The Hotel Torino is about 11 or 12 minutes walk from the Parma central railway station and a pleasant walk as well. The hotel is right in the centre of town, the historical sites and shopping, restaurants and bars all being very close. A small hotel badged as 3 stars. Check-in was easy, the receptionist was cheerful and helpful, I just wish I could say the same for the room cleaners and the breakfast staff. The room was very basic, Yes, it had ample plug points, wifi worked, the bed was OK but not great and there was a small TV, but the fittings and furnishings are very simple, indeed they appeared really cheap. A hard seat and plain desk, no pictures on the walls whatsoever and the bathroom was tiny and yet somehow a toilet, bidet, sink and shower had been squeezed in. I felt like I’d be better lathering myself in oil to squeeze between the sink and the wall! And the shower was like a coffin,....for a child! There was no coffee machine nor kettle with instant coffee/tea. Nor was there a fridge. Breakfast is a fairly simple affair compared with the many other 3 star hotels that I have stayed at in Italy. A few cold meats and cheeses, several of types of bread (but nothing fancy) and just one type of croissant. There were cakes, three choices of cereals, three fruit juices and a commercial coffee machine. The food tasted fine, there just wasn't a great deal of choice. For the price and considering the central location, I would say that this hotel is probably reasonable value for money......just don’t expect anything luxurious nor a great breakfast.
