The staff were fantastic and extremely hospitable, both at reception and at breakfast. The hotel is conveniently located outside Turin Porta Nuova station. Lots of retaurants and shops within walking distance. There are some loud groups and homeless people that hang around 'the columns' to the right side of the hotel entrance. Otherwise it is a pretty safe part of town. The rooms are clean and spacious including bathroom. Hig bathroom but strangely small shower stall. There is also a balcony. The towel heating racks are fantastic. I liked the breakfast buffet too, it was just right and really good price. They let our child eat for free. My first time with a Best Western chain and I am very impressed. I will definitely stay with them again.

My experience at this property was unfortunately disappointing for two major reasons. The first was the distasteful attitude with which I was treated by the swing shift front desk agent. We had an issue in which I had already reserved a room for 4 guests, 1 king bed and 1 queen in the family suite. For some reason my 2 sons were not in the system and while I expressed my concerns to the agent the tone she used was threatening saying I had to pay 60 euros a night per person for these extra two people. While I was clearly dissapointed, I had no problem paying, it was just the way she treated me that relayed a distasteful service. Not only that but the of the 2 beds I had reserved the queen was not an actual bed but a pull out couch. This was not what Expedia promoted only further adding to my disappointment. Lastly the heating in the room was extremely high and despite many requests to lower it for the 3 nights I stayed there, they came to no avail and thus left my family unable to sleep well. The hotels saving grace comes in the amazing service provided to us by Mari the wait staff at the breakfast station. She was always bright and cheery and made sure our days started out in the best way possible. I must also mention that the breakfast was actually extremely well set up and very enjoyable. As a family of hoteliers from Las Vegas we take service extremely seriously and hope that they take these comments into consideration to better the property as a whole.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast was varied with good food. Conveniently located next to Porta Nuova station. Unfortunately the sound insulation between the rooms isn’t very good. I was woken up each morning at 4:45 by the next room having a bath. The area around the hotel is quite unpleasant at night, such that you don’t want to go out. Groups of men hanging around drinking/doing drugs.

Nice hotel situated at the train station
If you're way in and out of Torino is by train, then you can't possibly be situated any closer to the station, which is very convenient. The train station is well situated in town, just at the southern tip of most of the interesting neighborhoods to visit, so you're not compromising location too much by being so close to the station. Hotel is nice, good rooms, good air conditioning. At night, the area just immediately around the hotel isn't the nicest, but it's fine and it takes just a minute to get away from there.

Great hotel!
The service from the front test was exceptional. They helped us make dinner reservations at a great restaurant right around the corner. The hotel is super clean and had a great breakfast. The room was very quiet yet we were walking distance to the train station just across the street.

The hotel is fine, nice large family rooms, great staff, convenient location BUT the area by the train station is dangerous and really disgusting. The mentally unstable, addicted, prostitutes, rough crowd loiter in the covered arcade outside this hotel and one has to “walk a gauntlet” to get to the front door. It is really unpleasant, and dangerous enough that one should no go out late at night from the hotel. Best Western should hire private security or pressure the city to clean up the street.

Liked the kitchenette in our room, it was an unexpected bonus and meant that we could have chilled wine in the evenings! Also liked the mezzanine level as it gave us space from the children on the floor below - some hotels have the children’s beds really close by so there’s no peace!

Front desk. After booking, I called the next day and said I have a guest will now be joining me for my stay and require two beds. I was told there would be no extra cost for the change. Fast forward to check out, they (Fabio) charged me an extra €30 per day for my guest. I asked him to provide me the policy that states it’s an extra €30 per person, even though I was originally told there was no extra cost, and he said there’s no policy but the law. I asked to show me this law and he couldn’t. I had no choice to pay as I’m a tourist and had to make my flight home. Fraud.

Stayed 6 nights on biz trip. Fantastic location, cuz it’s very close to the station. balcony is spacious as a bit bigger than the yoga mat. It’s very rare to have that enough spacious balcony in hotels in Turin, I think. Nice breakfast, friendly staffs. shower booth is small but clean. Relatively high ceiling was so helpful to feel comfortable.

Don’t be put off by the general area in which the hotel is situated because the hotel itself is very nice, modern and clean. The room and bathroom were excellent. It’s easy to walk into the central area of Turin. Breakfast OK but the coffee from the machine was terrible.

Everything was great there. It’s just I had trouble with their Wi-Fi. I needed to connect with a important server and could not. I went to a couple of different hotels and even a fast food place and was able to connect to that server. They did not know why. Very frustrating.

Room and bathroom were clean and bright. Staff were polite and approachable. Across the street from the train station and short walk to the city centre. However the wifi was pretty awful - wouldn’t connect most of the time and you had to re-enter the login information every time you turned your device back on. The AC seems to be turned off during the day in the room (I checked in at noon and I had to manually turn on the fan every few minutes through the thermostat). When I came back in the evening, it was cooler but still quite warm. Couldn’t buy chocolate until the day I left for fear it would melt in my room.

Fantastic room, really big bathroom with jacuzzi tub. All was good. Only reservation, for some at least, is the fact that although location is super convenient being across the Porta Nuova rail station it also means some dodgy characters are there, especially in the evening.

Everything was comfortable except for WiFi. The WiFi in this hotel is not stable and perhaps very weak for uploading files. At the hotel, I could not enter my office's website to report my work. But as far as writing/reading emails, it should be fine. Easy to come from Torino airport with a bus. Good for business trips.
