Residence Star

Star Residence is a great place to stay, it has everything that residence should have and more, besides it is close to train station.

This is not a hotel but more like serviced apartments. It’s in an excellent location for Porta Susa train station (2 minutes) but not in such a great location for exploring the city as a tourist or eating out. Big room with high ceilings, overlooking a children’s playground. Residential neighbourhood so was very quiet. Comfy bed (sheets and blankets, not a quilt), table and chairs, plenty of wardrobe space, a safe and a great kitchenette with fridge and microwave, cutlery and crockery etc. Coffee machine downstairs. Very warm heating. The room had old-fashioned plug sockets and it was difficult to get standard European adapters to fit. It was a 20-30 minute walk to the piazzas and sights of Turin so not really central enough for us. Despite being so close to a train station, there’s not a lot around in terms of cafes or restaurants which was disappointing. There are places to eat but they are few and far between and a lot of gelateria.

Love the star! The staff is friendly and makes me feel as if I am home ! The location is wonderful ! Special kudos to Gabriel! The accommodations include a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of storage space,.

Arrived at the Torino Porta Susa station and the Star Residence was so close. Walking distance with luggage, close. The English speaking staff were great ambassadors for the property and gave great advice on nearby attractions, including the seasonal chocolate festival which was AMAZING. Overall, Turin exceeded expectations on the beauty of the area, the quality of cultural attractions and the hospitality towards out-of-town visitors. As for the Star Residence, I had a nicely sized room with a private bath, a small, but very functional kitchen, and excellent Wi-Fi signal. The windows even opened to enjoy the unseasonally warm autumn afternoons. I would return to the Star Residence Turin without hesitation.

Nicely decorated room, very clean. Extremely friendly staff. Location close to Porta Susa rail station with high speed train service across Italy, other long-distance and local services. Not in the very centre of the city, but easily walkable to the main attractions. Excellent value, will certainly return, when in Turin again.
