Hotel Le Petit - Turin

The room facing the backyard was quiet. The breakfast is far above the normal italian standard. The location is perfect.

Excellent location for getting about by foot in central Torino

We expected a higher level of cleanliness after reading reviews on various sites, but on the first morning we woke up to find ants everywhere, coming up from behind the minibar. The staff were informed and treated them with spray but they were evident again the following day. The breakfast was of poor quality , especially the coffee which was instant, and if you wanted an espresso or cappuccino you had to pay 1 euro. We went to a lovely café next door but one for a much better experience. But worst of all was the problem with the designated hotel parking. We were shown where to park, in an allocated space on a side street, but went back to the car 2 days later to find a fine (of 39 euros) for parking infringement. The hotel staff admitted they had failed to tell us we needed a 'voucher' in the windscreen and merely shrugged their shoulders and said the fine was not their responsibility. Eventually on our insistence they agreed to pay half, but we still ended up paying 20 euros for a service which was supposed to be free. After this experience, we will certainly be looking for a different hotel for our next visit to Turin.

It met my expectations.

The hotel is well situated and the staff is kind and competent. The rooms and the bed are very spacious.

Came to discover the city of Turin. The rooms are quite small but comfortable. Because of all the marble, sound carries greatly so noise from other guest rooms can be a problem. Rooms on the inner courtyard are preferable to ones on the street side. Contrary to previous comments concerning breakfast, I found that it was okay. I think improvements could be made to include different types of delicious breads found in Turin and a greater variety of fresh fruit.

Very good location, spacious rooms but a cold floor. No bath and shower very small. Breakfast was very poor and tasteless. Ne real fruitjuice and coffee from a machine (and this in Italy) Staff very unpersonal and not really friendly.

The hotel was very nice, in a great location and the staff were really friendly... especially the night man who was very helpful and good fun.

Nice and clean room, no traffic noise. Breakfast room was a bit cold because of the airconditioning. Perfect location to shop in and discover the center of Torino.

Carpeting in bedrooms would be nice and PLEASE a kettle to make coffee and tea would be VERY GOOD!

As I participated in a music event nearby (Teatro Alfiery) all the artist stayed in th esame hotel. It was fun to see everybody in real life situation. Hotel personnel remained very discrete and trated everybody equally as just hotel guests. And of course the restoran , cafe, touristic attractions nearby, you always met somebody related to the event and smiled inside. By the way, i would loved to have a room in the hotel with a viw to the iside garden and with big balcony doors which could be wide open. Maybe next time :)

It was a very pleasant stay in Turin: the hotel was well furnished, the room wasn't too small. Even if the surroundigs were very quiet, noise came from the other rooms in the morning (alarms and hairdriers could be heard from other rooms). Personnel was very kind. Overall, I would suggest everyone coming to this hotel due to its closeness to the city centre, good hospitality and very low prices.

I stayed at the Le Petite in Turin from 29 July to 1 August 2009. This was the nicest hotel I stayed in on my whole trip to Europe (ten days). The rooms were clean, the staff was courteous and helpful.

Hotel comodo, cercano al centro de la ciudad y las principales atracciones turisticas. La atencion es buena y el staff es amble. Es un hotel recomendable

Ottimo hotel, posizione favolosa rispetto al centro. allo stesso prezzo ci hanno dato una camera residence molto grande (con cucina). ottima la colazione

Caera e bagno perfettamente puliti; arredi nuovi; posizione ottimale; cortesia e competenza; colazione inadeguata (x chi è avvezzo alle colazioni a buffet del resto d'Europa....)

Everything good, except for the Breakfast, so dull and poor, served in a sad room.

Not really worth.Tiny room and was very poor no good services every body from reception to room services was intrested in them job and not professional

Very good location; breakfast poor; no garage . Near the hotel, it's possible to park but it's 23 euros a day .

Very nice hotel, located in the very center of town, hence quiet. Cool design of rooms but everything needed is there. Helpful staff. Breakfast is an absolute disappointment, below any standard I've ever met in Italy. Cappuccino in plastic cups from a slotmachine such as formerly used in subway stations. Unbelievable in Italy!!!! I would return to the hotel because of the other qualities and take breakfast outside.

