Hotel Urbani - Turin

9.4

I paid only 65 euros per night but the hotel apeared to be a 100++ euro place. Very near Stazione Porta Nuova. Room walls appear to be thin. Apparently we accidentally disturbed a neighbour very early in the morning getting ready to leave for an early flight. (Scuzi)

8.6

Excellent location close to railway station and good restaurants plus easy access to city sights, very comfortable, good breakfast Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

9.4

We spent 5 very nice days at Hotel Urbani, everything was very ok and for sure we would return there!

5.8

The hotel is located near the big rail station and the shopping street. It is convenience. I am relative satisfied with the room, but I do not like the bath room very much. Because it is relative old, and is not good cleaned. Some parts of the shower cubicle have mold, and it smells bad. The stuffs of the reception are also not so friendly. We had to wait long on the first time at the reception. Because a receptionist was always on the phone, and she had not so much of consideration for us.

9.0

surprisingly good value voor money at this city hotel. Very close to citycenter.

9.3

Hotel Urbani is just a few minutes walk from the Torino Porto Nuova train station, easy walking distance to the restaurants, shopping, museums, and sightseeing. The Metro, streetcars and buslines are all close by. Self-service laundry is two blocks away. The hotel breakfast buffet is good -- overall, the hotel is a very good value. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but clean. It was quiet and comfortable, and I would definitely return on future trips to Torino.

6.5

I asked for a double room and what I got was a room with 2single beds. Questioning reception, I was told that I had to specify 1 bed or they automatically vgive you 2 singles. When making reservations, there was not any boxes to check off what size bed is preferred. This made me alittle upset and by the attitude of reception, it made me feel as though it were my fault due to ignorance of the procedure of this hotel. I have traveled to Italy several times and this is the first time I ran into this kind of a problem.

8.3

L’albergo è molto carino e soprattutto economico per dei giovani come noi, ma non fidatevi dei consigli della reception su dove cenare (evitare la “trattoria da Felice” e soprattutto gli gnocchi al gorgonzola e l’antipasto abruzzese!!!) . Se dopo una giornata soleggiata passata a zonzo per Torino, vorrete godervi una bellissima doccia, la farete col sedere di fuori! Dato che economizzano sulle ante della doccia! (pensiamo e speriamo che la stanza fosse per i portatori di handicap) Infine dopo aver concluso il vostro soggiorno è normale chiedersi “c’era l’aria condizionata?”. Non credo che basti il rumore a raffreddare un ambiente, nel caso ricordatevi di avvisare la reception con almeno 24 ore di anticipo se volete risolvere il problema. Mi raccomando NON prenotate con la Postepay perché dovrete saldare il conto per intero, nonostante vi venga congelato il prezzo di una notte che verrà sbloccato solo dopo un mese.

I had a great stay at the Urbani. It's a 5 minute walk from the main train station which was very convenient to the airport shuttle bus, which stops there. The front desk staff was *very* helpful with questions I had concerning my stay in Turin. Access to the wi-fi was very convenient to have. The complementary breakfast was great with meats, cheese, yogurt, fruit, cereals and juices. It was just enough to start my day and hold me over until the late afternoon when I had time to stop for a meal. The room was just fine for my needs. The only weird thing was the shower. I think it was handicap-friendly, but it seemed to have a door panel missing and was very difficult to shower and not drench the whole bathroom. Other than that, the water pressure was fine and it was always hot. Turin is a very walker-friendly city and I think the Urbani is a great place for your home base. I'd definitely stay there again.

8.8

We loved Turin. The Hotel is in a great location as it is close to the railway station and also close to central Turin. There are also many bars and restaurants close to Hotel Urbani. Thoroughly recommend this hotel for location, service and price.

8.9

Although this was a lovely hotel with very helpfull and pleasant staff the street in which it was situated was a bit of a let down. The day we arrived the first thing we noticed was that there were a couple of "ladies of the night" hanging around, infact we were not quite sure which gender they actually were.One night we were kept awake with people from the restaurant opposite fighting in the street which resulted in the police having to be called.If this hotel was in another street i would have no problem recommending it to others.

