We are a family of four (including two daughters ages 20 and 17) in Rome as a family vacation. Venere was recommended to us by another user and we were more than satisfied with this travel site and with the Torino Hotel... thank you for the posts of others. A couple of posts were not too flattering but now I feel they were more a relection of the personality or expectations of the writer than the hotel itself. Most posts were positive and ours will certainly be at the high end of those who had a recent positive experience. Again, the central location to Termini, to the next door Internet shop, to both the tour and city buses, to the local grocery store in Termini and another one 2 blocks from the hotel, all made the location superb. The hotel was clean, staff helpful and the roof garden was a special treat each morning... the breakfasts were amazing. Enjoyed the pigeons as well!

Our reservation was confirmed for a quadruple, but we were given two doubles for the same price. Rooms were large, very clean and nicely decorated. Bathrooms were very nice with marble floors, large mirrors, hairdryers,large towels. Shower door and shower curtain would not keep water from flooding onto the floors, no matter how the showers were used. Staff was abrupt,did not tell us that we had to return the keys to the front desk everytime we left the hotel until we returned one evening. They would not let our 15 year old son up to the room without the key in his possesion. I imagine this is for security purposes, but it would have been nice to know when we checked in. The staff was either not helpful, not knowledgeable of the vicinity of the hotel or just wanted us to use the hotel's services. We asked staff if there was a launderette in the vicinity and they said no, and informed of us of the hotel's laundry service. We found a nice launderette on the same street as the hotel only 3 blocks away, which had been at that location for 14 years,listed in the Rick Steve's guidebook. Breakfast on the rooftop was nice and there was an ample selection. The hotel is only a few blocks from the Roma Termini train station in an area with many small hotels. Metro station is at the Termini. Open tours also start at the Termini. Colleseun, etc., two metro stops from the hotel. Many shops nearby.

The Torino is well located near Termini station, close to the Opera House, and with a wide choice of cafes and restaurants nearby. There are a few steps to reach it from the street, and steps again to a type of mezzanine level for the lift. There did not appear to be a porter. My single room was just that, and the single bed would have been uncomfortable for a person of more than average height and/or weight. The rooftop breakfast location was pleasing and the breakfast itself ample. What is not well known is that guests may use that area at other times of day for relaxing e.g. writing postcards,reading, etc. The reception staff were helpful in booking tours, and with advice for a woman travelling alone as to areas of the city to avoid.

This hotel was very convenient for my needs. I was only in Rome for a couple of days at the beginning and end of my trip, and stayng near the station was handy. The rooms I got were tiny but comfortable and clean. I was pleasantly surprised by the location. There were several restaurants on the street with outdoor tables, and it was pleasant.

It was a very nice stay, rooms are clean, rooms have Balconies, Rooms have an excellent energy, the option of opening the windows and let the cold air in is great to me( hate Dry hot air) and the one remarkable thing about the Torino, its reception staff is super, super, courteous always a smile. Great place to stay if you hate the onslaught of tourist and like to walk to the major tourist sites.

We have been in Rome lot of times. It was our second stay at Torino. The hotel is perfect situated. Last year we had a better room but this year was also good. The service at reception is not perfect.

Room OK not very spacious. Staff indifferent, seemed below them to help. Bar never opened during our stay, generally didn't seem to be what you would expect from a "4" star hotel hence overpriced and over rated for lack of amenities.
