Hotel Rey

Hotel Rey is a 12-room, 22-bed two-star budget hotel at Corso Novara 16 in Barriera di Milano, a northern district of Turin in Italy's Piedmont region. The hotel is about 1.9 km in a straight line from Piazza Castello and the Royal Palace and about 3.0 km from Torino Porta Nuova station. Corso Novara is a main avenue leading north toward the Stura river and the motorway links to Milan, and it is served by buses and trams toward the centre.

Barriera di Milano is a historically industrial and working-class district that has been changing through urban renewal, with new cultural spaces, street art and food businesses sitting beside long-established shops. The area is strongly multicultural, and visitors will find a wide range of inexpensive restaurants and food shops. The Porta Palazzo market and the Borgo Dora area lie to the south-west, and the centre can be reached in roughly 15 to 25 minutes by public transport.

The hotel lists Wi-Fi as an amenity and offers double rooms, with indicative rates between about €60 and €110 per night, positioning it at the budget end of Turin's hotels. The 22-bed capacity across 12 rooms suggests a mix of single-use and double rooms. Visitors should confirm breakfast, air conditioning and lift access directly with the hotel, as the listing is brief.

Dining nearby is dominated by simple trattorias, kebab and pizza places, bakeries and ethnic restaurants at modest prices, while the larger restaurant districts are a short ride south. The service profile is basic and value-focused, suited to budget travellers, those driving in from the north or visitors with business in the northern districts. Because the neighbourhood is less polished than the centre, visitors may wish to follow standard city precautions in the evening and ask the hotel about routes and late-night transport.