8.2

The staff at the Hotel Urbani were warm and welcoming. They were very helpful in arranging parking for my car nearby and on the last night as I had a very early start they allowed me to park outside the door. Everything was clean and although the room was quite impersonal in the style of a chain hotel, it had everything you needed,bed was comfortable, everything worked, bathroom spotlessly clean and relatively spacious. This is not a luxery hotel or with any great character but cannot be faulted for comfort and cleanliness. Also the breakfast was buffet continental style and had plenty fo fill you. I was recommended a restaurant nearby also called Urbani which was really nice and given a map of the town. The reception was open 24 hours so always there was somebody to help you if needed. There was internet in the downstairs lounge, which had a rate of a couple of euros for half an hour but as I was only using it for 10 or 15 minutes they never charged me. When I had to send an emergency fax, it was no problem to use their machine. The hotel is well located, just a few minutes walk over to the historic old part of town and you are near to many bars and restaurants, banks etc. This hotel was good value for money and as I really enjoyed Turin I would have no hesitation in going back to the Hotel Urbani or recommending it to my friends.

10

This is an excellent hotel and fantastic when you enter in the price.

9.9

I thought this was a good hotel at a good price and the location was OK. Very convenient to the rail station it was about a block and a half on the ‘wrong’ side of Corso Vittorio Emanuele. This location saved us money on the hotel room (65 euro a night) and still allowed us to walk to the tourist sites. The room was very nice, the staff friendly and I had no complaints about the neighborhood.

Ottima posizione, vicino alla stazione ed alle vie principali per raggiungere il centro a piedi. Pulito e con ottima colazione.

8.5

We wanted a hotel near Porta Nuova Train Station - and Urbani is only 100 metres or so from the station. It was excellent value for money, costing us only 65 euro incl. breakfast. The room was clean, neatly furnished, and had a good bathroom. Initially we were given a twin room overlooking the road. We returned to the desk and asked if we could have a 'matrimoniale' (double bedded room), and were straight away given keys for a room on about the 5th floor overlooking the courtyard at the back of the hotel. This roomed seemed nicer, quieter, had a small balcony, and the beds made up as a double. Breakfast was pretty good - a buffet. Coffee was do-it-yourself from a machine, so not that nice.

6.5

The breakfast is great! We only stayed one night in the city, so the breakfast is very importance to us. But I was very angry for their charge way. As venere committed, I can cancel the booking and do not have the penalty in 2 days before check-in. However, they hold the money in 10 days before! If I cancel the booking in 2 days before, the money can't be refund until 2 weeks later.It's very unfair!

8.6

highly recommended

9.6

L'hotel è vivcino alla stazione e al centro in una posizione comoda per chi è a piedi. La via di notte si popola di "strani personaggi" ma penso che non sia solo un problema di quella via, forse è proprio un problema della città. Alla reception le donne sono più gentili degli uomini. la nostra stanza aveva un terrazzino molto carino.

9.4

Excellent value for money and a great central location for all the sites and for access by the airport bus.

8.4

Stanza minuscola, ma molto pulita. Bagno spazioso e molto pulito. Colazione eccellente. Di giorno abbiamo visto alcune prostitute nelle vie adiacenti a quella dell'hotel ma di sera la zona era molto tranquilla. Comoda anche la posizione.

9.7

it was our second stay in Urbani and it was great. franceska at reception is absolutely amazing. we went to Torino for my birthday and hotel organized flowers and champaign in the room just like my husband asked, even though it's not in the registry of services provided. they recommend very good restaurants and will make all the reservations for you is you ask. rooms are not huge, but very clean. breakfast is very good too. exceptional value for money, great location, fantastic staff,handy parking. would recommend it to everybody

8.8

The hotel is very close to Porta Nova train station, less than 5 min. It fills what is expected from a 3 star, which doesn't happen often in Italy. The rooms are small but they fit everything needed.

