Roma e Rocca Cavour

Roma e Rocca Cavour is a mid-range three-star hotel at Piazza Carlo Felice 60, in the Porta Nuova area of Turin, Piedmont. The building is a historic house facing Torino Porta Nuova station, about 0.2 km away, and it lies about 1.0 km in a straight line from Piazza Castello. The square in front of it, Piazza Carlo Felice, is a landmark of the city, with a large garden and the start of the arcaded Via Roma, which leads to Piazza San Carlo, often described as Turin's drawing room. The atmosphere is traditional and slightly old-fashioned, with the charm of a long-established city hotel rather than a design property, and its central position makes it popular with rail travellers and visitors on a budget. The hotel has 88 rooms, including single, double and triple rooms and suites, and 7 rooms are accessible. Amenities include a bar, a lift, a garage, a terrace, air conditioning, minibars and free Wi-Fi, and a meeting room is available for small gatherings. Pets are accepted. Breakfast is served at the hotel, and the square and the surrounding streets hold many cafes, pastry shops and restaurants for other meals, including the historic coffee houses where bicerin, the Turin chocolate, coffee and cream drink, is served. The service character is practical and friendly, geared to short stays, families and business visitors, and the garage is an advantage given the difficulty of parking in central Turin, although drivers should confirm availability and fees in advance. Rates are indicated at roughly EUR 80 to 150 per night, which is below most nearby four-star hotels. Rooms facing the square can be noisy, so light sleepers may prefer a quieter room.
