Duparc Contemporary Suites

“Visit in Torino”

Very confortable hotel near a park. Big room with all confort. Parking at disposal Breakfast a litlle bit light. Receptionist staff very helpful and to have a spa with jacuzzi is very convenient after a full day in the city center. Think to reserve the spa before arrival to be sure to get access

Our next hotel on this Italy trip was the Duparc contemporary suites in Torino. It immediately surprised us with a rather large stairway down which we had to carry our luggage down (and then up) ourselves. Unfortunately, no one at reception even looked in our direction. But our suite on the third floor was nice! It was basically a 2.5 room apartment with an entrance hall, living room, bedroom and kitchen divided into two areas for cooking and dining and a bathroom with shower. It is a modern hotel with a large lobby. It is designed for long and comfortable stay, as indicated by the price list on the wall of the hallway cupboard. Duparc will definitely appeal to young large companies. The room was equipped with everything that should be in a modern apartment: refrigerator and minibar, dishwasher, microwave oven and oven, kettle and coffee machine, safe, TV, free wi-fi. The windows faced strictly to the east, which my wife liked very much. But I can't say anything good about the breakfasts. They were rather boring, monotonous breakfasts, and it was obvious that the hotel saves on them, although it is 4*. If in Saturnia & International Venezia guests eat with Villeroy & Boch dishes, then in Duparc both dishes and furniture are just from Ikea. The hotel is located at some distance from the center of Torino, which you have to get to by public transport. But nearby is Valentino Park, which we never went to due to lack of time. I specifically chose this hotel closer to Pala Alpitour. But we also had to take a bus to it. I have no questions about the cleanliness of the rooms - the rooms are cleaned daily, refilling the stock of free bottled water, tea bags and coffee in capsules. The hotel has a spa and gym. Pleasantly surprised by the prices in the restaurant for dinner. They are considerably less than at the restaurant in the center of Torino. Two things surprised me in an unpleasant way at the Duparc. First, there were no bathrobes in the room. And when I went down to reception I found out that it costs 4 euros to get a robe, and if you want to change it, you have to pay 4 euros for each new robe. Dudes, you're doing business in a weird way! You should add that 4 euros to the daily room rate and put bathrobes in the rooms. You can change them once every three days and the guests will be happy, and you will earn money. Secondly, in the restaurant at breakfast I saw a table with open wine and Prosecco. I almost poured myself and my wife a glass. But I decided to ask. And the waitress told me that it's an extra charge. But come on! It's in public view, open and available! Why don't you put those bottles behind the bar? Just lazy, huh? We already had three suitcases at check-out, not two like at check-in. And yes, I had to carry them all up the stairs to the street, the staff at the reception looked on with interest. Verdict: I recommend it for young people, business travelers and people not older than 60.