9.9

I was surprised at how nice the hotel was given the low price. The towels, toiletries etc... were of excellent quality. The location was great. In spite of being very close to train station, there is no noise from the trains. The only problem is that they don't have any "letto matrimoniale" The full beds are two single beds pushed togther, as is VERY common in Italy.

9.9

simply perfect: inexpensive, quiet but near the railway station. will stay there whenever travelling to Turin.

9.7

Hotel très bien situ, à proximité du centre ville. Chambre très propre, bon rapport qualité/prix ici pour 64 euros la nuit. Presonnel très sympathique. A ce prix là, on va revenir bientôt pour un week end détente et shopping.

8.9

The room was really comfortable and the bathroom was clean and nice. Only negative thing about the room was the noise - we could here everything the people in the room next to ours were discussing, probably because of the connecting door between the two rooms. Location is great and the street despite the vicinity to the railway station is fine (much better than the nearby via Nizza!). Rich breakfast buffet, however the coffee is offered from a coffee machine.

8.0

I found the staff extremely well mannered and ready to provide very good service. The location was wonderfully convenient. I had a large balcony and the view of the courtyards below and the surrounding buildings was very evocative for me and I loved it. The view kept me in a room that was uncomfortably small, especially for a week's stay. I had to use part of my bed for a surface and several days asked the staff to not come in because it was so tight. At the same time, the price was moderate. I would have paid more, however, for space. All in all, I cannot complain and would stay again if a larger room were available. Lovely city, lovely people with a real respect for food, art and culture. I have become a fan over the years of Turin and am so thrilled it is and continues to be 'genuino'

7.9

There was a bit cold in the room.We tried to switch on the warm air, but still it was not very warm.The sound isolation is not very good.You can hear pretty much if your neiboughrs are talking a bit louder. However, except for these two minuses, the hotel is very central, it is clean, easy to reach from the bus terminal SADEM and also close to the station. And the breakfest is really good!

6.8

We asked for another room because our room was next to the street, but the recepcionist did not want. This was the only problem. Breakfast was good and location too.

9.3

My daughter and I stayed here twice, at the begining and end of a 4 week trip. Our first room was on the top floor and very spacious. A bit noisy with the window open and ran out of hot water. The second room was smaller but with a balcony. Breakfast was good and the staff was friendly and helpful. Centrally located close to Porta Nuova Station. Good value for the money. I Would highly recommend Hotel Urbani.

9.4

very nice hotel excellent for the money .!! would stay there again .

8.3

Extremely well located, price was very competitive (59€ breakfast included) for a double room. Breakfast was GOOD, almost everything you would expect in a BF except for sausages, scrambled eggs, etc. The location is great, you can walk to ALL the interesting spots in the center of the city. Hotel in general very very good. Maybe the employees did not get to understand our needs (communication problems?¿) although they were very polite and kind. I would definetely recommend URBANI to anyone who would go to Torino and I would stay there again if I had the chance.

9.6

Great staff, always willing to help. Although breakfast is fine, you get you hot beverages out of an automatic machine.

4.4

This hotel is a very basic hotel - we were charged euro 220 per night which was way too much for a hotel of this quality. The room had a terrible smell which made the room difficult to spend any time in. I understand rooms are normally abourd euro 70 per night which would be a more suitable price for this type of hotel.

8.4

Excellent value for money conveniently situated in the centre of Turin. Single room one night stay idea for business. Facilties are not luxurious but very good value for the price.

9.4

room in the last floor, so roof is low, other than that excellent choice.

9.0

Very nice stay at Urbani Hotel. The staff was really kind and helpful with everything I needed from them. I would go back there and recomend it. The location is perfect, just next to Porta Nuova Station. My room was not very big but it had everything I would need.

8.7

Hotel Urbani was very good hotel. Employees are very kind.

9.1

Worth mentioning that the Internet is not included in price (an extra 3-4 euro a night) but a very nice stay nonetheless.

9.2

the hotel's location is very convenient to the train station and to all public transportation. although it is not the most scenic part of the city, it is conveniently located and within walking distance to major attractions. the staff is very pleasant, and accommodating , offering good information about the city. maps and visitor information is readily available. the breakfast is plentiful. the lobby area is very large with 2 nice rooms to sit and read or talk. the rooms are very small so this is definitely a plus when in need of space. the rooms were clean, comfortable, but extremely small. the bathrooms are clean and functional and of average size. Torino is a lovely and friendly city. i enjoyed my visit.

