Le Meridien Lingotto - Torino, Italy     

The location of the Hotel is not good if you want to tour downtown Turino. You can take a city bus that takes about 30-45 min. Also if you are flying in it is not easy to get to the hotel from the airport. They do offer a "car" service for 49 Euro. A taxi might be around 30-50 euro but traffic could get you. The hotel is very cool that it is an old car factory. BUT.. the rooms are ok.. for a Le' Meridien. People who say they liked the breakfast and called it fantastic, I do not know were they did eat, but this was on of the worst hotel breakfast I have been to. The hold food was cold, and the cold food like "cold cut" meats were warm. The breakfast staff were also moody. The Hotel front desk staff were very very helpful.. and really went above to give and get info. There is a place called EATALY it is a supermarket with hot food service like pizza (very very good) meats, seafood, and much more.. Walk to over there to eat if you are staying at the Le' Meridien. The roof top "running track" old FIAT test track has wonderful views of the city.. The location was not good for my means of touring around, but might be right for you...

I've been staying there for a wedding. The hotel is well located. The breakfast is overall excellent. However, I have to advise the traveller about my terrible experience for other factor. Two of the 3 nights I stayed there were SPG awards, the 3rd one was prepaid through Starwood website. I got the surprise one month later to find a charge of 161,91 Eur. I claimed them by e-mail in 2 occassions since then. No answer since August despite my reminders !!! Be careful with them for the billing !!!
