NH Ambasciatori

I was in Turin to visit friends and they suggested the Jolly Ambasciatori, which I think is now called NH. The location was fantastic, a one minute walk from the metro (the Turin metro is FAB, you feel like you are in a sci-fi movie, everything is clean and automated), and a ten minute walk to the Porta Susa railway station (where you feel like you are in a movie about the Wild West--Susa is not my favorite railway station). This hotel really deserves all its four stars, it is big, the staff is super professional, it is gleaming, all the furniture, carpet and whatnot is classy and in perfect condition, and the bed was huge and very very comfortable. Breakfast is really very complete, with everything you could want and more except, alas! for a decent cup of coffee. It is ironic that you cannot get good coffee in a hotel in Italy. I think that European hotel owners must truly believe that Americans like bad coffee and they try to accommodate us. But there is a bar literally 10 steps away that has great coffee with the great coffee smell so the coffee should not deter you from staying at this fantastic hotel. I slept great all three nights and I got a fantastic rate, and I only wished I could stay longer. The only tiny thing was the a/c thing, you can't set the fan to keep blowing and so it switches on and off which I find a little annoying noise-wise.