9.9

A quiet and comfortable City Hotel

9.3

We stayed in hotel 9 nights, service was excellent: nice staff, good breakfast. The only small problem was automatic switching off the air conditioning in the room if temperature outside was low enough. Unfortunately if we opened the window to have more cold, fresh air (our room was on the street side), it was noisy.

8.8

good location - very close to the station. Nice and friendly receptionist. nice breakfast. room is a bit too small. I would stay in this hotel again.

9.9

We were really delighted with this hotel. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We arrived on the train and just wheeled our bags the 2 blocks to the hotel. It was spotlessly clean, the staff were welcoming and very helpful, Breakfast was a more than adequate buffet. This hotel is very good value. On the day we left we were able to walk to the airport bus stop so the location could not have been better. We can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

8.5

The hotel was excellent. The staff were so friendly and helpful, they did everything possible to make our stay more comfortable. We were only in Turin for a week, and the Urbani staff made us feel instantly at home. The area was not at all as bad as I'd been led to believe, the location was great, and it was a pleasure to stay there. It made the perfect Birthday present for my husband, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

9.1

This was the best hotel we had on our vacation, excellent!!!! Large room, excellent bath room, with a lot of space, good service and splendid breakfast. Marvelous hotel in this naborhood. We loved it, and will recommend it to everybody.

10

Fantastic hotel for a very reasonable price. Our room on the top floor was enormous and nicely decorated and furnished. The TV room was well presented, and breakfast was lovely. Excellent location right near the main train station, and easy walking distance to many of the sights in the city. Would highly recommend the Hotel Urbani.

7.7

Very nice hotel and a quiet room very well located in Turin

8.3

A very welcoming hotel in a slightly dodgy area, but very convenient for a few days' sightseeing. Friendly and helpful staff. My room at the back was small but quieter than those on the front.

10

A wonderful hotel; friendly, efficient and courteous. Highly recommended as a place to stay.

9.8

That was our frist visit to Turin and we would highly recomend this hotel we really enjoyed our stay the only thing is that we did not have coffee making facilitilies in the room this is something that is always available in Australia and we really miss this in our stay in Eroupe

8.8

Tutto è andato secondo previsto,anche grazie ai commenti letti su venere...a questi aggiungo il mio.Ve lo consiglio: grazioso, vicinissimo alla stazione centrale e al centro storico. Colazione abbondante e buona!

9.7

I was two nights in the hotel, and was the best hotel I visited in Italy. The price was really really low regarding the quality of the room, breakfast and staff. Really clean and charm. I reccomend everybody to go there. Really close to the train station and the town centre.

9.7

This hotel was just perfect, if I am back to Torino I will never ever choose any other offer, its the best hotel for 3*** really good, area is good safe and so near to the train station so near to the canal and so near to the historical city centre, the most important that its not even 5 Minutes walk from the Egyptian Museum .

9.9

Emplacement parfait pour visiter turin a pied. hôtel très agréable et personnel compétent. petit déjeuner buffet copieux et varié. Rapport Qualité/prix imbattable !!

8.8

très bien situé dans une petite rue calme près de la gare puerta nova (plein centre). les employés vraiment sympas. les chambres sont ok, avec la clim. pas trop diffile de se garer dans les rues adjacentes pendant l'été.

3.4

We had a big problem in our room. There was a only wooden and locked door to separate us with another room. We wake up at 2:00 am because of people's noise coming from another room. Because there was only a locked wooden door between us.

10

Perfect place to stay, nearby centre, price/quality very good.

9.0

This was a lovely hotel within the price range! Excellent staff, good facilities. The only drawback is its location in a very busy area of Turin, which means that complete quiet can't be guaranteed.

