Turim Lisboa - Lisbon, Portugal 

"Great Hotel and staff"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
I recently stayed in Lisbon for 8 nights. I stayed at the Turim Hotel. I booked the hotel online, based mostly on reviews I read online. I really enjoyed my stay in Lisbon and the Turim was exactly the type of hotel I was looking for. The hotel isn't located in the heart of the "Turist District", yet it's about 3 blocks away from the "Parque" subway station. Making it quite easy to go into the downtown core. The area around the hotel is fairly quiet, clean and safe. A few restaurants within walking distance. The morning breakfast was very good, always a good selection of breads, jams, cold cuts, scrambled eggs etc. The staff was very helpful and consistant... When I mentioned that I was going to the Algarve after my stay in Lisbon, the person at the reception asked me if I wanted him to search the internet for bus time schedules. Later that evening when I returned to my hotel. There was an envelope in my room with a printout of all buses leaving for the Algarve from Lisbon on the dates I had requested. The room was spacious and had a "happy" mood to it... In the evening while I relaxed for another day of sight seeing, I felt very comfortable and pleased to be there. The wooden floors and the furniture was not your typical..."let me out of here" hotel room. My room had a balcony and I could see the Castle of Sao Jorge in the distance, very nice. If you don't mind having a short subway ride to get into the more turist locations. Unless something radically changes, I think you'll enjoy this friendly, clean hotel, located in a nice area of Lisbon.

Excellent for a weekend trip. 2 Metro stations nearby, so everything very good to reach. Breakfast o.k. We really enjoyed our stay!

Nell'hotel di sta molto bene, ma devo fare alcuni appunti: la metro non è proprio dietro l'angolo, data la posizione si sentono abbastanza gli aerei (problema comune a molti hotel di Lisbona, comunque) e non è particolarmente gentile il personale addetto alle colazioni, oltre al fatto che, nel caso in cui l'hotel sia pieno, è facile che ti tocchi attendere un tot prima di sederti al tavolo per fare la colazione.

Athough we had our doubts, the hotel interiors and the rooms look really like a smaller 4-stars hotel. Competent reception... they claimed all hotel was non-smoking, though the room we've got smelled, but they changed it immediately to another room of same size that was smell-free. The room interior, including bathroom, were quite spacy and recently renovated. All worked well. The hotel is in a relatively quiet residential area, but not many services near by... however it's strategically located between the airport and the downtown, which worked well for us. Overall, we were very happy with the hotel. Breakfast was included in the price and it was quite reasonable.

Quiet well maintained property on a moderate slope within four blocks of the nearest Metro station. Easy walk to spacious Edward VII Park and the Gulbenkian Museum. Two reliable elevators and about ten rooms per floor. Furnishings feature much highly polished wood and concealed cooking/sink area. Sky-TV is the only English language channel. Corridor lights triggered by motion. Rooms at front have good views of a treed street with two traffic lanes separated by a central parking strip and lined by tile-decorated facades of six story buildings, including a pension and a restaurant with subdued neon lights. Other restaurants and a food court around the corner. Small supermarket adjacent the food court, post office within 50 yards. Rather good breakfast buffet, though the thin orange juice, diced Vienna sausages, slightly powdery scrambled eggs and limp bacon with small pieces of gristle may not be to everyone's taste. Excellent Portuguese rolls, butter and preserves. I particularly recommend the breakfast pastry and cake (not my usual morning fare) as well as the slab of apricot preserve. Decent fresh fruit cocktail and yogurt. Free and usually accessible computer terminal with Internet connection in the lobby. Very helpful English-speaking desk staff. In summary, a restful, comfortable and not inconvenient home from home.
