Memmo Alfama Hotel, Lisbon

Tv. Merceeiras 27, 1100-348 Lisboa, Portugal (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Billing itself as the first boutique hotel in the historical Alfama neighborhood, the 42-room Memmo Alfama has a rooftop mosaic infinity pool and wine bar that both feature views over the neighborhood and the Tagus River beyond.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Lisbon.

Frommers review:

“The Memmo, which opened in late 2013, claims to be the area’s first luxury boutique hotel. In a historic city blessed with seven hills and a river stretching for 10 miles, breathtaking views are not hard to find but few match those from the Memmo’s pool, the surrounding sun deck, and many of the rooms.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Lisbon.

Telegraph review:

“Offering an authentic taste of Lisbon, this 42-room hotel lies within the Kasbah-like lanes that make up Moorish Alfama. From its sleek terrace, with inset pool, are some of the city’s best views of Alfama’s characteristic church spires and red roofs, beyond which flows the wide Tagus River.”

Enjoyable stay, unique hotel!

We had a great experience in the hotel. It is cozy and beautiful. The room was original, with a transparent glass bathroom. The staff was very friendly. It was a very enjoyable environment. We had a sea view, which made the stay even more pleasant. Breakfast was top! We will definitely considering to come back.

Sound isolation:)

Great stay in the heart of Alfama

Location of the hotel is in the central area of Alfama district and is close to all the good foods and restaurants. View from the hotel terrace is great with lots of sunshine the whole day. Breakfast had lots of selection of fresh bakeries, fruits and cereals and the staff was very friendly. Overall it was a very pleasant stay for us.

The room is a bit small with very limited space for luggage.

True gem in the heart of Alfama

Incredible experience at Memmo! We were charmed and fell in love with it. Little details were in every corner, and even the smell of the hotel is exquisite. The level of customer service is unparalleled. We felt welcomed and treated extremely well from the very first moment we arrived, until the last one when they were calling a taxi to take us to the hotel. The breakfast experience was wonderful, with all the staff bending over backwards so we could enjoy ourselves. The room was clean, comfortable, cute, romantic, bright, airy… we loved it! The lotion, body wash, shampoo, everything was top notch. The location was PERFECT, right in the heart of Alfama, which is one of the most romantic, historic, charming and intriguing neighborhoods we’ve ever visited. All in all, this trip to Lisbon was magical, and our stay at Memmo was a big part of it. Obrigado to all the beautiful staff at Memmo, we can’t wait to visit again.

It was perfect.

Perfect propery. I do highly recommend.

The property's location, amenities, customer service, and breakfast were exceptional. The room was clean, the staff provided helpful service, and the hotel's proximity to numerous attractions was ideal. Bianca delivered outstanding service, contributing significantly to a flawless stay through her helpfulness and respectful demeanor. All staff members provided exemplary service. I plan to return next summer and will specifically request Bianca's assistance; her continued employment is highly recommended as she is a valuable asset to your team.

A fabulous boutique hotel, in a prime location

The location of the Memmo Alfama is excellent, with tremendous views across the Tejo river as well as across the roof tops of the old town. The terrace, with the swimming pool, are charming and the breakfast is outstanding. All in all, this is a super boutique hotel which will not disappoint you.

Terrace and bar area - informal breakfast

Minor detail really - but we were in Room 1 and the door into the public toilet could do with a soft close mechanism as it bangs sometimes. Fortunately it was lightly used so didn't really disturb us - but would be an easy fix

Gorgeous stay in a beautiful and loving city

Beyond the gorgeous property and stunning views, the staff was extremely kind and accommodating to me during my entire stay. From start, when I arrived early, to finish, when they helped me book a car to the airport and everything in between, I am forever grateful to the people who made my stay in Lisbon SO extra special. I didn't have air conditioning and they were quick to resolve my warm room. I was greeted with sweet little candies as a welcome when I arrived and the staff was always available for a recommendation and a hello every morning. I appreciated how clean and sunny my room was and it was perfect spot for my holiday.

Lovely, quiet hotel with the opportunity to enjoy the views from the terrace. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Super breakfast including a continental buffet of cold meat & cheese, crossant & pastries, fresh fruit & yoghurt, cereals, and a freshly cooked breakfast to order.

I would prefer more traditional breakfast seating rather than the low sofas, chairs, and tables.

A unique hotel with the most excellent staff & fabulous views.

Breakfast was brilliant & Monica overseeing proceedings was exceptional. We loved the view from our room. Amazing! Roof top bar staff brilliant! Compliments to housekeeping who had very high standards. And then on to reception - the jewel in the crown. Again exceptional! Leonardo showed us around & explained all areas of the hotel. Cannot remember all names of those on reception (so sorry) but you were all wonderful! Today my husband phoned the hotel to make some enquiries about making a booking for next year. He spoke to Arielle (we had met before). What an outstanding young woman - so so informative, beautiful command of the English language & above all a genuinely lovely person. Last but not least, the brilliant young man who was responsible for the cleaning of the communal floor areas. He would always stop work to allow guests to continue their travels. Always with a smile & great courtesy. Huge thanks to you all.

Feel guilty finding any fault - bathroom was a little compromised (cleanliness excellent) & a little surprised by how small the pool was (now I’m sounding like a complete diva!). Totally understand that land is at a premium in cities such as the gorgeous Lisbon.

A wonderful first experience in Portugal.

Loved the building and the location. Staff was very friendly. Loved that it included a walking tour with Manuel, very interesting. Manuel let a great tour, loved learning about the Alfama district one of the oldest in Lisbon. Just excellent, especially on our first day of the trip. A wonderful introduction to Portugal. Breakfast was well prepared.

Hidden paradise

The hotel is a bit hidden within Alfama which gives the accomodation its charm. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and everyone there is super friendly. The view from the terrace and the pool is absolutely amazing. Just sitting on the terrace and enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the breathtaking view was one of our favourite things to do in whole Lisbon.

Lovely design. Great staff and good facilities. The food- breakfast and lunch were great too.

The only thing was not having enough shade around the pool area and the ability to lounge there. They were having issues at the time and hopefully will be resolved soon.

Great location, close to the tram and other tourist stuff that I panned to visit. The staff was super friendly.

Navigate Lisbon’s narrow streets is always a challenge, we arrived via Uber, but the driver did not know he would be able to make a turn in front of the hotel, so we had to walk with our bags this narrow street to get there. I did not see any vegan options on the menu (breakfast).