9.2

My husband and I loved staying here. The location is perfect, near the train and metro, close to all the hot locations. There's a grocery store nearby and the Valentino park is the best. Prostitutes on the streets surrounding didn't pose a problem or trouble. The staff all spoke English and they stowed our huge bike boxes for three days while we traveled to the coast. Breakfast was the best, most complete we found anywhere! Walls are paper thin but doable. Internet reasonable. Great crash pad with great public areas and helpful, accommodating staff. Thanks!

7.9

I stayed in Turin for a night gig and I choosed this hotel for a good reletion between price/quality. friendly staff, room very clean even if a little bit small, good breakfast (but coffe was awful! too long and too bitter! I took a tea instead!). Location: near the railway station and metro and not far from the city center, but surroundings aren't interesting and without any type of turistic attraction. someone says that it's a dangerous area, but it's only a station area, so, eyes open...

8.8

Quiet and comfortable with a good breakfast.

8.9

Wonderful and kind personnel. Good language skills and helpful attitude. Breakfast very good (rich and quite tasty). Room was very clean, bath room spatious but the room itself quite small. The smell of the kitchen was usually in the room, but air conditioning worked very well. Location was good: near the railway station and metro and not far from the city center... and bad: the area was little bit notorious (but didn't cause any harm to me). I would stay at Hotel Urbani during my next journey to Torino. I have spent very pleasant 10 days there - thanks to the wonderful personnel of the hotel!

9.8

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Urbani - the employees were all very courteous and competent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would like to apologies for forgetting to let you know we were staying one day less than originally booked. Sincerely kate Bentley

8.1

Clean, comfortable and ideal location, with a short walk to train station, restaurants and shopping.

8.0

It was a very reasonable stay.Near to the station,the room is clean.One problem is there is 1 set of towels in the bathroom for 2 person. It takes more than half an hour for the employe to bring one more set.But as a whole,it was a nice stay as the price.

2.2

Despite emails nd a personal visit prior to my arrival and a word at check in my request for a silent room i was subjected to six motors and the air conditioning engine. The alternative room offered was overlooking the same noisy courtyard. No grace given by staff who could not understand the need for quiet or the all night disturbance of noise.

9.1

Simple, clean accommodations near the main train station. Service was good. Air conditioning was good. Breakfast was not gourmet, but perfectly fine. Access to internet in lobby was convenient, though there was a small extra charge. Staff was friendly, spoke at least 3 languages from what I heard. Despite being so close to the train station, we had zero problems with the area, coming in as late as 11:30 p.m.

10

Excelent restaurante just besides the Hotel. The hotel is absolutelly commendable. The proximity to Porta Nova RR Station facilitates the departure for regional trips. Also the new Metro and classical buses are almost "in the door" of the Urbani Hotel. Travellers do not hesitate and go.

8.9

This hotel is ideal for a relatively cheap stay in Torino. Perfectly good rooms all clean and a good breakfast choice. Close to main transport links and within walking distance of most central spots in the city

8.7

Hotel semplicemente perfetto. Pulito, accogliente, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Posizione vicina al centro, ci si può andare tranquillamente a piedi. Era già la mia seconda volta all'hotel Urbani e sicuramente tornerò qui ogni volta che sarò a Torino.

10

It was a very pleasant stay. Very clean hotel, good size rooms with modern appliances and good breakfast. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a hotel very close to the station in Italy and a good value for the quality of stay.

5.7

We booked a double room but were given a twin room in the annexe of the main building. The receptionists said it was not possible to change to a different room, without providing any explanation. The mattresses were old and too soft. We did not feel we were treated as guests but rather shoved to fill a spare, unwanted room, the part of the hotel that would have been left empty and un-used otherwise. Breakfast was okay with a lot of choices but mostly tinned or processed food; there was very little fresh or freshly made produce. The location was very convenient, just 5 minutes on foot from Porta Nuova.

8.6

Camera graziosa e pulita, bagno confortevole, molto vicino alla stazione. Buona la prima colazione. E' stata una pessima giornata ma, una doccia calda, una bella dormita ed un risveglio con il piacevole odore delle brioche calde, fanno davvero miracoli!!!!!

