This is one of those hotels where the TripAdvisor reviews make you doubt yourself, but overall, this is a fantastic hotel...for what it is. Is it four stars? I don't know. I would have thought three stars, but look, it is clean, well managed, spacious and in an excellent location -- if you have a car. The neighborhood can look a little "dicey," but we were there for four nights and didn't have any problems. We parked on the street and everything was just fine. I would have felt safe walking around, it's just that it's not a very tourist location. There's nothing to do within a kilometer of this hotel. If you have a car, it's a great location. You can get anywhere in 5-15 minutes. Parking was never a problem.
It's not a luxurious hotel, but it's not run down, either. In fact, it's fairly new. The breakfast was typical for Italy. The staff worked hard and was very helpful -- particularly the front desk.
I gave this property a five star rating because the price/value equation was excellent, the location was good for a stay with a car and the service was wonderful. For a visit to Turin, what more could you ask for? I just hope this hotel doesn't jack up its rates beyond inflation (like many popular hotels do in Italy), because right now it's a very good value.
One last note, I wouldn't call this a romantic destination. This is a business hotel with some value hunters. Nothing more.
