Hotels Near The Guild of the Griffon in Turin

Our room was amazing. Even though it's a hostel, we got a room far away from students, and they set up a special bed for our 5 year old. (We assumed he'd have to sleep with us.) It's a great place for a family, actually. There's a nice cafe downstairs, and board games. Everyone was super super kind, and remembered us... Roberto at the desk is a star! The room came equipped with a hairdryer, USB ports at the bed, coffee/tea, a safe, and little fridge. We came for Eurovision, and on the night of the Grand Final hundreds of us got locked out of Eurovision village because they had reached capacity. It was very (very) frustrating. That said, we watched it in our room with other fans, so for us this hotel really worked out, as we were even able to save the evening from disaster.

For those traveling by train, the location is excellent, but I would also recommend it in general to reach all the main attractions in a short walking quarter of the hour. The hotel is very well maintained, spectacular design of the environment (in particular, the bar and breakfast room). In this respect, it is noted for the wide range of buffet and breakfast, sweet and salt, as well as the quality of cocktails and coffee taken at the bar. Clean and very functional rooms with more than adequate and quiet spaces. I don't know how to judge access to the SPA for payment: 20 euros per person are not very few, but it is true that this guarantees absolute viability of the spaces and the absence of screaming children who are parked for hours in water-massing baths making bomb tuffs.

We stayed here as a couple for two nights stay. We were shocked by how nice our room was at first glance, seemed very modern and had a cool balcony. However we soon noticed that there were loads and loads of ants on the floor, wardrobe, bathroom. We obviously told the staff who, when we went out, said they sprayed everywhere/surface in the room with I presume bug spray. This was fine I suppose apart from the fact that all of this spray will have gone all over all our belongings and our bed, which isn’t great. Some ants remained but they said there was nothing more they could do. The main thing you want in a hotel is for it to be clean (bug-less) so this was a real downer as we darent put anything on the floor or in the wardrobe incase ants got in it! We then got a visit saying we were being too loud when ironically I was writing a review on the last place we stayed whilst my partner showered, so we certainly weren’t being loud, not even speaking. Aircon was very loud, couldn’t keep it on all night as it sounded like a car, but at least it worked. Breakfast was fine, hot food looked horrible but they had yoghurts and juice which sufficed. Very good location!

Stayed here for 2 nights. It was a very convenient location being less than 5 min walk from porta nuova main train station and easy walk to downtown. However the hotel faces a street with the tram and buses and is very loud all night. In fact, when the tram passes by you can feel the building shake. The staff are nice but the facilities are very low standard- not sure why this is listed as 3 star. At most, should be 2 star. First, our bathroom was having issues such that when we flush the toilet, some of the waste water comes up the shower drain into the shower. I mentioned this to the front desk, and at first she said she is the only one there and cannot look into until the next day. I told her that it is very disgusting and we are unable to use the shower. Then she said she will look into it when we were out. When we came back in the evening, it was the same thing. By this time, the front office was closed and nobody was there. Yes that is correct, the hotel office closes at 7 pm on Sunday and 10pm other days. After these hours, there is no one to contact for help if you have any issues. This was such a horrible experience. Breakfast was included which was more of a continental breakfast, but the coffee made by the kitchen staff was good. I will not stay at this hotel again. Everyone is nice, but it’s more of a hostel feel to it than a hotel in my opinion.

The location of the hotel is a bit far from the city centre and it takes about 40-minute bus ride from the hotel to the city centre. Most of the staff I met ate friendly and helpful. There is a smart TV with Chromecast in my room. I enjoyed my stay.

This was my first time in Torino & using BE MATE. I was able to walk from the train station to the apartments with the help of GoggleMaps pretty easily. Took all of 10-15min. I had a little hiccup trying to enter the building on the first day. However, with the help from the receptionist (Sabrina), I got inside. The STUDIO apartment was clean and spacious. It was equipped with pots, pans, utensils & seating for two. Along with that, some essential“kits” to clean/dry your dishes and handle your laundry. One thing that wasn’t immediately available were paper towels or napkins, or tissues. The BE MATE team were attentive & helpful. The drawbacks- it is not around shops, etc if that is what you are looking to have, but if you are willing to walk five minutes you can be! The rental of the apartment had to all be paid upfront, so if you don’t mind doing that, then you’re good to move ahead. Overall though the experience was great!

