Memmo Alfama Hotel, Lisbon

We loved the hotel's design and the staff were all welcoming and friendly. Our room was beautiful with wonderful views.

The only thing to note is that you have to walk out a cobblestone street to get to the main street from the hotel - our airport taxi dropped us off on the main street and we had to struggle with our bags to the main entrance. When we departed, the hotel booked a car that came right to the entrance!

Lovely hotel in a great location, amazing views and peaceful at night. Breakfast was excellent and all the staff were some of the best we've met on our travels, friendly and helpful.

Seating arrangements in bar and lounge could be more comfortable, with more tables and chairs at better height for eating.

I liked everything in this hotel. Memmo Alfama is wonderful hotel. Totally nailed with the style that have applied, the location where it is, the decorations of the hotel and the rooms everything is a big win. The hotel gives so much cosiness in the interior that is incredible, you feel like you are in your apartment although you are in a hotel restaurant. I don't have words that can express my satisfaction by the hotel staff, which every time was ready to help, knowledgeable and very friendly. This is a hotel that i will come over again if i visit Lisbon.

I can't think of anything that can be better in this hotel.

It's in a great location within Alfama - the views from the hotel bar are beautiful. The breakfast is exceptional - lots of home made items. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the extra touches the hotel provided for my husbands birthday was so thoughtful and lovely. All the staff were wonderful! We had an issue with our room and the staff were brilliant in helping us sort a new room very quickly!

There's nothing not to like!

Great hotel!

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location was exceptional. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. The pool deck was stunning and the views were magnificent

Great breakfast, great location, great people/staff. And the views from the rooftop pool/bar were really special.

The beds were way to soft for my liking and the room was showing signs of age. The shower gel bottle was broken and when you check-in at 23:00 you don't want to contact reception and get things fixed, you just want a shower. Everything was clean though. And I have no doubts the staff would solve my problems. But again, for this price, you need things to work, not to be the one to alert on issues.

Fado on site on Monday and Thursday

Breakfast was great and staff was very friendly. Convenient for walking and shopping. Watched our cruise ship unload while we sat outside.

Trouble getting an uber to come down the alley.

Charming place in the middle of the old town. You can’t get a better location to explore from. Very romantic. Love this place!

The crew, especially Nathalie, who made my birthday (70 years) a memorable event. Thanks again for a room with the best view and morning port wine present ❤️

Nice little hotel, very helpful staff.

Rooms a bit small.

Beakfast was very good, room was excellent, good size, nice and clean.

breakfast is exceptional, welcome day was suprising exceed our expectation, from staff to free chocolates, water in room and very clean room, it is very quiet is great. Terrace view is a perfect plus. Yes I recommend this hotel to anyone

nothing

Very we’ll located!!

Amazing rooftop terrace with pool and the best views; best location in Lisbon!

Incredible service (Thiago was absolutely amazing). Perfect location. Would stay here again and recommend to anyone!

No complaints

The staff were amazing. Thiago at the front desk was helpful recommending sights to see, Trolley 28 "tour", local restaurants (not tourist food), and he even broke our large Euro bills for tipping money. The morning breakfast is outstanding. Very good quality meats and cheeses and delicious cooked egg dishes. The views from the pool and terrace area amazing. You can even see your cruise ship arrive. The location is in a great area (Alfama) and is safe with many hidden local restaurants to visit. And if you get the chance to attend the Memmo hotel Wine/Dinner and Fado music show, do it!!! The wines were awesome as were the menu items. And the live Fado show was fantastic with included history of Fado. I can't recommend this hotel enough!!!

There was no desk to work on a computer but most historical European hotel rooms are smaller and do not have space for a small desk. Not a real problem, but guests should be aware of it in case they plan to work while staying at the hotel. If so, my suggestion is work from the dining area or even the terrace area with the fabulous view.

The breakfast was great. The staff at the front were very helpful, especially the men.

The breakfast wait staff seemed a bit clueless or were not well trained. The woman at the front desk did not seem friendly. The eating options in the neighbourhood seemed limited, but your hotel does not control that.

Great location and staff

Advertise oceanfront rooms were a bit of a stretch.

Breakfast and location were very good. The staff were great.

It was very cool in the building. We could not eat upstairs though we would have liked to. Beautiful view.

Design focused hotel. Beautifully decorated rooms and reception areas Breakfast was delicious Staff very helpful and friendly

The seating area in the breakfast area. Not enough standard style seats. Low sofa style seating which was too low to be able to eat at the table comfortably.

Breakfast was very good - small healthy buffet and choices specially prepared from menu . Modern boutique decor and design throughout the hotel - beautiful rooftop bar and infinity pool for the warmer months ! Staff were very helpful and professional - calm peaceful atmosphere throughout the hotel.

The room requires an extraction fan in bathroom - it was v damp and steamy and had no ventilation unfortunately. Also the modern drain in bathroom sink was rather smelly ….. Seats and tables in lounge / breakfast room are extremely low - tricky to sit at if you are of a certain age group !

