A backpacker-style two-star in San Salvario, close to Porta Nuova. It lies about 1.5 km in a straight line from Piazza Castello and 0.6 km from Torino Porta Nuova station.
Tomato Backpackers Hotel is a budget two-star, backpacker-style hotel at Via Silvio Pellico 11, in the San Salvario district of Turin, Piedmont. It lies about 0.6 km from Torino Porta Nuova station and about 1.5 km in a straight line from Piazza Castello, so arrivals by train can reach it on foot in a few minutes. San Salvario is one of the city's liveliest and most multicultural quarters, known for its mix of ethnic restaurants, historic cafes, independent shops and evening bars, and it is also next to the Valentino Park, the large riverside garden along the Po. The atmosphere is informal, social and aimed at young travellers, students and budget visitors who value location and price over frills. The accommodation includes dormitory beds and private rooms, which allows solo travellers to choose the cheapest option and couples or small groups to take a private room. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Breakfast and kitchen arrangements are not confirmed in the available data, but the surrounding streets are rich in cheap and good places to eat, from pizza by the slice to Piedmontese osterie and aperitivo bars that serve generous snack buffets with a drink, a favourite way for budget travellers to have dinner in Turin. The service character is relaxed and informal, with staff who typically help with maps, tips on the city and public transport. Rates are indicated at roughly EUR 60 to 110 per night, with dormitory beds below the private room price. The metro and bus lines at Porta Nuova link the area to the centre and to Lingotto, and walking to Via Roma, the Egyptian Museum and Piazza Castello takes about fifteen to twenty minutes. Because San Salvario is lively at night, light sleepers should ask for a quieter room, and visitors can check current rates and the policy details on tomato.to.it.
