16/04/2026: I recently stayed at the Combo Torino and had an overall very positive experience, ideal for those seeking a dynamic, designer-inspired environment in the heart of Porta Palazzo.
Strengths
• Design and Structure: The industrial-style renovation is truly impressive. The spaces are spacious, airy, and tastefully furnished, capturing the building's soul in a modern and functional way.
• Hospitality: Special praise goes to the staff's courtesy. They were extremely kind, helpful, and ready to offer helpful tips about the city.
• Breakfast: Truly excellent. Fresh products, variety, and quality above average for hostels/hotels in this category. A great way to start the day.
Cons (Noise)
Despite the high quality of the structure, there are a couple of noise-related issues that could disturb light sleepers:
1. Exterior: The area is very central and lively, but the frequent passing of trams can be clearly heard in rooms overlooking the street.
2. Interior: During my stay, there were some rather disruptive school groups. Since the common areas are very large and open, the chatter and crowded hallways tend to create an echo effect that can be tiring in the evening or early morning.
In summary: Combo is a splendid property, with a vibrant soul and impeccable service. I highly recommend it to those who love design and conviviality, perhaps suggesting bringing a pair of earplugs if you want absolute silence.
07/04/2026: I had a truly excellent stay. The place offers all the facilities you could possibly need, and everything is very well thought out. Both the rooms and the common areas were extremely clean, and the level of hygiene was impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The breakfast was also very good, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options—perfect for starting the day. Overall, as a solo traveler who has stayed in different hostels around Europe, I can definitely say that this is one of the top. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely choose to stay here again.
