Hotel Turin Palace - 都灵

This is a nice old fashioned hotel with spacious rooms in a very convenient location next to the railway station.

I would highly recommend this hotel for its location also, all you need within easy walking distance.

I liked the hotel and it is in a very central location (especially if you have come in by train).

The location of the Turin Palace is excellent - the shuttle bus stop for Turin Airport is literally around the corner, so there is no need to try and find taxis etc to get to the hotel.

You can do everything on foot, but a good idea is to buy the Turin Card for EUR15 for 48 hrs which gives free entry to all museums, so it is fantastic value.

Our room was very large and comfortable, as was the bathroom (separate shower and tub areas, 2 sinks), tons of closet space.

I would still recommend staying there but if you have a bad room make sure you insist on changing, as the rooms are extremely variable.

There are no tea and coffee making facilities in the room, but a mini-bar and hair dryer are provided.

However, my room was huge, including the bathroom, and very clean and comfortable.

The mini bar in the room was not fully stocked.

The Restaurant boasted on the Hotel website was not open for Dinner , only for breakfast.

Breakfast produce in the restaurant, one day it was full, the next empty and the scrambled eggs burnt, cold as was the bacon they served.

He was extremely nice, allowed me to practice my bad Italian with him (though his English is excellent), gave me great restaurant recommendations, and even arranged a fantastic truffle-filled lunch at a restaurant in Asti.

Breakfast was included in our package, and this was really excellent.

No complaints whatsoever - the restaurant is quite lovely, and tables are properly set with white linen etc.

The reception areas were beautiful and the maid service was prompt.

What a great hotel, the reception areas were beautiful, the breakfast scrumptious, when ordering drinks in the evening the waiter bought out so many nibbles such as cheese, olives, crisps, nuts, chocolates the works!

The bedrooms were dated with a 70's feel but spacious and exceptionally clean, the maid service was prompt and attention to detial was impeccable.

I found the staff friendly (after initial surliness) and helpful.

The hotel has an imposing entrance lobby; check-in was quick and efficient.
