The Property — Star Residence
A no-fuss 3-star in Turin’s business quarter, a short tram hop from Porta Susa station. The lobby is compact and tiled, with a front desk that’s efficient rather than effusive. Rooms are clean and functional – think laminate floors, white walls, a desk and a firm bed. It’s built for travellers who use their hotel as a base: commuters, rail passengers, or anyone wanting to sleep central without paying for frills. Not for romance or lingering.
Chronicles of Turin
Turin was founded by the Taurini Celts, then became a Roman military colony (Julia Augusta Taurinorum) in the 1st century BC. Its grid of straight streets and colonnaded arcades dates to Roman and Savoyard planning – the Savoy dynasty made it their capital in 1563. In the 19th century, Turin led Italy’s industrial push (Fiat was born here in 1899) and briefly served as Italy’s first capital in 1861. Today it balances baroque piazzas, grand cafes, and a modern role as a hub for tech, cinema (home to the National Cinema Museum) and chocolate.
Best Time to Visit
Full Turin guide →Best months
April–May and September–October. Spring brings mild weather (12–22°C) and blooming parks; autumn offers similar temperatures with fewer tourists. The city is walkable and the Po riverbanks are pleasant.
Peak / festival surge
July–August (especially July). Hotels fill for the Torino Jazz Festival (late April) and the Feast of San Giovanni (24 June), but July is simply peak European holiday season. Expect 3-star rates around €120–160/night; book two months ahead.
Budget shoulder season
March and November. March is cool (5–15°C) but sunny, with low season hotel prices (€70–90/night). November is damp but the cheapest month to visit, with good deals on indoor attractions.
Weather & packing
Turin’s summer days can hit 32°C, but evenings often drop to 18°C with a breeze off the Alps. Pack a light jacket or cardigan for evenings, and good walking shoes – the arcades and cobbles demand them.
Live City Briefing — Turin
- The Turin Metro line 1 extension to Cascine Vica opened in early 2026, making Collegno and Rivoli easier day trips; tickets are €1.70 for 90 minutes.
- The Mole Antonelliana lift is closed for scheduled maintenance from 1–31 July 2026; the panoramic terrace is accessible only via stairs.
- Summer 2026 sees the reopening of the Royal Palace’s restored gardens – free entry for residents, but visitors need a combined museum ticket.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Star Residence, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the internal courtyard. The upper floors above street level reduce noise from Via Susa, and the courtyard side avoids the front street traffic and tram rumble.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor or any room facing Via Susa. The ground and first floors pick up street-level noise from the busy road, and the front aspect gets morning sun and traffic sounds.
Best views
Rooms at the back of the hotel (internal courtyard) offer a view of typical Turin residential buildings and a quiet slice of city life. The front rooms on Via Susa look onto a four-lane road lined with trees and shops, but with constant traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they are above most street noise and away from the lobby and breakfast area on the ground floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Via Susa is a main road in Turin's San Paolo district, with tram lines along it (tram frequency increases in rush hours). The hotel's 3-star rating suggests basic soundproofing, so street-facing rooms will be noisy. Also expect some noise from the ground-floor bar in the evening.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, note there's no hotel parking mentioned; try Via Principi d'Acaja public garage (5 mins walk) or street parking on side streets off Via Susa, but check ZTL (limited traffic zone) signs. 2. Request a room with a mini-fridge when booking—most 3-star Turin hotels have them but not in every room, and it's useful for keeping water cool in summer.
- 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.