The breakfast was excellent. There is a rooftop deck that has gorgeous views of the city where you can both eat and drink. It is very close to the trolley lines and an easy walk from many sights. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The bed and shower were excellent.

The only marginally negative thing I can think of is that there is about a 50 yard long small road that goes to the front door from a main road that is between buildings and seems a bit dark when you are walking back at nite though we had no problem at all and did not encounter anyone sketchy there.

Location was excellent right in the heart of historic district.

Everything was great

I love Memmo Alfama. I'm a guest whenever I am in Lisbon. It's got style and comfort. They know about hotel management. Besides, this time I had dinner in their restaurant every evening and loved it too. Their breakfast is not good; it's fabulous, in my opinion. Their staff is courteous and attentive. Lisbon is especially charming because of Memmo Alfama.

My stay was short this time. :D

Beautifully appointed, great views, and extremely welcoming and attentive staff.

There was nothing we did not like. From arrival to check-out, we had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful, peaceful property right in the heart of the old town with spectacular views! The staff were all welcoming and helpful, the rooms were small as you’d expect in a European city but well equipped and beautifully designed.

Nothing,

Charming and luxe feeling. Lovely poolside bar for door and drinks

Lovely hotel in a great location. Worth booking for the terrace alone- million dollar views. We only stayed for one night before boarding a cruise. The hotel is very close to the port, and we enjoyed seeing the ships arrive and depart. Staff was also excellent.

The views from the terrace were amazing! The shower and the proximity to the cruise terminal.

The size of the room. It was very cramped despite being rather pricey.

The views from the terrace were among the best in the city

Nothing

Amazing location. Right in the center of the city but also not right on the main road. Incredible view from the terrace.

Impeccably presented and welcoming. High standard of service.

Beautiful boutique hotel. Attentive and friendly staff who helped us with everything from booking taxis to buying train tickets and more. The views from the wine bar and rooftop were amazing, and it was nice to be able to hang out at night and to use the outdoor blankets when the temperatures had dropped. The shower in our bathroom was nice and the water got hot. The “mailbag” and the robe and slippers in our room, the music playing in the hallway, and the vases of fresh flowers around the property were a nice touch, too. Loved the little reading nooks (even left a book I’d finished to add to the collection) and the poem on the wall about the experience of traveling were inspiring. Lots to see in the area, too.

Location and staff

Nothing

Terraced bar and restaurant area. Location. Front desk staff.

Room service was later in afternoon. We would leave in morning for activities come back and sometimes housekeeping hadn't got there yet.

Free Walking Tour Fado Evening Very helpful and friendly staff

Room size rather small and shower access difficult (heavy glass door)

The staff were friendly and welcoming. I arrived early, and dropped off my bag while I walked around Lisbon. When I checked in, my bag was waiting for me in my room. Throughout my stay, all the staff made the point to say hello and ask how I was doing. The room was spacious and had a great view of the city. it was definitely a room intended for couples since the set up allowed a view into the shower from the bed. :-) The hotel also offered plenty of activities like a walking tour and a fado show. They also had an on-site restaurant. It was in a good location as well; not too noisy at night and not as hilly as it could've been in that neighborhood.

I liked everything. It was definitely the most expensive hotel I stayed in during my trip in Portugal, but I felt the service and the amenities made up for it. I would definitely stay here again as well as recommend it to friends.

Location, views, a beautiful outdoor patio, bar and restaurant.

The room was small, but I have found that with most of the hotels I have stayed in Portugal and Spain.

Everything was perfect, the location, the quiet nature of the room, the staff and how attentive they were. They did all they could to make our stay memorable. We are already planning our return next year!

Nothing

Awesome location right in the heart of historic Lisbon. Walkable to nice restaurants, easy transportation options, and very kind and knowledgeable staff, make sure to ask them for some recs. Also breathtaking views in the roof top area, having a breakfast there is quite an experience.

Very interesting design decision with a transparent door to the restroom (might not be the case in every room). I mean, not that it bothered me and my wife too much (after like 15 years together haha), but still.

Stunning hotel, intimate

The only thing I can think of is that the pool could have been warmer.

The hotel is in a great spot in the centre of Alfama, and the terrace makes the most of the view of the location. The hotel is very stylishly done, keeping much of the character of the main building.

The room was a little small and the exterior design of the building meant we couldn't see much from the windows without leaning out of them.

No place to lay out luggage

Great location, fantastic staff

The pool and deck area was great to relax and enjoy a drink at night . Staff were so friendly and very helpful. Close to good restaurants etc

Nothing

Location, pool and friendliness of staff

The property is gorgeous and ideal location

Nothing

Incredible location, cosy and clean rooms, gorgeous bar and such incredibly attentive staff. If we are ever in Lisbon again, this hotel would be our first choice!
