Ozanam House

Ozanam House is a university residence that also operates as a hostel, at Via Foligno 14 in the Borgo Vittoria district of north-western Turin, Piedmont. It lies about 3.2 km in a straight line from Piazza Castello and about 4.0 km from Torino Porta Nuova station, in a residential area beyond the Dora river that is far from the main tourist sights but well served by local buses and trams. The district is quiet and local in character, with neighbourhood shops, bakeries, small trattorias and the green spaces of the Stura river area to the north, and it is a useful base for visitors with business or family reasons to be in northern Turin. The atmosphere reflects the building's primary role as student housing: it is simple, practical and community-oriented, with a mixture of students, researchers and budget travellers. Accommodation consists of dormitory beds, from about EUR 25 per night, and single rooms, with prices for private rooms indicated at around EUR 50 to 100 per night depending on the season. Wi-Fi is available. Details of meals and shared kitchens are not confirmed in the available data, so visitors should ask the residence directly. The surrounding streets provide inexpensive cafes and food shops, and the city centre can be reached by public transport in about twenty to thirty minutes. The service character is modest and functional, without the extras of a hotel, and it appeals to people who want a low-cost bed with a more residential and authentic Turin experience. The residence is run through an organisation whose website, meeting-service.it, gives booking information and current conditions. Visitors should check availability well in advance in the academic year, when the building prioritises students, and confirm check-in hours before arriving late.
