HOTEL GALIMBERTI, Turin

Hotel Galimberti sits in a quiet residential square, 1 km from both Stadio Olimpico and Turin Lingotto Railway Station. The Lingotto Congress Centre and Oval Lingotto Arena are a 5-minute drive or a 10-minute walk via an elevated pedestrian path. A bus stop right outside connects to Turin's centre in around 20 minutes. The area is well served by restaurants, pizzerias, cafés, and a supermarket, all within a few hundred metres. For motorists, free street parking is often available on the spacious square, supplementing the paid on-site option.

All rooms feature soundproofing, air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom with a crystal-glass shower and hairdryer. Some rooms include a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard. Apartments with separate living and sleeping areas, a washing machine, and a seating area are also available. Beds are consistently described as very comfortable. Room sizes vary: some are spacious while others are compact but functional and well-equipped. Parquet flooring, electric shutters, a work desk, and an alarm clock are standard. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms clean and tidy.

Breakfast includes a selection of bread, pastries, cold cuts, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, and hot drinks. Homemade pastries are a highlight. The breakfast can be taken in the room upon request. For other meals, a bar is available for drinks and packed lunches can be ordered. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but numerous dining options - including pizzerias, sushi, and gelaterias - are within a 3- to 5-minute walk.

The hotel does not offer wellness or leisure amenities such as a spa, swimming pool, or gym. Its value lies in its proximity to the Inalpi Arena, Stadio Olimpico, and Lingotto Congress Centre, making it ideal for event-goers. The surrounding area has parks and walking paths, and the city centre is easily reachable by bus for further leisure options.

A business centre with fax/photocopying is available. Private parking costs €15 per day and must be reserved; free street parking is plentiful.
