We arrived to Turin to see the The Shroud of Turin on display, but had no booked a hotel in advance. The first couple of hotels we checked near the train station were either full or too expensive. Hotel Bologna cost 90euros for one night in a double room and it was a perfect location, just across the street from the main station, which is therefore an easy walking distance to the Royal Palace, Egyptian Museum, Film Museum, etc. (Turin is quite small, easy to walk all of it.) The only imperfection is that we never did manage to get the tv in our room to work.

I chose the Hotel Bologna after reading many favorable reviews from this site and other sources. The best thing about this hotel is the location. This hotel is a very basic European hotel. Don't expect any help getting your luggage to the elevator( you have to go up 2 stairs to get to it) much less to your room. Our room was on the second floor faceing a side street. We never had a good night sleep due to the noise. We had to ask for soap and toilet paper a several times. The bed had seen better days. The best way to describe it is you lie down as close as possible to the edge and fight all night to keep from rolling to the middle. I asked Simone, at the front desk, if he could change our room (we were staying for 6 nights) and he said he would see if he had anything else. After checking for 3 days I gave up asking. Simone is the only English speaking person in the hotel. If you need something when he isn't there you're on your own. Breakfast was hit and miss depending on who set up the food. This hotel is ok for one night.

This hotel was a fabulous find. As we were booking on our way to our destination, this was a pleasant surprise. They provided us a parking spot right in front of the hotel (very convenient) and it was in a perfect location for touring around on foot. Found a great restaurant just around the corner from the hotel (pasta and pizza).

We have an 11 year old child with us so they provided us with a suite. My son enjoyed having his own space. All rooms fully renovated, beautiful hardwood floors, wood furniture. Owners very friendly and helpful.

Stayed at the Hotel Bologna for four nights in June. Friendly family running the hotel, comfortable spacious rooms, modern bathrooms. Breakfast was a simple. The hotel was a pleasant surprise - The location was great for exploring Turin. Added bonus was free wifi.
