Like other reviewers have said, this hotel is great for travellers who arrive and depart by rail. My trip to Turin was a last-minute spontaneity, so I didn't get to book a hotel ahead as I usually would. Luckily I spotted this hotel which stands at a corner right behind a very large hotel (forgot its name) outside the railway station. Because it's not on the big street, it's quiet which is very important for a light sleeper like me.
I stayed here for 3 nights, which was my entire stay in Turin. In fact after the 1st night, after comparing the prices, I thought about moving to ibis Style, which is maybe about 500 meters further down the main road. But after all, this hotel's proximity (less than 5 min walk) to the station and quiet room got me stay.
For me I didn't have the shower/air conditioner problem like some reviewers had, and my room is fairly modern and clean.
Breakfast is like what other reviews said, no hot dishes. Not a big problem for me though. Because as a vegan, I guess I'm already used to having limited options.
I bought a one-day pass for public transit, but didn't get to use it cuz I was able to walk to most sights in the old city. For me, walking on the cobble alleys of Turin is a very enjoyable thing!

But if you want to cross the river or your schedule is tighter, then the public bike rental 'To Bike' is recommended. It can be seen in many places.
Btw, there's a tourist information center near by the hotel with staff who are very friendly and helpful.
All in all, I think I'll stay here again.More
