In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The rooms are done in a classic Italian style that is clean and tidy, with simple but functional furniture rather than anything showy. Each comes with free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, split air-con and a bathroom with the basics covered. Some room types are compact, in the usual European 3-star way, but reviews consistently praise how clean they are kept — and there is an authentic feel here that you do not get from a big chain.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is served in the hotel's own dining room, and guests praise both the food and the strategic location that lets you head straight out sightseeing the moment you finish. The staff are friendly and good at pointing you toward restaurants and sights around Turin — the kind of personal service a family-run place does better than a chain. Facilities are otherwise straightforward 3-star: there is no spa, pool or gym, but it covers what you need for a short, location-led stay.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits just 100 metres from Porta Nuova — the closest to the station of any mid-priced hotel on this list. Step off a train from Milan, Florence or Genoa and you can be at the door within 2 minutes. The metro M1 at Porta Nuova is right there too, so getting anywhere in the city is easy, and there are cafes, restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance.
Things to know before booking
This is a 3-star, so set expectations accordingly: no spa, pool or gym, and some room types run small with little space for luggage. Being right by the station also means a busy central street rather than a quiet corner. None of that is a surprise for the category — it is the trade-off for being 100 metres from your train.
Our take
Run by the same family since 1854, when Turin was capital of the Kingdom of Italy, this is the pick when proximity to Porta Nuova matters most. A 9.6/10 location rating and 8.5/10 overall from more than 10,000 guests back up what the reviews say: clean rooms, good breakfast, friendly people, and a spot you simply cannot beat for the station.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- Closest to Porta Nuova of anything on this list — a 100-metre, 2-minute walk, so you can roll your bags straight off the train and check in.
- Location rating of 9.6/10, which is very high for a 3-star and reflects just how central this spot is.
- A family-run hotel that looks after guests with real care — reviews single out the personal, attentive service you tend not to get from a big chain.
- Score of 8.5/10 from more than 10,000 guests, so the rating sits on a large and reliable review base rather than a handful of stays.
- Open since 1854, when Turin was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy — it carries an authentic Torinese feel rather than a generic chain atmosphere.
- Facilities are limited to what you would expect from a 3-star — there is no spa, fitness centre or pool, so this is a base for exploring rather than a place to linger.
- Some room types are small, with not much floor space for opening suitcases — worth keeping in mind if you are packing heavy.
- Being right by Porta Nuova means a busy, central street rather than a quiet residential corner, so it trades calm for convenience.
