Work while you travel
Both locations have workspaces designed for people staying a few days or a few weeks: fast Wi-Fi, desks, a meeting room. Plus the two things that really make the difference between three nights and three weeks — a laundry open 24 hours and a shared kitchen always available — which almost no workspace offers.
In Turin the coworking space is open to non-guests too, at 5 € a day; in Rome it is for guests only for now.
Why Tomato
Real sustainability
Certified green energy in Turin, a gas-free building in Rome, tap water in both.
Private rooms and dorms
For people travelling alone, as a couple, with friends or with family.
Kitchen and laundry 24/7
Open at any hour, without having to ask anyone.
In-house café
Italian breakfast and home-made cakes.
Real neighbourhoods
San Salvario and Monti — not places you just pass through.
Local artists
Prints and decorations by local artists in every room.
Our guides
Museums, markets, walks and things to do: everything we think is genuinely worth your time in each of the two cities. Written by people who live there, not copied from a guidebook.
Porta Palazzo Market
The largest open-air market in Europe, where you breathe the multi-ethnic atmosphere of the city.
Monte dei Cappuccini
One of the most spectacular views over Turin, with the river and the Alps behind it.
Monti district
Alleys, workshops and taverns a short walk from the Forums, away from the tourist circuit.
Basilica of San Clemente
Three levels stacked on top of each other, from the twentieth century down to a Roman mithraeum, ten minutes on foot.
What guests say
“Great place in a great location. San Salvario is the perfect neighbourhood to experience the real Turin. The staff speak excellent English and gave us great tips on where to eat.”
“I had booked a mixed dorm and the girl at reception told me she had put me in a part of the room with other girls — a thoughtful touch. And when you arrive the towels are already on the bed, at no extra charge.”
— Eleonora, Italy · Hostelworld, August 2026
“Came for work, came back for pleasure. The coworking space is comfortable and quiet, and the bar is the right place to meet other travellers. Excellent value for money.”
“Lovely place, staff welcoming and helpful. Myself and 3 siblings stayed — perfectly placed next to the train station and great food spots. Immaculately clean, cannot recommend enough.”
— Constance, Wales · Tomato Roma · Hostelworld, August 2026
“Well looked after and genuinely sustainable, you can see the care in every detail. Very comfortable mattresses, a lovely garden, honest breakfast. A hostel with a soul.”
“The structure is cozy, clean, green and strategically located because convenient to visit the beautiful city. The staff is really nice, helpful and ready to answer competently.”
