Palazzetto Rosso - Art Hotel

The hotel was very convenient to the sites to see and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and large giving us some much needed space and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was so nice with lots of very fresh choices and very convenient to help start our day

Nice place, makes you feel at home or welcome by friends. Welcome, attention, information... In such a classical building, all original, I would have appreciated classical furniture rather than the modern style... matter of taste. We'll come again.

A very charming hotel, very friendly staff, terrific breakfast and excellent location. I do not have any complaints whatsoever and would definitely return if ever in Siena again. The building itself, on the inside, is also very cool and inviting.

Very good location. There is a neighborhood feel to the place. The breakfast is basic. No kitchen so they don't cook eggs as an option. I don't eat hard boiled eggs that are sitting all morning on the table. If you come at the last hour, they aren't interested in replenishing. It's the "snooze you lose" attitude. The coffee is mediocre when it comes from the machine with coffee pods. And It is awful if you get it from the machine that looks like it's from an American diner/Waffle House (aka Bunn machine). Also, there is no true concierge. I had to brainstorm myself about how to get my suddenly handicapped companion on & off a train for our departure. FYI there is free wheelchair service w/porter at the train station in Florence & it is only 25euros p/p to sit in the Freccia Lounge. At the hotel, there is no staff after 8pm. Lastly, this viewing window in bedroom/bath is dumb (see photo). Is this Las Vegas? As a positive, the housekeeper was very friendly. She was the best! The rooms were very quiet.

Such a great hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly, rooms are well appointed with comfy beds and quality fittings. The breakfast was the best we’ve had of the 7 hotels we’ve stayed at in Tuscany. Great location too, very central. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We booked this hotel after cancelling our other hotel where the nightly rate was 3x more. This property includes wifi, breakfast, 20€ parking discount (via QR code), tiny refrigerator, honour bar in the lobby, coffee, tea, water in the lobby as well (no charge). Breakfast includes yogurts & a variety of toppings, fresh fruits, pastries, toast, cold cuts, small sandwiches, fresh juice, coffees, teas, hard boiled eggs, jams, etc. The room itself is small, but ours had an upstairs area with a desk & small sofa & view of the duomo. Overall good room if you plan on being out more than in. The lighting is dim & room temp can get quite warm. You can open the window, but the street gets quite loud. Lots of outlets to charge your electronics. No proper closets, there are a variety of lockers used for storage (incl a safe). Bathroom includes washcloths along with other towels, shampoo & shower gel (no conditioner), body lotion, vanity kits, etc. Bathroom was quite small & no counter space. Toilet paper holder was in a weird spot. TIP- beware of using the stairs from the common area to the 1st floor rooms. They are extremely uneven and not level. Hotel location is ideal. Study the map because the GPS takes you up and down 2 streets to get to Bianchi Di Sopra, when all we really had to do was turn left out of the hotel & walk straight along Via Dei Rossi to get to Bianchi Di Sopra (no uphill/downhill). TIP- Getting here— if you are driving (arrive during daylight, it’s much easier to navigate-roads are VERY narrow, signs are hard to make out at night & lighting is minimal), it’s easier to park in the town parking lots & carry your bags to the hotel (try to minimize what you need to bring if you can). It’s just over a km walk and you can take the escalators (there are several sets) UP. Walking down from the hotel to parking is much easier than walking up because of the incline & you don’t need to take the escalators back down unless you want to. (There is no hotel parking & you can only park for a few minutes when checking in. The road is very narrow.) The hotel will provide you with a 20€ parking viscount via a QR code when you checkout. Otherwise, parking is approx 35€ per day. The parking is underground with a street level floor where you enter/exit & can park. TIP- don’t park at street level in the lot. The front desk staff are very friendly and intuitive. They HUSTLE!! They work hard to look after everyone. The check in, check out, breakfast and all times in between were excellent experiences. They are pleasant, patient and helpful.
