What to say about this beautiful hotel?
My partner and I arrived a couple of hours before check-in time. We were prepared to leave our bags, go to lunch and return (and would have been totally fine with that), but reception had a different idea. I wish I had the name of the person that checked me in so that she could get the credit she deserves for making it a lovely experience. The lady next to the one checking me in noted that it may be possible to change our room for one that was ready. The one checking us in went to check and not only did we get a room that was ready right away, but we were upgraded from a deluxe city view room to a junior suite! I'm really sad that we were only in Turin for one night because this room was lovely. The breakfast was great, too. All of the typical sweet items in an Italian breakfast, but also scrambled and hard-boiled eggs, bacon and chicken sausage as well as cold cuts, yogurts, cereals and an assortment of drinks, coffee and tea. The location is perfect as well. Directly in the center, maybe a 5 minute walk from Porta Nuova (train station) and easy to get to anywhere in the city. My only criticism is the same criticism I have of pretty much every hotel: the pillows. They weren't terrible, but could do with a couple of softer ones.
If you're on the fence about where to stay in Turin, stay here. We've been to Turin three times in the last year so I'm not sure we'll return anytime soon, but when we do, we will definitely stay here.
