Hotel President - Turin

8.8

I was very disapointed that the Wi-Fi did not work. They really need to fix that.

6.8

good hotel. When we first arrived the AC wasn't working, but we were out and about for most of that time. Their English was okay (I speak Italian, so that wasn't a huge problem.) The breakfast was good. Would stay here again. un buon albergo. Quando siamo appena arrivati l'aria condizionata non funzionava, ma siamo usciti durante quel tempo. Parlavano abbastanza bene l'inglese (non era molto importante perche' parlo l'italiano anche.) La colazione era buona. Ci staremmo un'altra volta

9.9

Weekend agréable malgré 2 points faibles ; pas d'ambiance dans la ville jusqu'à 22h et hôtel à 15min à pied du centre ville.

6.3

Not well located but good bus service to centre of town. We were sent to a smoking room and then when we asked for a non smoking room, were directed to another room which had an ashtray on the bedside table. Hotel is a bit tired but I liked it. Had some character. Good car parking and internet access. The staff were happy and smiling.

A good hotel in a bad nieghborhood

L'hotel è pulito, bello e confortevole. inoltre è ben servito con il centro da una fermata posta di fronte all'hotel. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

6.3

Sweet clean place with helpful staff, but it's on a dodgy area. As a woman travelling alone, I didn't particularly safe going out at night. The air conditioning wasn't working for my entire stay, so the room was like an oven. On one day, the cleaning lady left the door to my room open. Fortunately, nothing was stolen from the room, but I wasn't pleased about that either.

Ottimo albergo buon rapporto qualità prezzo. colazione abbondante e buona

9.5

Lo consiglio a tutti qualità/prezzo quasi imbattibili

9.6

This hotel has made a good impression on me. The only drawbacks are: the price of the car park was not displayed anywhere and the tariff for the wireless internet was not mentioned to me. Apart from that, the cleanliness and spaciousness of rooms incredible. I would definetely choose this hotel if I were to visit Torino again. Thank you.

9.8

Very close to Dora railway station, bit noisy around but what else to expect in Torino. Comfortable beds, clean room, huge choice for breakfast, and kind service everywhere.

8.2

No restaurant at the Hotel. Still nearby restaurant OK.

9.7

This is a great hotel with value for money. The location is about 1.5km from the centre of the city and a whilst the surrounding area might be perceived as unusual my wife and I felt very safe. The staff were great and secure parking out the back.

9.6

It's not everyday that a hotel exceeds one's expectations but here it is, right there in Turin, hotel President will do it! Amazing personnel, super competent, fluent in English and so warm, friendly and helpful! Guys, I love you, you were so great without even realizing it! Way to go! Best to all of you and hope to see you again! Cornell

L'aria condizionata era praticamente inesistente. Servirebbe un servizio bar nella zona di colazione perche' i macchinari per la distribuzione automatica non rendevano una buona qualita' dei prodotti. The air conditioning in the room was very poor. There is no bar service in the breakfast room (downstairs), and cappuccino from the coffee machine leaves much to be desired.

9.6

Personal weekend-break. Hotel met all our needs.

8.5

Ho soggiornato solo per una notte, ma l'hotel è ottimo. La stanza era spaziosa e pulita, la colazione abbondante e varia, la posizione è molto buona (fermata del 10 in entrambi i sensi di marcia, a 20 minuti da Porta Susa). Unico difetto è che la zona è un po' deprimente, ma perlomeno è tranquilla.

9.4

Ottimo Hotel.. camere bellissime, colazione abbondante, personale cortese e discreto, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo! ho appena prenotato x tornarci anche il prossimo weekend!

9.9

Everything is ok, super.

7.9

The service was excellent and the quality of the room and facilities were as expected of a 3 star hotel. The location is north of the city centre, in a run down area near a train station. Therefore not ideal if you wish to stay within walking distance of the city centre but easily reached within 20 mins by bus. However, the quality of facilties make up for the location.

9.7

un ottimo posto per soggiornare a Torino

8.4

Very nice, especially compared to the price.

