Beautiful location, excellent food, rooms were a little cramped and the chairs around the courtyard not the most comfortable, staff extremely pleasant especially the front desk who went over and beyond to make our stay perfect.

This hidden away gem delivers, not with wonderful service but spectacular views from their pool deck. Clean and well appointed, the property offers a serene and relaxing environment from the bustle of the neighborhood. From complimentary breakfast to afternoon drinks, the patio/deck area offers sweeping views of the bay and picturesque hillside neighborhood. Only negative was that it appears that tourist from off the street have found this spot.

Wow… what a find this hotel is. Right in the heart of the Alfama district, it is tucked away down a side street/lane and the exterior belies the modern luxurious interior. Because it is set back from the Main Street it is very quiet and we had fantastic sleeps every night. Breakfast is pretty good although you may need a bit of patience to get the cooked options. The weather was so good we had our breakfast on th outside terrace overlooking the river… stunning. Evenings were spent outside on the terrace sipping generously poured drinks in an atmosphere that simply was unique. The pool is more of a plunge pool. We didn’t use it as daylight hours were filled exploring the area. The bedrooms were comfy and well appointed with comfortable beds. It was not cheap… but the. Again we were not looking for cheap and the quality met our expectations so we were more than happy. All in all a fantastic hotel to stay in for a Lisbon city break.…

When our Uber driver dropped us off on the street we weren’t sure what we had gotten ourselves into. He pointed us in the direction of the hotel and we followed the cobblestone road to the end of the alley. There stood Memmo Alfama. As we walked thru the front door we were greeted so warmly. Everyone at the front desk welcomed us with their smiles and their extremely helpful attitudes. Domingues, with his infectious smile, gave us a tour of the hotel. We knew then we had found heaven on earth. Beautifully appointed rooms, breathing taking views from the rooftop terrace, everything was picture perfect. If we had to pick one thing that represented the specialness of the hotel it would be the people who work there. Yes the view and the food were amazing, but the staff was incredible. Jamie and David are wonderful bartenders! Domingues, our tour guide and wine connoisseur! Lucas and Diego were great servers! The wonderful ladies that served breakfast!Everyone at the front desk! (We wish we knew everyone’s name). Last but not least is Ines. Her attention to detail and her kindness will never be forgotten. (My Lisboa sister). Many thanks for an unforgettable experience. Much love to all. Rick and Mary …

This must be one of the most enjoyable breaks I can remember. The hotel was amazing far surpassing our expectations. It is clean modern with open rooms and a great terrace and small plunge pool, where cocktails snacks & food an be enjoyed sitting at tables under umbrellas and looking out over Alfama to the port. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful and I should like to mention especially one of the Receptionists, Jeremy, who went out of his way to help us pick restaurants and places to go. The rooms are modern with excellent air conditioning and the housekeeping was excellent. I jwould recommend this hotel to everyone and if we go back to Lisbon we will be sure to return there.

Memo Alfama is the perfect place to stay in Lisbon to get an authentic feel of old Lisbon. It is well located, comfortably decorated, well run and has the loveliest rooftop bar and pool. The hotel reached out to us to confirm our arrival, and helped arrange transportation to and from the airport. They advised us on places to eat and did everything possible to get us an early check in upon our arrival from an early morning flight into Portugal from the USA.

Main hotel terrace with views over the Tagus. Service was exceptional. Food was great. The location was ideal! Disliked · The room was barely large enough for two people with two suitcases. Granted, the room size was mentioned, but we won't stay there again because of the tiny size. Too bad. Also, there was no lighting inside or near the closet, so you couldn't see what you were looking at or looking for.

My recent stay at Memmo Alfama Hotel in Lisbon was a charming and authentic experience. The hotel’s location in the heart of the historic Alfama district offered a glimpse into Lisbon’s rich culture and history. My room had a balcony with breathtaking views of the winding streets and the Tagus River. The design combined modern comfort with traditional Portuguese elements, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The central location allowed me to explore Lisbon’s iconic landmarks, from São Jorge Castle to the Fado Museum. Dining at the hotel’s restaurant, Memmo Alfama Terrace, was a culinary delight, with a menu showcasing Portuguese flavors and fresh seafood. Memmo Alfama Hotel exceeded all my expectations, and I eagerly look forward to returning to this charming gem in Lisbon.

Fabulous small boutique hotel in great location. Laid back and extremely relaxed, with attentive but not intrusive staff. Our room was small but great for a two night stay and not an issue as who would want to spend time in their room with such a stunnng outdoor area over looking the rooftops of Alfama. Perfect spot for alfresco breakfast too. Hotel offers a free 2 hour walking tour of the area which is well worth doing. One of the best city hotels we’ve stayed in.
