"Pros:
1. The hotel is in the front of the train station.
2. I’ll recommend this hotel for travelers because staffs were very helpful with many details. (My typical experience of Italian service is they answer your question once but usually dry and dont go out of their way to really solve problems or attend your needs.)
3. Taxi to the hotel: I expected around 50-60 euro but I was pleased it was about 32 euro, 20-25 min drive.
I travel a lot. So I notice this hotel staffs were paying attentions to details and remember guests and my plan. Get taxi, go outside with me, talk to the driver to maje sure the destination, Gentleman at the door opens the door before I turn to the hotel. They seem to go out of their way for an extra step to be helpful. I think staffs seems to be happy. I thought hotel staffs were well trained (given at the level and price of the hotel)
Breakfast was great. I ate three “charcoal black croissant” which is way too much!
Taxi was easy and less sketchy than some years back when I visited Italy.
Torino, I sense that people are calm and nicer. Perhaps it is more industrial city to welcome many business guests is the reason? Or may be my Rome experience was too traumatizing! :-) enjoy!"
