NH Siena

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about NH Siena? The location is actually perfect – and I mean that in the most practical way possible. Right on Piazza la Lizza, you’re literally steps from the historic center but far enough from the tourist chaos around Il Campo that you can actually get some sleep. I’ve stayed in places where the medieval charm comes with paper-thin walls and drunk tourists stumbling past at 2 AM, but this spot hits that sweet balance.

The building itself has this understated elegance that feels very… well, very Siena. It’s not trying too hard to be rustic or overly modern – just clean lines and warm tones that actually complement the city instead of fighting it. The rooms are honestly bigger than I expected (anyone who’s traveled in Italian historic centers knows what I’m talking about), and the beds are legitimately comfortable. The air conditioning works properly too, which – trust me – matters when you’re visiting in July or August. What I really appreciated was the soundproofing; even though you’re right in the city, the street noise doesn’t really penetrate. The staff seems to genuinely know the area, not just the standard tourist script. When I asked about dinner recommendations, they pointed me toward Via del Castoro instead of the obvious spots, and honestly, that made all the difference.

Here’s the thing about staying here – you’re about a five-minute walk to the Duomo, maybe ten to Il Campo if you take your time and stop for coffee (which you should, at Bar Il Palio on the way). But what’s really handy is being so close to the Fortezza Medicea area. Most tourists miss this completely, but it’s where locals actually hang out, especially in the evenings. The hotel’s proximity to Viale Toselli means you can easily walk to some genuinely good restaurants without the tourist markup. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in Siena generally, but the hotel staff actually knows how to navigate the ZTL restrictions and can point you to spots that won’t result in a surprise fine three months later. The breakfast is solid – nothing revolutionary, but proper coffee and fresh pastries, which is really all you need before spending the day wandering those incredible streets. I mean, you’re in Siena; you’re not going to be hanging around the hotel anyway, right? For what it is – a comfortable, well-located base for exploring one of Italy’s most beautiful cities – NH Siena delivers exactly what you’d want without any pretense.
