Service9 mentions
  • The Euro was introduced in 1999, almost 20 years ago. Although I arrived at the hotel before the official check-in time there was no problem getting access to my room immediately. 2
  • I'd highly recommend the Taj in Coimbatore, decent rooms and service is always top notch 12
  • Many many thanks to the excellent concierge staff and in particular to highly professional Kevin for help during my stay in Lisbon, obrigada! 6
  • 5 star Nuno was amazing and was so helpful explaining the port differences and told us about his degree in alcohol and the difference between colours and tastes and how it's made differently. 6
  • The hotel is slightly outdated and you can hear the other people easily elsewhere but staff amazing. 6
  • Thank you in advance. We recently spent a night at My Story Rossio (on Rossio Square). Not a ton cheaper, we paid €170 for one night, but we really liked it. Nice staff, great location. 20
  • Staff were all very approachable and friendly, felt like I was properly looked after. 6
  • The service at the front desk was friendly but perhaps a bit slow. 2
  • The help to our colleague with allergies was amazing and they were so accommodating. 6
Location12 mentions · 1 filmed
  • The Radisson Blu Hotel Lisbon is located in the northern parts of central Lisbon. It is quite close to Lisbon airport, located just by the threshold of the southern runway making it a good choice for a late arrival or an early departure. 2
  • With its prime location, luxurious accommodations, exquisite dining options, and top-notch amenities, Hotel Radisson Blu in Lisbon offers a sophisticated retreat for travelers seeking an unforgettable experience in the heart of the city. On camera174:40
  • @jaykay...we stayed at BePoet in Lisbon last fall. Great value, terrific location. Would stay there again. 20
  • The Radisson Blu Hotel, Lisbon is conveniently located within a five-minute drive from the airport, and the hotel offers a free shuttle. 1
  • The hotel is located in the Campo Grande district of Lisbon, which is somewhat far from the main tourist areas in Baixa and Chiado, which are about 6 km away. 2
  • To complete this thread, we stayed at the Melia. A very convenient location. 10
  • In hindsight, I wish I would have stayed near Orient train station and Park of Nations on our last night instead of Melia. We have stayed at Radisson Blu also before and it was easy to get either into Lisbon neighborhoods or airport by taxi. 10
  • They must have switched things up! We went on the Portugal tour in 2022 and the tour stayed at the Hotel Lisboa Plaza. We loved this hotel, added two extra days prior to the tour starting. Great location, walkable to pretty much everything, close to transit. 20
  • If you have an early flight it was convenient to walk to the airport. There is a shuttle but the line was too long and the walk took less time. 10
  • Really had an easy pleasant one night stay with our large family. Very convienet to metro and airport. 6
  • Kathy, We recently stayed at a great BnB in Principe Real https://www.1869principereal.com/ Loved it and it is in a great location and just steps away from the hidden gem of Lisbon restaurants 20
  • We stayed at the Hotel Alegria - https://www.hotelalegria.pt - last September and absolutely loved it! It's a Rick Steves recommended hotel. It's in a great location and has a little park in front with a cafe where we sat every evening with a glass of wine. 20
Room6 mentions
  • The Raddisson Blu in coimbatore refused to give me a new room when I complained that there was mold all over the room. The said they were fully booked but they would send over the head of house keeping, which they never did. 12
  • Decor is a bit generic throughout, but rooms are clean, pleasant, and tastefully put together. 1
  • The room itself was very old-fashioned in terms of design, these furniture have probably been in use for quite some time. 2
  • The Raddisson Blu in coimbatore refused to give me a new room when I complained that there was mold all over the room. The said they were fully booked but they would send over the head of house keeping, which they never did. This is absolutely disgusting and a huge health and safety concern. 12
  • Other rooms may be nice but when you neglect one space for so long, it makes me wonder what else is being skipped on. i went through the google reviews and there were other reviews complaining about this exact room from a month ago and nothings changed. 12
  • Small room but very clean and fresh, and made great use of the space. I'd stay there again. 20
Food6 mentions
  • Start your day on a delicious note with the exquisite breakfast. Renowned for its commitment to culinary excellence and guest satisfaction, the hotel's breakfast experience is a true feast for the senses, setting the perfect tone for a day of exploration and adventure in the vibrant city of Lisbon. 17
  • Had breakfast every morning and the buffet was amazing. 6
  • I have yet to stay in a bad one. Their food isnt great either. 12
  • I had breakfast and lunch there and it was just average with no selection. It felt generic. 12
  • We stayed at the Radisson Blu near the airport. I think we had to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel but they have a free shuttle bus which gave us a ride to the airport the next morning. The rate was reasonable (about $180, I think), and included a breakfast buffet. 10
  • The rooms were spacious and the breakfast was very good. Definitely worth checking out! 20

  • The hotel rooms at the Melia airport hotel was dark and when you step into the room the toilet and shower are right there in stalls. There was no separate room for the bathroom. 10
