The Property — Casa del Re
Casa del Re is a functional 3-star near Porta Nuova station, with a clean, no-frills lobby and rooms that prioritise location over charm. The vibe is practical: tiled floors, reliable wi-fi, a decent breakfast buffet. It suits budget-conscious travellers who plan to spend most of the day out exploring Turin and need a solid base with easy train access.
Chronicles of Turin
Turin was founded by the Taurini, later became a Roman military colony (Augusta Taurinorum). From 1563 it was the capital of the Duchy of Savoy, then the Kingdom of Sardinia, and finally the first capital of unified Italy (1861–1865). Its grid of wide boulevards and grand piazzas reflects a 19th-century re-planning, with palazzi and arcades giving it a stately, Parisian feel. Today it’s a city of industry (Fiat), elegant cafes, and a quietly vibrant cultural scene anchored by the Egyptian Museum and the Mole Antonelliana.
Best Time to Visit
Full Turin guide →Best months
May, June and September. Warm but not punishing, with long daylight hours and fewer tourists than July or August. Perfect for walking the arcaded streets and visiting museums without queues.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak tourism and the hottest month, with average highs around 30°C. Hotel prices rise by 30–50% on Booking.com. Events like the Turin Jazz Festival in July draw some crowds, but the main driver is summer holiday travel.
Budget shoulder season
April and October. Mild weather, significantly lower room rates (often 20–30% cheaper than July), and much thinner crowds. Ideal for budget-conscious visitors who can handle occasional rain.
Weather & packing
Turin summers are humid with afternoon thunderstorms common. Pack a light rain jacket or compact umbrella, and definitely bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the heat.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa del Re, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the back of the building (courtyard side) for the quietest sleep and minimal street noise. These upper floors also get more natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor, especially those facing the street – they will catch traffic rumble and pedestrian chatter from the central road. Also avoid any room above the small lobby or bar area if evening noise bothers you.
Best views
Rooms at the back give a pleasant courtyard or rooftops view – not grand, but peaceful. Front-facing rooms overlook a busy Turin street; interesting but loud.
Quietest floors
Floors 2–3 are reliably quiet, especially away from the lift shaft.
🔊 Noise notes
Turin has moderate traffic noise even at night on main roads, so the hotel’s back side is a real quiet advantage. The bar is on the ground floor and can be lively until 11pm.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a courtyard-facing room when booking – it makes a real difference to sleep quality. 2. If driving, the hotel likely relies on public parking; check for a nearby garage or street parking rules (blue lines pay, white lines free evenings/weekends) to avoid fines.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Turin
💡 Go on a Saturday morning for the biggest selection and best energy. Bring cash; most stallholders don't take cards. Try a focaccia with mortadella from the bread vendors.
💡 Go up to the Borgo Medievale at the south end; it’s a free open-air museum of medieval architecture. Also a good spot for watching the sunset over the river.
💡 Walk up from the Sassi district via the scenic pathway (30–40 mins) rather than taking the rack railway for a cheaper – and more atmospheric – route. The church interior is free; the crypt costs a small fee.
💡 Entry is free for under-18s and reduced for 18-25 year-olds with ID. On the first Sunday of each month, entry is free for all from 10am–2pm, but arrive early to avoid long queues.
💡 Visit on a clear day for the best Alps views; morning light is less harsh for photos. The lift costs €10 but the ground floor foyer and building exterior are free to see.
