Guest House Rifugio Urbano is a bed and breakfast in central Turin, just steps from the Mole Antonelliana and the National Cinema Museum.
The property offers three types of double rooms, all with a private bathroom featuring a shower, courtesy set, hairdryer and bathrobes. Some rooms open onto a terrace with garden and inner courtyard views, ideal for those seeking an outdoor space to relax after a day in the city. The atmosphere is that of a carefully detailed home, designed for couples or those looking for a more intimate stay compared to a traditional hotel.
In the morning, a buffet breakfast is served with Italian, vegetarian and vegan options, while free WiFi is available throughout the property. Guests also have access to a shared terrace and a luggage storage service.
The location, right next to the Mole Antonelliana, makes it possible to walk to many of the main museums and squares in the historic centre, as well as to Porta Nuova and Porta Susa railway stations.
The rooms at Guest House Rifugio Urbano are three double room types of about 14 square metres each, designed to accommodate up to two people. All feature a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, courtesy set and bathrobes, as well as a wardrobe and heating, ensuring the same level of comfort in every room.
What sets the room types apart is mainly the outlook: the Double Room with Private Bathroom is the simplest and most compact option, while the two Terrace variants offer a private outdoor space with garden views, an inner courtyard or glimpses of the city, perfect for breakfast or a relaxing evening moment. One of the two rooms with a terrace also has a bidet in the bathroom. The bed choice varies between a French double bed and a large double bed, to suit different guest needs.
