The Property — Hotel Urbani
Hotel Urbani is a functional, no-fuss base in the block between Piazza Castello and the Porta Susa station. The lobby has dated parquet and a coffee machine that runs all day, but staff are quick and honest. It suits the traveller who wants a clean, quiet room and spends daylight hours out seeing the city. Nothing stylish, nothing surprising — just competent mid-range comfort.
Chronicles of Torino
Torino was founded as a Roman military colony (Augusta Taurinorum) around 28 BC, its grid still visible in the city centre. It became the capital of the Duchy of Savoy in 1563, then the Kingdom of Sardinia, and finally Italy's first capital in 1861. The 19th-century arcaded boulevards and Piazza Carignano reflect that aristocratic power. In the 20th century, FIAT turned it into Italy's industrial engine, but since the 2006 Winter Olympics the city has repositioned itself as a cultural and food destination, with a quieter, more buttoned-up air than Milan or Rome.
Best Time to Visit
Full Torino guide →Best months
April–May and September–October: mild temperatures (15–23 °C), clear skies, and far fewer tourists than August. The parks and porticoes are a pleasure to walk.
Peak / festival surge
July–August, especially August; temperatures can hit 35 °C and the city empties out for Ferragosto (15 August). Hotel prices in 3-star properties like Urbani rise by 20–30% vs shoulder months. The main draw is the summer festival circuit and day trips to the Alps.
Budget shoulder season
March and November offer the best value: rooms at Urbani can drop to €60–80/night. Weather is cool (5–12°C) and variable, but museums and the Mole Antonelliana queue are nearly empty.
Weather & packing
Torino sits in a rain shadow but winter fog is common, and afternoon thunderstorms can hit even in July. Pack a light waterproof jacket and a long-sleeve layer even in summer.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Urbani, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above 3) to minimize street noise from Via Saluzzo. These floors are likely to be quieter due to the hotel's 3-star rating and urban location.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (1) as they may be noisier due to potential street activity and proximity to the service entrance.
Best views

Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the assumption that higher floors are typically less prone to noise.
🔊 Noise notes
