Basilica of Superga

Where do I begin? Besides the fantastic location, the staff is a huge plus for this exclusive property that shares a relationship with Grand Hotel Sitea across the street. The dining at Carmen e Camilo is superb, lunch and dinner… the staff give a cell phone that is your butler on call, and even answers to walking directions or “ call me a taxi” or “ take me back to the hotel”. The history of the Royal Suites building is spooky sexy. There’s a private spa only for suites guests , and room service is included, or you can go across the street to Grand Hotel Sitea for the big breakfast Buffett, and American bar. The walking distance to the greatest shops , museums and theaters is another huge plus! Church bells ring beautifully at 12pm and 5:30 daily. The sense of kindness, respect and even dog friendliness is everywhere! After being in Milan, I. Onpletely fell head over heels for Torino thanks to the amazing experience of The Royal Suites. The high speed train was SO fun, too! You can be in Como in less than 2 hours, Switzerland and France too. I felt completely pampered , and safe. Totally worth every dollar! I will absolutely go back and stay no where else !

Great stay and will recommend!

It's definitely a cosmopolitan hotel; I heard at least 5 different languages spoken among the guests while we were there. Turin itself is beautiful and this hotel is a wonderful place to stay if you like a classic place filled with antiques. Overall, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. But, there were good and some not-so-good things. The good: The common areas are charming. The garden is beautiful and so is the outdoor patio with lots of cozy seating. What really makes this place worth it is the spa and the breakfast. The spa staff was above and beyond helpful. The staff in general were very professional, friendly, and welcoming. They speak multiple languages very well and it was helpful when I could switch from Italian to English as I'm still in the beginner stages of speaking Italian. The not-so-good: The heat was turned all the way up and it was suffocating in our suite. I had to sleep with the balcony doors open and woke up to mosquito bites. In addition, I requested the option to reserve online and pay in person and that request was not honored. It significantly complicated my situation and I was not pleased at all. It would have been nice to find staff during the breakfast hours to request something other than drip coffee and tea. The staff was nowhere to be seen and they did not make themselves visible while we were dining (around 7:40 am). Some things are a bit dated and could use some refurbishing (like the ancient elevator).