EXCELENT CHOICE FOR ANY TYPE OF TRAVELERS EITHER FAMILIES , MATURE OR YOUNG COUPLES VERY WELL POSITONED , YOU CAN REACH MOST IMPORTANT PLACES BY WALKING WE SHOULD RETURN TO THIS HOTEL

Good hotel, nice people

A lovely hotel, such a rare find in the centre of Turin and so close to many places of interest, including the exceptionally interesting Egyptian Museum. Excellent service and very kind and efficient personnel. Would recommend without reservations and would definitely use again!

Value for moner the hotel was very good. However during the night the noise from somewhere in the building sounded like renovations were going on

We thought this hotel offered great value. The room was newly refurbished & very clean & comfortable. The location was excellent as it was only minutes from the train station and also you could walk to all the main tourist sites. Staff were friendly & helpful. We highly recommend this hotel for value for money, location and great staff.

Very nice hotel, well situated near places of interest, easy to find thanks to illuminated sign, helpful staff, well-equipped comfortable quiet rooms, decent breakfast. I'd certainly recommend it to friends and stay there again myself.

No extra comments

Weel located in the city center. In my opinion the only fault was a not good welcome by the staff. Excellent room.

Hotel very well located in the center of Torino. At 5 minutes by feet from the famous market of Porta Palazzo or the Piazza San Carlo or the main railway station. However, the hotel is very quiet. If you go by car, the only problem will be to find a park, since the hotel does not have one. But if you seek a little around the hotel, you can always find a park along the streets. I recommend this hotel and I would surely return again.

We found that Le Petit is a particularly convenient hotel, situated in the city centre, with very carefully designed rooms and helpful staff. If there was some noise at daytime, this was due to construction works in one of the inner courts that evidently had to be done.

The hotel was nice, somehow they charged some washing, what I only saw later, as the bill was only shortly explained in Italian. Generally the hotel is nice and clean. For our purpose, to visit a conference more in the south of the town, itw as a bit too far north and it took some time with the public transports to get there.

We arrived late because of problems -our holiday plans had to change because of the fire in the euro tunnel and the reception stayed open after it normally would with no negative comment. The lovely adjoining restaurant gave 15% discount. Excellent position

A very good hotel considered the reasonable price. The breakfast was not very good, but there are several restaurant in the neighborhood. Very nice surroundings.

A great place to stay for a few days, 10 mins maximum stroll to the centre of town. Breakfast is the normal bland experience, ok if you want a lot of bread & Jam. Hotel very accommodating, friendly staff, no issues, slighty noisy but did not interupt sleep, you should expect noise in a city. If I go back to Turin I would stay in this hotel again.

Pessima policy di richiedere (o imporre) il pagamento anticipato usando la carta di credito impiegata a garanzia della prenotazione fatta tramite il sito. Come viaggiatore abituale (3/5 pernottamenti per settimana in media) non mi è mai capitato che mi richiedessero (di fatto me lo hanno praticamente imposto) il pagamento anticipato nonostante avessero già come garanzia il numero di carta di credito e che avessi comunicato in largo anticipo l'orario di arrivo. Non ho apprezzato questa policy in modo particolare. Del resto soddisfa le aspettative proposte dal sito.

N'ayant pas le choix de la langue, je m'abstiens de tout commentaire en mauvais anglais.

While Hotel Le Petit certainly was centrally located, clean and affordable, I was highly disappointed with the front desk. When family and friends tried to reach me by phone, they simply said "they did not speak English" and hung up the phone several times in a row. I found the front desk not responsive to my questions in English either. This very much took away from what could have been a remarkable experience.

Overall it was a nice hotel, I had a single room which was adequate, but on the small side. Every day except the last day the person at the front desk spoke English but the man the last day refused to even try to communicate with me until I spoke to him in Italian. Excellent location for walking around the city, very close to many shops and restaurants.

Very good location for historic Turin. The rooms were rather spartan but adequate. Hotel was much bigger than I imagined and had a rather dreary, institutional feel about it. The breakfast in the basement was a dismal affair..everything including coffee came out of a machine. The juice, yoghurts etc were of the cheapest variety and very synthetic. Not the best way to start the day! I can't say I would recommend the hotel but it was adequate for our needs.

Check-out at latest 10 am. If I noticed that before I booked I would have choosed another hotel. Poor breakfast.

Very Enjoyable 3 night stay in Feb 2008 at this friendly boutique style Hotel. Suitable for all types of travellers, great location for sightseeing Central Historic Centre of Torino. If they improved their breakfast menu a little, this would easily be a 4 star Hotel.

