Radisson Blu Hotel, Lisbon

Good hotel for airport stayover

Prós: Very convenient to airport. Nice, large rooms(esp by European standards).

Contras: High cost of food and drinks in bar.

Prós: Upgraded for free to an amazing suite. You are right on a park near the university but could throw a ball over to the airport. Very comfortable! Free wifi. Paid parking though.

airport close

Prós: the room was comfortably spacious, with a round table and chairs for eating or relaxing and a desk area for working. Everything was clean, modern and luxurious feeling. The staff was friendly and the person who arranged shuttle rides and opened the front door was able to provide me with needed information on local food and amenities. They had a shuttle service providing complementary rides to the airport every half hour for the first half of the day, and the gentleman diligently inquired if I would need a ride the following morning and included my name on the reservation list for the desired time. He also provided me with accurate information about how early I needed to arrive to have sufficient time to get through security for my flight.

Contras: The location, although close to the airport, made me feel like it was located in the center of a traffic circle, both from the vehicular activity surrounding the area and the proximity to the highway. Since it was airport close, there was jet noise from take offs or landings, but not too overpowering due to good noise reducing windows.

Prós: Online check in, plus it asked it there were any special requests. I asked for 1 bed (2 adults) and a feather/down pillow.

Contras: One of the 2 special requests with the online check in was ignored--the request for the feather/down pillow. It would have been nice either for the pillow to be in the room, or an explanation of why not. Neither was provided, however.

The location is out of the tourist areas, but I ju

Prós: The hotel was first class in terms of comfort and facilities. Bathrooms was downright luxurious. Bed was big and firm. There actually is a metro stop about 150 yards away, so access to tourist areas was easier than expected.

Contras: Location, as I said, is not great for tourists.
