Unlike a regular hotel, it's like a university dorm (yes, many residents go to school at the local Polytechnic). It's pretty much no-frill basic accommodations which is fine as I was on holiday to explore the city, not stay in my room all day. The Barini Metro station is all of a 3-5 minute walk from the property, which made for added convenience. Reception and staff were wonderful! Check-in/out went smoothly; they were helpful & professional offering good, clear information in Italian, as well as English regarding facilities and accommodation. The room and bed were large, clean and comfortable. All the basic amenities were available with clean linen, towels, and soaps. The room didn’t have tea/coffee service, but no problem: in the ground floor cafeteria/restaurant are coffee machines, microwave ovens, and water (still/sparkling) available 24/7 and other options during dining time. And of course, free wi-fi! Also, as an economical meal option, guests can get cafeteria-style lunch & dinner at a modest cost (breakfast is included with the stay). The students that are residents of the property are quiet, respectful and polite (but as in all cafeterias, it can get a bit “chatty” during the meal time). Guests often study in the cafeteria/restaurant between mealtimes. I’m glad I found this place, as it is a few metro stops away from the cultural centre of town, availing people to see the sites of Torino conveniently. Also, within walking distance are cafes/restaurants and a supermarket (Conad). Thanks for a wonderful stay!