7.3

This is a good hotel for the price - we paid approx. £50 per room per night. The only trouble is the area is not that nice. There are a few people 'hanging' around. They did not cause any trouble but was slightly intimidating walking past them. While I and my boyfriend were ok I would not like my '60 something' parents to stay there and walk around the streets. The walk into the centre took about 15-20 minutes and was a nice walk along the Dora River. Alternitively you can get bus 10 or 11 right outside the hotel - or number 67 round the corner. The rooms were a decent size with nice big windows, TV, safe in the wardrobe that you don't have to pay for and a minibar. The bathroom was lovely and clean and had a shower, bidet, toilet and sink. They also supplied toiletries and nice fluffy towels. Turin itself is a good place for a short break, we had chilly weather but sunny every day. You must go on the train up the side of the mountain from Sassi to Superga - Tram 15 takes you there. It's only about 5 euros each and you get great views at the top. We visited the Egyptian museum which was good - approx 7 euros. Also you MUST go on the lift to the viewing section of the 'Mole' and have a look around the museum of cinema as well. The red tour bus was good value at 15 euros as you're ticket is valid for 24 hours and you can hop on and off whenever you like. All in all Turin is great, and the hotel was ok if you're a young crowd that don't mind a walk to the city - or get a cab or bus.

8.1

the room was clean but really cold and we needed a blanket more. The location of the hotel is not very nice but historical centre is easy to get by bus. It was a bit difficult to find the hotel by car but we enjoyed to stay there. It is really reasonably priced. The breakfast is good.

8.6

I was in Turin for the first time. I decided to visit the Egyth Museum with my doughter Sara. The hotel was an excellent choice: friendly employees and very nice room. The location of the hotel is convenient to reach the town centre (ca. 15 min. by bus). I would definitely recommend it to other people.

8.7

This is a good hotel

2 DAYS; FIRST TIME

8.4

A great price/quality hotel. Best than expected. Probably one of the best 3 stars hotels in which I have stayed. Very good breakfast buffet. The only bad thing were the sorroundings. A very bad neighbourhood dangerous by night. Be careful... Anyway, a reccomendable place to stay. I would repeat.

8.6

A good, low price choice for a business short stay. Surroundings are poor. Overall quality of offered service is very good.

8.3

Even if the hotel surroundings are not "pretty" (also because there are some workings on the street), it is located really near to the center (you have to take only a Bus, just in front of the hotel), and it is very simple to reach by train from the airport Welcoming and quality of service is really good!

8.5

l'albergo è in un quartiere "deprimente" ma il rapporto qualità/prezzo è eccellente. Il centro non è raggiungibile a piede ma facilmente con taxi (8 euro), o tram. Lo consiglio.

8.6

We had a wonderfull time at the President. The staff multy lingual,and very profesional.If we come back to Turin would stay again at the President,and can recommend the hotel any time.

9.0

Soggiorno ad ottobre, eccellente qualità/prezzo, hotel moderno e confortevole, colazione ottima e abbondante. Unico neo avevamo richiesto due camere matrimoniali e una singola e ci hanno dato 3 doppie con letti singoli, però al prezzo concordato. Personale cortese e disponibile. Parcheggio privato molto utile.

7.5

We staid in the hotel for 1 nights. The location is close to public transportation providing convenient access to city major tourist attractions. I'd wished that a bathrooms should be cleaner.

9.6

The staff at this hotel were so friendly and helpful, and while the neighborhood isn't great, it's an easy walk to Via Garibaldi. My only issue was the room smelling like smoke/air freshener when we arrived, but we aired it out, and at that price, it wasn't a big deal.

9.9

Excellent Hotel, I stay there in October 2007, just area out of the hotel very bad and full of dangerous people.

3.2

hotel too far away from the old town ugly surrounding area (no trees, "industrial", dull area)

8.9

Eccellente. Rapporto qualità/prezzo veramente buono.

8.2

Hotel booked for a party of six and received only positive feedback. We stayed only 2 nights, but it met all our needs. Oops 1 complaint, that there was no hot food availalble for breakfast. Apart from that thumbs up!

9.6

Very friendly and helpful staff. Everybody with working knowledge of English. Rooms very clean, spacious, bathroom facilities clean and in excellent order. But above all, amazing value for money. I wouldn't hesitate about returning to the hotel if it wasn't for one thing: the surrounding. Unfortunately the location doesn't belong to the most exciting ones. Petrol station, no restaurants or pubs, and some unexciting buildings etc. It is a 15 minutes' bus journey to the centre and the riverside.

