Hotel Location and Facilities

| El Lobo |
Hotel Turin is located close to the Ramblas whilst also being in the heart of Raval. The area of Raval has changed its reputation in recent years. An influx of independent bars, shops and restaurants to the area has taken away the seedy edge to many areas of Raval and made it a desirable destination for seasoned travellers. The opening of Spain's popular chain café, Sandwich and Friends, in the centre of the area is a sure sign that the area is becoming more tourist-friendly.

Less than a minute's walk from the hotel is a restaurant called El Lobo. It is in stylish settings with large paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling, herb plants on the tables and mixed wooden tables. It offers a good value set menu (Menu del Dia), for three courses plus a drink and bread. The quality standard of the food is high.
Just around the corner from the hotel, within 2 minutes walk distance, is the bar, Dos Trece. This is a popular hang-out for locals. In the day it offers free Wi-Fi and good coffees. In the evening it comes alive with cocktails and eclectic music. It is worth keeping an eye out for their monthly flea market that takes place in the basement - a place for bargain hunting and a friendly vibe amongst the stall holders and guests.
The hotel's close proximity to the Ramblas ensures that you will not be far from general amenities such as banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, internet cafés and bureaux de change.
