We knew we would arrive in the evening by train so wanted simple walk in winter. The station area is never the best but in Torino its ok - v easy covered walkway leads to the glam arcades of Torino.
Bathroom fabulous, aircon adjustable , towel Warmer want one , staff kind wifi an unexpected delight with a pword each. Best of all our large ) double bed is in a clean modern room (some might say too modern) with balcony overlooking side street - it's quiet. . Always feel Accor raise the rates on every visit. We were booking with an Irish friend so I checked rates about 10 times and ended up paying 30% more. Cest la vie. Very happy.

Mercure Crystal Palace Hotel has very convinient location, just couple of meters from the central train station. The room looked pretty clean. Its price is definetly worthed, even though i had booked it just couple ofdays ago. One major problem I had was that the original room i booked did not get wi-fi reception. I had to change to room to receive wi-fi. And the second room was inferior to the original one. I recommend them to fix the wi-fi problem. Otherwise i recomend the hote for business travelers.

We don't know whether to give a 4 or 3 star rating for this hotel. Room quality, service and breakfast restaurant were all very good. Location near the train station is both convenient and interesting in the Italian sense! Although there is a police station just opposite, there is a red light light district also in the neighbourhood. The single worst thing about the hotel (and it is very bad) is the shower. There is almost no lip to prevent water from running through the bathroom. To make matters worse, the shower doors are almost completely ineffective at doing what shower doors are supposed to do. We ended up buying sponges to mop up the floor after each shower. If you don't mind this it's a 4 star hotel! The hotel is newly renovated and with this single but important exception is really very good. Breakfast restaurant is excellent.