Le Petit is located on a pedestrian only street. They said that they had parking available via email and when we turned up said it was full. My husband then spent 1 hour trying to find some secure parking which was in a huge parking space beneath the city centre. Otherwise great location in a great city. Turin is not used to many tourists so not many speak english. Breakfast was a bit pour. Otherwise clean hotel.

Pleasant helpful staff. Restaurant staff also very helpful when I was under the weather. Room was nice and warm.

Stayed for two nights in early November 2007 in a single room. Found the room spacious and well equipped. Breakfast provided plenty of choice and the quality of the food was very good. Hotel location excellent for the main tourist sites. Would certainly use this hotel again and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Turin is a beautiful city with much to offer the visitor. Le Petit Hotel is well located near the centre of town, so walking to restaurants, bars, museums and historic buildings is easy. Taverna della Rose and Soto la Molle (bookings essential) are very different dining experiences, but both are highly recommended. The Egyptian Museum has the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities outside Cairo and is very well presented. Turin is also close to Asti and Alba - beautiful countryside producing fine wines and truffles.

The personal from the reception, are very helpfull... Thank you!

Overall very good and the attached restaurant very good, reasonable and veggie-friendly. Only criticism: the coffee at breakfast was awful - surely a crime in Italy?!

I was traveling with my sister, Helen Coletti;we share this computer. We were so pleased with LePetit that we called and rebooked with them when our plans changed.

Not quite satisfied, this because there is a lot of car traffic in the surrounding area that avoid a quiet staying

Hotel Le Petit is preferable because it has clean and well-maintained rooms, it is close to focus points of the city such as Piazzas, Garibaldi street etc. To get to the hotel you need twety minutes walking time from any of the stations. The same is valid for Malpensa bus station. However remember that there is a taxi stop quite close to the hotel. There is a restaurant of the hotel which gives discount to customers; however it is so pricy that I did not prefer to go there. Just few steps to the Piazza Solferino there is Brek restaurant which is my favourite.

Room was ok, but breakfast was uninspired with lousy instant coffee

NOn si poteva nemmeno aprire la porta del bagno cn una normale valigia in camera tanto era piccola la stanza, e cmq per nn mettere la valigia in bagno bisognava fare i salti mortali per poi muoversi...

English: Very nice hotel at a great value for money (we paid 80E for a double). Great position in city center Turin, rooms with windows on internal courtyard, very silent, definitely to be recommended. Bad point: breakfast is poor (but there are great cafes nearby). Italiano: Ottimo hotel 3 stelle, pulito, stanza ampia e silenziosa con affaccio su corte interna, centralissimo, decisamente valido. Colazione deludente.

Everyone was wonderful from the hotel to the restaurant next door. Especially Paula at the front desk.

Ci hanno dato una stanza molto silenziosa, non fumatori e confortevole come avevamo richiesto. L'hotel è situato abbastanza vicino a Piazza Castello e a tutto il centro, molto vicino alle fermate dei mezzi pubblici, non molto lontano dalla stazione, interessante per chi come noi viaggia in treno e ama visitare a piedi le città. La colazione poteva essere migliore

I stayed at this hotel for a long weekend vacation in August 2007 . I had a single room at the front of the property . The room was spacious , clean & well appointed. Room was a little noisy from street traffic & the hotel restaurant but that is to be expected in a city center location . Location was excellent for viewing the city & for shopping. The staff were friendly , charming and very helpful . I enjoyed my stay & think the hotel is good value for money.

Excellent hotel and location

We were very pleased with Le Petit Hotel. This was our first experience with booking hotels online and it was a great one. The hotel was all it was advertised to be and the staff was very helpful during our stay. In particular, Antonio and Claudio were very patient and provided wonderful advice for such things as places to eat and general directions to everywhere (with maps!).

Great location, good value, good breakfast, friendly staff

Excellent hotel right in centre of Turin. All places of interest within walking distance. Staff very helpful and friendly. Rooms very comfortable.

Used the hotel for a business trip and stayed for four nights in a single room. The room was OK and there was enough hot water in the shower (not always the case in Italy unfortunately). The only negative was noise from the street below and poor sound isolation in the windows.

The employees did spend their time to try to find me a parking place for my car. They didn't get, but I really appreciated their effort.

Just one negative aspect: breakfast was not so good. Coffee was particularly bad and also they could have offered fresh bread and croissants.

