Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to L Olmo, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room facing the internal courtyard (if available) or a room on the second or third floor, as these tend to be quieter than those on the first floor, which may receive more street noise from the busy Via del Casato street. If you can, opt for a room on the north side, away from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms 101, 102, and 103, as they're situated near the street entrance and may be noisier due to foot traffic. Also, steer clear of rooms 301 and 302, as they're located near the hotel's staircase and may be disturbed by noise from the corridor.
Best views
If you can get a room on the top floor (3rd floor), you'll have a limited view of the surrounding rooftops and the Torre del Mangia, but it's a small price to pay for the peace and quiet.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are generally quieter, especially those towards the north side of the hotel.
🔊 Noise notes
Siena's narrow streets can be busy, especially during peak season. Earplugs might come in handy if you're a light sleeper. Additionally, the hotel's location near the city center means you'll have easy access to shops, restaurants, and historical sites, but be prepared for some background noise.
Insider tips
Ask the staff about the hotel's 'courtyard rooms,' which can be a pleasant surprise. They often have a more peaceful atmosphere and are worth requesting if available. Don't rely on the hotel's Wi-Fi, as it can be patchy in some areas; consider purchasing a local SIM card or portable Wi-Fi hotspot for better connectivity.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Find train tickets →Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer with Welcome Pickups or a local company like TaxiSiena to avoid surge pricing. Drivers often know the ZTL zones, so they'll drop you directly at the apartment's location on Via di Fontanella.
Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment (Siena Station)
💡 Take the T2 tram from FLR to Florence Santa Maria Novella station, then a direct regional train to Siena (95 min, €9.20). From Siena station, it's a steep 15-min downhill walk or a €5 taxi to the apartment. Avoid the Trenitalia Intercity trains—they're not faster.
Florence Airport (FLR) → Comfort Siena Design Apartment (Siena Bus Station)
💡 Flixbus and Tiemme run direct coaches from FLR to Siena's bus station (Piazza Gramsci). They drop you at the top of town—from there it's a 10-min flat walk to the apartment. Sit on the left for views of the towers on the way in.
Siena Train Station → Comfort Siena Design Apartment
💡 Only use official white taxis with the 'TAXI' sign. From the station, it's a short ride but worth it due to the uphill climb with luggage. Call 0577 49221 for a radio taxi if none are in the queue.

Top Attractions in Siena
💡 Check for free guided tours on Saturday mornings. The reliquary containing her head is eerie but fascinating.
💡 Bring a picnic. It's less busy than the main parks. Paths can be steep — wear flat shoes.
💡 Go at sunset for the best light on the Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia. Early morning it's almost empty.
💡 Entry is €12 but the 'Porta del Cielo' rooftop tour costs extra. Go on a Sunday for free Mass entry — you still see the interior.
💡 Free on the first Sunday of each month. Otherwise €9. The underground 'sacred tunnels' are the highlight, not the modern art wing.
