Camplus Guest Lingotto - Casa per Ferie

Great stay!

Huge simple rooms in converted 1930s FIAT factory. Think urban loft. It doubles as guest accommodation for the university. Lots of students and parents. If you're into architecture you'll particularly love it.

Great place and great staff. Such a nice building too (even if it is mostly a shopping mall now). Go to Eataly for dinner across the road, its amazing.

A different hotel from what you would usually expect. I chose it based on a suggestion from a colleague as its a few minutes’ walk from the Client we were visiting (Fiat). It’s actually part of the old Fiat factory from the 1920’s now converted into a Leisure complex containing a Shopping Centre, Cinema and the Hotel – it’s the factory that has the test track on the roof – the one in the scene from the Italian Job (the 1969 film, not the crap remake). In fact, you can see the ramps within the building. Rooms are huge and very clean and comfortable, if a bit industrial. The amenities in the hotel are basic (no bar as an example) but continental breakfasts are great. Great supermarket across the road If you are looking for a place walking distance to Turin city centre (about 10 mins. in a taxi), not ideal as on the outskirts, but for £126 for 2 nights, I’m not complaining.

I made the mistake of going to Lingotto rail rather than Metro station, and then getting lost following an incorrect Google Maps marker (I fixed it), so was a bit frustrated by the time I got there. But staying in an old Fiat car factory was pretty cool! The rooms were more than adequate and with breakfast included was more than one typically gets from student accommodation rooms elsewhere. It was only a short walk to the National Automobile Museum which is recommended, and an easy hop to the city centre on the Metro.
