good directions would be very helpful.

Hotel molto conveniente, pulito, e vicinissimo al centro di questa stupenda città!!! Ci ritornerei molto volentieri!!

Magnífico, la habitacion mejor que la de la foto de internet, grandisima, todo super limpio, toallas de tela!!????. Lo único un poco incomodo la ducha por no tener plato, es el mismo suelo del baño, pero todo muy muy bien. Relación calidad precio maravillosa, mejor que hoteles de 4 y 5 estrellas italianos. Repetiriamos encantados. Supercentrico. Sin dudarlo, escoged éste!!!

Excellent location; our room number 10 was very quite. We visited in the off season, March. It is not easy to find unless you are familiar with the location; parked our car at the stadium for free. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again!

not good if you have a car as no parking nearby, i is right in thencentre of the old town which is great, it is quite noisy

I stayed on the top floor towards the back of the hotel. Very quiet and a nice view. Staff very helpful and accomodating. A little tough finding the hotel in the maze of city streets, once I found it, easy to get in and out of the hotel to drop off and pick up bags. Required parking about half a mile away. Great location in the city center for the sights, shopping and dining.

Gret location in the town and a fine building giving superb value. Was there with a group of friends this time but will happily return here with my wife.

The hotel served our needs, and was about what we expected.

+ Gut gelegen + Nettes Personal + Gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis für Siena + Kooperation mit Garage - Frühstück - Erreichbarkeit mit Auto

Cannon d'Oro was a great little hotel right in the centre of Siena. It was only a 5 minute walk from Piazza Gramsci where the main bus station into and out of town is. The hotel is easy to find as there are signs. The staff at the hotel were great and really friendly and helpful. The room was not overly big but not too small and as I was solo this was not a problem. The bathroom was nice and spacious. The only problem I had was that my room was on the ground floor next to the stairs so you could hear every single person running up and down the stairs. I had a great stay in Siena and would stay here again

Wonderfully, centrally located - in the "don't drive area", so give them your car license number, and they'll make sure you don't get a ticket. Parking is a bit of a problem: I ended up a 15-minute walk away, near the fort - but paid nothing for it (follow the signs to the stadium). There's fee parking nearer the property, for about 18EUR/day. The room was fine; I'd booked a single, and got a double. Clean and comfortable. It was on the ground floor, and a bit noisy inside the hotel in the morning. The streets outside exhibited the usual clangs and noises you get in the center of any an Italian city - no big deal. The receptionist when I arrived was an ex-pat Brit, and wonderfully helpful. Other staff were entirely competent and efficient. Breakfast was in a room on toe other end of a rabbit-warren of passages ... and a bit disappointing by comparison to other Italian hotels I stayed at on this trip: so-so coffee, and a limited selection, although perfectly adequate. They looked after my luggage during the day I wandered around the city before bringing the car back to pick it up. Overall: recommended.

Very easy to find in a great location in Sienna. A little noisy because of people walking by at night. we had a room with a window to the alley way. But besides that, it was great! Free wireless access was great!

The hotel and the rooms are o.k.the decoration of the hotel is simple, a little bit cold, and the entrance is dark.

This is a very poor hotel. The rooms are very disappointing and the breakfast appalling. Staff are surly and there is no elevator - we were on the second floor and there was no offer of help with luggage. Fruit juice is from plastic cups, cereal is taken in flat plastic trays, croissants are like cakes etc etc. We would not stay again, and we don't think you should recommend this hotel.

The coffee really is not drinkable! Also all the breakfast foods are very pre packaged. The welcome on the front desk also depends who is on . One very friendly man, another very grumpy! The location of the hotel is its best feature.

We couldn't have asked for more helpful staff during our one night stay. Providing us with a map before we even asked, helped us to organise getting to San Gimignano for the day and even printed out train times to help us back to Pisa. The rooms were lovely and clean as well as being nice and cool when it was so hot outside. Location is fantastic.. right in the centre of Siena... couldn't have asked for anything more for our fleeting visit. Definitely highly recommended and would return in the future. Grazie mille!!

Very good hotel - within walking distance of most restaurants and places of intrest. This however meant it could be quite noisy at night especially so because we visited the week before the palio.

