First time visit to Lisbon. We chose this hotel after a recommendation and was not disappointed. Hotel was well situated in the centre of Lisbon and was clean throughout. The greeting at reception was friendly and first class and this was carried on throughout the hotel. Although we visited in March it was great to sit on the terrace every night with a drink and on two occasions had the hotel food, which was lovely. Will definitely visit again

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.

The Memmo Alfama hotel is just lovely in a fabulous location with beautiful water views. Our room was comfortable, spacious and inviting. The daily breakfast in the very cool breakfast lounge is outstanding. The terrace is incredible with unsurpassed views, atmosphere and delicious food. And we cannot say enough about the excellent staff and high level of service they provided every day! They made our stay at Memmo Alfama special. A terrific experience!

My husband and I had never been to Lisbon before. We decided to stay in the Alfama area because it sounded interesting and historic. We chose the Memmo Alfama Hotel, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Communication with the hotel was excellent. I had emailed them several times about various requests and they responded immediately. Our room was spectacular. It had a little patio with a view of the river. Which was stunning. The bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was included each morning and offered a wide array of everything including eggs, fruits, yogurt and pastries. One evening they had Fado singers that we enjoyed immensely. The decor of the hotel is contemporary, but elegant. Each afternoon, we would spend some time at the rooftop. Overlooking the Targus River. The swimming pool on the rooftop is beautiful and tiled in an unforgettable red tile. Most notable was the friendliness of the staff. They offered a free tour of the Alfama district. Our guide Gaetano was really cute and knowledgeable. A great little boutique hotel. …

MEMMO Alfama I am not quite sure where to start. I was unsure of any hotels in Portugal as this was my first visit. This will most certainly not be the last! The staff of the hotel are what make this place so special and worth the trip. From the day we arrived, they were nothing short of accommodating. Although there was a mixup with the time difference in booking (our flight left our time at night but arrived their time the next day so I was charged for a day I was not actually staying there for), the front desk attendant assured me she would straighten it out and she was extremely warm and friendly. We were exhausted from our flight but they offered us water and even asked us if we were hungry. That was the first sign that I’d made the right choice. It’s located off the Main Street so it’s quiet and cozy. Yet, it’s close to everything you want to see within a short walk. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby. The church and museum are a short walk away. Main square a short walk as well. We walked everywhere, everyday. The room was very clean (that is a big part of why I tend not to stay in hotels), so this was a huge plus for me. They exceeded my expectations. The bed smelled fresh. The pillows and sheets smelled like they’d been washed in bleach which played a major part in me feeling comfortable in sleeping on it. The bathroom was clean but one drawback is I cannot use their scented colorful toilet paper. We simply bought some at the supermarket not too far away. The maids did an amazing job of tidying up the room every day and I appreciate them very much for what they do to keep the rooms clean! Breakfast was amazing every single morning. I dare say that this hotel spoiled me! Fresh fruit and pastries every morning, with fresh juice and the spread was way too good to be true! They truly are wonderful people who want to ensure your stay is a good experience. From Philadelphia, to Portugal! I dare say they felt like family. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and always offered things for us to do and places for us to visit. If I am ever in Portugal again, I would most definitely stay there. The view from terrace was amazing and every morning I looked forward to seeing it. My only issues were the birds. But that’s not something they can help. It barely made an issue for us honestly and the staff made sure they didn’t disturb us or our time spent there. Tips: don’t stay in a room close to the entrance, the noise would wake us up from taxi arrivals to trash disposals. Also, those wanting to smoke often did so at the front of the hotel. Get a room near the terrace. Beautiful views. No need for a taxi, most places are walkable and worth the walk for the views and sights. The hotel is off the main road so it’s very quiet, in terms of traffic and noise of passersby’s. Opt for the breakfast option, it’s well worth it! I enjoyed my stay so much and dare I say that my sister cried upon leaving. We hadn’t vacationed together since our mom died in 2014 and this hotel made up for it in major ways. The atmosphere and the employees are exemplary and I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Lisbon, Portugal! Obrigado! …

We stayed for three nights at this delightful hotel tucked away in the heart of Lisboa. Staff are well trained and helpful. Bedrooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was delicious. We can recommend and will be returning. (Only comment is that :- in the bar area the furniture is good for drinks and tapas. However, for breakfast, although there is larger higher table and chairs for 8 that can be shared, the other chairs and tables although attractive and stylish, they are impractical for eating a meal as they are rather low.

This is a fabulous boutique hotel in a great location, close to the castle and cathedral and also convenient for trams, buses, subway and trains. The room was compact but comfortable, some noise occasionally if the window was open as it overlooked the hotel entrance. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of cold items as well as hot dishes made to order. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Sadly the weather wasn’t great so we had limited opportunities to sit on the extensive terraces and enjoy the view. Although there is a pool, it was much too cold to use. Overall a great choice for a short break
