La Perla

2 minutes walk to center of Siena

Very clean, small though

Loved the location of the property; very convenient. I only wish there was a refrigerator to keep my drinks cold

La Perla is in a great location. Note there is no elevator and about 30 steps to the floor where the door to the rooms is located. Some rooms, you need to navigate a narrow spiral staircase. Luggage could be an issue… The room was basic but fine, bathroom on the small side and the toilet…if you are tall…sit diagonal on the toilet so your knees don’t smash against the wall. Basically…a cross between a hotel and hostel. Towels were like table clothes…shower leaked from under the curtain… the shower head was not very strong but the hot water was great. It was unusually cool and I did not have super sufficient clothing but I could not heat the room with the radiator and relied on extra blankets to keep me warm. For that matter the wall unit didn’t turn on…at all. The cleaning people were good. The towels were the thinnest of any hotel I have ever stayed at - like a small tablecloth. No face towel only hand and body towels. One of the hand towels I used so I did slip after taking a shower that leaked out of the pan because it didn’t touch the floor. All in all, it is in a great location and sufficient. I only saw one employee twice - once upon check-in and then randomly the next day. Did not see anyone at checkout but left my key on a table with others who had done the same.
