We checked into Turim Europa Hotel late Sunday night (around 11:30 PM), and the staff were very accommodating and welcoming despite the late hour, which we really appreciated after a long day of travel.
Our room had two twin beds, and everything was very clean upon arrival—the beds, linens, and bathroom were all well-maintained. The water pressure in the shower was excellent, and the water got very hot, which was a big plus.
The location is great and within walking distance to many highlights. It’s about a 45-minute walk to Rossio Square and Baixa. It’s also about a 10-minute walk to the bus depot and Hotel Fénix Lisboa, where many tour pickups take place.
There are also some convenient food options nearby. Shakar Coffee next door is delicious, though it has limited hours (9 AM–4 PM). Lídia’s Restaurant is not very vegetarian-friendly. We really enjoyed Buga Ramen, which had vegan options and is about a 5-minute walk—we would definitely go back. Gurkha Restaurant (Indian/Nepalese), about an 8-minute walk away, was just okay.
However, the biggest issue was the heating. The hotel confirmed they had turned off heating for the season, so the system only blew cold air. With nighttime temperatures in Lisbon around 9–11°C, the room was very cold and uncomfortable, making it hard to sleep.
Housekeeping was inconsistent—floors were only cleaned on the first day, though towels were replaced and beds made daily.
Checkout early this morning was easy, and an Uber to the airport cost under $11 CAD.
Overall: clean hotel, good location, helpful staff—but lack of heating and inconsistent cleaning made the stay uncomfortable. We would only stay here again if the heating system was active.
