We were greeted at the door by Andrea, whose care was carried on by Pasquale - excellent service. Tatiana, at the front desk was equally efficient and gracious. The food service, after our first day anticipated our needs. Francesca led the breakfast service.

Grand Hotel Sitea
Everything about the hotel is 5 star — the staff, the breakfast, the bar, and especially the location. No notes, would definitely stay here again.

Hilton Turin Centre
Lovely staff, but experience spoiled by the fact it feels like you have to pay extra for everything e.g. entrance to spa, water in the room, breakfast. We never managed to get the WiFi in the room sorted - I wonder if it’s linked to the push to sign up for Hilton Honors?