Very, very unpleasant arrival, with employees not only denying to help us with our luggage, but also responding in a bad-humoured way. Rooms are clean and spacious, but it might be paid attention, as they differ markedly among them (light, noise, views). The hotel is weel-located, near de city centre and the bus stop, but I do not recommend it for people carrying heavy luggage or aged, as there is no lift and stairs are steep. Also, the breakfast is poor: indutrial pastries, cold coffee, no fruit nor cereals.

Very good location, little expensive,no air conditionning when outside is 35 degres, as there was a fest this night just down the hotel the room was hot and the night short.

This is a lovely hotel in the heart of Siena. We had a quad (for a family of four) which was pretty and very spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is a little tricky, but it seems so for any hotel in Siena. We would definitely stay in this hotel again.

This hotel was a great bargain. Upon arrival, I felt that this hotel was much nicer than I could afford. The bathroom was very nice and comfortable

very nice place .

Hotel does not have a lift so carying your luggage up upon arrival may be a challenge. Especially if you have been shopping for a few days previously.

The hotel is near the stop for the bus from Florence and also just a few minutes from Il Campo and all the cafes/restaurants that surround it. Our room was disappointing as the bathroom was poor quality with a shower that flooded the bathroom and a toilet cistern that was rather temperamental! The view from our window was straight into the people's accommodation opposite (just a few yards away). It was also quite noisy at night. Siena itself is well worth a visit though.

Stayed two nights in Siena at this hotel and had a very pleasant time. After catching the No 7 bus from under the Art gallery opposite the train station. This hotel is then only a 5 min walk towards the main square from the bus station. It is in the best location within the centre of Siena and for the price it was very good. I had originally booked a single room but ended up with a family room in the roof. The size of the room was large but unfortunately to see out of the window you had to stand on a chair. The breakfast is basic and the use of the lifts seem to be restricted. Apart from this though it has friendly staff and is ideal for a couple of nights stay if you are on a budget

I must admit I was a little concerned about whether we would like the Canon d'oro, as it was the cheapest place we were staying during our holiday and well, we would have to have at lease one dud, wouldn't we? But no, it was spotless inside, the staff were great (especially the chap who spent so much time explaining a Chianti cycling route for my husband) and the ceiling fan over the bed meant the absence of air conditioning was not a problem. In all, very impressed. We didn't have time for breakfast so it is not reviewed here. Siena is a great place and if you can't find breakfast somewhere in town you shouldn't be leaving your back yard! Canon d'Oro is not for the sensitive sleeper. The street noise was amplified by the narrow stone alleyways but as the main noise was from the winning Palio team drumming and chanting their victory song, it was kind of a romantic noise. You could shut the double glazed windows if you wanted but we prefer fresh air and use industrial ear plugs! Really loved Siena and the Canon d'Oro...and we're a couple of old farts.

Great location on the main street....note that if you stay within a week or so after Palio be prepared for the festivities to carry on in the street into the wee hours. We enjoyed it thoroughly given we were hoping to catch some of the flavor of the Palio and the spirit of the contradas. Go Porcupines!

very good. the reception staff are very helpful. very good location and sienna is a lovely town to visit. beautiful countryside and fantastic food. has a supermarket across the square which is very convenient.

Very well situated hotel, nice staff and clean, spacious rooms. But avoid room nº32 (at least in summer): it's very hot and the window faces a private, very noisy house!

We arrived early and were immediately told that we could store our luggage until the room was ready. We returned much later and found luggage was totally safe. I should have asked to use the elevator instead of luggin my heavy luggage up all of the steps - I did this at the end and it was much easier. All staff was helpful. The toilet/sink outside of our room made another accessible area for the 4 of us. We had already stayed in several hotels and were impressed with Cannon d'Oro. I had thought there was air conditioning, and in the hot weather, that would have been nice. The ceiling fan did not do much for the other 2 beds, and due to the street noise, we closed the windows 1 night and really suffered. But, it was good value for money, and the location was great-close to the town center, bus stop, and Wed. morning market.

Best thing about Hotel is position. Bedroom was clean and beds very comfortable. A few small inexpensive changes would make a big difference: 1. Better quailty loo seat, not bendy plastic. 2. A shelf in the bathroom to put toiletries on. 3.China bowls for cereal, not thin disposable container! 4.Clean out the coffee urn - it was stale, stewed and lukewarm. 5. A bit of fruit at breakfast. 6. A smile from the breakfast room staff -they looked as if they hated their job.
