About Connect Lobby Bar

Connect Lobby Bar is the in‑house lobby bar and lounge of Ramada by Wyndham Addis, Addis Ababa, a business hotel located along Africa Avenue in the Bole district of Ethiopia’s capital. The venue serves cocktails, spirits, beer, wine, soft drinks, coffee, and quick bites such as sandwiches and snacks in a relaxed, contemporary setting convenient for hotel guests and airport travelers. It operates as a casual meeting point where visitors can socialize, work, or wait for flights and airport transfers while enjoying food and beverages.

A charge labeled something like “CONNECT Addis ababa” on your card statement is likely from a purchase at Connect Lobby Bar inside Ramada by Wyndham Addis, such as drinks, snacks, or a bar tab that may have been posted to your hotel room and then settled at checkout. In some cases, the charge may represent a pre‑authorization hold placed by the hotel or bar on your card to secure incidentals during your stay, which is later adjusted to the final amount. Group tabs, business meetings, or hosting guests at the lobby bar can also result in larger bar charges.

If you don’t recognize the charge, first review any hotel folios or email receipts from Ramada by Wyndham Addis around the transaction date and check whether bar or restaurant items were billed under a generic “Connect” or “Lobby Bar” description. You can contact the hotel directly using the phone or email listed on the Ramada Addis official website and provide the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the folio and receipt. If the hotel cannot locate a matching transaction or you still suspect fraud, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and request a new card if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “CONNECT Addis ababa” on my card statement?

This description most likely refers to a purchase at Connect Lobby Bar inside Ramada by Wyndham Addis, Addis Ababa—such as drinks, snacks, or a bar tab. The hotel’s systems may shorten the venue name to “CONNECT” plus the city when sending the transaction to your card network.

Could this charge be related to my hotel stay at Ramada by Wyndham Addis?

Yes. If you stayed at Ramada by Wyndham Addis, your room folio may include items from Connect Lobby Bar that were posted to your room and then settled at checkout. On your bank statement, those charges may appear under the merchant descriptor “CONNECT Addis ababa” instead of the full hotel name.

Does Connect Lobby Bar place authorization holds on my card?

Like many hotel bars, Connect Lobby Bar or the hotel’s front desk may place a temporary authorization hold on your card to cover expected bar or incidental spending. The initial hold may be higher than the final bill and should adjust to the actual charge—or fall off entirely—within several business days, depending on your bank’s policies.

How can I get a detailed receipt for a Connect Lobby Bar transaction?

Contact Ramada by Wyndham Addis directly using the phone or email listed on ramadaaddis.com and request a copy of your folio or bar receipt. Provide the transaction date, approximate time, charge amount, and the last four digits of your card so staff can locate the correct check in their system.

I don’t remember visiting Connect Lobby Bar—how can I verify this charge?

First, confirm whether you or anyone in your party stayed at or visited Ramada by Wyndham Addis near the date of the charge. Check any hotel invoices or emails for bar or restaurant items. If you still do not recognize the transaction, contact the hotel to ask if they can find a matching bill, and then follow up with your card issuer to investigate or dispute the charge if necessary.

Can Connect Lobby Bar charges appear on a different date than when I visited?

Yes. If your drinks or snacks were posted to your room, the charge may only be processed when your stay is closed at checkout, so the statement date might differ from the actual visit date. Additionally, pre‑authorization holds and subsequent adjustments can cause multiple related entries to appear around the same time.

How do I request a refund or correction for an incorrect Connect Lobby Bar charge?

Reach out to Ramada by Wyndham Addis as soon as you notice the issue, ideally with a copy of your receipt or folio and your bank statement screenshot. Ask the hotel to review the check and, if there was an error (such as duplicate billing or incorrect amount), they can process a partial or full refund back to your card. If they are unresponsive or you disagree with their resolution, you can open a dispute with your card issuer.

Can someone else’s room or bar tab be accidentally charged to my card at Connect Lobby Bar?

It is uncommon but possible—for example, if two guests have similar names or room numbers, or if a tab was closed to the wrong room and later settled to your card. If you suspect this happened, contact the hotel, ask them to pull the original signed check or room folio, and verify signatures, room numbers, and names before requesting a correction.