8.2

Quiet room requested, for 3 night stay - given room on race-car track outside. Changed for nights two and three, then excellent. Coffee and breakfast pretty ropey, but for overall price would not have expected more. Sorry terrace was out of commission the whole time we were there

9.9

Hotel President was absolutely great! We just needed a place to crash for one night before our early morning flight out of Torino, but this hotel ended up being the nicest one of our entire stay in Europe. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bathroom was very modern and spacious (compared to all the other European hotel bathrooms we had seen). The bed was very comfortable and the room was nicely decorated. The hotel was conveniently located right next to the Dora train station. It was perfect for us to get to the airport in the morning. The surrounding neighborhood didn't seem that interesting, but since the train station is right there, it would probably be quite easy to hop on the train to downtown. We were in Torino for less than 12 hours, though, so we didn't have a chance to check out any of the sights. The front desk employees were very helpful and immediately gave us a new room when we discovered that the original room had two twin beds instead of one queen like we had requested. We arrived around dinner time, so we asked for a recommendation for a good restaurant and we were told that not much was open since summer is the off season in Torino. The front desk clerk told us that our best bet would be to go to La Belle Epoque, not too far away. It turned out to be one of the best dinners that we had during our whole stay in Europe. We want to go back to Torino some day just so that we can eat at that restaurant again! We had to leave at about 5 in the morning, so we were too early to eat breakfast at the hotel, but the front desk employee offered to get us some coffee and a roll if we wanted.

8.9

Great hotel, shame about the breakfast, nonetheless the rooms were clean, quiet & comfortable. not in the best of locations but acees to the center was really easy. No complaints really.

9.6

stayed only 1 night as part of the crumball rally,parking was ok the hotel was clean and tidy. the guys at reception were more than helpful with advice and directions.shame the location is er... poor.the rooms were tidy,clean and well layed out.breakfast was plentyful and very tasty.great hotel for a short stop over......

9.2

Really great breakfast. Room even had a save. No noise from the trains, but loud disco music noise and very thin walls, you could hear your neighbours talk. Don't be surprised by the outside looks, it's way nicer inside!!!

9.7

The hotel and bedrooms were very well appointed, clean and maintained to a high standard with good soundproofing. There is secure car parking. The staff were courteous and helpful with good spoken English if required and no one need go hungry with the verity of food on offer at breakfast. The area around the hotel is not the most salubrious, but this is only to be expected in a commercial district adjacent to a main railway station and with good bus service. Excellent all round value.

8.8

Everything was OK, except temperature in the room that was too high and impossible to lower... Besides that it was OK. Continental breakfast, clean, nice rooms, nice staff.

8.6

This is our second visit. Very good place. We highly recommend.Very good value for money.

9.7

The hotel has just been renewed. Rooms were spotless and the staff amazingly polite. Behind the hotel we were also able to park the Car in the closed hotel courtyard for no charge. It was a real plus expecially because the area is not the best one. Maybe this is the only little problem but for 54 EURO a night absolutely the best deal ever. A Bus stop is also in front of the Hotel. A would suggest also to add pictures on Venere about the Toilets which are really well designed and clean. Breakfast was also good with coffee and juice machine available to guests and great cold buffet. Robby - MODENA

9.7

This is the second time I was staying here. This time, my room was looking to the opposite side, which was a little bit louder than the previous one but still not a big problem. Now I'm 100% sure I'll allways return here when travelling to Turin (especially if I consider that the other business partners were quite unhappy with their very expensive downtown hotels).

9.8

We had a really pleasant stay here. The rooms are much bigger than ususal and we also liked the design (furnitures/carpets/...) very much. Staff was friendly and helpful all the time and it was no problem that we didn't speak Italian (in the city it's a problem even in the pedestrian zone/shopping area!!). The breakfast room is a bit cold so it's a good idea to wear warm cloths there. On foot, the city center (shops) can be reached with a 20-30 minutes walk; but if you want to get there faster there are tram/bus stops near the hotel, or you can ask for a taxi. (In the evening, it's the fastest to walk as there's a huge traffic jam in the city.)