Lovely hotel,helpfull staff,restaurant very nice,location perfect.even got a car park space for the 3 days !!!

Hotel posizionato in zona veramente strategica e comoda per raggiungere tutti i luoghi più interessanti del centro di Torino. Accogliente, pulito e con un ottimo prezzo. Un unico appunto va mosso alla colazione non propriamente eccezionale.

La nostra camera era molto piccola e con il soffitto basso, quindi anche molto calda, la sala per le colazioni piccola (tando da fare coda per sedersi !), la qualità della colazione sicuramente da migliorare. Personale gentile e preparato e posizione comodissima per visitare il centro. Scomodo solo per il parcheggio (noi abbiamo parceggiato in via Solferino). Consiglierei di indicare chiaramente sul sito le diverse tipologie di camere e i relativi prezzi.

This was the first time in Turin for me, what a wonderful elegant city. The hotel, in the middle of a good neighbourhood in the centre, was excellent vs price quality. I will recommend this hotel to everyone who is intended to stay in Turin for a couple of days, all touristic sights are within walking distance.

Wer die Sehenswürdigkeiten Turins besuchen will, ist hier genau richtig. Galleria Sabauda, Palazzo Reale usw. sind innerhalb von 10 Minuten zu Fuß bequem erreichbar. Zimmer neu ausgestattet und sehr sauber, mit wirksamer Klimaanlage. Freundliches Personal. Gutes Restaurant im gleichen Gebäude. Negatives können wir nicht berichten.

Good location near main squares ect. They have free parking for three cars. Go to their restaurant for a good meal and service and 15% off the total bill. Room 418 is facing the courtyard but the aircon is very noisy! I would recommend 414 because aircon is quiet and street below isnt too noisy (even on world cup final night!). Staff were friendly and helped us translate when our hire car broke down outside the hotel. Overall its great value.

We were traveling with a small child, and the hard tile floors in the room were not toddler-friendly. Also the floor was not clean when we arrived (I think they vacuumed but did not mop it). The room was adequate but totally devoid of personality, and there was a balcony that our toddler kept trying to climb over each time we opened the window for air. However, the location was central and perhaps that is what we were paying for... Somehow the Web site and comments had led me to expect something more of this hotel. It is really a business traveler's hotel, not so cozy for families or other recreational travelers.

Hotel staff friendly hotel v clean and location good will hopefully retiun

The hotel has a great location in the centre of Turin, Rooms excellent,staff welcoming and helpfull .We shall definitely be returning.Highly recommended.

Buona qualità della struttura in generale, posizione centrale ma tranquilla; personale preciso e disponibile. Mi sarei aspettato qualcosa in più dalla prima colazione (caffè da distributore automatico, scelta piuttosto limitata). Da consigliare per brevi soggiorni.

It was really comfortable to stay there! I would like to recommend it to my friends!

Very impressed with the hotel, certainly lived up to expectations. Friendly helpful staff, clean and spacious room, very well located for the city centre (only 5-10 mins stroll). Would have no hesitation about staying there again.

Petit hotel sympa tres bien situe pour visiter la ville a pieds ,tres bon acceuil chambres tres bien ,petit dejeuner un peu leger

Well situated, with good access to the public transport system. Breakfast is good. T]It took about 5 minutes of running to get hot water for shower. The shower leaked into the bathroom floor. I would stay there again.

J'ai adoré mon séjour dans cet hôtel, très propre, très accueillant. Il est très bien situé, près du centre et de la gare et dans un quartier sécuritaire.

I found the hotel staff very welcoming. Location was brilliant. Everything was walkable. Tourism office in Turin were particularly helpful. The hotel room was clean and spacious. Unfortunately the air conditioning didn't do too much to keep the room cool but I don't suppose there's much you can do about that. It was a budget hotel and we had everything we needed to make our stay fantastic. I'd highly recommend Hotel Le Petit.

A very nice, clean hotel in a great area of Torino. In step with the entire city, the hotel is gearing up for the winter 2006 Olympics hence there's a bit of construction in the courtyard which makes for the slightest bit of noise on weekdays. Otherwise it is very quiet and nice. I agree with some comments about the breakfast. The food is fine, what one would expect but the coffee out of the 'free' machine is horrid. They do offer real espresso for 1 euro. Of course, Torino has so many nice cafes, I wouldn't let Le Petit's breakfast keep you away. The rooms are wonderfully clean and comfortable and the staff very friendly.

