This is a decent and really price-worthy hotel, although it may have seen its better days. It gives you the impression of a local, authentic Italian hotel. The Lingotto shopping center is at a walking distance, a nice walk along the massive, arc-like bridge over the railway. Everything worked just fine and the stay was pleasent. To get further downtown, take a bus or catch the subway at Lingotto. A taxi may cost you 10 euros or so.
