Trying to give an honest review about what to expect...
We stayed a week in May and had booked based on many of the things you will have read already.
ROOM
We were 'upgraded' to a Charming Room. It was OK. Not massive. Good fittings and furniture. Just a shower in the bathroom which varied a lot in temperature. All sorts are promised such as two housekeeping visits a day. That only happened twice. Keeping things stocked was inconsistent. The aircon was OK but never really got the room cool during a hot spell.
FOOD
The promise of the best breakfast in Turin massively disappoints. It was a basic continental buffet. Not much choice. I've had far better selections at other Italian hotels. We stopped bothering to get up for it, especially as it closed at 10.30am. We were on holiday!
NOISE
The rooms are cleaned from 7am it seems. The noise of furniture being moved and vacuum cleaners started that early waking us up. Together with building work next door, it was impossible to get peace to sleep in the morning.
The poop are spa are good but not open in the mornings. The staff were helpful if not particularly warm (given it purports to be a family hotel). The lifts feel dodgy.
It is in a good location and overall was decent but perhaps not at the price charged.
