HOTEL ALPI RESORT, Turin

The hotel sits in the historic centre, just metres from Piazza Vittorio and a short walk to Piazza Castello, Piazza San Carlo, the Egyptian Museum, Mole Antonelliana, and Teatro Regio. The River Po with its bars and restaurants is right next door. Parco del Valentino is 5 minutes away. Porta Nuova and Porta Susa railway stations are easily reached by tram (line 15 stops nearby). The airport bus stops at both stations; taxis are readily available. The property is within a ZTL zone, requiring careful planning for car access - reserved onsite parking is available.

Standard rooms are compact but well-equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, safe, hairdryer, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have a balcony. Street-facing rooms can be noisy due to trams and nightlife; courtyard-facing rooms are quieter. Bathrooms are functional but small, with shower stalls or Jacuzzi. The 85 m2 apartment sleeps up to 6 and includes a living room with kitchenette, two double bedrooms, a private entrance, and a balcony - ideal for families or groups. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though some have older furnishings. Daily housekeeping is provided.

Breakfast is a continental buffet with sweet pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, cold cuts, cheese, bread, and excellent coffee from a barista machine. Gluten-free and vegan options are available on request. The breakfast room can feel cramped during peak times. For other meals, 24-hour room service offers limited snacks and drinks. A coffee house is on site, and dozens of restaurants, takeaways, and bars are within a short walk around Piazza Vittorio and along the river.

Reception is staffed 24/7 with multilingual assistance, express check-in/out, and free luggage storage. Services include laundry, dry cleaning, ironing (on request), and fax/photocopying. Baby-sitting can be arranged. Pets are allowed at no extra cost. The hotel offers coworking rooms with desks, internet, meeting rooms, and printer - part of the Geo Smart Campus. Onsite parking costs €20/day and must be reserved; the spaces are tight and cannot accommodate large vans. Bicycle storage is available. Safety features include CCTV, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box at reception.
