Hotel Roma e Rocca Cavour

For very fair prices, this hotel offers a great central location in Turin next to the train station and the center. The place is very tidy and nicely decorated. While the rooms are quite old, they are functional and clean. We just had an issue with the sink faucet, which started leaking. The staff was able to offer a temporary fix but we would have appreciated a gesture for this inconvenience (a discount), which unfortunately was not offered. Breakfast was good and there were plenty of choices. Keep in mind it’s not possible to smoke on balconies, even if you book a room with one - my friend was not expecting this and the personnel is extremely strict on this. Overall good value for money.

Myself and a friend stayed for three nights in December.

The railway station also contains several upmarket shops along with a McDonalds, Starbucks and Five Guys. Porta Nuova underground Metro is down steps in front of the hotel. There are bus stops in front of Porta Nuova - we took buses from here to get to/from Basilica di Superga (change to tram or a second bus at Sassi-Superga).|-In Turin we visited Mole Antonelliana (Turin’s most famous landmark, book ahead), Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum), Piazza Castello (the heart of the city), Turin Cathedral (Shroud of Turin not on display), Basilica di Superga (church on a hill above Turin), Po River and Valentino Park (riverside park). |-Turin Tourist Information Center across the road from hotel on Piazza Carlo Felice.|-We ate lunch at cafes near the hotel: Roma già Talmone (expensive, tourist trap), Panfé, and Street Coffee. |-We ate evening meals at Melomangio (twice).

I must say I was surprised it was 3 stars. We stayed in a 4 star in Milan the days previous and that felt more 3 star than here! Rooms were clean, comfortable bed, breakfast was nice and the location was great.

great WiFi, worth the money, with very close proximity to Torino central train station. Rooms and shower are clean.spacious, clean, neat, and comfortable,with big windows. I will not hesitate to book here again for my short stay in Torino.Highly recommend it!!

Arrived from the airport at the main train station and dandered 75 meters across the road to the entrance of the hotel Roma, we were warmly greeted by a lady and gentleman who checked us in and literally one minute later we had our room keys and were on our way to our room (room285). The corridor to our room had a clear line across the floor where carpet ended and a hard floor surface began, it was obvious renovations were in progress.|Our room had that recently renovated/decorated look and smell about it and was an absolute delight, I opened the floor to ceiling double doors and was greeted by a large room length balcony whice give me a great view of the hustle and bustle going on in Turins city centre.|After unpacking we headed back down to the reception area and had a quick look around this beautiful building before heading out and starting our Turin adventure. We were back in the hotel around 11-30pm and sat down in the reception area and were asked if we'd like a nightcap from the bar, to which we replied yes. Can I just say the hotel bar prices were very competitive with the city bars and restaurants.|We had a great nights sleep in our cosy air conditioned room and awoke next morning and headed down to the first floor for breakfast and were delighted once again by the variety and selection of fresh and cooked food on offer. We stayed four nights and each day/night was a faultless experience and can't speak highly enough regarding all the staff members we encountered.|This was our first visit to Turin and we will be back and would not even consider staying anywhere other than the ROMA hotel.|Try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

We stayed there for 3 nights. |I booked a parking place, and I was told via mail that there was a parking place just at the entrance, so we could easily take our luggage. Afterwards we could leave the car there and someone from the reception desk, put the car in a covered garage (inside the hotel). What a service. |The reception was very friendly and professional. The room was very spatious and very clean with a (renovated ?) bath room with a fantastic rain shower. |The breakfast was more than OK. (eggs, cold cuts,sorts of bread, cake, juices etc....) |The situation of the hotel is fantastic. You get out, go left and after 100 meters you are in the main shopping street (via Roma), which leads to the Palazzo Reale. |So were very satisfied with the hotel. The only point is that early in the morning the tramway passes on the side of the hotel and makes a terrible noise..... |All by all, next time I am in Torino, I would book the same hotel

My first stay ever in an Italian hotel so I may not be the best qualified but here goes. Follow me here for more reviews as I travel this month in Italy. Overall a pretty good place to stay. Great buffet breakfast, lovely lobby, great service all around. Smallish room, but then this is Italy. Very near the train station, within walking distance of high end shopping, museums, and restaurants. Book a room that faces away from the main street or expect to be awoken by some interesting street noise. Reasonably priced.

The hotel is very clean, with an excellent location. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The rooms are spacious. Our room was overlooking the square (Piazza Carlo Felice), which is busy all day being so close to the Porta Nuova station. Check-in and check-out were fast, service is efficient, and breakfast is good.||There were a few things we found that could be improved upon though:|* The room was very noisy all through the night|* The air conditioner is quite noisy - even on the lowest fan setting (actually helped to reduce the noise coming from the outside though!). It does keep the room cool however.|* There is no kettle in the room, and we had to ask for one - which we understand. However, on checking-out we were told that this carried a EUR 10 charge. We didn't mind the fee, but we could have been told beforehand that it was not free. After all, we have been in many hotels and we always found (at least) a kettle in the room. We didn’t even use the teabags provided with the kettle, we used our own… It looked like a cheap plastic travel kettle.|* The bathroom needs at least one other towel hanger for a hand towel. The soap dispenser was located directly over a power outlet and a couple of feet away from the sink. Also, no bin liners were provided, which is quite unsanitary. The toilet is quite uncomfortable, being so high off the ground (and I’m not that short at 181cm).|* The television antenna cord was disconnected when we first got into the room, small thing that was easily fixed, but this could have been checked before new guests enter the room (the cable was literally dangling).|* The chairs provided in the room are nice, but need maintenance. The joints need to be re-glued as all the pieces were coming loose whenever you just sat on the chairs. |* No safe in the room|* The napkins provided during breakfast are the type you get when buying ice cream in a gelateria, small, and don’t really do the job. ||Overall a good hotel, and I wouldn’t mind staying there again, but with a little more attention to detail it could have been a much better experience.