My friend and I spent six nights at this hotel. It is situated near the city centre and near a bus/tram stop called Bertolo, with a good and fast connection to Porta Susa station. Most tourist attractions are within walking distance or can easily be reached by bus or tram. The hotel staff is very polite and helpful and they do their utmost to make your stay a wonderful experience. We loved the breakfast. It was very tasty and there was a great variety of food and drinks. We had two single rooms, which were very clean. My room had a balcony with a view of the inner courtyard (see picture). This hotel offers a wonderful stay in Turin at a reasonable price.

“A way to feel at home, no matter how far home is”: questo è ciò che si legge sulla vetrata d’ingresso dell’hotel e posso confermare che è così che mi sono sentita, perfettamente a casa! Ambiente giovane e fresco dotato di sale relax con biliardino e ping pong a disposizione, sale studio con wifi e una comoda palestra. Ciliegina sulla torta la meravigliosa terrazza all’ultimo piano dalle quale si può godere di una vista pazzesca su tutta Torino e sul lungoPo. Conveniente rapporto qualità-prezzo, staff cordiale e disponibile per qualunque tipo di richiesta, last but not least design innovativo e creativo che richiama molto lo stile delle strutture nord europee, spesso essenziale ma studiato (lo si nota da ogni minimo oggetto brandizzato e dai copy accattivanti). Non in pieno centro storico, ma leggermente fuori (zona Vanchiglia) ma ben collegata sia a piedi (15 min) che con i mezzi, personalmente ho preferito la tranquillità e l’autenticità del quartiere pieno di localetti e ristoranti tipici anziché il caos del centro. La camera matrimoniale davvero funzionale, ben accessoriata, pulita e silenziosa, nonché moderna . Molto luminosa e non mi aspettavo uno spazio lounge con tavolino e poltrone così ampio non appena si entra in camera. Dotata di cassaforte, piccolo frigo e tutto il necessario per the e tisane varie. Insomma, assolutamente consigliato!

Come scrivono sul loro sito, stanno riammodernando l'hotel quindi vi sono i lavori in corso. Quello che non scrivono è che, nonostante ciò, fanno soggiornare comunque nelle due mansarde e che una delle due ”confina” con i ponteggi. Risultato: alle 14 del venerdì invece della pennichella abbiamo assistito in diretta ai lavori. Essendo pensionati, avremmo anche potuto dare suggerimenti....ma quando abbiamo aperto il piccolo finestrino abbiamo scoperto una bella cacca allargata di piccioni proprio sul davanzale. Ciò detto, la mansarda è anche romantica...ma il bagno è un francobollo, con il bidet incastrato tra la doccia e il water. Rotta per rotta, consigliamo l'eliminazione del bidet, così da dare più spazio a chi si siede sul water e utilizzare poi direttamente la doccia. Last but not least, il letto è posizionato sotto il muro spiovente della mansarda e se dovete alzarvi di notte consigliamo di dormire con un elmetto da minatore con luce incorporata. Il nostro era un soggiorno regalato, di quelli Smart box tipo Fuga di mezzanotte con colazione esclusa. Non sappiamo se questa soluzione di soggiorno sia il motivo di tanta scomodità. Forse bastava rifiutare il tutto al check in.....ma quando il giorno del check out abbiamo segnalato i disagi, la gentile signorina, pur scusandosi sentitamente, non ha ritenuto di ”scontarci” le due colazioni consumate ma ci ha promesso che avrebbe segnalato a chi di dovere tutti le scomodità elencate. E abbiamo detto tutto. Buona estate

We chose Hostellerie du Golf on our 5 day visit to Torino for the tennis ATP Finals. The place is located 15-20 minutes by car from downtown Torino in a small village and is full of charm. An old style rustic hotel with big rooms, pool and lots of green areas serving also as club house for the very technical 9 holes golf cours I Ciliegi (the cherry trees). The hotel has everything you need and all personnel was very nice and welcoming. We aldo played 9 holes, enjoyed the shape of the course and struggled with its very technical design and with thr slopes and hilly shape. It was however very nice! The most pleasant surprise was however the restaurant where we had an excellent truffle based Piemontese specialities, all at a very high gastro level! It was really a gem together with a good selection of local wines. All in all, a very good price -quality ratio and a very good option to explore both Torino and Alba (the worldwide capital of white truffles) for those travelling with or hiring a car.