Well located and very good value. Staff very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.

If one is looking for a relatively inexpensive hotel in the very centre of Turin and does care quietness (=no street noise) then this place is a perfect choice. The only "noise", very nice otherwise, we could hear at night was the sound of the clock from the church tower nearby. Also the cleaness of the room and the bathroom was worth mentioning.

Very pleasant ith a French influence. There was no problem when I called to move my reservation up a day. Location near center of town was good. Excellent breakfast and staff was very helpful with any questions I had. Hotel has its own restaurant which was temporarily closed so I could not try it; it reopened on day I departed. Other good restaurants are nearby.

Posizione accessibile dalla stazione e dai bus ;permanenza molto confortevole; migliorabile la colazione, come la competenza sulle informazioni su mezzi e direzioni da parte della reception.

Very convenient for tourist sites, long walk to Lingotto Conference Center.

A very good and comfortable hotel with an excellent service and very clean rooms, situated in the center.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it as a great place to stay.....very central and very welcoming. overall a great weekend away

We used 1 double and 1 single. Both were very fine. I found very good quality in the three star range

When we arrived we discovered that the heating in our room did not work. We asked if we could change rooms but were told that someone would fix it. When we got back after a fun night out we found the room was FREEZING and this time they let us change room, so we had to shift our luggage whilst quite drunk at 3 o'clock in the morning!! The breakfast in the hotel was terrible. Coffee was from a vending machine. Food consisted of hard bread rolls, processed cheese triangles, crackers and unpleasant yoghurt. We were offered a total discount of 10 Euros for our troubles (room rate was 90 Euros) and a box of chocolates. The hotel was in a good location, very clean and very quiet. However, I wouldn't stay there again.

Very pleasant staff who changed the date of my stay and the last moment without a quibble. Although not there long room clean, quiet and very comfortable.

Centrally located, comfortable clean room. We would go again. Their web should mention that it is easy to get to the hotel from the airport via the train and the number 11 bus. We found this out by luck.

A few possible improvements for Le Petit: . have a larger parking for guests (only 3 cars) . more bread at breakfast . room (#414) was too cold. Need better heater

Despite the floor that was too much cold, all the rest is perfect...

I can only suggest you this nice hotel if you are planning a vacation in Turin: it is clean, very comfortable, quiet, and right in the centre of the city, just a couple of minutes from piazza Castello, and the Egyptian Museum. It also has many bus/tram stops near, so you will be able to move quickly both to the south (to go, for instance, to Stupinigi or Lingotto) as well as to the north (e.g. to go to Superga). Finally is has many restaurants in the nearby with good low-price menus. What do you what more?

We spend a very pleasant night in this hotel, which was ideally situated, very clean and spacious. Breakfast was also quite good (Italian style),also it did not cater for people who like something savioury in the morning

Very nice hotel for very good price, located in very good area of the city. The only drawback is some noise from the outside, but this should be expected in the center of the city.

Le Petit was very easy to find, even walking at night from the train station. Most of the reception clerks did not speak much English but we were able to get directions to a nearby cafe for a late dinner. The rooms were a little cramped but very clean and the beds and towels were comfortable and fluffy. We referred some travellers to Let Petit even while we were still in Italy and would definitely stay there again.

Reception staff were very welcoming and efficient on our arrival. Our three rooms were available immediately and were clean and well presented. The hotel is an a great position just off via Garibaldi. It is easily accessible by foot from where the airport bus drops you off by the main train station. Perhaps a 10-15min walk depending on luggage. It is handy for the central sites, being within walking distance of Piazza Castello, via Roma, etc. and about 10 minutes walk to the bus stop to get to Stadio della Alpi. Based on reviews I had read, I requested rooms on the courtyard side of the hotel. There was some building work being carried out in the courtyard during our stay. This wasn't really a problem as it wasn't too noisy so long as the double glazed windows were closed. It didn't start too early or finish too late so unless you're planning to stay in your room all day with the doors and windows open it shouldn't trouble you. If you think it may be an issue it might be worth checking with the hotel if the work has been completed. We had no major problems during our stay. The staff were helpful when required (opening the door to let us in at 0530 after White Night without complaint, one room key locked in a room) and approachable and friendly throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others visiting Turin.

The hotel was clean if slightly anonymous and the staff were efficient. The room was a decent size for a single room. It was reasonably close to the station and very close to Piazza San Carlo and the tourist sites.
