Ramada By Wyndham Lisbon

“Super convenient access to metro/subway to airport”

My wife and I stayed at the Ramada by Wyndham, Lisbon for one night at the end of a five week trip in southern Portugal and Spain.

My wife and I stayed at the Ramada by Wyndham, Lisbon for one night at the end of a five week trip in southern Portugal and Spain. We were only in Lisbon because we were returning from the Algarve one day before our flight home from the airport (although we did spend six nights in Lisbon at the start of our trip). We paid the equivalent of about 85 Euros per night for a city view, queen room, booking 5 months in advance through Expedia. Check-in was quick and easy. The front desk staff was very gracious in dealing with a minor error we had made when booking the room. The room itself was a decent size with a standard bar fridge, wifi that was reliable and a TV with plenty of channels, including some in English. We were able to connect our laptop via HDMI cable to stream some sports highlights on-line as well. We didn’t use any of the hotel’s amenities, although we did borrow some cutlery from the bar. The hotel is some distance away from the sights and attractions we had visited when in Lisbon a month earlier. That said, it was in a perfect location on the metro/subway line for us to return from dropping our car rental in the city on the day we arrived, and for getting to the airport the next morning for our flight home. While there was nothing spectacular about the hotel, the price was fair and the location excellent for what we needed to do. If I was in the exact same position again (needing to be on the subway line and not focused on being close to Lisbon attractions), I would stay here again and likely wouldn’t spend much time looking around.

“More stuff wrong than I expect from a Ramada.”

I am walffling between a 2 and a 3 rating because I actually expect better from a Ramada and Wyndham. Reserved a Wheelchair accessible room for 5 nights.

I am walffling between a 2 and a 3 rating because I actually expect better from a Ramada and Wyndham. Reserved a Wheelchair accessible room for 5 nights. (Room 621) Good things- free bottle of water , coffee and tea in the room with a pot, fridge in room, grocery next door, has gym, free breakfast and helpful front desk staff, close connection to bus and subway. Bad things, Price on room was 40 euros more than what it was reserved at, bed was uncomfortable, view was of the apartments next door, some services never happened, breakfast was the same everyday, restaurants in the area may or may not be open, store doesn't have distilled water. Story, checked in was charged for the room (I thought I had prepaid) was 40 euros more than the reservation (could have been taxes nobody said it was when I asked) asked if there was a place to get distilled water, was told about the store next door. Went to the room left the luggage and went to the restaurant in the hotel to have a late lunch. Lunch was good, service so-so, seated ourselves after awhile the waiter(?) came around and asked us if we wanted to eat, we said yes the meal was good had a long wait to get something to drink and food ordered. Went and settled into the room, my wife was having some knee pain so we decided to unpack and relax. I tried to adjust the AC, I was able to get it on automatic but couldn't get the temperature where I wanted it to be. opened the window (6th floor room) and watched the ladies across the way hang there laundry off there balconies.Opened the window for some cool air, we had started to have a runny noses so figured it was the air and went to the store. Store next door( they don't have distilled water they do have Auga Bi-desmineralizada multiusos 5 liter jug (can be used in a cpap but shouldn't drink). Had a good selection of stuff for a local store, had hot and cold food , fruits and vegetables and normal store stuff, I ended up stopping there every day I was there for snacks and drinks. Next morning we woke up and had nasal issues (runny noses, occasional sneezing (Could have been allergies or mild cold?) I hadn't slept well because I kept on feeling the springs in the bed and I noticed there was dust growing off the direction vents on the AC. Went downstairs and requested something to put on the bed and someone to clean the vent. I was asked if we wanted to change rooms (I said no because I didn't want to pack again to move a couple of floors , in retrospect I should have. We got the mattress pad, I ended up cleaning the vent myself. Shower and sink, - adjustments for temperature are tough, a micro move goes from scalding to cold, too much pressure in the sink , not enough in the shower. I took a shower and ended up standing in water that was running in the bathroom because the drain was clogged ( was a trough type drain) I went ahead and unclogged the drain, it came apart easily so I assume that this is a recurring issue (It has a rubber piece that gets clogged and I think it is also a valve to keep things from coming back up the drain). Soaked up the water in the bathroom and requested more towels. Toilet - flush buttons are hard to push. Door - has a round handle and is hard to turn. Closet doors- one is really hard to slide.

“Nice but overpriced”

Note. This review is from the perspective of a 30yr old single male. The hotel itself is not bad. At the most it’s a 3 star hotel. It is about 15mins from the airport so that’s good. However it’s 20-25mins from everything else. Now the amenities itself, the rooms are okay but for 200euros/day and a… more

Note. This review is from the perspective of a 30yr old single male. The hotel itself is not bad. At the most it’s a 3 star hotel. It is about 15mins from the airport so that’s good. However it’s 20-25mins from everything else. Now the amenities itself, the rooms are okay but for 200euros/day and a twin bed is a bit outrageous. The internet is free, but cuts out every 5mins. It was really bad. The entertainment (TV) station is not modernized. There is no HDMI so you can’t your device or use Bluetooth to watch Netflix or whatever. If you are part of the young crowd, this is not the hotel for you. Buses and buses of old tourists stay here. Which brings me to my next point, the breakfast is not free and it’s 20euros if you do decide to eat there. It is buffet style only for breakfast. Lunch and dinner is menu style. They have a bar on the lobby level and it’s kinda cool but it’s always empty. Anyway, all this to say your dad would love it but you wouldn’t.