9.0

The room was perfect: clean, comfortable, with hairdrier and amenities in the bathroom, TV, minibar, safety box. Breakfast was not bad. Personnel very friendly. I will look for this hotel whenever I return to Turin.

8.6

Ottimo hotel, nelle immediate vicinanze della stazione di Porta Nuova. Ideale per visitare a piedi la città. Buono il rapporto qualità/prezzo.

7.9

Not bad. The staff was lovely but I found the room very small and the linen a little dodgy. But quite good. I felt comfortable staying there.

9.1

Really excellent for the price! we felt very comfortable there. Location, superb.

7.7

A very good hotel, near the central station and the centre of the city. High level of cleanliness and quitness of the rooms. Very good relationship between price and quality. I have been very well there.

8.5

good relationship quality/price

8.2

perfect in the center of town, not very spacious room but very clean and with all comforts

9.4

The quality of this hotel is excellent for the price. There is an extensive breakfast buffet. It's just two blocks from Porta Nueva Stacione, but quite quiet, and not as seedy as some descriptions led me to expect.

8.4

Decent hotel - on a reasonably quiet street (not a main road) a few minutes from the station. Good breakfast served in the morning. I'd stay there again.

10

Was very comfortable and clean and welcome relief from some small rooms we had in other European cities. Excellent value. Desk employees very helpful. Would stay there again.

8.9

Good pleasant hotel close to where i needed to be for a good price

8.3

Very nice hotel in the heart of Turin Not easy to find if you travel by car, due to some road works and one way roads in the area. Even if the surrounding seems a little bit downgraded (close to Porta Nuova rail station) the hotel itself is a little gem: completely refurbished, helpful and professional staff, very clean and comfortable room, good breakfast, very close to the city center. Will surely return soon!

8.7

(In my case) very clairaudient due to a 'thin' connecting door to the neighboring room.

9.9

The hotel Urbani was our last stop on our tour of Italy and we really did save the best until last. The hotel is very smart and modern, easy to find, in a very good location for exploring the city and fantastic value. This was more like a four-star hotel than a three-star, with excellent public areas, very friendly and helpful staff and a lovely, comfortable room with a spotless bathroom. The rooms were almost silent at night and breakfast was grand and expansive - meats, cheeses, cereal, yoghurt, croissants, breads. Literally everything you could want. I really didn't want to leave! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and I definitely would return in future.

7.7

Nice staff, great breakfast, nice stay in Torino

9.9

Amazingly inexpensive for the quality of hotel. Why pay more? We actually ended up with an "attic" room which had a slanted ceiling. It was twice the size of the regular room our friends had. Bathroom was excellent, great shower. Quiet. Location was fantastic, we walked to everything. We stayed only one night.

9.4

Would recommend hotel. Very good value for money. Lovely staff who were very helpful and spoke good English! Our room was spotless and comfortable. Great breakfast! Turin was good. Recommend train ride thru Alps (only 21 euros for two!) and the Egyptian Museum.

9.1

Quality vs Price says it all.... 10 out of 10. Excellent location.

8.2

Very convenient location (less than 100 metres to the main railway station) and therefore within walking distance to the city centre. Road works for the new metro nearby did not hinder us. Clean rooms and good breakfast. Staff polite and competent.

7.9

Good accomodation, fair price/quality ratio, small but very clean rooms, little bit to noisy from the neighbouring rooms, location very central. I would return at any other time.

9.3

This will be my standard hotel in Torino!

9.0

Hotel Urbani was a very pleasant surprise in every way. I strongly reccomend it.

8.2

Value for your money

9.1

Only disappointment : I asked for a double bedroom and I had each time I was allocated a twin bedroom Staff very helpful and excellent breakfast. Breakfast time should start earlier the weekdays (6am or 6.30am) because both time we had to take early train or bus to the airport. Hotel very well located regarding Porta Nuova railway station for ski destinations and from the bus to the airport. Well located to visit the old town too. Excellent pizzeria nearby (Amici in Vittorio Emanuel Street): advice given by the staff ! Quiet and modern hotel.