8.6

very good price/performance overall, even the connections to Turin's center are convenient the rub: don't have a walk at night

8.6

I recommend this hotel, we were 4 french persons (25 Years)and we stayed in Turin 2 days. It was very excellent and all the employees were good!

8.5

You can do better by possibility of wireless internet access in the rooms

9.3

The hotel president is a professionally run, clean, well kept hotel. It is located close to the Stazione Dora and is a short tram ride from the city centre. Catch the number 11 which will take you right into the city.

6.4

Bonjour, nous étions 2 couple en moto,parking gratuit en arrière court.Les chambres sont spacieuse avec déco peu sympa.Pour une étape d'un soir ça peut aller.Les environs sont industriel et populaires les premiers restos sont loin a pied.l'ensemble est correct mais ce n'est pas une étape touristique.

7.7

La forza di questo albergo, in via di rinnovamento, è l'egregio rapporto qualità prezzo. Con veramente poco si riesce a passare la notte a Torino, relativamente in centro, in un Hotel che vale tutte le sue tre stelle. Di notte, ma solo di notte, l'ambiente circostante non è dei più confortanti e consiglio le persone non avvezze alla vita notturna metropolitana e multietnica di rimanere all'interno delle sicure mura dell'albergo!

2.2

Stanze sporche,con buchi di sigaretta sulla moquette e gomme da masticare appiccicate.Le stanze che danno sulla strada sono molto rumorose,causa traffico e continuo passaggio di tram. RUBANO NELLE STANZE!!!

9.3

this quality with this price! this was my best satisfied stay in a similar class hotel.

6.7

Die Hotelbeschreibung auf der Internetseite entsprach nicht ganz dem was wir angetroffen haben,vielleicht auch durch die z.Zt. durchgeführten Bauarbeiten,eine Terasse haben wir jedenfalls nicht vorgefunden.Die Gegend ist nicht die Beste,eben typisch Bahnhofgegend und relativ laut,aber guter Anschluss mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und das Zentrum ist zwar nicht ganz so nah wie beschrieben aber doch auch zu Fuß gut zu erreichen.Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und Parkmöglichkeiten gibt es sowohl hinter dem Hotel als auch für 8Euro die Nacht in der abgeschlossenen Garage.

6.4

L'hotel di per se` non e` male.Le stanze sono confortevoli e la colazione abbondante. La cosa negativa e` che le indicazioni sulla posizione dell'hotel non erano veritiere, poiche` c'e` molto da camminare dal centro e non e`assolutamente dietro piazza castello!

8.7

Hotel doing renovation on back areas but this did not create unusual noise. Exterior appear-ance gloomy and lights off on marquee and sign one night during stay. Easy tram or bus into center city and free parking in hotel lot a plus.

5.2

The hotel did not appear to be in the historical centre as indicated on the web site, but in fact in one of the not very good areas of the city. The hotel is an ugly building undergoing some sort of renovation/demoliton when we were there. There was no bar, the 'restaurant' was in the basement, and the terrace - we never found that. Add to that the fact that the air conditioning wasn't working in out room on the second time we stopped there (and there was nothing that could be done - no other room available, no engineer to fix it), and a sweltering night in Turin... However, the staff were very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was certainly adequate. Wont be going back though.

4.6

I'm familiar with booking on line but the result I had was a bit far from descriptions. So my Q/P perception. They are renewing rooms.. and the standard in Turin is not so high 'cause structures usually need to be renewed.

8.8

If i come back to Torino i go to this hotel

7.5

The problem with the neighborhood, while certainly not appealing, was that it was in the middle of nowhere, and by no means convenient to the train station or any of the sites in town. The hotel itself was fine, and we got great rates.

7.4

Non è così vicino al centro come ci si aspetta. A piedi non è fattibile

7.9

Not Nearly enough Hangers in the wardrobe only enough for a one night stay, we stayed 5 nights and there were two of us. Standard of breakfast good but please no sugar in the coffee, if we want sugar we can put it in ourselves. Supply of bed linen and towels very good. The people in the reception very good but don’t understand enough English and speak it if Torino is to become a major tourist venue. The hotel was not as central as we understood, however that is reflected in the room prices which we thought were very reasonable.
