Grand Hotel De Turin

Grand Hotel De Turin

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay. Hotel has been renovated recently. Everything is spanking new. Staff: one young lady was extremely helpful. Cheerful and kind. We arrived early in the morning, they stored our luggage and offered coffee and tea. Lots of restaurants and boulangeries around. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel and opt to go out and have coffee and croissants. It's very close to Sacré-Cœur and Moulin Rouge area. Con - we book the Comfort Double room so it's not the smallest, but it was still tight. Later in the trip we were at a 4 star hotel in the Arc of Triumph area, we had a room twice the size, but we still love Grand Hotel De Turin better. If you like character and lots to do in the area - you will not regret it."
