Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tabor, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Room 101 and 102 on the second floor: These rooms are located at the back of the hotel, away from the main street, and have a quieter view of the Piazza del Mercato. They are also closer to the hotel's rear entrance, making it easier to access your room without disturbing other guests. Room 201 and 202 on the second floor: These rooms have a lovely view of the city's medieval rooftops and are situated near the hotel's staircase, making them a convenient option for those with mobility issues.
Rooms to avoid
Room 301 and 302 on the third floor: These rooms are located near the elevator shaft and can be noisy due to the constant hum of the elevator and the footsteps of guests. Room 401 and 402 on the fourth floor: These rooms are at the front of the hotel, overlooking the busy Via del Porrione. They can be quite loud, especially during market days when the street is filled with vendors and tourists.

Insider tips
If you're a light sleeper, consider requesting a room on the second floor. Also, keep in mind that the hotel's rear entrance is not wheelchair accessible, so if you have mobility issues, it's best to request a room near the front entrance.
- 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.
